Weird Cross-over Crack Ship

So am I the only one who thinks Fenris and Jessica Jones would be a good couple? They’d get drunk without judging each other for it, although Fenris would attempt to convert her to drinking more champagne. Jessica bluntly comments that Danarius’ abuse of Fenris wasn’t his fault, and actually talks about her Kilgrave experiences. 

It would be kind of sweet for two broken people to support each other and find love.  

Fascinating insights about Floralia and Flora’s cult. 

The Floralia is a Roman festival honoring Flora, the goddess of spring, flower gardens, and crops. It was held each year from April 27th or 28th to May 3rd. She is married to Favonius, the God of the West Wind. Flora was one of the most important goddesses in the Roman pantheon, one of only 15 deities to have a cult administered by a state priesthood consisting of a married couple, who were appointed for life.

The celebration of the Floralia included theatrical performances, competitive games, and a sacrifice to Flora, presumably at her temple on the lower slope of the Aventine Hill near the Circus Maximus.

Manipulation: I 'healed' some of the fresco's more obvious flaws and added the floral border.

He’s past the point of nooo return!

Julius Caesar led a single legion south over the Rubicon from Cisalpine Gaul to Italy. In doing so, he broke the law on imperium and ignited civil war.

"You want the truth, Servant of Truth? The truth is when you banish the gods from the world, they eventually come back-with a vengeance. Humans can't stay away from gods. Gods can't stay away from humans. It's the natural order of things."

Yikes! I knew Augustus made Cleopatra out to be an evil homewrecker, but this just takes the cake for ridiculous rumors. 

I've read in several scholarly articles that ancient Egyptians perfected the art of flipping crocodiles on their backs and having sex with them to ensure good fortunate and prosperity in their lives. Is this... is this true? Did ancient Egyptians actually fuck Nile Crocodiles? Further, did Cleopatra actually use bees for sexual pleasure? I understand bestiality was still punishable by death in Egypt for most of its history but - are these things really true?

No. No they’re not.
