Bad Ancient Rome Joke

Mary Shelley suddenly became a lot cooler than she already was. 

hello! i’m sorry if you’ve been asked this before but do you think you could elaborate on mary shelley’s attraction to women? i’ve heard of people describing her as bisexual just in passing but i’ve never found a good explanation of it. once again, i’m very sorry if you have been asked this before!

I may have, so check the questions tag just in case!

But Mary Shelley was involved with Jane Williams after Percy Shelley’s death, a relationship/involvement. Mary often described her in terms of endearment and her sole delight. Everything kind of went to hell when she found out Jane had married Thomas Hogg and was talking about how Mary was cold towards Shelley, which is, if you ask me, a big, big asshole move.

She also had wlw friends and help a couple to forge passports so they could ran away together too.

Seriously, it is not lesbophobic to rightfully object to your identity being erased. Would it have been that hard for the person taking the pictures to call it a queer wedding, a bisexual wedding, a wlw wedding, or even a same gender wedding? 

"Lesbian can be used as an adjective for wlw duh." But also "Don't you dare use lesbian if you're bi/pan!"

Heaven Forbid the bisexual brides feel their sexuality is invalidated by being known as "sword lesbians" online when they are both bisexual. Can y'all just say you hate m-spec women and go to hell?

So hypothetically, how much do I need to donate to get a season two of this amazing show. 

The Seer Sisters

Agreed. Peebee might be annoying, but at least she and Vetra both apologize for their mistaken first assumptions about each other in further conversations. 

Confession:  I’m not really the biggest fan of Liam. I don’t hate him but his tendencies to make some really stupid decisions that could have some serious consequences and just be judgey as all hell really bother me. He’ll give Vetra shit about being irresponsible by bringing Sid to Andromeda, meanwhile he’s off handing out sensitive information? It just rubs me the wrong way. I wish the fandom would be more chill with people that just don’t like him.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Roman history is like a bottomless well, interesting but very exhausting

Exactly. The amount of vitriol and victim blaming political lesbians lob at bi women is disgusting. Then they falsely claim we’re the one’s holding back feminism.  

some of the people on here aren’t even trying to hide how much they hate bi women anymore and it really shows.

This is awesome!

My recreations of ancient Roman hairstyles for my Roman Society project! Julia Domna (portrait bust style 2) and Faustina the Younger.

Nero ordering the death of her half-sister Claudia Octavia probably was the deciding factor for refusing to marry him. He also possibly suspected she had knowledge of the Pisonian Conspiracy of 65 C.E. 

A statue depicting Claudia Antonia (30-66 CE), daughter of emperor Claudius and Aelia Paetia (adoptive sister of Sejanus).

I was actually surprised to discover that  she lived that long -  but then again Claudia’s descent made her a very attractive bright candidate for ambitious politicians. If Tacitus & co are to believed among the suitors were for example Cornelius Piso and emperor Nero. Latter also had her executed after Claudia refused emperor’s proposal.

Apart from Cleopatra, who would probably be double majoring in linguistics and history, these are largely accurate. 

The Romans and Friends as College Majors

Caesar: Political Science

Cleopatra: Medicine

Brutus: English

Cassius: Philosophy

Antony: Kinesiology (he's a student athlete and got paid to be there)

Cicero: Law

Octavian: Psychology

Crassus: Business

Pompey: General Studies

This is so accurate.
