This message is for Big Fish and the gaming companies it represents. I’m a queer woman who enjoys playing HOPA games, but is disappointed to see NO LGBT+ representation in them. I understand it would difficult for companies working in places that are hostile towards LGBT+ people to include some (e.g. Russia), but would request that y’all have companies that aren’t make an effort to include us. I shouldn’t have to resort to headcanons to see people like me in HOPA games.
Furthermore, I would like express disappointment in the paltry amounts of POC representation in HOPA games. Some of said representation may have been problematic.
In a nutshell please try to do better representation wise and hire more POC and LGBT+ people to work on your games.
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.
Sounds fairly accurate to how they responded in real life surprisingly.
Antony: oh my God, they killed Caesar!
Cleopatra: You bastards!!
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.
Just found out today that one of the first sit-ins in America happened at the Alexandria Library in 1939. This was started by a black lawyer named Samuel Wilbert Tucker, and while he lost the case, Tucker continued to fight back against segregation and was part of the NAACP.
Caesar: Knowing when to shut up.
Tertulla: Remembering when friends’ and relatives’ birthdays are.
Brutus: Any sense of self-preservation.
Cassius: Seriously guys! It was a rhetorical question.
Cassius: other than cooking, what basic life skills don't I have?
This is awesome!
My recreations of ancient Roman hairstyles for my Roman Society project! Julia Domna (portrait bust style 2) and Faustina the Younger.
I am begging whoever is casting the Mass Effect movie to not whitewash Ashley Williams who is Latina, when there are plenty of badass Latina actresses who could portray her. We already had to put up with Bioware whitewashing her in Mass Effect 3.
And they both have extremely sexy voices.
I love the difference between vetra and garrus combat styles
Garrus: one perfectly aimed shot with a sniper will drop the target
Vetra: Just……fill it with bullets
