This Is Cool!

The Romans When They're Drunk

Caesar: He doesn't get drunk, and no one encourages him to. They don't know what he's like drunk, and they don't want to know

Antony: Is a really happy drunk. Cuddles with everyone and impulsively buys all kinds of nonsense. When he wakes up in the morning he's surrounded by his drunk purchases but has no idea who drained his bank account.

Brutus: Sobs hysterically, an absolute wreck. Tells you his whole life story and you'll find him throwing up in the bathroom later, Cassius holding his hair back while he has to listen to him cry about his past for the millionth time.

Octavian: Starts giving speeches to everyone while standing on the table. He thinks they're motivational, but they're complete gibberish.

Cassius: A bold, angry drunk. Will fight anyone and can make literally anything into a weapon.

Pompey: Calls everybody beautiful and suddenly is under the impression that he can sing and dance.

HOPA Games Representation

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.

Read at 5:55 P.M.: The Illusive Man, Samara (she doesn’t understand messaging that well)

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.

You and she work well together, no surprise since you’re meant for each other–and I don’t just mean in the romantic way you keep botching up. You’re a team, a good one. You watch out for each other, and that’s good. But that doesn’t mean you’re meant to do every single little thing together. Yes, you have a shared destiny, but you have an individual one, and so does she.

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

The Seer Sisters

Long Overdue Ableism Post

I am sick and tired of certain right wing Christians whining about the ADA (you know the law that ensures that disabled people get an equal shake in life). Without the ADA, myself and many of my classmates wouldn’t have been able to attend school unless our parents could afford the fees for one of the few private schools for disabled people. Many of us would be unable to move in public since ramps wouldn’t be installed, and the visually impaired couldn’t utilize guide dogs. 

In the past, many of us were forcibly institutionalized and sterilized since we were viewed as worthless. Those who weren’t institutionalized were written off by teachers as lost causes, our issues largely undiagnosed. The fact that many of us were murdered in Nazi Germany was ignored until recently. It took mass demonstrations before the ADA was passed in 1990. 

For a group that claims to support “Christian charity” y’all sure aren’t practicing what you’re preaching. 

I agree wholeheartedly.

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