Weird Cross-over Crack Ship

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.

Darth Malak: Didn't you die?

Revan: That was weeks ago dude. Things change.

LOL.

This is very accurate. 

assuming bi youth only experience marginalization and oppression when they’re in same gender relationships makes as much sense as assuming that gay people only experience marginalization and oppression when they’re in a relationship

it doesn’t

“Cough” shitty Catholic apologists “cough”.

felt inspired to make this after reading some of the comments on my post about liking history

A gruesome, but excellently drawn art of Mark Antony dying in Cleopatra’s arms. 

Antony and Cleopatra

Yeah, I’m worried about her too. 

So um like... does anyone know what happened to Richelle Mead? She dropped hints about releasing more VA content on the reddit AMA in June last year and then never mentioned it again. Not only that, but she’s entirely disappeared from social media and hasn’t posted anything in 11 months. It’s like she’s fallen off the face of the earth. Where did she go? Is she OK?

Fictional Meeting

Adrian Ivashkov: Wait! So you’re that Antony guy I read about in history class. Let’s party together!

Mark Antony: As long as this party includes gallons of wine, I’m in.

Sydney Sage: Damn it, Adrian!

Cleopatra: Just hide their car keys, and then they’ll have to call us to rescue them.

Sydney Sage: Good point. 

Prayers were dead songs lodged in my head, soothing, routine words that meant less to me than they should have.
