12.04.20 | 22.10.20 Things for fun. Second one is “Give me six characters that remind you of me” thing
If I had a nickel for every time I got into a piece of media wherein there was:
- a mystery centred around the death of this high-status asshole who kind of isn’t dead
- a main character audience-insert who you never see and who must solve this murder with the help of the other characters
- the ex-wife of said high-status asshole, who hates him and has powers of precognition
- someone who was framed for the death of the asshole and has to flee
- a pre-established (and possibly romantic) relationship between the audience-insert and their ‘boss’
- that ‘boss’ character, who tells the audience-insert half truths in order to protect* them
…I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
Like fr ain't no way of making yall happy🙄🙄
he makes a good point, for once
You like the arcana👀
You have no idea I'm literally OBSESSED with it!!
I've got a literal obsession for it and already had few fics and headcanons in mind, but sadly life isn't leaving me any time for it😔😔
Feel free to leave any requests though!!
It's crazy how after both playing the Arcana and studying ancient history I can confidently say that Count Lucio is basically the same as Emperor Augustus.
I mean, their lives are so similar it's scary.
Both weren't rightfully meant to become leaders of a kingdom/empire/city, but they got that title thanks to another important figure that owned that power before them and passed it down to them.
They brought peace and promoted their victories and their right to command through art and games (the Latins used to say "panem et circenses" which literally means "bread and circus <games>", indicating that the best way to command with the support of the people was through food and fun times, which for both Vesuvia and Rome meant gladiators and Arenas).
Nobody talks about this but Augustus KILLED HIS HALF BROTHER, he threw Caesar and Cleopatra's child down a goddamn window to secure his right to the throne- and he's still remembered as a hero and the one that brought peace to the people of Rome!!!!
Also let's not mention that he wanted to promote the traditional family values yet he got married three times and left one of his wives with a message right after she had his baby. Like, baby popped out, message arrives: "yo we're divorced now".
Like, is Count Lucio that bad compared to THIS?
