been trying to figure out who grace should be closest to after cutting off ties with constables and running off with twitch sometime in the future and i can't believe i didn't think of revolutionaries. oh my god. duh.

of course that's where you go when you realise you hate the system and wanna work to fix it!!!

#did not intend for the total 180 character arc but when have i ever been able to predict ocs before #then again! murdering a master of the bazaar was pretty unexpected. for the guy i made to follow laws #i've been so focused on twitch going apeshit loudly in my brain i didn't realise that #grace has been quietly sneaking in the complete opposite direction to what i expected in the background #good for him. fuck the system. get their asses grace #londonmusings

oh yeah i watched the new ii and it was pretty wack. my only two thoughts are

i love cabby

they had to neutralize clover?????? hello?????????

#melonposting #ii spoilers #clover continues to be one of the only good people here. like hello thank you for saying that cabby didn't do anything wrong #(though at this point ae's probably just kinda backpedalling after the ableism allegations so. yeah. anyway it's really the bare minimum)#also it made me so angry to see nickel again. nooooo we just got rid of him!!!!!!!!!! boo tomato tomato tomato #i did find it funny that they were gonna have the dumb fantube-bot family thing and then blueberry interrupted it. ha ha ha. ha #yeah about the other thing. now i'm worried that any victory cabby gets out of this will only be a result of ae backpedalling #it's already pretty weird that the show's general perception of cabby did a complete 180 out of nowhere #i dunno. everyone ganging up on mephone was kinda strange #like okay springy and walkie talkie have their beef with him. but the cameras? zoetrope??#forgive me if i'm being dumb but i can't remember anything so horrible mephone did to them to warrant (gesturing vaguely) all of this #i dunno it's just kind of silly to have the big-bad be 'all of these random guys mephone kinda annoyed'#like huh. huh?#idk i'll see where they'll go with this. hopefully cabby doesn't get screwed over <3 that's really all i'm hoping for haha

you hate clara in series 7? not a clara stan.

you hate clara in series 8? not a clara stan.

you hate clara in series 9? not a clara stan.

you think clara’s farewell in hell bent is bad? not a clara stan.

in conclusion, if you can’t take the time to understand her arc then you are not a clara stan.

#clara oswald #yes i’m gatekeeping #the transition from series 7 to 8 is a bit wobbly because of matt smith leaving when a plan for another series with him was being considered #but clara is still clara.#clara in series 7 has just begun travelling with the doctor. clara in series 8 is experienced in travelling with him.#that’s the difference.#and as for clara being a lot more bubbly in series 7 #she admits that’s a way of masking her bossy control freak nature in time of the doctor #AND SHES STILL VERY BUBBLY AND CUTE AND CURIOUS IN SERIES 8 #okay this isnt well thought out so excuse any typos or over dramatic use of words but #i’m tired of people acting like clara’s character did a complete 180 after series 7 when she’s still very much the same in my eyes #that’s not to say i have no problems with the transition from series 7 to 8 but that’s nothing to do with clara’s personality #i’m just disappointed we didn’t get to see her family as much and i think that’s one of my issues with danny.#i like his character but i think some scenes with him would have been better if they had been with clara’s family instead #okay i’m rambling i’ll stop now.

I loooove it when OCS go in the complete opposite direction of the path you set them on btw. Love it when kind OCS turn into bitter cunts, and asshole OCS turn into gentle sweethearts. Such is the nature of the characters

#thinking about my guys #citrus was always set to get his redemption and settle down so his stuff isnt a complete 180°#and the evil shit he did is still part of his story and growth #meanwhile. viola was supposed to be a sweetheart but ended up a bastard and a pest #gyrian was meant to be a hyper carnivore horrific gore monster and now hes just a dad whos also a dinosaur #orchard. oh orchard. he was a one off jokey character i never paid attention to and now look at him. hes traumatized and sad #as it is so it were....#📡 incoming transmission 📡#ocs

#carly lb cf #chicago fire #4x02 #chief boden #wallace boden #gabriela dawson #THE COMPLETE 180 HE DID AFTER SHE BLURTED THAT OUT WAS SO CUTE OH MY LORD 😭🤧💗#he was SO OFFENDED LMAOOOOO #like 'my baby wants to leave me? why? what have i done?'#ONLY TO LIGHT UP BRIGHTER THAN A DAMN CHRISTMAS TREE #cause his baby is having a baby bye i have to walk off a cliff now #i hope we get a similar parallel for chenford one day #except i imagine it going a little differently where tim approaches grey in his office solo #vehemently requesting he pull lucy off active duty and reassign her w/ scott wrigley (from 1x02) since she's carrying his baby #(much to lucy's dismay at first even though she knows he's only looking out for her and the baby)#he's wanted children for SO. LONG!!! you can't tell me he's not gonna be the most overprotective papa bear there is #okay i gotta stop making this about them god this is a cf post #but i also can't help but feel giddy and kicking my feet at the thought of even grey doing an excited lil dancy dance behind closed doors #you know he'd be just as over the moon as tim what with how long they've known and worked together #he knows tim has always secretly wanted kids so badly and he's gonna be SO HAPPY for him when he finally has one of his own #especially with lucy oh my god!!!!!!!!!#okay i'm done making this about them now i swear

i know that spn has always been inconsistent when it comes to power levels but i think it's so genuinely funny how they accidentally made michael ridiculously fucking powerful in 15x08. like RIDICULOUSLY ridiculously fucking powerful. the stupidly complex spell required to open the door to purgatory that even raphael apparently needed to get in there? no need for that boring shit! michael can do it with a single goddamn snap of his fingers! in handcuffs specifically designed to restrict the abilities of angels. the handcuffs that literally restricted the entirety of au!michael's power while he was in dean. his true vessel. he couldn't do a thing in those handcuffs. but no here comes michael waltzing up in just some guy from minnesota and opening a door to PURGATORY with a snap of his fingers. shit that even another archangel couldn't pull off. in the fucking handcuffs. GIRL.

#chuck was weakened during 15x08 i genuinely think that michael could've taken him. if he'd known where he was #like raphael couldn't pull that shit lucifer and gabriel never even attempted to pull that shit #and that was when they were all at FULL POWER. michael's power was literally being RESTRICTED and he OPENED A DOOR TO PURGATORY #one that lasted for SO much longer than the door in s6 #it actually kind of irritates me because it just kind of highlights how badly 15x19 nerfed him #like 15x19 was just horrible in general but nothing about it makes any sort of rational sense #if you don't look at it through the eye of michael grieving adam. regardless of shipping or whatever like that's still. his friend!!!!#and there is no reason lucifer should've gotten the upper hand like he did in that 'fight' if not for the fact that michael was like.#completely and utterly out of it #like the fluctuation in power just doesn't make sense (same with the 180 with michael's motivations from the beginning to the end of the #episode) unless it's about michael being in such mourning that it affects his ability to do literally everything #he OPENED a DOOR to PURGATORY with his POWER being SUPPRESSED in a VESSEL that's supposed to be WEAKER than his TRUE VESSEL.#i am grabbing you by the shoulders and staring directly into your eyes. think about that in the context of s6 for a minute. how raphael #didn't even come CLOSE to that level of power. it's so. grrrhrhgrhrrg #kate rambles #michael

how about Faramir, for the "send me a character" thing 🥰

oooooh an excellent one!

My favorite line

“In desperate hours gentleness may be repaid with death.”

“So be it,” said Faramir. My favorite moment The Houses of Healing portion, specifically his conversations with Eowyn My favorite strength His patience. He lays in wait for the men of Harad, he hears out Frodo and Sam before passing judgement(and then even moreso bc he knows they’re hiding something about Gollum but gives Frodo another chance to come clean), he listens to counsel and multiple sides of a story before giving a decision, he lets Eowyn speak her mind without interrupting before he replies/counters. I just love him. My favorite weakness How badly he wants to please his father, no matter what it costs him My favorite personal headcanon He is an excellent father and always lets his kids win when they play-wrestle

#i love hte movies but jackson did my boy so fucking dirty #it's a 180 #i will never forgive him #completely opposite from how he actually is and i have WRITTEN A COLLEGE PAPER about my displeasure on the topic #got an a #send me a character meme #lotr #faramir

hi! i cannot say i have read too much about brutus beyond the ancient sources, so i was wondering what your opinion is on him and specifically in relation to cassius? i saw your take about how cassius is often used to make brutus "look better," which i definitely have picked up on and is clear in the texts, although i was wondering if you have any posts you could direct me to, or could recommend anything in general that expands upon this idea? its really interesting, and i had not considered it very much before since i enjoyed the dynamic as it is presented

YES!! YES!!!!! this is what I live for, oh man because

and I love untangling them from each other.

so as far as modern reception for Cassius goes, a lot of the opinion on him comes from three places: Shakespeare (and by extension, Plutarch, although Shakespeare does subvert popular characterizations of Cassius in JC) and Dante (or more accurately, a fuck ton of really complex renaissance scholarship around the republic/empire, including and largely focusing on, but not limited to: Dante’s placement of Brutus and Cassius in hell). To absolve Brutus of Cassius makes for interesting themes, but it kills the nuance of the fact that these men knew each other from childhood, and Cassius had effectively married into the house Junia. Shakespeare has Brutus see Caesar’s ghost, when the ancient source that records Caesar’s ghost has the ghost appear to Cassius. Ancient sources were pretty hostile to him as well, and even as close to his life as Augustan era writers, there was a tendency to sanitize Brutus at the expense of Cassius. It was acceptable to tolerate the memory of Brutus, but to do so, you had to push all of Brutus' harsher traits off to Cassius.

a lot of that contradicts aspects of Cassius as a person from the glimpses of him we can catch in those sources. In Plutarch's Life of Brutus, he laughs and jokes, his exchanges with Cicero are covered in affection while Cicero's own opinions of Brutus vary, and Messalla Corvinus was the one who stubbornly kept the memory of Cassius alive, despite his own closeness to Octavian's circle of friends. Titinius killed himself on Cassius death, calling himself a companion in Cassius' fate (valerius maximus 9.9.2).

Which isn't to say that he's without flaw, he is, along with literally every political figure out of ancient Rome, but instead it’s about that the fraction of information we have of him gets whittled down further to reinforce an image of Brutus that's unfaithful to his historical person, so both Brutus and Cassius suffer for it.

And I don’t have anything particularly against how popular tradition portrays them, or how a lot of people tend to enjoy their dynamic, since it’s less about them historically and more about

(M.L. Clarke)

but specifically untangling Cassius from Brutus compels me because it feels lonely that so much of him gets lost to Brutus, and also I crave variety in their portrayals. I also have an insatiable curiosity and so far haven’t hit a wall with this topic.

Alright! Enough of me, I’m getting off track, let me give you some texts that I think about daily from people who are significantly more qualified to say things than I am! This is going to get long, but I’m going to do my best to stay on the topic, so under a cut:

also so sorry for the visually inconsistent citations, I was using the beta post editor but apparently it cuts you off at 10 images so I switched back to the regular post editor and gave up using the small text, but I could not figure out how to un-small text the rest without going into the html and oh boy was that a nightmare, so all the texts are also cited in the bibliography in order of appearance!

ON CASSIUS AND SHAKESPEARE this is going to be real quick, so I'll do it first

has cassius been misinterpreted?, david klein

M.L. Clarke, The Noblest Roman: Marcus Brutus And His Reputation

CASSIUS, THE MAN, NOT THE MYTH OR LEGEND, AND HISTORY

Cassius and Brutus: The Memory of the Liberators, E. Rawson

servilia and her family, susan treggiari

alternative memoirs: tales from the ‘other side’ of the civil war, kathryn welch (PLEASE, THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST ONES ON THE ENTIRE SUBJECT OF CASSIUS' RECEPTION I CAN'T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH)

ON DECONSTRUCTING BRUTUS' REPUTATION

a comparatives post I made, another comparatives post I made on the exact same topic

M.L. Clarke, The Noblest Roman: Marcus Brutus and His Reputation

senatorial wealth and roman politics, israel shatzman

ON ABSOLVING BRUTUS FROM CASSIUS AND HOSTILITY FROM ANCIENT SOURCES

Shakespeare’s Cassius: A Critical Re Appraisal, Dean Anthony Alexander

Empire and Memory, Alain M Gowing

Brutus, the Noble Conspirator, Kathryn Tempest

ALTERNATIVE TAKES ON THE “SEDUCTION” OF BRUTUS

has cassius been misinterpreted, david klein

brutus the noble conspirator, kathryn tempest

conspiracy narratives in roman history, victoria e pagan

(for fun: this video)

CASSIUS, ANTONY, AND THE EAST aka Antony And The Ordering Of Names

(for a more in depth discussion regarding slavery, Cassius and Antony in the East (43-40 BCE), Fabian E Udoh)

The Bibliography

-Has Cassius Been Misinterpreted?, David Klein -M.L. Clarke, The Noblest Roman: Marcus Brutus And His Reputation -Cassius and Brutus, In Memory Of The Liberators, E.

Bonus Round! Media that has Interesting Dynamics at play

-The City War, Sam Starbuck -HBO Rome -Cléopatre La Dernière Reine D'Egypte (listen, I can justify this one, I swear) -RSC's 2012 and 2017 JC Production -Takarazuka Revue's Rome At Dawn -The 1908 Julius Caesar short film -The Destiny of Rome...."documentary," but just the Brutus and Cassius moments

an EXTRA bonus round, the brutus, cassius, and homoeroticism text I wrote that has some more recommendations in it, including the title for that Voltaire text where Brutus doesn’t even show up for the assassination and Cassius plays the main character and it gets delightfully homoerotic in parts

I have most of these things as pdfs, so if anything here is hard to find, let me know off anon!

#babble tag #rec tag #ask tag #long post #thank you for giving me the opportunity to yell about my cassius apologist agenda 💖#hopefully i stayed on track enough to answer your inquiry and that there's something here you'll enjoy reading!!#(my real agenda is the un shakepsearification of brutus. i like him when he's messy and kind of mean lmao)#(like tragic and angsty brutus is fun and all but i want the guy who stabs caesar twice)#(i write all of these tags in confession to the fact that I used to uwu-ify brutus and did a complete 180 on it msherhsdhGH)

real ballsy for the show to have douglas kill Marcus considering that he is the one person who has no excuse to hate him

#lab rats #disney lab rats #like adam bree chase - yeah sure he manipulated them and betrayed them. theyre allowed to not like him #and with all the shit leo went through he deserves to hate marcus as long as he lives #even donald...okay so him killing marcus would still be weird bcus like. thats a kid #but he at the very least has a right to not like him #but douglas? DOUGLAS???#i love douglas but COME ON #THIS IS LITERALLY ALL YOUR FAULT #you are the one that raised him to be violent and selfish and then ditched him #he might be bad but he wasnt significantly worse than douglas #what did he do to warrant a death sentence?#not doing a complete 180 in five seconds on the request of the man who lied to him his whole life and then left him for dead?#it took. two seasons for douglas to stop trying to kill people. i think marcus deserved a little more time #mine.

FAT PIGEON HAS RETURNED I MISSED HIM SO MUCH 🥺

#fat pigeon tag #wood pigeon #columba palumbus #for weeks he was just fighting that other pigeon constantly and rarely did anything else #so he never visited and i got increasingly worried abt him #feathers were flying everywhere and even here you can see he's missing a lot of feathers and is much skinnier #i wish males weren't so territorial :(#ik it's the circle of life and natural selection and shit but i was worried fat pigeon was gonna be bullied out of his home #and it's not safe out there there are so many cattis that are excellent hunters and my dogs scare them away from here so it's safer #but he's back now and im so glad bc first of all im lov him and second of all i needed this #i've been in kind of a slump lately bc im just really burned out #existence itself is tiring for me and owl city wasn't lying when he said ''im far too tired to fall asleep''#bc my insomnia ironically gets worse when im burned out and need more sleep and i get endlessly frustrated with it #and i've just been so. not knowing what to do with myself?? bc like i have adhd so i can't do nothing that's torture #but everything else just compounded my fatigue and when you mix that with depression you get everything that usually chers you up just #not being fun anymore. and being just another Thing that tires you out even more #it's so hard to get out of those slumps bc it's not just mental it's physical. i've been physically exhausted #and anything i could have done to get myself out of it required energy i didn't have #but then i saw fat pigeon and just. my mood did a complete 180 #i have been so happy and energetic today and obviously all my problems aren't magically solved but that's what it feels like #like i feel like im top of the world rn?? there is a reason this blog is titled ''antidepressants with wings'' bc that's what pigeons are #to me at least. i love them sm 🥹#i wish there was a way i could tell fat pigeon that i would literally die for him and he's changed my life #ok so i MAY have bipolar disorder. but idc im gonna ride this high as long as i can

Me drawing Walter: he's just a silly guy, you know. A fool. An egotistical jerk. I appreciate him.

Me writing Walter: REPULSIVE. BAD. Horrible. He's horrible with no respect for others why do people like him.

#owner wjb #complete 180 on favourite character #why do I like him? don't ask.#nothing against you if you like Walter #everything against you if you think he did no wrong.

I think the doctor is interesting as a character bc you actively get to see what makes him the way that he is. Like you get to see every event from season 1 episode 1 to the very last episode that affects and changes him as a person, you WATCH it happen. I don't know if that happens with other artificial beings in Star Trek but I think its so cool cause idk how else you would do that without having a series start when the character was literally a baby and going through their entire life week by week. He is an entire test tube experiment.

#seven of nine arguably also has this but i think its different bc she did have a life before the borg and does remember things from it #stevn universe also has a similar thing #and it does it rlly well imo #i just love. going back to early seasons and seeing like #him say stuff like 'im a doctor not a performer'#and literally do a COMPLETE 180 by the end #and being able to TRACK WHERE ND HOW IT HAPPENED #its so fun its so cool also i love him #in all his grumpy forms #ch.txt #emh

i feel like fiddleford would be the kind of guy who feeds stray cats that come around the cabin but probably stops after it starts attracting gnomes and the occasional manotaur

#sorry for doing a complete 180 from the last posts but it IS fiddleford friday so i do have to talk about him a little more #fiddleford and his gang of many stray cats (?) (who knows in gravity falls really) vs ford who did not ask for this #he cant really talk though with his pet shapeshifter #simon says
