If anyone is interested in Roman historical fiction, my dad has been writing a series called The Imperial Archives along with two one-shot books on characters met in the series:

What does a teacher do when confronted with a garden full of Praetorian Guards? Claudius Numisius finds out when he accepts a mission from Caesar to search for an unknown people who are reputed to possess a mysterious ability, an ability

Caesar wishes to appropriate for the Empire. How far will Claudius go and what will it ultimately cost him? Orphaned siblings and a psychopath intent on using a weapon of horrific consequences cross the teacher's path and threaten the success of his mission. Whether it is Gaul, Germania, or Sicilia, wherever Claudius goes, it seems that death will follow.

Inexplicable disappearances have plagued a province in the eastern Empire for almost a quarter of a century; occurring at maddeningly regular intervals, but neither a clue nor a reason have ever been found to explain anything. A mysterious and unknown city and a shadowy figure may reveal the motive behind the disappearances, but can Claudius unravel the secret before it threatens the existence of the Empire?

How does a girl find her way in the Empire that she calls home, but one that she does not feel at home in? Julia Scipionia and her family are uprooted and moved across the Empire for a chance at a better life. It seems, however, that a better life was meant for everyone except her. Julia is a troubled young woman until she finds someone who helps her to discover who she really is. The path she takes is not an easy one; along the way, she will endure happiness, heartache, mayhem, and murder.

How does a young woman from Germania become the most powerful leader in the world? Liesel Daunhauer’s path to that title is one that she did not seek; one that takes her from her home in Germania to the Mosel River and the Teutoburg Forest. A path that forces her into close contact with the Seleucids; the ancient enemy of the Empire that will stop at nothing to destroy her and any Imperial citizens that get in their way.

If this is your vibe, consider checking them out :)

When you both present as composed to a degree and then batshit crazy when in combat.

When you both have a low key codependent friendship and freak out a little without the other.

When you both feel that you need to amount to something great, mostly because of your fathers.

But for Fabian, it’s because that’s what the world and everyone expects from him.

And for Riz, it’s because the world doesn’t expect anything from people like him.

Need to figure out a way to make sure Lou Wilson and Ally Beardsley see this comment from the Fantasy High webtoon

I like that their classmates collective reaction to Fabian and Riz being openly friends isn’t what Fabian THINKS will happen, which is ‘what!? Fabian’s friends with a nerd? He’s breaking the status quo!’ But instead, ‘oh thank god hes finally being normal about liking his friends.’

me whenever I see posts about how canon is shit and can be discarded

I love how absolutely all the D gray man Fandom is fully aware that Tyki is confused af 99.99% of the time. Like. Yeah, some of us are dense and some of us are focused on other characters and some of us only read the ten first chapters and looked for spoilers on Tumblr but. We can all agree on one thing : this boy is CONSTANTLY SUPER CONFUSED. It's just funny.

Dogs have had many jobs throughout history, in this case: Revenge.

love how the king was just like nah let's see where the dog is going with this

My favorite bookstore ever was in Salem, MA and looked like this:

Extremely fucking precarious setup. Afraid to brush against anything. But if you went to the counter and asked for something, the guy there not only somehow knew where to find it, he could yank a book out of any given teetering stack without disturbing the rest.

^ i went to this bookstore once in college, and then years later visited salem again and tried to find it, only to discover, in its place, a very neat and organized conventional bookstore with everything on shelves. i asked one the employees what happened that it underwent such a radical shift and they said, the mold,

Here's a bookstore I visited in New Orleans
