#is this a good edit? no. but I made it when I was depressed and it really kept me going for a while#ides of march#brutus#julius ceaser#hbo rome#tobias menzies#ciaran hinds#the Shakespeare quote is in there because I thought it would add maximum hilarity to be juxtaposed with a terrible terrible edit#and you know something.

"on the one hand," i tell the late medieval monk i hang out with sometimes, "each age reconfigures the great events of history in the way that makes them most meaningful for their own time. like how you keep drawing alexander in full plate."
"he's a knight, what else would he wear"
"on the other," i continue, ignoring him, "it does make me feel like i've gone a little bit crazy when people applaud caesar's assassins as restoring power to the people. at best they wanted a different dictator for life."
"was your 1st century ad stoic friend busy or something"
"yes. anyway the point is applauding action taken for action's sake without looking at the consequences is silly. it's not like killing caesar restored the Res Publica anyway -"
"because all Caesar did was knock over its rotted corpse," he says along with me. "can i play Dark Souls in peace now?"
#this is what my classicist boyfriend has been telling me for years#and having finally read some books about rome like. yeah#but like you know I get people are having fun so I don’t want to be too much of a downer#and simultaneously I enjoy representations of these specific historical figures that are not at all true to life#with like the understanding that it’s fiction#but all the same I think that this is a good point and needs to be more widely understood#anyway. I’m a rome fan newbie so my opinion means very little#ancient rome#ides of march
Can’t sleep. Jamie Fitzjamie as a paper doll I made months ago in a sound of music dress
#i put her in a bunch of dresses from the sound of music but i think I like this one best#she is the perfect woman I’d kill for her.#like every single other fitzier shipper in the world i have an idle sound of music au that i entertain the idea of writing and then don’t#mostly just to imagine her and francis in the laendler scene. height of romance#anyway I’m not much of an artist but i thought I’d contribute to Jamie Fitzjamie since the playlist dropped and we are all celebrating her#so. here she is#james fitzjames#the terror
