The Romans When They're Drunk
Caesar: He doesn't get drunk, and no one encourages him to. They don't know what he's like drunk, and they don't want to know
Antony: Is a really happy drunk. Cuddles with everyone and impulsively buys all kinds of nonsense. When he wakes up in the morning he's surrounded by his drunk purchases but has no idea who drained his bank account.
Brutus: Sobs hysterically, an absolute wreck. Tells you his whole life story and you'll find him throwing up in the bathroom later, Cassius holding his hair back while he has to listen to him cry about his past for the millionth time.
Octavian: Starts giving speeches to everyone while standing on the table. He thinks they're motivational, but they're complete gibberish.
Cassius: A bold, angry drunk. Will fight anyone and can make literally anything into a weapon.
Pompey: Calls everybody beautiful and suddenly is under the impression that he can sing and dance.
Yes.
Octavian: Do y'all ever get pre-annoyed? Like you already know somebody is about to piss you off
Caesar: Knowing when to shut up.
Tertulla: Remembering when friends’ and relatives’ birthdays are.
Brutus: Any sense of self-preservation.
Cassius: Seriously guys! It was a rhetorical question.
Cassius: other than cooking, what basic life skills don't I have?
This is so sweet.
Drypetis was such a soft girl; a little girl, with a wide coy smile hidden behind her hands and a tendency to stomp when she walked. She enjoyed the arts, and acted out small snippets of plays.
I remember once, she played at Ganymede and urged me to be Zeus. It was amusingly appropriate, given our age difference, and I made to spirit her away; as though she was the pale Trojan Prince. To my surprise, she instead took an ornamental sword and brandished it at me with relish, the hilt cracking against my left shoulder.
It seemed she had believed that the beautiful Ganymede had fought for his freedom here on Earth, rather than take the position as cup-bearer at Olympus itself.
It took the rest of the afternoon to explain to her that a cup-bearer to the gods was truly a sign of great status; but even when we parted after we ate, she still maintained that he would want to strike a golden eagle down; to show off such a magnificent bird with boyish charm.
(Really, the one with true boyish charm was her)
So hypothetically, how much do I need to donate to get a season two of this amazing show.
LOL.
*in the Tudor court*
Henry VIII: what’s going on guys
Thomas Cromwell: Henry
Thomas Cromwell: This is an intervention
Thomas Cromwell: you NEED to stop chopping peoples heads off
Henry VIII: *chopping off boleyns head* what are you talking about?
Thomas Cromwell: Henry!
Henry VIII, getting ready to chop off Cromwell’s head: what?
Thomas Cromwell: HENRY!
I agree wholeheartedly.
So does Atton use petnames purely ironically, mostly unironically, or does it start off as ironic and then become deeply unironic? Or was it always genuine and he just buried it under tons of irony and sarcasm like he does with everything?
…I think I answered my own question. It’s the last one.
I’ve always wanted to visit Kirkwall, Scotland both because of Dragon Age, and apparently, lots of Vikings settled there.
CONFESSION:
I have recently become aware that there is an actual place called kirkwall in Scotland, I was so stunned when I found out
Antony: I was going to get you another cat.
Cleopatra: We already have Cynane, and the animal shelter’s closed anyways.
Antony: Shit!
Cleopatra: where are you
Antony: I left early
Antony: sorry I couldn't stay longer :(
Cleopatra: wtf where are you going
Antony: I'm going home
Cleopatra: are you kidding me come back
Cleopatra: you're drunk
Antony: don't worry I called an Uber
Cleopatra: We drank at my place
Antony: oh
Antony: where am I going
Julian ( 331/332 – 26 June 363), also known as Julian the Apostate, as well as Julian the Philosopher, was Roman Emperor from 361 to 363 and a noted philosofer and Greek writer.

He’s such a complex-adorable-sweet-awesome character ç___ç <3<3<3
Mical is a terrible liar.
That’s quite an impressive feat there.
kreia: that was not the most pleasant landing i've endured. next time, we should perhaps seek out a more reputable pilot.
atton: okay boomer
Once again, credit goes to incorrect roman quotes for inspiring this.
I’ll help you with it!: Sydney Sage
Yeah, sure: Jill Dragomir
Bold of you to assume I did the homework: Trey Juarez (He did, but likes messing with you.), Adrian Ivashkov
LOL Nope: Eddie Casile,
Wait. We had homework?: Angeline Dawes

I got this idea from incorrect roman quotes, and decided it was too funny NOT to post.

Yeah, sure: Eddie Castile, Jill Mastrano
Bold of you to assume I did the homework: Mason Ashford
Um, no: Mia Rinaldi

sydney sage: im cold
adrian ivashkov: here take my jacket. actually take my soul and my heart and my lungs too and while you're at it want my skin as well? that help? love you
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.
You tell him Rose!
Jesse: whatever you say, slut
Rose: ouch, oooh, such an insult. Let me know when you come up with something creative to call me, you sack of poorly packaged horseshit
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?
I laughed at this more than I should.
Doctor: You literally have every STD
Antony: Gotta catch 'em all
Damn! This is both funny and accurate.
Can I Copy Your Homework?
Caesar: I'll help you with it!
Cassius: Yeah sure
Antony: Bold of you to assume I did the homework
Pompey: Lol nope
Brutus: Wait we had homework??
Octavian: *Read 5:55 PM*
Caligula was actually trying to introduce a video game console two thousand years early, but historians didn’t understand and thought he wanted to make his horse a consul.
How the men chronicling history saw them:
-catfight over Mark Antony, Fulvia pining after Antony until she died
How they really interacted:
Fulvia: That Octavian guy is a manipulative twerp, so don’t trust him. I’m praying to Fortuna and Minerva you kick his ass into next week. It’ll make dying in exile worth it.
Cleopatra: I’d be willing to do that for you. Don’t worry about Antyllus and Jullus. I’ll look after them.
Fulvia: Oh, and just as a warning. Marcus snores louder than a herd of elephants.
Mark Antony: I don’t snore!
Fulvia and Cleopatra: Yes, you do!
(c. 83 BCE-40 BCE) The first non-mythological woman to appear on Roman coins. She was married three times (Publius Clodius Pulcher, Gaius Scribonius Curio, Mark Antony) and actively involved in all her husband’s careers. She testified against the murderer of her first husband, and inherited several street gangs. She unsuccessfully plotted against Octavian in retaliation for divorcing her daughter Clodia. She was exiled to Greece and died. One of her sons by Mark Antony, Antyllus was executed after the Battle of Actium, while the other Jullus committed suicide after participating in a plot with Julia (the daughter of Augustus).
She’s not as well known, due to being overshadowed by both Livia Drusilla and Cleopatra (who was also involved with Mark Antony).
I’ve noticed that while gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are fairly common in plays nowadays, asexuals are nowhere to be found. Thus, I created Famine, devil may care hipster who nonetheless delivers a badass monologue (slightly edited for clarity) that hopefully reassures asexual people that they are valid.
“ Back when I was younger, it always confused the shit out of me as to why the thought of getting sexual with someone made me physically ill. I attempted to fix myself by going to various doctors, and drinking mysterious concoctions of medicines that supposedly increased sexual desire. Then one night, it occurred to me. Why the fuck was I wasting my time attempting to change a portion of myself just to please Society? So, I said screw it and let any person I was getting serious with relationship wise that sex wasn’t in the equation for me. It didn’t always work, mind you, but I finally was able to stop hating myself. Some people are going to be bigots regardless of how strenuously you attempt to educate them and there isn’t much you can do about it. But someone who truly loves you, will accept, and embrace the fact that you’re nonbinary the same way they’ll accept I happen to be a biromantic asexual.”
