Found a new brush. Enjoying owls as amorphous blobs of shadow tonight.
Happy Ides of March!
just-late-roman-republic-things:
Why are YOU stabbing Caesar?
Mistook him for a salad
He owes me 20 sesterces
Truth or Dare game gone horribly wrong
I thought candy would come out
Pontius Aquila said I could
He keeps flirting with my mom
Needed somewhere to store my dagger
To make that cute quaestor notice me
He just ran into my knife, ten times
Needed to get my cardio in today
Wait, this is a knife? SHIT
Misunderstood how life insurance works

My theory about why we so enthusiastically celebrate the Ides of March here on this tumblr dot com is thus:
- This site is full of literary and history nerds.
- This site loves to be morbid as fuck.
- This site is full of people who are very displeased with current politics and would like to achieve a certain catharsis.
That last one I think is the most important, because I remember the days when celebrating the stabbing of Caesar was just nerd shit, but it picked up more and more steam over the years, and I noticed a sudden massive boom in enthusiasm beginning in 2021, undoubtedly on account of the everything that has happened in the past few years.
pulling this one out for the tumblr people
THE IDES ARE ALMOST UPON US
[ID: a Spongebob meme. Squidward says “The Ides of March isn’t even a holiday! Who would celebrate it anyways?” Patrick, as tumblr, wakes up beside a framed photo of Caesar being stabbed and says “Oh Boy! The Ides of March!” End ID]
Boys night on the 15th of March, in the senate! so excited so hang out with the boys, heard theres cake, hope someone brought a knife.
why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain
no one tell him
🗡️
(in case you need a knife in the next two days for reasons unrelated to political assassinations)
