Catullus 101

Multās per gentēs et multa per aequora vectus

adveniō hās miserās, frāter, ad īnferiās,

ut tē postrēmō dōnārem mūnere mortis

et mūtam nēquīquam alloquerer cinerem

quandoquidem fortūna mihī tētē abstulit ipsum

heu miser indignē frāter adēmpte mihī

nunc tamen intereā haec, prīscō quae mōre parentum

trādita sunt trīstī mūnere ad īnferiās,

accipe frāternō multum mānantia flētū.

Atque in perpetuum, frāter, avē atque valē.

ೃ⁀➷ hiii hi here’s just a random question form ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

: ̗̀➛ what’s ur fav color: black, and all shades of green.

: ̗̀➛ how long have u been on tumblr for: 2024...

: ̗̀➛ wheres a place u always wanted to travel to: I want to see Prague, but I enjoy exploring any city.

: ̗̀➛ what’s ur fav clothing brand(s): I don't really have one? If I could make my own medieval dresses, I would.

: ̗̀➛ what’s ur fav singer/band(s): I like Hozier, Cosmo Sheldrake, Aurora (let me be a hermit please), but I've also been listening to Portishead, Pink Floyd, Massive Attack and Agnes Obel as of late

: ̗̀➛ what’s ur current phone lockscreen: a rotation of my favourite artworks, and my siblings

: ̗̀➛ most recent/current hyperfixation: Hannibal 🫣, anything Hugh Dancy (Law and Order oops) and medieval art (always. always.)

: ̗̀➛ what’s ur relationship status: single / possessed by my research

: ̗̀➛ what’s ur dream job: Hermit. And art historian, which is more likely. In a past life, I'm pretty sure I was also: a depressed painter, a crazy fortune teller, a court jester (sad), a gossipy socialite (happy), and someone who actually finished writing their fics (which is unfortunately harder in this life).

: ̗̀➛ outside of tumblr, fav social app: no.

: ̗̀➛ do u have pets: I like to look at pictures of cat forlornly, waiting for a bigger apartment.

: ̗̀➛ if u do have pets, what kind/how many: one (1) art print of a cat. He's getting lonely, I should get another one.

: ̗̀➛ do u prefer tea or coffee: caffein doesn't do anything to my brain, so tea for the aesthetic (grandmacore).

: ̗̀➛ whats ur fav ice cream flavor: anything citrus, or the weirder the better (I see you, basil and flowers combinations).

I tag : I don't have anyone to tag just yet 🥲 but you are very much welcome to join, it was fun !
