when you think about it tho pliny the elder is kind of the funniest guy in the world like. he wrote all these books about natural history that he was wrong about where he confidently claims things like “some animals only have blood during certain parts of the year” and then when mt. vesuvius erupted and destroyed pompeii and herculaneum he said “oh mt vesuvius is exploding? let me go check it out” and then he died

10 years later, Starz is making more 'Spartacus'

It's time for more 'Spartacus'! 10 years after the original series concluded, Starz has announced they are developing a new show with origin

WHAT.

"The new show is set to pick up in the aftermath of the defeat of Spartacus' rebel army, and tell a new story of treachery, deceit, and blood unfolding beneath the foreboding shadow of Rome."

happy 2,102nd birthday to mark antony! the only reason we know his exact birth date two thousand years later is because after his death the senate officially cursed the day of his birth and we have calendar fragments saying january 14th is a Bad Day due to being antony’s birthday. and i think that’s beautiful

Look we have records of Medieval Knights crying out in their sleep, having emotional outbursts or flinching at the sound of clashing metal. We have records of people all through history who were treated badly by people who should have loved them, and having problems knowing who to trust. We have years worth of artists putting their human pain at broken hearts and broken promises into music that makes us cry.

Yes people have been traumatized by awful things for all of history and just like them You didn’t deserve to be hurt either.

People in GENERAL shouldn’t have to go through that. Seeing your best friend shot to death and seeing the light leave their eyes is HARROWING. People who come back from war usually need years of therapy to even begin to digest the stuff they saw and the continued perpetuation of this “hardened manly man” mentality is what is stopping people from getting the kind of help they need because they think they don’t need therapy.
