Et Tu, Brute?

It's all in the life of a crazed Classics major and fashion designer. - - - - CASSIA LONGINA DESIGNS - - - - -

The result is an expression of … a barely suppressed nervous agitation in [the portrait of] the probable Cassius.

BIG FUCKING MOOD.

Cassius for the meme?

Headcanon A:  realistic - he’s bipolar. The recent RSC version convinced me.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious: he’s a total lightweight and even Lucius could drink him under the table

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends: he’s in love with Brutus (obviously) but never got around to confess because he thinks it’s one-sided and also he loves and respects Portia and would never want to take her husband.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own: they win the battle, and once the Republic is back to normal and they had their terms as consuls, they retire to someplace nice and quiet, maybe Sicily, and live peacefully to old age, as Cassius wished.

How to Be a Good Classicist Under a Bad Emperor

A specter is haunting the Internet — the specter of the “alt-right.”

“The same texts that are for us sources of beauty and brutality, subjects of commentary and critique, are for these men (and they really are almost exclusively men) proof of the intellectual and cultural superiority of white maleness.

The Alt-Right is hungry to learn more about the ancient world. It believes that the classics are integral to education. It is utterly convinced that classical antiquity is relevant to the world we live in today, a comfort to classicists who have spent decades worrying that the field may be sliding into irrelevance in the eyes of the public.”

Worth a read, folks.

Confused Cassius?

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~) 🌈🌈

Oh boy...

1. I’m pretty good with Roman history 

2. My eyes

3. I get along with people pretty well

4. I can eat an entire pizza by myself 

5. I am loyal - even if it’s to a fault.
