Consul Julius Scaeva for @villainsmatter! Hope I managed to capture his aesthetic

#look upon this beauty #no but really #look at it #Julius Scaeva

resurrecting this blog just to shamefully promote a fic I’ve written. anyway if you want a very biased scaeva character study. it’s here

#nevernight #julius scaeva #I still love the man I just don’t like kristoff as a person and as an author so the account is gonna stay mostly inactive #you can follow me at my main @girlcaligula for occasional nevernightposting #under the tags of either ‘[redacted]’ or ‘scu’

The ultimate list of good and completely objective reasons why Scaeva should have gotten his crown:

He’s my favorite character, which means he’s automatically the best character in the whole thing and that he deserved the best

He’s hot and a crown would have looked very pretty on him. Also, they would have probably built him statues, and the statues would have looked hot too

He clearly worked really hard for it! We appreciate hard work and think it should pay off!

He was pretty considerate after all. He only killed his political opponents and their families. I think that was neat of him.

Honestly could someone else have done better than him? Like, the Republic was definitely pretty corrupt and nothing was really working, I doubt things would have worsened had he become the emperor as he wanted. And he would have had a lot of fun!

He had a very good aesthetic that would have matched a throne really well

The fact he endured a God’s power through mere willpower would be enough tbh. No one else in the whole trilogy was able to do that. End of discussion.

Did I already say that he was hot? Because he really was

Honestly Itreyan democracy was already very much not working I don’t think Scaeva would have worsened things that much. He deserved a chance at least :(

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #julius scaeva #senatum populiis #yeah folks I’m BACK #I’m currently reading a biography on Julius Caesar and I once again have THOTS

Scaeva and Alinne were just trying to outgaslight outgatekeep and outgirlboss each other :/

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #julius scaeva #alinne corvere #senatum populiis #hey!!! this blog’s not dead I promise!!! it’s just that the fandom kind of lacks content :/

Mia Corvere commission for the lovely @witchlingsart who won my 2k giveaway a while back! It took me a minute to get to drawing this piece up and I thank her for her patience! I have learned a lot about Mia over the time of starting this and I adore her! 😍 I can’t wait to get deeper into the series and let my soul be robbed by her!

Darius and Liviana, pre-Nevernight, every time Scaeva and Alinne pretend in public that they cannot stand each other:

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #julius scaeva #alinne corvere #senatum populiis #‘the husband of the woman my husband sleeps with is my friend ig’

Scaeva: *appears on page*

Every character who’s also on page, with no exception:

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #julius scaeva #senatum populiis #this is also me btw #I too would start crying

“But how is it possible for no one to have understood Scaeva was trying to claim absolute power?” Itreyans lived in a city called Godsgrave, daily saw a place made of bones called ‘The Ribs’ and never connected the two fucking dots. I think it’s not too far-fetched.

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #senatum populiis #or if they connected them well they didn’t ask themselves questions so like. that’s even worse

listen i KNOW Kristoff didn’t think this through because he doesn’t even know Latin properly, let alone Roman law, but one of the most interesting things I’ve noticed is that Mia said that being darkin could get you crucified. Now, since Itreya, especially politically speaking, is inspired by the Roman Republic, it’s worth noticing that Roman citizens could NOT get crucified, because It was considered a HUGE humiliation and far too atrocious for a Roman citizen to endure. Only non-Romans and slaves could get crucified. This brings... an interesting perspective, to say the least, to how darkin were considered, right?

#Nevernight #The Nevernight Chronicle #like i said i'm sure kristoff didn't intend to imply this because he didn't seem an expert in roman law but still #interesting even if just a coincidence #senatum populiis

I like the idea of each passenger being protective and somehow jealous of everyone else their darkin interacts with/cares about. I mean apart from Eclipse (who had just lost Cassius and was greiving) neither Mister Kindly nor Whisper seem to care at all for people who aren’t Mia or Scaeva, even if the other person in question is darkin.

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #julius scaeva #mia corvere #lord Cassius #whisper #eclipse #mister kindly #I mean. mister kindly cared for Jonnen indirectly because he cared for Mia (I’d say same thing with Whisper)#but we’re never shown them autonomously caring for other people outside their own darkin #and mister kindly wasn’t exactly happy about having to share Mia with Eclipse at first #idk. I guess after sharing so much together you develop a bond that’s not... exactly the healthiest?#senatum populiis

So. Piera Forde officially announced that we WILL get more Nevernight on-screen and that it won’t be a web-series. Currently freaking out rn.

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #she said she cannot talk about it rn because it’s a work in progress thing but #it’s in her last video btw if you want to hear it from her (like the first... 50 seconds of it)#BUT #i fucking hope it’s a tv series

If I thought about a Nevernight event of some sort to live up the fandom a bit (since it’s dead), would anyone be interested in it?👀

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #it would be after I finish my uni exams so in mid-late January/February and I don’t really have many ideas for now #I just want more content lol

The comedic potential in 8-year-old Mia having a nightmare, waking up and running into her parents bedroom just to discover that 1) her mother is not there (I wonder where she is *wink wink*) 2) Antonius is apparently sharing the bed with her father

I also have the impression that if coffee were a thing in Nevernight Scaeva would consume a worryingly high quantity of it. He just gives me that vibe

#nevernight #the nevernight chronicle #julius scaeva #senatum populiis #super dark coffee with not even a grain of sugar in it

The comedic implications of none of the noblemen knowing Scaeva and Alinne were a thing vs the comedic implications of every single one of them knowing and pretending not to
