my erotic fanfiction is more historically accurate than yours. here it claims that shes moaning 'yes,' however classical latin didn't have a word that corresponds to Modern English 'yes,' i.e. an affirmative answer to an interrogative. You could have easily avoided this glaring implausibility by allowing her to moan plus, 'more'—as exemplified in my critically acclaimed fic with an unprecedented number of kudos (eleven). I recommend that you log out of AO3 and return only after acquiring satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter.

classical latin did in fact have an affirmative answer to an interrogative (sic), it's just not a cognate with modern english "yes" which is Germanic. but you probably recognize its modern descendants, spanish sí, italian sí, etc.

anyway how this is relevant to this post is that when Dido commits suicide in book 4 of the Aeneid she says "sic, sic! iuvat ire sub umbras" or "yes, yes! with joy i pass beneath the shadows" while stabbing herself, the allegory of penetration accompanied by shouts of ecstasy leading unto death being an interpretative exercise best left to the reader.

#teal on the dash blue on op's blog #I suspect some trickery there #the many shades of green people are reporting in the notes I think are screen settings causing variation

"Wedding customs were said to change, at first in Attolian temples and later in the Peninsula whole, after Attolia's wedding to the would-be Annux. Some speculate that is why, to this day, only brides carry candles and fresh flowers during wedding processions, not only to light the way forward, but perhaps because Attolia's own husband did not have two hands to hold his own, as bridegrooms were shown to in earlier depictions. Speculation on this topic has been widely spread, ever since the discovery of a portrait reportedly depicting Attolia's second wedding in a recent dig of the palace ruins in the capital."

Adopted a second evil advisor and I'm letting them sniff each other under the throne room doors before I introduce them

flower-in-a-horror-novel

Are they the same breed of evil or different? Because I've read that Scheming Poisoners and Warmongers don't get along very well, but Warmongers and Secret Theocrats surprisingly do.

wizardshark

Yeah I did some reading beforehand! So my first advisor was of the scheming poisoner variety. I was pretty satisfied with that, honestly, but we came across a young advisor abandoned on the road and we decided that it would be best to adopt it! The vet says it's a warmongering advisor and while the two breeds NORMALLY don't get along, positioning a poisoner as a defender of the peace and the warmonger as an upstart looking to disrupt everything got glory can get them both a LOT of enrichment once their schemes start interacting.

It takes a bit more work at the start and they definitely aren't getting along for now, but the enrichment is off the charts once they get used to each other!
