intro post 🌟

🌟 Refael/Rafi - he/him - 24 y/o - ⚣

🌟 jewish - white + tunisian - antizionist, israeli, normal abt it

🌟 artist (i draw, print, knit, crochet, embroider, play music and write!)

🌟 classics/history/humanities undergrad

🌟 i speak hebrew and english, and im learning latin, ancient greek and italian

things to watch out for:

🌟 i talk about my romans. a lot 🌟 i have an original setting ("Lilușca", my tag for it is #story*) and i draw n post abt it a lot 🌟 other stories/ocs r tagged as #otherstories*🌟 i tag common triggers if the word isnt already written in the text post 🌟 id appreciate it if u tagged fish and deep sea for me! i filter both tags 🌟 feel free to ask me to tag stuff

🌟 there will be nsfw posts on this blog, but not full-on porn 🌟 i cant stop anyone from following, id rather know ur a minor than have u lie abt ur age, nevertheless id appreciate it if minors didnt interact w my nsfw posts 🌟 18+ only nsfw sideblog is @rawmenian

i will sometimes discuss difficult topics such as imperialism n sa humorously, but never dismissingly. if such jokes bother you, i suggest you unfollow.

🌟 i reblog fundraisers to @peasantexchangeprogram so they dont get lost 🌟

this is above all a place for me to escape and have fun. i rarely talk abt things that actually matter n often talk extensively abt things that r at the end of the day not that important. if u expect me to clearly n constantly voice my opinion on every single injustice in the world, uve come to the wrong place.

im like cicero - if u want me to shut up youll have to kill me

ive had SUCH a bad experience with the terms 'trigger' and 'trauma' being abused to belittle, silence and censor me that i cannot use them anymore at all even for personal experiences that actually do fit these definitions. trauma from the word trauma

saved a few pins with a romanish aesthetic so pinterest started recommending me lots of gladiator ii YOU ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ME

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha

[romehbo]

noooooo it didnt give me trauma it gave me intriguing, some might say sexy, brain problems 💖

[pompeiusliker]

whenever they make historical inaccuracies in some rome show it’s never cool awesome shit like they give the roman generals messy eyeliner it’s always some bullshit

[shranstan]

Reading any historical fiction and non-fiction set in I century B.C.E. and Cicero my friend Cicero is always there <3 #mycicero

Why is latin challenging but generally okay, but ancient greek out to kill me

bisexual knight: any knights at this tourney want to touch swords with me?

heterosexual knight: I wouldn’t have bothered saving that damsel from that dragon if I had known she was betrothed. Typical. 🙄

asexual knight: just braided my horsey’s mane, am now in search of apples for her.

gay knight: I must locate the Holy Grail. right now. I shan’t tarry, not even for m’lord, though I feel my heart may rend in two on our parting.

random things that are not similar at all but i keep mixing up for some reason: simone de bouvoir and madame de pompadour

[romehbo]

trying to pin everything wrong in the world on one specific ontologically evil group is so funny. i just saw a post that said 'there are no drag queens on the epstein list, only straight white men' idk about the drag queens but girl you know the second part of that sentence is factually untrue

[romehbo]

we should invest in history studies so wed know more abt more historical figures in order to make more elaborate n historically accurate rpf yaoi. thats the main reason i think.

[romehbo]

the weirdest part of academia for me is when im forced to confront a very difficult text that is also superrrrr intriguing. im not saying difficult as in the wording is difficult to understand i mean the subject itself makes you feel physically ill so youre just sitting there both interested and uncomfortable

[oeing-oeing-clay]

wow dude jts so awesome that your car is loud as fuck and smells worse when it drives past. thags fucking epic man. i really like how it hurts to listen to you drive past and it scares people. thats awesome man. i really like your car that makes a loud as fuck fart sound. fucking epic dude

[romehbo]
