Pretty pictures and so forth.

I'm absolutely obsessed with King Eteocles' band of very brave knights in the Roman de Thèbes, featuring (quotes from John Cole translation [1986], lines 6596-6656):

  • Salaciel (Jewish, riding a gray horse given to Eteocles by pirates blown off course to Thebes, a city that definitely is on the seacoast)
  • Diogenes (Duke of Syria, riding an extremely valuable "dark iron-gray" horse captured from the Saracens)
  • Teucer ("poor hairy one/ who was very much of a knight")
  • Hermagorus (from Salemine [= Salem or Jerusalem]; horse is as white as ermine and has a vermillion silk cover)
  • Petreus (Count of Marseille; has a "wonderfully pretty horse")
  • Agrippa (Count of Sezile [=Sicily]; "in the city for brave adventures"; horse is the father of Bucephalus [yes that one])
  • Polydorus (of Caesarea; has a racing camel covered in dark purple silk)
  • Nestor (has a "swift and fine horse")
  • Carios (Duke of Corinth; rides a "gray of Slavonia")
  • Goodrich (English; very rich; horse named "Arundel of Lincoln")

i have decided that to simplify my life and make everyone else's worse i am going to combine american and british spellings. for example:

•centere

•programmme

•graey

•apflatment

Romeo + Juliet (1996) Trivia: Shakespeare described Tybalt swordsmanship as “showy”. To transform this into flamboyant gunplay, John Leguizamo worked with choreographer John ‘Cha Cha’ O'Connell to create a flamenco-inspired style.

This is the new gender John Leguizamo invented that one time in case anyone was curious

oh to be an ambiguously gendered little personification of winter in a roman mosaic

originally had much bigger plans for what to do with it, but then sadly lost the drive to move forward, so I salvaged what I had and made two littel gifs at least. - would have been a nice little project to test sideview in Pixel Game Maker - so people could actually be an ‘ambiguously gendered little personification of winter in a roman mosaic’ - roman mosaic level design - optional little bunny friend (*squints* I think that’s a bunny or rabbit they’re holding) would anyone even want that? if there’s some interest I could try …

A painted terracotta figurine of a barber cutting a man's hair, made in Boeotia, Greece, ca. 500 BCE. Greek men would regularly visit the barber -- known as a cureus -- in the agora, or central marketplace, of Greek towns to get their hair and beards trimmed.

very excited about this new medical option where we swallow a vibrator

i regret to inform you all that i did the research so you dont have to, and its exactly what you think. it's a machine. its got an app. you can monitor the pill, in your body, through the app.

you raise such a good question

what is endgame for the vore vibrators

y'all, literly nothing on this website will tell me what is in the capsule or what happens to the capsule when it comes out the other end, but I have learned that it takes 3 weeks of treatment to see significant results and also that you have to place the capsule in an "activation pod" before you swallow it

and yes there is an app

I found a pdf they provide for physicians and I am currently making my way through it

current fun facts:

-the Pod has a usb charger and a wall adapter

-do not MRI this capsule, dear god

-do not bite the capsule

-if a child swallows a capsule they need to go to the hospital

more fun facts from the dosing instructions

there are no directions for what to do at the end of the line so I am assuming the mystery capsule (that should not be allowed around pacemakers) gets flushed

it does say to see a doctor if you think it has not been excreted "within 2 weeks"

ps I assume this is standardized language, but I LOVE the idea that the vore vibrator might accidentally interfere with TV and radio

...NOPE. :/

i just think it's neat that odysseus gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to avoid going to war and he can't do it and then agamemnon gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to go to war and he does it

my toxic trait is assuming everyone knows the w in transliterations is egyptologically pronounced -u/-oo, and therefore consistently forgetting to romanise the spelling of ancient egyptian words containing it when i make shitposts or stupid references in my stories
