Could you show us what Phaedra looks like in game? ❤️
I sure can!! I don’t have a ton of screenshots bc I always forget to take them, so here is my entire collection:
For anyone who’s curious, this is the mod I used for her face (bc I wasn’t satisfied with the ONE East Asian face option elves had in the base game) 😁 It’s the only mod I have installed, and I suspect it’s still causing me problems lol
Cool design for her!
I love a lot of things about this design, but I especially feel like that the last image looks like someone refusing to back down after getting caught with someone else's wife.
my knight girl lucia!!
Dashing design!
The provinces Noricum, Raetia, and Dacia served as a buffer protecting Roman Empire against any possible outside threat. However, the region posed several internal problems for Rome: Pannonia and its ally Dalmatia rebelled against Roman occupancy, causing a three-year war, and Moesia was invaded by the Dacians during the reigns of both Domitian (r. 81-96 CE) and Trajan (r. 98-117 CE).
Lastly, during the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE, the region was repeatedly invaded by the Goths, Alemanni, and Marcomanni. While Noricum, Raetia, and Dacia provided a buffer between Rome and the Germanic tribes to the north, in time, they succumbed to the invaders they were supposed to keep out.
The Province of Noricum
Located in the eastern Alps between Raetia and Pannonia, its ideal location south of the Danube and rich deposits of iron ore and gold made Noricum a valuable asset to the coffers of the Roman Empire. The discovery of gold in the 2nd century BCE had drawn Roman settlers into the region only to be quickly expelled by the native Taurisci. However, Roman merchants continued to conduct business through small trading settlements. Always viewed as an ally, the region was finally conquered in 16 BCE during the reign of Roman emperor Augustus (r. 27 BCE to 14 CE). However, unlike other provinces, it did not receive a legion of its own – Legio Italica II – until the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180 CE). The province was later divided into two – Noricum Ripensis and Noricum Mediterranean – by Diocletian (284-305 CE). It was invaded by northern Germanic tribes and abandoned in the 5th century CE.
Reblogging for later...
I still love that checklist.
"Therefore, the references to Thyra on both groups of stones likely refer to the same person – the Danish Queen and mother of Harald Bluetooth. This indicates that she was a particularly powerful and celebrated individual. It is likely that she held land and authority in her own right, not only through her husband. “No other Viking man or woman in Denmark has been mentioned on that many runestones,” says Dr Imer, “and it underlines her undeniable importance for the assembling of the realm under the rule of her son, Harald Bluetooth.”
Importantly, this means that women likely had more influence in Viking-Age Denmark than previously believed. It indicates that Viking women may have been able to hold power in their own right and rule on behalf of their husbands or under-age sons. It also has important implications for our knowledge on the formation of the Danish state. The authors conclude:
If we accept that runestones were granite manifestations of status, lineage and power, we may suggest that Thyra was indeed of royal, Jutlandic descent. Both Gorm and Harald refer to her in the runestone texts and Ravnunge-Tue describes her as his dróttning, that is, ‘lady’ or ‘queen’. Combined with the designation of Thyra as Danmarkaʀ bót, ‘Denmark’s strength/salvation’, these honours point towards a powerful woman who held status, land and authority in her own right. The combination of the present analyses and the geographical distribution of the runestones indicates that Thyra was one of the key figures—or even the key figure—for the assembling of the Danish realm, in which she herself may have played an active part.""

So dang cute! If any of my readers haven't checked out their amazing comic, you should!
“Ryn, I’m sorry the last time I saw you… I should’ve stayed. I’m always trying to outrun my feelings. Like if I don’t say it outloud, maybe there’s still a place to hide. But I don’t want to hide from you anymore. “All my life, I’ve lived in a world that told me that I’m not good enough. That I’m not good enough for *you*. I’ve always fought so hard to be perfect–to prove to people that I wasn’t beneath them, but… would I have fought like that if I didn’t kind of believe them? “But I’m done letting other people tell me who I can be! "Ryn Hastings, you bring light to my life. You’re wonderful, generous, kind, and *funny*. I wouldn’t be who I am today, without you. *I love you, Ryn*. "I’m sorry for the mistakes I’ve made. I’m probably going to make more. But I try to be the best at everything I do–and that includes being the best girlfriend in the world! So what do you say…? Will you be my girlfriend?”

Very dashing design, Molly!
So I'm rewatching episodes of Batman: the Animated Series while riding my stationary. My brothers and I watched the crap out of the series in high-school, but four episodes in I've already found two episodes I don't remember seeing. Also, half are about the Joker (but it's Mark Hamill's Joker). But what's been interesting is that while it gave origin stories for Man-bat and Scarecrow in episodes 1 and 3, eps 2 and 4 have Joker and Batman already at it like a homicidal Bugs Bunny and competent Elmer Fudd.
Huh, so episodes 10 & 11 were the Two-Face two-parter? I thought I remembered them giving Harvey a lot more screen-time and character development than that before they did the Two-Face arc...
Sertorious, Lucullus, Ventidius, Sex. Pompey and Tiberius enter an underrappreciated roman generals competition. Who wins best general? (And why isn't it Tiberius so he can forever keep being the guy nobody appreciated)
What counts as "underrated" here?
There's a few of these I can see arguments for, but ultimately I think I'm glad Lucullus won it and I'm okay with Sextus taking second.

read something recently that said a majority of people don’t have a wall clock these days, thought it was interesting since I’ve always considered it an essential and functional piece of home decor.
I don't, but maybe I should, now that you mention it...
worst group of roman senators to go on a roadtrip together?
Get in losers we're starting a civil war in a van
Driver: Mark Antony, who is incredibly drunk.
Shotgun: Sallust, the rat bastard historian who spends the whole time trying to video the shenanigans happening in the back.
Row 2:
Row 3:
Row 4:
Strapped to the roof: Tiberius Claudius Nero, father of the future emperor Tiberius, whom nobody wanted here but they couldn't find a good excuse to leave him at home.
The one they meant to pick up but forgot about: Lepidus.
I give it 30 minutes before the van is on fire.
Going to be laughing about this the rest of the day!
