JULIUS CAESAR

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

Dale Horvath in...The Last of Us. 💀 bro got transported to the SAME SHIT as the prior world lmaoooo. Unfair💀

This person clearly doesn’t belong here. From Ask Historians on Reddit.

@ardenrosegarden is right, the JC fandom started in 2014! I should know too, I was there.

"Violent crazy people" and "I need help please!" overreaction is SENDING me over the edge lmaoooo💀

guys holy shit i think that gay couple just killed the dictator of rome

Young Brutus and Cassius. Inspired by a fan fiction I’ll probably never finish but I’m TRYING!!!

What's my favorite holiday? Oh, the Ides of March. I never forget to leave out cookies and a knife and a knife and a knife and a knife and a knife and a knife and a kn-

Me, reblogging ides of march stuff after the 15th : Ides of march is a state of mind.

Et tu brute?

sorry I was napping. heres an abstraction study I did for ides

I don't know yall....feel kinda bad finding out Julius wasn't really a bad ruler (and actually helped common people and his soldiers etc.). They killed that man just from fear (that his current status undermine republic ideals) and power...and we've been celebrating his death?? IM SORRRYYYYY JULIE. I LOVE YOUR SALADS THO 😭😭

He wasn't though😅 looking further into history, the man was a liar and a mess. He committed genocide against other groups of people not to mention threw his own country into a full-blown civil war in order to take out his last checks and balances, layed seige to Rome, chased any senator not explicitly with him out of the city for fear of retaliation. He treated his wife Calpurnia like shit by at the very least- sleeping around with 2 other high profile women with NO regard to her reputation or feelings, not to mention his last "heir" produced wasn't even with her. He was an asshole parading as a man of the people, like almost every politician is wont to do. Lauding him as justified and good is dangerous, as much as defending every motive of individual Conspirators/Liberators is. The situation was far more grey than people seem to think on the side of Caesar appreciation/borderline worship. He hid his bids for power and his greed underneath his populist façade. Whether he used to believe in the cause is irrelevant. He knowingly led countless Romans to their deaths in, once again, a completely avoidable civil war. You know...the people he bragged about loving. The man was as corrupt as any politician nowadays, and fully intended to take the dictatorship so long as it suited him. Many of the Conspirators/Liberators would have had ulterior motives, that much is predictable because humanity hasn't changed at all, but that doesn't mean they killed him out of simple unjustified fear. He was gladly leading them towards an empire where checks and balances were weakened and he eroded democracy just as much as the senators who were motivated by greed and power. His actions were deplorable outside and inside of Rome, and to ignore that in favor of his so called populism is exactly why politicians have never seen it necessary to change their tactics. It's always for "the people" until they get in the way.

And this is all badly and VERY abbreviated off the top of my head. I'm sure many historians here could tell you far more than I, if you were interested.

Btw this isn't a dig and I'm not aggressive haha, I just don't want anyone to be persuaded that the man was anything less than a cruel, unmerciful general towards other nations- and façade of the man he was inside. Not all historical records are trustworthy, as many were written by the oppressors and the winning side in the minds of the Roman republic and later the empire. He deserves no glory. His hands were stained in blood.

Oh THANK you so much for the correction, I didn't mean any harm, it's just my feed was getting a lot of similar viewpoints so I was assuming it was the norm.😅

If anything, I'll take this as both a lesson and wake-up call on how susceptible algorithms/rabbit-holes of information can make me to certain things. I swear I'll be more careful and do more research before make such harmful/ignorant statements. Once again, you didn't have to take the time to correct me and give provide evidence and such to negate what I said, and you did. Thank you!!❤️❤️

Oh literally ALL good!! It's a black and white take on history that goes around every year, so you don't need to be too ashamed. I'm glad you appreciated hearing my thoughts, and like I said, don't be too harsh on yourself. I think your idea to take this to learn and grow is admirable!

I think a good way to judge Caesar now is to look into history, but also inspect his most loyal fans/worshippers. Many of them (not really on here, but other places) are very... naively eurocentric at best, and racist and sexist at worst. They'll lick his boots because he makes them think their causes are just like him "crossing the rubicon". M.A.G.A dumbasses were literally using that phrase leading up to and after the capital situation on the 6th, and have attempted to direct power onto OrAnGe mAN (don't wanna get issues just incase) and they've gone so far to use Latin phrases alluding to Caesars attempted dictatorship. They admire how he destroyed the state. So sometimes you have to watch out for them too. Anyways that was a bit of a tangent, but you can tend to tell the true merit of someone by looking at who idolizes them now. NOT ALWAYS. But the connections are definitely there. Corruption is corruption, and racism and xenophobia are the same too in many facets, no matter the era.

Thank you for listening! I'm definitely not the end all be all! But I wanted to share♡
