So I Wrote A Drabble About A Caesar/vercingetorix Dynamic And Decided To Draw Some Illustrations. I Got

so i wrote a drabble about a caesar/vercingetorix dynamic and decided to draw some illustrations. i got inspiration from my favorite representation of julius caesar in Uli Edel's 2002 movie with Jeremy Sisto

Sisto's acting is perfect, he conveys so much with his eyes alone and his gaze transforms along with character's transformation. also i adore his little wrinkles and skin texture, which starts showing in Gaul, indicating his age and experience

also i admire vercingetorix who is shown as a very brave, valorous, and humble man. the famous scene of his capitulation is heartbreaking. he makes himself so vulnerable in front of caesar to ask mercy for his people 😭

endlessly fascinated. i think i'll be drawing caesar some more

i have officially self-actualized as the great gatsby, now i'm on my way to be shot in the chest and drown in a pool, hope some friend will be homoerotically haunted by the metaphor i represented and he will write a memoirs

i created a meme about how edward tolman broke up with physics after reading william james' "principles of psychology"

i took einstein's image from that photo of him standing next to edward's brother (richard tolman who actually became a physicist) and looking hilariously confused

unfortunately our professor was in a rush and kinda shamed me for the delay i made to let everyone appreciate the meme

my brain every time i practise the lymphatic massage
