Julius Caesar - Tumblr Posts
Guys I accidentally forgot my knife can I borrow one of yours :,(
I love tumblr we have exclusive holidays like Suez Canal Blockage Anniversary and the Assassination of One Julius Caesar its fantastic
I freaking hope so
i really wonder what Julius Caesar would think of a bunch of neurodivergent rats huddled in a circle chanting ides of march ides of march ides of march and then cheering loudly on the 2067th anniversary of his assassination?
like would he cry?
Ides of March...
Everyone: the best way to celebrate today is to stab someone.
Me: it's my dad's birthday...
When I read this in English class I remember thinking "wow dramatic much? Am I missing something?" as if this wasn't written by William "I won't bother checking if my lover is alive before I kms" Shakespeare
i've been reading julius caesar and i can't take the tent scene seriously at all it's like
brutus: hey maybe you shouldn't take bribes
cassius: oh i'm sorry i didn't realize you HATED ME. how dare you not think i'm a flawless human being?? why don't you just STAB ME THROUGH THE HEART it would probably hurt less
i like to think during Shakespeare time Crowley and Aziraphale discussed the inaccuracies of Caesar
*in the globe theatre watching Caesar*
Crowley: *whispering in Aziraphale’s ear* i thought it was 23 times?
Aziraphale: 33 is a better number. it’s what he deserves for burning alexandria’s library.
We're learning abt Rome in history class
I just had this random thought about the Noel’s lament trend and that we NEED a cover of the song but it’s the Brutus version
I can’t be the only one
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
Under D&D rules, a dagger does 1d4 base damage. The average human has a Strength score of 10, adding no bonuses. Several of them, due to the military background of many, likely had strength or dexterity scores of 11-14. But only two or three, and quite a few would be frail with old age, sinking to 8-9 strength. All in all, we can only add a total of +1 damage per round from Brutus.
An estimate of sixty men were involved in Caesar’s actual murder. Not the wider conspiracy, but the stabbing.
Julius Caesar was a general, which is generally depicted as a 10th level fighter. Considering his above baseline constitution and dex, weakened by his probable history of malaria, epilepsy, and/or strokes (-1 dex modifier), and lack of armor at the time of the event, he would likely have something along the lines of AC 9 and 60 HP. The senators would likely hit him roughly 55% the time.
So the Roman senate had a damage-per-round of 66, more than enough to kill Caesar in one round even without factoring in surprise round advantage.
Rereading Shakespeare and realizing your education system failed you because they didn’t care to teach you what the plays were actually about and their relevancy just focusing on passing a standardized test. You weren’t allowed to read between the lines and figure out characters because you could only view them the way they wanted you to view them. It’s such a cold-hearted way of reading any piece of literature. No wonder so many students grow up with a dislike for the subject you are given no freedom of thought just rote learning and suppression.
