#gaius cassius longinus
The Romans and Friends as College Majors
Caesar: Political Science
Cleopatra: Medicine
Brutus: English
Cassius: Philosophy
Antony: Kinesiology (he’s a student athlete and got paid to be there)
Cicero: Law
Octavian: Psychology
Crassus: Business
Pompey: General Studies
Apart from Cleopatra, who would probably be double majoring in linguistics and history, these are largely accurate.
The Romans and Friends on Karaoke Nights
Caesar: Is the only one sober. Only sings bc the others beg him to. Does “All of Me” and is surprisingly good with the high notes
Pompey: Performs “Crocodile Rock.” Throws up into someone else’s hat that he thinks is his. Did not come in a hat.
Cleopatra: Nails “Hello”, has the others crying
Brutus: is very shy and only gets up to sing when he’s sufficiently inebriated and Cassius goads him into performing. Surprises everyone with how impeccably he sings Jeff Buckley’s cover of “Hallelujah”
Antony: Drunk off his ass, sings mostly hit classics like “Mr. Brightside”, “What’s my Age Again”, and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” bc he has a *type* for music and it’s all 2000s nostalgia
Octavia: Sings “Love Story” and “White Horse” by Taylor Swift while mildly tipsy, trips slightly on the stage but goes on singing
Cassius: Will only sing Fallout Boy. Gets really into his performance of “Centuries” but passes out afterwards and asks for more shots the moment he wakes up
Octavian: Sings “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish while making unnerving eye contact with Antony
Cicero: gets too drunk and throws up in bathroom without ever singing, cries about his divorce when Cleopatra sings “Hello”
These are hilarious!
