#marcus antonius
Local Latin teacher “woobifies” Octavian
~~~
Localis praeceptor Linguae Latinae Octavianum “miserandificat”
what qualifies as a “bad” omen?? asking for a friend
Antony: oh my God, they killed Caesar!
Cleopatra: You bastards!!
Sounds fairly accurate to how they responded in real life surprisingly.
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.
“i could fix him” “i could make him worse” well icome to bury caesar not to praise him. the evil that men do lives after them,
The beginning of a memorable speech..
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!
happy 2,102nd birthday to mark antony! the only reason we know his exact birth date two thousand years later is because after his death the senate officially cursed the day of his birth and we have calendar fragments saying january 14th is a Bad Day due to being antony’s birthday. and i think that’s beautiful
