_{cask of amontillado?}

that's literary, and also no, we need to go deeper.

I refuse to believe that Ross hasn't done that to somebody at some point. As far as the reference itself goes, I've got nothing.

_{he may have to do that to himself to avoid a repeat of Christmas 2016 while Ari is away.}

Ari's been compared to Tomyris, so this is a nod to that. The name "Sfaroghin" is loosely derived from the name of her son, Spargapises ("Sparga-" to "Sfaro-"). Tomyris, in revenge for Spargapises' capture by Cyrus and subsequent suicide, killed Cyrus by decapitating him and then to quote "shoved his head into a wineskin filled with human blood", saying "'I warned you that I would quench your thirst for blood, and so I shall,'" albeit apocryphally, as according to Wikipedia other sources attest that Cyrus' death was peaceful and in his sleep. No matter how true the story is, Tomyris is both far too badass to not make the reference and definitely someone that Ari would look up to as an inspirational figure if they were contemporaries. It's an appropriate comparison too, since I've called Ari "angry, younger Tomyris" at least once before now.

Based. Awesome. Wishing I'd paid attention in Ancient History now, ngl.

I just paid attention to the parts about Hammurabi.

That wouldn't have mattered. Teachers don't talk about based warrior women in Ancient History cless.

Yeah, I learned this entirely on my own, because I'm a fucking nerd

I've edited in Khensu's segment to my post.

[Brettenwald]

Done some stuff to Marco's factbook.

Khensu seems surprisingly okay with being the tol rol. _{or is the trauma and screaming going to come later on?}

[Bogi Smerti]

Godfuckingdamnit I need to finish the post, I'm getting behind significantly.

But it won't matter, right? Because no one is rushing me even though it's been weeks since I've been working on it. But I guess this isn't the fucking place to talk about it?

Ones and zeroes on an obscure corner of the internet, bud. None of this matters in the grand scheme of things and letting something this fucking inconsequential live rent-free in your head for weeks on end is really fucking bad for you.

he's currently rocking the "moderately irritated" vibe rn and I don't think that'll change for a bit. Might change when he gets to the party, but from the period he got shot with it to very recently he's been constantly glomped by Nate, which interferes with one's thought processes a little bit.

It takes a long time to learn the art of not giving a flying [REDACTED] about others' opinions of yourself, but it is a valuable life skill and one well worth learning. Just be the best you you can be and don't let the Wilhelms of the world drag you down with them.

[Kiu Ghesik]

i mean i was gonna agree wholeheartedly and say that ultimately the person who matters the most to you most at the end of the day is yourself, and you should treat that person as best you can, but bretten used the forbidden film and thus i am legally obligated to give him mildly disappointed silence in response.

Eh, I'm already a loser with a lack of a social life, so it wouldn't matter anyways. And to be honest, I've always felt slower, more or less insignificant to stuff I participate in, so it wouldn't matter much at all if I were to just "be myself".

[Kiu Ghesik]

nah, bogi, you cool. not every post needs to be essay length (says the one who can't make a post in another rp shorter than 3000 words...)
