say what you will about free speech in the modern US, at least we don't tend to beat comedians to death while they're on stage

his flesh dissolved into WORMS?????????

'hostis' going from a word used to mean foreigner/enemy to being used by Romans against other Romans during the civil war period is such an ironic bit of symbolism

wondering if panem in the hunger games came from panem et circenses

really like the detail that ancient romans also were out in the streets shaking hands and canvassing voters

Hannibal (Carthage) mention!

"In a systemic way that was then unparalleled, they made it possible not just to become Roman but also to be a citizen of two place at once: one's hometown and Rome." Seeing stuff similar to modern nation-building in like 200 BC is so crazy.

Making the people you conquer serve in your army, which makes them invested in the profits of victory so that eventually they just become part of your nation... wild that this just. worked.

Really intrigued by the idea of patrician-only footwear.

when and how did lestat acquire a lawyer

'the 80s is when women finally became as strong and interesting as men.' thanks lestat.

crying at the image of a leather-clad biker vampire with his "Sony Walkman stereo" just blasting bach in his headphones

"Right now I am what America calls a Rock Superstar" <- normal guy who is definitely not 200 years old

starting off strong with an incredibly wattpad-esque into paragraph

not a single self-preservation instinct to be found in this man

even after lestat kills their daughter louis still can't hate him..... classic

"Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other." louis and armand you'll always be famous!!!

oh so armand likes to keep around a young guy who gets off on being bitten by a vampire. im sure that won't be relevant later

omg armand <3<3

"I wanted to forget him, and yet it seemed I thought of him always. It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him." UGH. OKAY. WHATEVER.

remembering how i was so icked out by the vague incest/pedo implications in this book.... little did i know what was waiting for me in lestat and armand's books...

LOUIS WAS BORN IN FRANCE? no wonder he's so messed up....

maybe not a good idea to ask "is this some kind of joke?" after a man just told you he's a vampire and he's killed hundreds of people

louis: idk if we're compatible lestat, i think i should i leave
lestat: im pregnant and its yours

ms rice WHY did you name two characters in your story daniel

daniel calling louis beautiful and then getting flustered. oh im sure
