Hey it’s done. I did have a little ficlet my husband wrote to go along with it, but the imagery he wrote was… pretty different (but still beautiful), so I’m actually just going to do a separate fan art piece to go with THAT, and just let THIS one stand on it’s own.

I would’ve done my own little ficlet to go along, but every time I tried to start writing something, it just… wasn’t good enough. So, we’ll just… leave it on it’s own and let everyone enjoy it as they will with their own stories.

(Also it will be a print, but I am stone cold BROKE and can’t make any print orders right now. But later on FOR SURE.)

It’s everything I’ve ever wanted from a Pacific Rim fan art

The logical conclusion after finishing one big piece is to go and make an EVEN BIGGER piece. Right? Maybe? Newt is apparently my muse now.

File size is currently 14”x95” inches and that will probably change once Photoshop figures out it HATES ME. (And what’s posted here isn’t even the entire image.)

At the time of posting, I’m currently Livestreaming this one (and up for taking Pacific Rim related sketch requests!).

YEAH BUT CALIGULA WAS FUCKIN INSANE

And not in a good way. He was literally insane, and he was an absolute tyrant. He’s my favourite Roman emperor, just because he’s so interesting

  • His father was a military hero, and he spent the first few years of his life on an army camp, where he paraded around wearing this mini-military uniform his mother made (which is where he got his name- “Caligula” meaning “little boot”). The soldiers basically worshipped him.
  • As a teenager, he was called before Tiberius (who was a complete tyrant in his own right, and supposedly killed members of Caligula’s family) on the island of Capri, where he was forcibly adopted and as a result of how well he was treated he supposedly developed Stockholm Syndrome (though this is subject to debate). He held an undying hatred for Tiberius but was forced to show respect, so took out his anger on others and enjoyed watching executions and torture, and frequently indulged in orgies
  • TIBERIUS THOUGHT HE WAS MAD. TIBERIUS.
  • He gains absolute power of the Roman Empire at the 24- spent the last 5 years watching Tiberius murder, rape, and torture innocents for his own pleasure. So it’s fair to say he’s pretty messed up. He starts off by obliterating unpopular tax and literally giving away money- thus winning the adoration of the citizens. Then, seemingly overnight, he becomes a vicious, bloodthirsty psychopath.
  • Early in his reign, he fell ill and spent a considerably period of time on the verge of death. Following most of his recovery, he still suffered major headaches and sometimes wandered round his palace in the dead of night, and started cross-dressing
  • During his illness, one man offered his life in exchange for Caligula’s recovery. When he recovered, Caligula sought out this man and had him sacrificed.
  • He called banquets, raped the female guests, then brought them back to the table to discuss the rape with the other guests
  • HE DECLARED WAR ON THE GODS. Hence why he had the army fight Poseidon.
  • He would make parents watch the executions of their children
  • He held dinner parties for highly-regarded Roman citizens, during which he would order the executions of criminals between courses and- while his guests were dining- he would rape their wives in the room next door
  • He appointed a horse as a consul. I’ll say that again. HE NAMED A HORSE A CONSUL. He had said horse attended to by 18 servants and fed it oats mixed with gold flakes
  • He names himself a living God
  • He his reign lasted four years, before he was stabbed to death. He did all that in four years.

I’M SORRY I JUST REALLY LOVE ROMAN HISTORY OK

Also when he would throw house parties he would hide wild animal like lions in random rooms and made people tour his house by themselves and they would be eaten if they opened the wrong door

(just so you know I did a huge project about him in history)
