benefits of studying classics
- have an excuse to never wear pants, as only barbarians wear them
- can drink whenever you want and say you’re making an offering to dionysus
- if you don’t want to get out of bed you can claim that the omens are bad and you have to stay inside lest the gods strike you down
- everything in the classical world is extremely gay so if you’re gay you already have tons of prime flirting material
- every party can be a toga party when you’re around
- if you ever get stopped by a street preacher you can just say something in latin or greek and pretend you’re possessed

apparently ravens are associated with death and prophecy because they’re very intelligent birds and back in the day they learned p quick that large groups of men marching meant imminent corpses to feed on so they would follow armies and i think that’s v metal

One of the perks of getting older is getting to have a say in the family gossip
if someone made me a playlist and said smth along the lines “this is for you” or “these songs reminds me of you” i would literally combust

*gets kicked out of latin class for calling my attempt to get my classmates to form a testudo and invade french classes while screaming about barbaric gauls a “field trip”*

enemies-to-friends/lovers relationships fuel my life force. like. give me two people who experienced enough personal growth to change their perspectives and set their pride aside to understand one another. give me a hard-won companionship made rock solid from experiencing each other at their best and worst, give me two people who went through to hell together and came out the other side with forgiveness and humility. just kill me dude

Can’t believe the incredibles are coming back to show the avengers and justice league how it’s done
learning modern languages is overrated. learn a dead language so you can speak to the dead

sometimes i think that classicists are unfairly assumed to be pretentious but today one of my classmates in greek said that he stopped talking to a girl on a dating app because she called the mediterranean sea an ocean and i’m like, alright, maybe people have a point
other things i have to admit that classicists do:
- pretty much every latinist i know has physically cringed at non-latinists pronouncing latin at some point in their life
- i was at a conference with a bunch of latin teachers this weekend and they spent 20 minutes complaining about percy jackson
- every classicist whose room or office i’ve ever been in (including my own) has had at least two busts in it
- classicists have national meetups that inevitably result in having a roman banquet, sometimes where they only speak in latin
- every classicist, whether they admit it or not, has thought about going to athens or rome and reciting some greek or latin OR has thought about participating in bacchic rituals
- watch a classics-related movie with any classicist and within 5 minutes they’ll be complaining about what’s wrong (even if they’re in a movie theater) (yes, i’ve done this too. i’m not proud) (well, maybe a little bit proud)
- people who study ancient languages definitely have a “we’re not like OTHER languages complex” and i swear to god i’ve actually heard those words from classicists’ mouths
