Brilliant! It's even funnier because "Magnus" was a sarcastic cognomen used by Pompey's elders to demean him

Obi Wan Kenobi x Reader

Summary: Obi Wan finds out you have been hiding a secret from him for a few years.

Word count: 1.5k

You did not know how long it had been since you were in the Jedi Temple. About 5 years or so. You did not wish to return and yet here you were. The famed Jedi Master, who had been cast out, was now back.

You sighed as you walked through the halls, ignoring the looks you got. No one questioned you, they knew you had been asked to come back. But you refused. After you were cast out, you moved to a far off planet. A peaceful one and settled down. A year later, a knock came to your door.

Opening it, you found your old master there. “Kit” you greeted the man who smiled back at you. Looking behind him to see Windu and Master Yoda. You sighed and opened the door. Walking away from it, there was no point in inviting them in. They would come anyway. No point in turning them away, they would still make there way in. You leaned against your counter as the men sat at your table. Waiting for them to speak.

“I believe, an apology is owed to you” Windu started, you replied in a scoff. Blowing air from your nose and shaking your head. “You did not trade secrets… You did not break the code” Windu sighed, looking to Kit for help. “We are sorry” Kit said, looking to you. Hoping you would give him your famous smile and accept the apology. “What’s made you change your mind” was all you replied with.

LMAO DID YALL SEE

Did Y'all SEE

That shit RH is trying to pass off an apology??

As always, this will be tagged with his full name, his last name "#RH" and "#h*ywoodgate" (without the asterisk and with the "a".

OKAY. So this little bite of the "apology" right here?

( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)

Okay, big guy. Try this.

As for providing clarity to my mistakes actions/intentions, I would like to state admit: I never set out to hurt anyone I did not think about what my status as a white cis man in a place of power would hold over these young fans. I flirted with and had sexual relations with members of the community manipulated members of the community into having sex with me. I am continually saddened to learn that my actions have contributed to anyone's pain, especially as my interactions, as inappropriate as they were, always came from a place of what I thought was a shared connection I did not think about the long term when acting on these inappropriate affairs and the blame is fully on me and not on those I mentally abused into this cycle of manipulation and coercion by way of blackmail and guilting, no matter how these women once may have felt. I recognize that I am in a place of great power of them and the fault is fully mine.

Maybe, instead of shifting the blame onto the victims-

TAKE FUCKING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOUR SHITTY ACTIONS.

Neither will I...

i will simply never get over the burning of the library of alexandria

Dear Lord, this gifset.... especially the first one, with him raising that eyebrow... Just.. uuughhhh...*swoons*

Oh dear lord... thank you so much for posting this, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. It drives me nuts that pop culture will set a show/movie/book (well, maybe book(s), not entirely sure on that one,) in Ancient Greece, or maybe will just use the Greek names of the Gods, but Heracles will be called Hercules.

I also appreciate that you pointed out how the Greeks also used syncretism

Listen, this is a very specific topic to be iffy about, but for your knowledge, the Roman gods are not the Greek gods.

The Romans were big on syncretism (the combination of different forms of belief or intellectual thought) and the adoption of foreign gods. The Greek deities were known since very early periods via the Etruscan culture, which was heavily influenced by Greece since the middle of the 8th century BC because of trade routes as well as the Greek cultural potential and would come to be completely engulfed around the third century BC with the Roman-Etruscan wars, but just like you’d see the Romans claiming the Germanic tribes worshipped their own gods under different names (the Germania by Roman historian Tacitus, written around 98 AD), the same happened here, and the fusion wasn’t 100% accurate.

While in the case of Zeus and Jupiter, for example, it worked well, Venus is far more motherly and political than Aphrodite (as Mars is the Father of Rome via the myth of Romulus and Remus, Venus is Venus Genetrix, Venus the Mother, and the only time you’ll see Aphrodite being motherly is in… the Aeneid, a distinctively Roman piece), Mars is an agricultural god as well as the god of war and has way more political connotations than Ares (he was a member of the archaic Capitoline Triad), Mercury is far more linked with commerce than the more pastoral Hermes, and the list goes on. Apollo was imported directly and very early (a temple for him, the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, was erected in the city of Rome as early as 431 BC), thus keeping the name but undergoing a very distinct Romanization of his attributes and worship. Janus, Quirinus and Terminus were very important Roman gods which had no Greek equivalent.

Isis, for example, was worshipped as herself, equated with a number of deities in both the Greek and the Roman worlds and some of her methods of worship and symbolism were associated with the Virgin Mary. It’s a far more complicated scenario, babes, especially when you consider Alexander’s conquests and the expansion of Hellenistic culture as well as its contact with many other cultures.

Syncretism is way more complicated than “the Romans just stole the Greek gods and gave them different names, the uncreative fucks”. The traditional date for Rome’s foundation is 753 BC and the Western Roman Empire would last until 436 AD. That’s over a thousand years of conquest, trade and growing and shrinking territories, and none of these factors are likely to leave a religion unaltered.

Besides, the practice of religious syncretism is way older and more common than you’d expect. The Akkadians did it to Summerian deities a few thousand years before this especially after the conquest of Sargon of Akkad in 2340 BC (“Mesopotamia: the Sumerians”. Washington State University). The Greeks were doing much the same with the Roman pantheon itself (Dionysus of Halicarnassus and Plutarch use Greek names for Roman cult), with the Egyptian pantheon and with the Scythian pantheon (Herodotus in both cases, though the associations would outlive him, such as the case of Zeus/Amon).

So, no the Roman gods aren’t the plagiarized versions of the Greek gods, and I could defend this in front of a jury.

Angry sex with Oberyn Martell would include :

(Woooo more nasty prompts! Woooo Oberyn :3 Hope it is as requested and you all like it :3 Gif not mine/found it on google/credit to the original)

-Him usually trying his best to dissolve the situation with his calmest tone, only to gradually grow hot tempered from your loud tone

-Him getting in on it with you and raising his voice as well at you until you’d both come to a stop

-Him inching closer to your face and whispering to you how mad he is at you for you behavior, only to tell you that he must punish you for this

-Him grabbing your arms and feverishly pressing his lips to yours, taking complete control of you

-Him biting your neck and kissing it as he pushes you up against the nearest wall

-Him slapping your ass for your “behavior” as he teases you with his words, only to grip you back to feel you

-Him pushing you down your knees and making you pleasure him with your mouth

-Him surprising you by pulling you back up and thrusting into you as he picks you up

-Him holding you tightly to him and making you scream as he thrusts wildly into you

-Him smirking after all of it and asking you if you’ll behave next time, only to reward you whatever answer you give him

Yes please...
