Darkfinder she/her Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 My reasoning barely exists. Need to research more into roman history as a whole.

Spoiler The tractor sprinkler!! I got one for Christmas and put it through its paces today, it worked flawlessly. I set the hose up like a track, and this indomitable little marvel made the full circuit in 1.5 hrs, shutting itself when it ran into the specially designed ramp that triggers a shut off valve on the bottom of the tractor. Brilliant!
dannnex male Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Uhhh *tries to remember stuff from world history and fails* I think I remember maybe having the opinion that it was just an excuse. iirc (I probably don’t) he was a prett okay leader and the next dude (marcus something?) wasnt.

Was it really what was best for the republic or was it an excuse? Was the collapse of the republic inevitable or could it have been prevented? So from some research on Caesar's death and what I found said that the roman leaders thought he was making a bid to become king so they organized a conspiracy aiming to remove him and keep the system the same as it was. But his death lead to the Roman Republics collapse so and the Roman empire forming so it didn't even achieve what they wanted. On top of that I don't think that any of the assassins wanted to help the republic in anyway they just wanted to hold on to the power and Caesar being crowned would take that power away from them. So I think it was an excuse to keep power to themselves and in the end destroyed the republic. Take all this with a grain of salt I only did some quick research so I might of gotten some facts wrong and I wasn't there and will never know the real reason why they killed him.

theTruthshaper Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 The only think I know and want to know about Ceaser's death is that Mark Anthony was peak public speaker.
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 I'm not really a history person, so how about this: Have any of you read the series Septimus Heap?
theTruthshaper Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Yes! The frst seven books were fairly good. The trilogy was awful.

theTruthshaper Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) They came into existence fairly recently. Also, don't read them. Who was your favorite character from the series? Edited July 15, 2020 by The_Truthwatcher
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 Definitely Beetle. He's just adorable. And dorky. And his relationship with Jenna is beautiful. Also I love Jenna. Can I be her pls?

DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 I don't think I have a specific favorite book, but I like Darke, at least the scene where Beetle and Jenna go get sandwiches and you get to hear what Beetle is thinking.

Rusts, I hardly remember anything. Tbsh, one of my fabourite scenes is when Septimus flies using the completed charm for the first time.
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 I'm a sucker for a romantic subplot, so I tend to focus on... Jeetle? Benna? Also they're just so freaking adorable... But that scene is pretty cool
