After doing quite a lot of reading, I've come to the conclusion that the assassination of Julius Caesar may have, in fact, been a strategic suicide on Caesar's part, a reversal of the plot of Cassius Longinus and Junius Brutus. I believe that Caesar intended this suicide after some contemplation as a pragmatic method of creating an empire or ensuring lasting political power in Rome.

Let me start by saying that Nasuverse is a very complex setting to work with. It is full of background and interesting minutiae, the sort of world-building stuff I enjoy trying to piece together and make sense of in my spare time, so I can nerd-rage about inconsistencies and nonsensical elements until my heart is content. The problem with complex settings is, if you're on a budget and stuck in a specific timeframe, you can only show so much of that setting at any given time. So lots ...

As I've probably made blindingly obvious in the past, I utterly adore RGU with ...
School is back in, and while my schedule is actually quite good to get some writing in, with my girlfriend back I've been spending most of my free time catching up with her. So Death and Justice keeps getting put on a backburner. I have the major images in my head written--the ones that got me to write this in the first place.
