a lament, on the universe, and forsooth (forsooth! wtf?)

[seperis]

Trufax. I am losing my contractions again.

Many moons ago, due to years of essay writing (which discouraged contraction use), everything I wrote was almost disturbingly formal, but in a very awkward way. I'd broken the worst of the habit by my fourth month in fandom because nothing beats reading your own porn dialogue coming out as a cross

You're writing Merlin, aren't you? Despite the modern dialogue/humour/characterisation of that show, it still seems to tap into all those old legends of Arthur when all spoke in Ye Olde English.

Weird, but it seems to happen a lot.

[seperis]

Pretty much. I hear Arthur, I flashback to Ye Olde Days and it's so bad. Reading it is worse. I can only mock myself so long before I become immune to it and start to think, yea, and thou shalt taketh his member into thy mouth. Or something.

Cicero by way of Hustler?

I think my brain just broke a little. And the classicist inside is crying out for something, anything, to make him more interesting.

(Although his vague accusations of incest can be amusing)

[seperis]

Can you imagine Cicero's House of Pornography? Very erudite, deeply meaningful, with lots of carefully choreographed positioning. I wonder if everyone orgasms in perfectly grammatical Latin?

[manderkitty]

Hah! Cicero's House of Pornography would surely attract all those dirty Roman poets and playwrights. I'm sure Catullus would have a ball. Of course, Cato would be lurking just outside the door delivering dour one-liners and glaring at those grammatically correct repeat customers.

Of course the orgasms are scripted. Where do you think you are? Greece?

[seperis]

True. No one wants an extemporaneous orgasm to ruin it all.

Of course, Cato would be lurking just outside the door delivering dour one-liners and glaring at those grammatically correct repeat customers.

I'm not convinced Stoicism has orgasms. Which would explain quite a bit.

[dragojustine]

Maybe he's more interesting in his native tongue?

Nope. Seems plausible, but no.

Sorry. I am laughing WITH you, I swear. You crack me up.

[seperis]

*sulks* I can tell. I feel like writing it now just to punish fandom. VERILY STICKETH THY MANHOOD WITHIN HIS SECRET SHEATHE. But you know, scarier.

...really am attracted to verily now like whoa.

[jade_dragoness]

Do not fret fair lady. Thy mastery over the quill upon the page of the digital is renown throughout the internetland.

Should thy seeketh to fare with a lack of contradictions, you would have my sword.

Now, part of me desperately wishes there was an international talk like a knight day. =D

[seperis]

Oh hell yes. WE NEED THAT.

*sad* Ye Olden Blowjob.
