I'm bummed

Man, I was going to request "Any" for yuletide in Ancient Carthaginian History and Mythology RPF (Dido | Elissa (Queen of Carthage), Hannibal Barca, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major, Tanith) and I was having SO MUCH FUN coming up with prompts for unlikely combinations of those folks, but alas, 'twas not to be.

So, for posterity, the prompts I came up with.

( Dido & Hannibal )

( Dido & Scipio )

( Dido & Tanith )

( Hannibal & Tanith )

( Scipio & tanith )

(Looking at those like this, it's pretty obvious I grew up on Stargate, what with all the people meeting gods (theirs or otherwise) and being, if not unfazed, then at least somewhat unimpressed. Idk.)

I understand the reasoning behind the yuletide decision, I'm just bummed.


I'm also bummed that I had to had the "OMG! I can READ BOOKS! On my PHONE!" epiphany again, because I can, in fact, read books on my phone. How many times I am going to have to have this epiphany before it sticks?

So I'm reading Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer (on my phone!), as a kind of birthday present to myself, and so far I haven't much to say about it, except that I enjoy it, Loki better not be the villain and I like what (very little) I've seen of Loki so far. "Tell the All-Father I said hello", indeed.


*Okay, fine, the fall of Carthago Nova does hinge on one very conveniently timed storm.
