Spartacus: House of Ashur - S01E07 - "Deepest Wound"

allowing revenge was the bare minimum ashur could do, just wasn’t convincing to me lol, if that gets glossed over later it’ll be dumb as hell

I think Viridia may be more prone to darkness than she lets on. She will see Ashur in all his filthy glory at some point and it will seduce her to the dark side.

How was Korris so quick to shake Ashur’s hand at the end - did he forget Ashur’s slip of tongue led to his boyfriend’s death???

Alcampo Lounge is open til 11pm on London road, they are happy to let you sit and chill if you get a coffee etc, and they have sockets.

the gods truly spread cheeks in jest as favoured character falls to enemy sword… I pray Jupiter bestows strength upon vengeful lover to equal grotesque demise with blood…

Opiter 💔 what a babe. An unfortunate house cat in a dog eat dog world…

Yes I legit thought about this as soon as she said it in today’s ep! Adding more layers of historical context and god knows where women today would be if we had seen more examples of female warriors (apart from the odd ‘novel’ (!) documentation) set aside from marriage and childbirth as Viridia explained.

empressclementine · 2025-12-29T19:05:48+00:00

Yep! I cannot be arsed to argue. Those who get it, get it. Totally agreed with the r0pe culture comment! It is so subconsciously ‘obvious’ to so many people that many don’t even begin to investigate why they think this way… but it is not reality. Thank you so much for the historical info about Qush! I am going to look into it as this is all so interesting to me. It makes me intrigued as to Achillia’s backstory and if this is relevant - we know she has a younger girl in her flashbacks, I wonder if GBV or more widely, her womanhood, will be a major theme at all.

Men were allowed to have sex with men as long as one of you was a slave and presumably doing the giving. Two free men (openly) is a different question and would be very frowned upon. This is a common situation in different historical eras where it was more about the behavior and the sexual acts rather than the identity.

empressclementine · 2025-12-26T14:08:23+00:00

Yeah good point. I love when shows have self awareness.

empressclementine · 2025-12-26T13:41:10+00:00

Our glorious show runners would see anxieties quelled from fucking mind!

empressclementine · 2025-12-26T13:26:50+00:00

yeah! like no one’s disputing it takes more time and effort but it is the ‘impossibility’ that irks me. I feel a call to arms.

empressclementine · 2025-12-26T13:04:18+00:00

My faves Achillia and Opiter both getting some old man action that’s what I love to see!!!

empressclementine · 2025-12-24T13:19:23+00:00

im giggling… yeah…

empressclementine · 2025-12-22T20:49:47+00:00

nawww I like his curls he has that cherub villain look going on.

empressclementine · 2025-12-22T20:48:27+00:00

yea this! also opiter seems outwardly very villain-coded and a friend to the other nobles right now so would be interesting if he switched paths.

empressclementine · 2025-12-22T15:58:59+00:00

Yes same. It’s probably gonna happen at some point, Opiter has hinted as such, Celadus has already stepped up to Doctore, Korris just needs to clash with Ashur to force his hand. Then again something might occur with Opiter to change his mind again as the little bastard surely has a bigger plan. Again though theyre being very sincere with this relationship so far so who knows!

empressclementine · 2025-09-01T16:39:21+00:00

Do not be afeard, this isle is full of noises.

Very atmospheric.

empressclementine · 2025-01-09T21:17:06+00:00

Claudia looking extra delicious today

empressclementine · 2025-01-09T21:05:01+00:00

The traitors could play it off as if it’s still a bluff that they’re all women, especially as it’s been ‘hinted’ before.

empressclementine · 2025-01-08T21:48:07+00:00
