Rome in pictures: Many faces of Lucius Vorenus

[alexandral]

My head/heart is full of "Rome"-related thoughts. When one starts thinking about future plot developments before dozing of to sleep one must admit that this is serious. And even more so, this week I re-watched my favourite scenes from season 1 and this helped to add fuel to the fire. :D

And this is where posting a collection of pictures helps, because for me life is largely about visuals. I have collected 35 (!!) screencaps involving mostly Vorenus. But of course Pullo is there too because Vorenus and Pullo are one single unit for me.

So, for your perusal: Vorenus, Pullo, sweat, blood, daggers, long pale eyelashes and blue eyes.

Also because "Rome" still occupies my thoughts, I welcome any requests for "Rome" icon making - choose your favourite screencap, let me know if you like a particular text and I will make an icon this weekend.

EEEEE! LUCIUS PICSPAM! OK, so, do you mind if I steal some so I can do a Titus picspam, because those two go together like Bread & Jam :P

Also, I AM ALSO WORRYING ABOUT FUTURE PLOT DEVELOPMENTS AS I SLEEP! (And I went back and read all my "Rome" entries - what can I say? I was bored! - and I actually seem to have a pretty good track record of guessing right - like, I guessed that it was going to be Servilia who leaked the thing about Niobe many episodes earlier.) SO, my guess is that a) Titus is going to be the one who finds Lucius's children - that is the point of this rift between them in the next episode, because he will be free to leave Lucius (and look for the kids); and b) they are so, so, so clearly, IMO, going to be on opposing sides at Actium, and all the Antony-Vorenus stuff from the last episode was a reminder to us of that.

Can I be a silly little fan girl and say: Titus Pullo picspam by queenofthorns Yay Yay Yay!

In other, more controlled words; Yes, please. ;D

EEE! I am glad you like them! Take what you like. That picture of Vorenus looking over his shoulder is my favourite among his pictures. :D

I am absolutely buying this. I was also thinking that in a way Titus was always in Vorenus' shadow and this is probably the time for him to become his own man. Shallow thoughts - and when they are in the opposite camps they can have manly angst and silently glare at each other.

And when Titus rescues the children and brings them back to Vorenus they are going to have a reunion, but then they will become friends as equal.. Because up to the episode 12 Titus calls Vorenus "sir" but I think it is a time for them to come together in friendship on equal terms.

and all the Antony-Vorenus stuff from the last episode was a reminder to us of that.

You know, I find Mark Antony really strange, one moment I think "awesome" and another moment I think "wild beast". And he seems to come too close to some men, like Brutus and Vorenus. Is he trying to dominate??

I meant Pullo, but clearly I think about Vorenus far too much. :D

Oh, this is such an excellent thought - you're right that they've really not had a relationship of equals (brothers, yes, but Vorenus is always the Elder Brother until this season!) And what better way for Titus to repay Lucius for rescuing him from the gladiatorial ring than to find his children and give them back?

I do hope that's what happens!!

And then they all are going to live as one family again. :D

But one bad premonition/prediction I feel is that I don't think Titus and Eurene will live happily ever after. But we will see.

Oh, Alexandra, I'm SO WORRIED! I read an interview with Chiara Mastalli on the HBO website and she was talking about how Eirene and Pullo are very straightforward people and "pure" (I think she means honest and not manipulative) and that makes it dangerous for them in the world that is so dishonest and crooked. I too fear for Eirene!

Maybe Lucius's children will live happily with Lyde and Eirene in the countryside and whenever they are not having adventures, Lucius and Titus will visit them :P (Of course it will not happen this way, but I must console myself a little bit!)

This feels very ominous - when creators start talking how their characters are too good to live. In the meantime, I really hope (I think I could see it in Vorenus/Eurene scenes) that she loves him back and strongly as he does.
