Not sure how I managed to go ten years without making this connection

but 'The Field of Philippi'... 'where Caesar came to an end'... the Ides of March.

(Of course it wasn't; the battle of Philippi was what happened after Julius Caesar's assassination, and the poetical Bunny is probably not predicting his own doom. But I thought it was neat, all the same.)

Anyway, happy Ides!

Happy Ides! (You know, I’d forgotten entirely the significance of today :P)

Always significant for Raffles fandom :)

[adore]

I have seen so many hilarious Tumblr posts about this!

[regshoe]

Wait, about this specific thing? Or do you mean (Raffles-related) Ides of March posts in general?

[adore]

I don't know what Raffles is but Tumblr is full of people jokingly planning to rally and stab Caesar. It's my first year on Tumblr but apparently this happens every year. XD

Ah, I see. This post is about Raffles (the Ides of March has a fandom-specific significance), but Tumblr's general Ides of March celebrations are fun!
