Hey diva! In honor of my birthday tomorrow, how would the DNBTS crazy ginger twinks be on Alga's birthday? Been on my re-read and they're occupying all of my thoughts <3
OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! i hope its a good one :3
caracalla, honestly, would be the one to forget. he can barely remember things about himself, i doubt he will be able to remember their birthday even if he tries so hard something in his skull pops.
meanwhile geta likes to think that hes has this day marked since aga told him, but im gonna be so real with you, he also forgets. hes too self centered to not. about two hours after waking up, he will remember, literally just freeze in place. then he starts scrambling.
geta’s hurried attempts at preparing a celebration is what gets caracalla’s attention, and as soon as he knows that geta is doing something for their birthday, you know damn well he mooches off of it. more than likely, he will take advantage of geta being distracted to find alga and give them their first happy birthday— not actually that was from aelius. he will probably try to take full credit for geta’s preparations too.
i think geta would greet alga by patting them on the cheek and saying “for you, carissimus.” and its some bare bones bullshit roman party. the scary kind where he brings out lions or some shit lmfao. hes also going to put in the motion to make their birthday some kind of holiday like his and caracallas.
neither has a really thought out birthday gift so they just kind of start dumping really expensive stuff on alga’s head to make up for it. genuinely i kind od think caracalla would give them head for their birthday and then act like he just handed them the moon from the sky.
this happens almost every birthday, except to geta’s credit, he starts to remember and prepare a bit more. alga tries to incorporate modern parties into his planning which geta romanizes into being 10 times more intense. no matter how many years pass, caracalla only remembers because of geta and his gift is always head. love flops.

gets notif for this and immediately flies to answer it. please never underestimate how desperate i am for questions. none are stupid and all are appreciated, especially when i cant get my mind on straight, like rn. thank u sm anon
anyway!!! the easy answer is do not blame the sea. not only was it one of my first fics where i got MULTIPLE pieces of fanart, which was genuinely such a beautiful, wonderful, and happiness inducing exchange, but it is so incredibly fun to write. geta and caracalla are blorbos of all time to me and ive always had a fascination with ancient rome. particularly regarding the concept of a modern character time traveling there. dnbts encompasses all of my interests, character tropes, and relationship dynamics that i love with my entire heart. the most fun ive ever had writing point blank period was when i was working on those two chapters where geta slapped alga and then had a panic attack about it. i am not exaggerating when i say that i was pacing back and forth, grinning like a maniac with every word. not only that, but ive made some wonderful friends who i met because of dnbts. idk, its just… such an important story to me.
under the cut is a much more serious explanation as to dnbts’s positive impact on me
i started writing dnbts in 2025 and that was a very rough year for me. my cat died the day after christmas, and the rest of that month and all of january i was left alone with my grief. my parents were canoodling an hour away, basically treating me like i was dramatic and selfish when i begged someone to come be with me. i was off of my medication at the time and scared of what id do to myself. this feeling was worsened when i saw that my pleas for help were VERBATIM blown off as guilt tripping. the effects of this still hurt me to this day, and it has irreparably damaged my relationship with my parents. i realized that if it came between my mom and me, my dad will always choose my mom. ever since this, i have had near constant fights with my mom who has made it abundantly clear that she does not like me (she has told me to my face. multiple times. in front of my father)
in a time where i felt so very alone, i started writing dnbts and the response to it was genuinely staggering. writing chapters and interacting with people afterward brought such genuine brightness to a life that felt soooooo bleak at the time. i made new friends, i became closer with the ones i had, and i realized through dnbts that writing isnt just a hobby, but a genuine passion that has changed my life for the better. i have an impact through what i make. i can bring people happiness even if i never speak to them just from creating. if i can do that for the rest of my life, its something worth living. ive caught myself in moments where ive wanted to die think ‘well. i cant write if im dead.’ and i realize that not being here anymore isnt something that i ACTUALLY want.
ive had people tell me that reading dnbts led them to question and discover their gender. people who have re-read it more times than ive even read my favorite book. ive made such wonderful friends through it. felt less alone in a time where i had to come to terms with the fact that my mother will always come first and how lonely of a feeling that is. i met my boyfriend through a shared love of creating and character building, only for him to become my biggest cheerleader and person i love most in this world.
and all of this happened because i wrote ancient roman transgender x reader yaoi fanfiction.
because of all of this, do not blame the sea will always and forever be my fav story ive ever written. it was there for me when i needed it more than anything and brought so much joy to others. something that i doubted i was even capable of until i started writing fanfiction. this is a really serious answer to such an innocuous ask, sorry about that 😭 but this is all the uncensored truth.
to anyone who is reading this. it doesnt matter if you have ever commented, spoken to me, left a kudos, a bookmark, anything. just the act of reading and being there has brought and continues bring me uncalculable joy. thank you :]
ssssituation: Geta and Caracalla work a closing shift together at Dollar General
doing this one first because this is so fucking funny to me
for starters, they would argue over who would be working register and who would be “manager on duty” and organizing the back aisles as soon as they entered the store for their shift. it would actually start on the drive there. caracalla IMMEDIATELY beelines for the manager to plead his case, and he thinks that’s why he’s assigned the back of the store and not geta. in truth, it’s because caracalla has gotten so many customer complaints the dm has said he’s no longer allowed to work the register. (real thing that happened at my store)
geta is stuck in register from 2:15 pm to 9:30, in which he is informed that he will be counting the change fund, his drawer, and the deposit because it has come to the manager’s attention that caracalla cannot count and unfortunately they are too understaffed to fire him.
it is a busy day. around 4 pm, the after work/school rush begins and geta is swamped on the register. he tries to find caracalla to get him on the second register so they can get the like to a manageable lemgth, but caracalla is hiding in the bathroom everytime he noticed the line is long. when geta requests help, caracalla reiterates that the manager said hes no longer allowed on register. geta is so angry that he’s shaking.
while caracalla (poorly) works in the back, which consists of pulling up two of every item sonthat the shelves look nice, organized, and stocked, geta has not been able to move from the register for hours. on top of worki g the register, he has been told to organize aisles 13-9 and 1, 2, & 3. he has not been able to do any of that. by the time the rush has lulled around 7 pm, caracalla is done with his duties in the back and geta is LIVID. he is BRIGHT fucking red. to spite everyone who works there, he does the bare minimum organizing the shelves despite having tome to complete his duties, and once he deems it “good enough” he spends the rest of his shift on his phone. geta, unlike caracalla, is smart enough to know where the cameras wont see him, or he chain smokes in the parking lot watching tiktoks.
9:30 hits and after much arguing, caracalla is plopped unceremoniously onto geta’s drawer so that geta can count the change fund. this activity takes no more than five minutes but geta sits in the office watching the cameras until close. both twins close five minutes early, customers be damned, and caracalla sits in the break room while still clocked in as geta counts his drawer and the deposit. this takes like forty five minutes because geta is not good with numbers i fear.
geta comes in the next morning and does not get in trouble for not organizing aisles because he was busy on register “the whole time” and some other employee does it.
they get away with doing the bare minimum for years until geta attacks caracalla with his bare hands
What would happen if Alga's parents randomly transported to ancient rome. Would they change their judgment seeing how happy alga is with the ginger duo. Or would they saying something wrong and end up as lion food
this is genuinely one of my absolute favorite daydream scenarios. not just for dnbts, just anything really— and i am making it really happen in osd, but i digress. i love the concept of victim finding happiness and purpose with people, growing into their true self, but when their abuser returns, their newfound friends see how broken they really are. i am normal and not traumatized at all.
but yeah, i think that upon seeing their parents, alga would be filled with a tangled mess of emotions. i genuinely don’t know if i can properly describe it. there would be relief there because i think no matter how bad someone’s parents hurt you, there will always be this deep and childish need for them. but that relief is overshadowed by a mass of anxiety and stress. in an instant, alga is overcome with the need to be perfect. to show no cracks, or flaws, or mistakes. they have to be their parents perfect only child. which would result in a bit of shame for being with geta and caracalla, though they are not above throwing around the twins’ imperial status to impress their parents.
i think AT FIRST geta and caracalla would put up with alga’s parents as best they can. which is not very good, but they’re not executing them so. neither one of them understand alga’s love for their parents after being hurt so thoroughly, but geta is aware enough that outright killing them — albeit in his eyes the most helpful route — would do him no favors. which winds up with alga’s parents living with them again for some time. yippie.
the more alga stretches themself thin to be the perfect son, and the less attention they give to the twins, results in geta and caracalla HATING those mfs more than they ever thought was possible. alga is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. they already run themself ragged for people geta and caracalla deem lesser, so this is rather ridiculous to them.
both emperors try to “talk” with alga. which just means geta lectures them and makes them feel bad, and caracalla complains about alga’s shitty parents. i think caracalla’s route would work the best because he’d make them laugh (this frustrates geta).
alga: i dont know how to describe it. all ive ever wanted was for them to be proud of me… im more successful than i could ever be here, and they still—
caracalla: foolish, medicus. don’t you see? nothing will ever be good enough for them because they like to watch you struggle for their approval. it makes them feel like gods.
and hearing what they have always thought from someone else kind of makes everything settle into place. i think alga is far too kind and compassionate to truly just… let their parents die, but they do tell them that they never want to see them again. in my modern au, this is the equivalent of alga going no contact LMFAO
theres a lot more i can say on this but this is just the overview of what would happen. alga’s parents get #banished.
Hey diva! Quick question, could you put out a timeline type of thing for Do Not Blame The Sea? Like time between the chapters, how long certain things take, stuff like that? Anyway love the story I think I've reread what you have so far like 3 times
omg heyyyy, okay so the genuine answer is that i’m flying by the seat of my pants timeline wise, so the details are… vague to say the least, even to me. i’ve been trying to stop with the “a few days passed” thing because its fucking with my own personal timeline and what i intended if i make things TOO set in stone. its kind of supposed to be fill in the blank, but im soooo bad at leaving things ambiguous and time passing/distance is a real issue for me 😭
the best i can tell is is that arc one is supposed to be anywhere between 4-6 months from alga arriving in the past to the end of arc one. so from chapter one to chapter eighteen i’d say roughly six months have passed. i dont know if that rings true in the body of the fic, but it’s what i intended from the beginning. again, the passage of time is something i really struggle with portraying.
arc two is supposed to be a little before the movie to That One Scene with caracalla and geta in the movie, which… i don’t think this is movie accurate, but for ease of writing i’d say arc two’s timeline will be anywhere from two weeks to a month
arc three is the [REDACTED] arc and without getting too in detail from getting to point a to point b will take like… two weeks i think, but i’m going to odysseus their ass and say it’s going to take like two months, MAYBE a little more
all of this is to say is alga shows up and changes everything in less than a year. the power of green hair and faggotry i guess
i can definitely go in depth at another point, i just have to re read dnbts and take notes. to be so real with you i dont feel like doing that right now, but i’ll make a post when i get around to it. this is the INTENDED timeline though. sigh writing is so #hard

guh i have work the next three days [hangs head] a bit of an update as to where im at with my projects :3
only skin deep - on a little hiatus until i start to miss it and begin to cook exponentially once more
do not blame the sea - NOT on a hiatus but i do have to plot out arc two and to do that i have to watch the movie again, which ive been putting off because i cant sit still
the palace becomes a circus - the set up is unfortunately a slog and a half to write but i will lock in eventually. i want to get to the part where the palace becomes a circus but UNFORTUNATELY i have to get through that DAMN tourney UGH i will try to lock in this weekend though
the things inside - this is my hotd fic, and i have three chapters completed and ready to post! the only reason why i havent posted them is because uh… i commissioned a cover for it and its not done yet 😔 i may cave and post anyway but fartttt the sketch looks so fucking good gang
headcanons and drabbles - im still taking requests, however i have my own little prompt list in my notes that im suuuuuper excited to give some attention to. right now im working on ‘finding out their knight friend is a trans man,’ ‘unsettling siren reader headcanons but whether its autistic swag or something supernatural is up to interpretation,’ and ‘jealousy headcanons for when you reunite with an old childhood friend.’
"I don't make love. I fuck, medicus ." -Geta trying to sound tuff probably
and then hes whining and sobbing into their shoulder about how much he loves them mid thrust 😭 the thing is that he wants so bad to be some dominating presence in the bedroom, but i do think he very quickly gets overwhelmed, and when hes with someone he loves, he gets like… sappy, i guess? just so completely full of fondness and affection and love that he genuinely cannot take it. and then after he is like “heh i fuck like a wild beast 😝 youre welcome my love” as if youre not still wet with his tears
Geta and Caracalla's reaction to Alga being drunk but not at a party so he's kinda just wandering around the palace or castle or whatever it friggen is.. aimlessly untill his beloved beautiful ginger wives come along and 🤔💭 yeah!
(Get well soon Lord Gorbo)
okay, so basically caracalla becomes an evil and wretched beast, while geta becomes the worlds biggest sap on planet earth. i do think caracalla would be upset that alga went and got drunk without him. don’t they know that hes known at parties as the wine guzzler 4000? it doesnt take long for him to get as drunk as alga is. while i think theyre both definitely boning nasty style at SOME point during this whole drunken debaucle, they do end up like… making asses of themselves. caracalla already brings out a childish playfulness in alga while theyre sober, drunk alga is giggling all over him and loudly singing songs. he finds this deeply endearing. while getting geta to dance involved a fair bit of weaseling, caracalla just needs to be a few glasses in and hes letting alga spin him around. saw a vision if alga sloppily teaching him how to do a cartwheel while theyre both trashed. i need to chew on them
meanwhile geta becomes the worlds biggest sap. the only time he finds himself truly TRULY comfortable in indulging all of those gooey and mushy emotions in his gut revolving alga without drowning in #MasculineShame is when theyre either too tired or too drunk to notice/remember. he finds them stumbling down the hall and at first hes mad. what are you THINKING, where is your escort??? and then he realizes whats up and hes like. oh. i get to take care of them. and boy howdy does he. geta is fetching them water (maybe more wine who knows) and playing with their hair and telling them things that if they remember in the morning he would be so embarrassed hed explode. hes kissing their forehead and tucking them in and telling them stories from his childhood. all things he wants to do SOOOO bad but his general levels of Unfathomable Repression keep him from. ugh he makes me sick.
