thinking abt how when julius caeser was kidnapped by pirates, he recited his poetry to them and when they were planning to hold him for ransom for 20 talents, he insisted they ask for 50.
he told the pirates that he'd have them crucified and they thought he was joking.
he wasn't joking but he got their throats cut first bc it was seen as a more merciful death
