This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The poorer/newer soldiers who couldn't afford their own equipment? Honestly, that's how everyone did it for a millenium.

The whole concept of the Velites is fucking wild:

"Hey, you're young and poor as shit, go to the frontline and throw some sticks on those heavily armed guys lol here's a wolf hat you fucking loser lmao"
