On one level the book is about the life of a woman who is hardly more than a token in a great epic poem, on another it’s about how history and context shape how we are seen, and the brief moment there is to act between the inescapable past and the unknowable future. Perhaps to write Lavinia Le Guin had to live long enough to see her own early books read in a different context from the one where they were written, and to think about what that means.

-Jo Walton

#thinking of how her last four novels between 2004 and 2008 show a progressive blossoming of interest in classical literary traditions #following nearly half a century's worth of a career where she seems to actively avoid the influence of classical or medieval europe #idk. but i think this explains annals of the western shore as much as lavinia.#she gets so interested in what it means to share the same stories across space and time (and class and gender and nationality)#to be united in a community by having the same poetry #and in such an obvious way thinking about classics as a discipline is an incredible way to work through that #and i do think its an interest that must come out of having witnessed her own work unite people in community across time #if you're talking about the way stories and poems bring people together across time...#i read the texts passed on to me by renaissance humanists and 19th century philologists and byzantine monks and late antique scribes...#and they're the same across time and space but they're also not #and to have seen her own work reach people across space and time and be the same but also not... that must have been incredible #so: did living long enough to see her own early books read in a different context and to think about what that means #drive her to think about classical literature as she clearly was for the better part of a decade?#mine #reception #anyway i gotta think about this and email [redacted] tomorrow

Glory & Gore (Hunger Games)

Chapter 1

Radiance Lovett volunteers for the 72nd Hunger Games. Beautiful, deadly and charming, she’s exactly the sort of tribute that District 1 is known for. Such a shame about her two older brothers, who met their untimely demise in the 65th and 68th Hunger Games. Such a shame that Radiance lives in the shadow of her Victor mother. Such a shame that she doesn’t know the price of winning.

europe is so interesting. they treat me like a cute kid, backpacking across europe at age 21. the next second they ask me why i'm responsible for gun violence in the united states.

#it's just so irritating #after my first night out in barcelona i introduced myself as peruvian exclusively #bc fjweiaofjreaogehw #they care sm abt american ex-pats gentrifying lisbon #(which is a problem)#but they don't care about literally any of the other clear as fucking day problems in their continent #i introduced myself as american #(texan moving to californian)#and then asked for my opinions on anti-queer laws; pro-gun laws; and why i still 'support' the country #i just happen to live therefjewiaofjreioag #this one parisian thought that we never learned abt the renaissance like #how much do u wanna bet they never learned abt any usa renaissances (harlem; french language rebirth in louisiana; etc)#cw: gun violence mention #gun #gun mention #so at least now i know i can't live in europe long-term #dash rambles #tonight is a night to think abt my spain speed-run #and then move on to portugal where hopefully they understand me #if it weren't for the tourism (english-speakers) i would've been in trouble in barcelona bc catalan doesn't sound as spanish-y as it reads

As the only person I know that knows about Twilight, I have a bizarre and strange question. I am sorry.

Question: in twilight, can 2 vampires have a child together? What about a vampire and a human? If they can have a child, will the child age?

With regrets,

-⚙️

No need to apologize! Fortunately for you, book 4 (breaking dawn) spends a significant amount of time answering these exact questions in canon!!

Can 2 vampires have a child together? No. The body needs to change to accommodate a baby/pregnancy, and vampire bodies are incapable of change. If it was possible, Rosalie would've found a way

Can a vampire and a human have a child? Yes, certain pairings! If the human is capable of getting pregnant, and the vampire is capable of impregnating (which just means they were capable of impregnating as a human), then a vampire can impregnate a human. This is how Edward and Bella have a kid together, Renesmee :)

Will the child age? Yes, and this is a big problem in book 4. A vampire-human hybrid will age rapidly, pregnancy lasting about a month, and then speeding through human developmental milestone and stages, reaching physical maturity in 7 years (they're born with an adult mental capacity). At that point, however, the speed tapers off and they remain unchanging and immortal like a vampire--though they are not identical to vampires; their human attributes do affect them. For example: only male hybrids are venomous, their skin isn't as sparkly and then can blend in in sunlight, they have circulatory systems and normal eye colors, and they can live off both blood and human food. However, they are incredibly fast and strong like vampires, and smarter than any human.

Hybrids are, however, incredibly rare. It takes significant self restraint for a vampire to impregnant a human without losing control and feeding on them--and very very few (2 people) are even willing or motivated to try. And of 5 known hybrids, only 1 has been birthed without killing her mother (they have a habit of bursting through the stomach and feeding on their carrier); in order to survive, the carrier must be turned into a vampire as well, as there's simply no other way to survive the injuries of the birth.

And to be clear: a vampire-human hybrid is very different from an immortal child. An immortal child is a human child transformed the traditional way via venom, which completely freezes them in time as an unchanging child. This is highly illegal because immortal children cannot develop past their transformation age, cannot mature, and yet have all the strength and power of a normal vampire, making them incapable of protecting the secrecy of vampire existence. Imagine a toddler who can level entire villages with a temper tantrum. The technical age of a child in this situation is iffy, but I'd say generally 10 and below is bad.

I hope that helps with whatever you need to info for!

#the twilight saga #the twilight renaissance #quil's queries #⚙️ nonsie #the entire plot of book 4 is pretty much dealing with bella's pregnancy and renesmee's rapid aging #as they at the time didn't know of any other hybrids and thought her the only one #and were afraid her rapid aging wasn't going to end and she'd only live for like 7 years before dyring #so they were very relieved to find out that the aging stops and she is in fact immortal like them #long post #immoral children being illegal is also relevant in book 4 because everyone first things renesmee is one #which is high key illegal and punished via death #so. they get in a bit of trouble #and have to convince everyone that actually. she's a legit growing kid #it all works out in the end but #it gets tense #hope this helps! i am more than happy to answer any further questions you have :)

today in college i learned von hohenheim was a Real Guy and not just a fullmetal alchemist character. academia is an incredible thing

#kibumblabs #and that the long ridiculous name the homunculus recommends for him at first (something something Theophrastus Bombastus)#is just.#actually the full name of that Real Renaissance Alchemist Guy #I would’ve never guessed that to be a real historical name that’s wild man #anyway the connections are very interesting. like arakawa’s choice in naming him hohenheim and all that…#the Real Guy was particularly known for his belief (among other things) that all things- living or otherwise-#could be broken down into chemical components #now it doesn’t seem like he tried to make a human being from what im aware but. he did poison people with mercury thinking it cured syphilis #so #there’s that #anyway. yeah interesting fact I learned today #I really like this class so far (us health science history) it’s satisfying my cravings for obscure medical history facts

I'd be so cool and happy and whimsical if I weren't surrounded by people who constantly want me dead

#i would be thriving i would be slaying gods and demons alike i would be a paragon of modern life like a beacon. veritable renaissance folk #instead i am a gremlin living hidden unwanting in a wet box. which has perks but doesnt do wonders for the prospects of long & fruitful days #imagine where we would be if no one ever held us BACK theres NO TELLING #this post was brought to you by mega super fucking turbo tummy ache :(

... please share some bernardino lonati info crumbs with us? Please 🥺 ascanio too if you want to

(PS. your art is so beautiful aaa💗)

YES (also thank you! 💗) oh my god okay so

They were!!! friends!!

Bernardino Lonati was from Pavia, and Ascanio spent a lot of time in Pavia in the earlier parts of his life and was also the apostolic administrator of Pavia, so it's very likely they knew each other as teenagers (Ascanio refers to Bernardino as his "cardinal from home")

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

and they were only a couple of years apart in age (Lonati was born in 1452, Ascanio was 1455)

Lonati was one of the cardinals that Ascanio had "made," (Sanseverino is another). Before that, though, he was Ascanio's secretary!

Popes, Cardinals and War, D.S. Chambers

in 1497, Ascanio fell seriously ill, like a lot of Rome thought he had died despite being alive because of how bad his condition was. Lonati was someone Ludovico Sforza got in contact with to try to navigate the situation, and Lonati and Sanseverino were part of a group that banded together to prevent Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI) from seizing Ascanio's assets in the event of his death.

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Every time Ascanio would go against the Vatican for one reason or another/in conflict with the pope (the reason is that Ascanio's loyalty went to Milan first and always), Lonati was one of the cardinals that always sided with him :)

So when Lonati fell ill and it was clear things weren't going to get better

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Ascanio rushed to be with him in his final hours and was so grief stricken over it that he had to be physically pulled away from Lonati's bedside because they were concerned that Ascanio would become ill as well (this was later in 1497). After Lonati died, Ascanio took care of the finances: Lonati wanted to pass the beneficiaries on to family members, but could not do this without Ascanio signing off on it since Ascanio was the apostolic administrator of Pavia.

Asanio did him one better: He wrote to his brother, knowing that he could ensure Lonati's last wishes, and had the income from S. Savino and a third of the income from S. Antonio go to the son, and the minor benefits go to the nephew, and the remaining 2/3rds of the income Ascanio had donated to charitable works in honor of Lonati's soul.

and he was in charge of the funeral arrangements and monument :')

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Lonati was buried in Santa Maria del Popolo, a church associated with Ascanio, and later Giuliano della Rovere (Pope Julius II) would have a tomb commissioned for Ascanio there too, which I feel so so so normal about.

Also, Lonati was considered a "poor cardinal" while he was alive, Ascanio was the driving force behind getting Lonati additional incomes.

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

and for some Ascanio trivia: he was gambled (literally) with Rodrigo Borgia on occasion, and was apparently an amateur musician on top of the Everything Else He Did 🎵

A Companion to Late Medieval and Early Modern Milan, edited by Andrea Gamberini

#i feel normal™ about whatever was going on with ascanio and lonati #other things ascanio enjoyed doing: horseback riding apparently. also hunting #ascanio juggling lucrezia's marriage arrangements and cesare's french affair and rodrigo trying to kick him out of vatican politics like #'cardinal sforza went to cardinal colonna's estates to relax his mind by hunting' BRO YOU'RE 43 TAKE A NAP OR SOMETHING #like. do you sleep. DO YOU SLEEP. YOU'VE EARNED A BREAK. << me saying this because chapter 13 of the ascanio biography is killing me #Events Do Not Stop Happening And I Am Just An Artist Who Is Trying So Hard To Keep Up With this #anyway i was up at 5am for reasons and was going to go back to bed for a bit but then i saw this ask and was immediately AWAKE #thank u anon this was more effective than any alarm clock followed by coffee #bernardino lonati #ask tag #rec tag #i wish i could provide you with primary (letter) sources but alas. i Do Not Live In Milan otherwise i'd live in the archives forever #i have. pictures of both ascanio and lonati's tombs? the monument/sculpture part. i think #im confident in ascanio's and less so about lonati since. again. never been to italy. would love to go someday!#and im relying on this one person's photography to not be lying to me with lonati hshdfhghg #(im confident about ascanio tho bc we got museums to confirm and also art history books. della rovere did interesting things with him)#long post #thanks for the ask anon!!! i love Every Opportunity I Get To Talk About The House Sforza (what i call ascanio and his friends lmao)#renaissance papacy tag

Help me out!

The renaissance faire is coming up here where I live and I really want to go this year, and I want to finally dress the part. That said I’m not completely sure where to start, especially since it would likely be stuff i don’t wear often I don’t want to go broke buying an outfit.

So what I am asking is for suggestions of things I could get for an outfit and from where.
