Diantara kesalahan terbesar ayah adalah tidak hadir di dalam keluarga. Tidak mau turut andil di dalam mendidik isteri dan anak-anaknya dengan alasan sibuk dengan kewajiban mencari nafkah. Padahal, kewajiban ayah bukan hanya kerja cari nafkah, tapi juga mendidik, membimbing, mengarahkan, membersamai, melindungi dst keluarganya. Kaidahnya : فالاشتغال بأحد الواجبات لا يسوغ ترك واجب آخر Sibuk dengan salah satu kewajiban tidak boleh meninggalkan kewajiban yang lain. #parentingislam #islamicparenting #parentingquote #doa #parenting #pengasuhan #pengasuhananak #pengasuhanislam #pendidikananak #pendidikanislam #ayah #father #aba #abuya #abati #papa #pemimpinkeluarga (at Jambangan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmmzimOhQs6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Don Troiani just dropped!

This one is depicting the storming of Redoubt No. 9 at the close of the Siege of Yorktown, 14 October 1781.

After campaigning through Virginia in 1781, Major General Cornwallis’s Crown forces had established a base at Yorktown, a seemingly ideal spot since it provided easy access to the sea, and thus supplies and reinforcements from the Royal Navy.

What Cornwallis hadn’t counted on was a major joint French and American revolutionary operation that would not only bring a French and Continental force to besiege him by land, but also a French fleet to block off access by the sea.

The siege that followed progressed rapidly. Yorktown’s main defences were protected by a number of redoubts, small fortifications sitting a little out from the primary defensive lines. Two redoubts, numbered 9 and 10, were earmarked to be captured by the besiegers. On the night of 14 October Continental Army light infantry would attack redoubt 10, while their French allies attacked redoubt 9.

The multinational nature of the American Revolution comes to a head here. The 120ish Crown defenders of redoubt 9 included detachments from several English and Scottish regiments as well as Germans from the Hessian Regiment von Bose. There was variation even among the Scots, with highlanders from the 71st Regiment (Fraser’s highlanders), and lowlanders from the 80th Regiment (Royal Edinburgh Volunteers).

The attacking French force primarily consisted of the grenadiers and chasseurs (light infantry) of two regiments, Gatinais and Royal Deux-Points, but the latter regiment actually mostly consisted of Germans from the states of the Holy Roman Empire.

After darkness fell, and following a thunderous bombardment, the attack got underway. The French first had to clear the abatis (basically stakes and sharp undergrowth) lining the ditch in front of the redoubt. Charpentiers wielding axes did this, hacking a path. The assault force then stormed up and into the redoubt, roaring ‘long live the king’ and ‘kill, kill.’ The fighting was some of the most brutal of the Revolutionary War. One German in Royal Deux-Points, Georg Daniel Flohr, leaves a grim account;

‘Anyone can imagine what happened once we were inside the redoubt. People of four nations were thrown together: Frenchmen, English, Scots, and Germans… the soldiers… were so furious that our people were killing one another. The French were striking down everyone in a blue coat. Since the Deux-Ponts wore blue, many of us were stabbed to death… One screamed here, the other there, that for the grace of God we should kill him off completely. The whole redoubt was so full of dead and wounded that one had to walk on top of them.’

Top 5 paintings of Dante?

5. Domenico Petarlini, Dante in Exile (1860 circa)

Not the best depiction of Dante in my honest opinion – his face looks way off –, but I love how forlorn he looks. He just went on his depression walk, holding his little book, and picked this particular spot to sit and brood. He's not even looking at the see he's so sad. What is he thinking? Is he missing Florence? Is he regretting his parasocial relationship with the Holy Roman Emperor? We'll never know. What we do know, though, is that he looks sickening in his red skin-tight leggingsboots.

4. Annibale Gatti, Dante Receives News of His Exile (1850-1858)

He is once again brooding on some non-identified hill with his trusty book in hand, when some tween hikes up to his place of refuge and tells him he has to pack up and leave – actually, it looks like they have already packed up for him. And he is so sad. The saddest boy in Florence exile. He's probably thinking that he needs to find a stick to carry that bundle like a dejected little anthropomorphic cartoon squirrel.

3. Ary Scheffer, Dante and Virgil with Paolo and Francesca (1835)

The tale of Paolo and Francesca's tragic love is a bit much for little Dante, who swoons "away as if [he] had been dying" and falls "as a dead body falls." This one is pretty self-explanatory, really. He's just... laying there.

2. Gustave Doré, Dante and Virgil in the Ninth Circle of Hell (1861)

Doré is of course a veteran Dante illustrator and I think he gets the horror and tenderness of the Comedy like nobody else. In this one, everyone's favourite poetic duo is going through the Ninth Circle, where sinners guilty of treachery are condemned to spend eternity in a frozen lake where there is no light nor warmth. There are frozen heads and a lot of gnawing going on, but Dante is not letting go of Virgil. No ma'am. He's holding on to his man as he "accidentally" kicks Guelph traitor Bocca degli Abati in the head.

1. William Bouguereau, Dante and Virgil in Hell (1850)

Thee Dante and Virgil painting for me. They're in the 10th Bolgia of the Eighth Circle – there are imposters, falsifiers, counterfeiters, etc. running and clawing and biting, surrounded by filth and disease and hell demons. Dante is once again holding on to his guide Virgil, and he's looking very intently at Gianni Schicchi the imposter and Capocchio the alchemist who are going at it... very homoerotically... mh.

Character voice tag

@loopyhoopywrites and @emabatis tagged me for this one - thank you! Check out Loopy's lines here and EM Abatis's lines here

Rules: Rewrite a the line of dialogue from the person who tagged you into the voice of your OC’s! (You can include a short beat of action to help establish character if you want.) Pass on the tag with a new line of dialogue.

Loopy passed on the line, "May I ask you a question?" and Abatis's was, "Yes, please!" i'll be looking at how the folks from The Art of Empty Space might say it. i'll tag @that-cyber-writer, @squarebracket-trick, @innocentlymacabre, and @serotoninshift to share (if you feel like it!) your characters' take on a classic: "I thought you were dead." if you want to hop in, take this as your open tag!

now, on to the character voices (written in second-person present tense, because i'm feeling contrary today):

Phi

"There's something you're not telling me." Phi doesn't look up from their work; they just keep clacking their abacus, scratching cuneiform numbers into clay. "Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

Gerania

Gerania stalks closer, faer jaw set. Fae stops a breath away from you. "I'm going to ask you something, and you are going to answer me. Your answer will be quick, and accurate." Blue fire whips around you in a cold tempest. "Is that understood?"

Baz

"...Alright." Baz's smile breaks through, a crack in springtime ice. "I think I'd like that."

Lienzo

"You're going to make me beg? And here I thought you were above that." Though his words are harsh, he barely holds back a smile. A crooked eyetooth peeks out from behind parted lips. "Fine: yes... please."

Hello, all!

I'm EM Abatis, and I make words. This is my designated professional account, for my very serious not-at-all silly poetry and original fiction. (Maybe a couple reviews, too, if I'm so inclined.) I'll also reblog things that inspire me, whether it be poetry, visual art, music, or thousand-word infodumps about the bronzed cowbird. I'll tag my stuff with "my poetry" or "my fiction" and other people's stuff with "look! art!!!"

My work sometimes dips into dark or adult subject matter, but I've never written something that couldn't feasibly be read to a high school class. That being said, I'll tag possible triggers, even if the poem is vague and obscure about it, as it usually is.

I tend to write short, experimental things. Poetic inspirations include Gertrude Stein (especially Tender Buttons), Douglas Kearney (especially Patter), William Blake, Emily Dickinson, and many others I can't think of at the moment.

Real reactions to my work include "I have no idea what just happened, but I loved it," and "That was so funny - was that supposed to be funny?" and "You're like the reincarnation of Edgar Allen Poe, except as an alien." If that sounds like your jam, stick around! If you have questions about my process, or anything else really, please feel free to ask! 🦇

My instagram is em_abatis though I don't post there often and don't really know how the site works. I'm much more comfy on Tumblr.

My current big fiction project is a middle grade/children's/whatever chapter book about existentialist philosophy, the limitations of language, and grief, which I'm tentatively titling "What Dahlia Knows", but I'll tag anything about it with "the icy wip" Intro Here

I'm also working on a short story collection about monsters in everyday settings (Masterpost Here), something I've been calling "skeleton collect-a-thon,"(Intro Here) a "Strawberry Shortcake-meets-DnD" fantasy novel, and a weird literary post-apocalypse called "On Scene." (Intro Here)
