Our final stop was Naples and I realized my childhood dream of visiting Pompeii. I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was. Sometimes you can almost hear the sounds of the old city, especially in areas that are less frequented by large tour groups. But the most amazing parts were the frescos. As an artist myself, I feel like I learned something new by looking closely at the brush strokes and I can't wait to get home and try to paint like them! I wonder if those ancient artists know that modern artists still learn from their work. I also attempted to climb Mt. Vesuvius, but I will post more about that over on my side blog, @vesuvius-official.
I am so sad to be flying home today. Europe as a whole has been awesome. I hope I can come back again someday, and hopefully for a longer visit!

I realized recently (read: today as I'm writing this) that while I associate certain specific fiber arts with Athena (knitting, weaving, dying, and spinning), I associate crochet specifically with Apollo, though Athena's there too, of course. I think it's because it's more free-flowing: I can freehand something with crochet more easily than I can with knitting, both because I've known it longer and because there are fewer Things To Learn, unlike knitting which has a million different techniques that may seem interchangeable but actually aren't and that all affect the end product in a pretty big way (looking at you decreases & bind-offs). Because I can free-hand crochet more easily, and I grew with it the same way I did with drawing, they have similar vibes. Knitting and weaving, on the other hand, have steeper learning curves imo and are way more structured- and I associate more solid (dare I say rigid) structure with Athena. Embroidery and cross-stitch are kinda in their own floating category, maybe because I do them less and therefore have weaker associations with them over-all. I associate hand-sewing largely with Hestia, though again, Athena is always also there, because I associate it with mending, altering clothing, and making home items (ex the quilted pillowcase I've been mentally turning around in my head for the last few weeks).
Interestingly, I find printmaking specifically to be associated with both Athena and Apollo. It leans into the latter's domain, of course, the same way crochet does Athena's, but the structure you need in order to layer & print properly without hurting yourself, ruining equipment, or fucking up you edition seems reminiscent of Athena. Dyeing, especially making & using natural dyes, feels very much like an Athena thing despite it 1) feeling similar to painting or using inks and 2) being a trial & error process that's honestly pretty free-flowing if you approach it a certain way (especially if you do solar dyeing, which doesn't necessarily need some of the more meticulous processes you need to boil-dye something).
#brought to you by 'reminiscing about an art history project' & 'knitting a veiling cloth' & 'sick & bored'#i really should take advantage of the heat and do some solar dyeing#we have glass jars & a front and back porch#hell i could probably use our kitchen window#it's so fucking hot guys. i hate it here. born for the cold forced to live in a fucking oven#it's not even the hottest area of the country#anyway. i dyed wool yarn & weaved it into a test swatch for my final project for an art history class about pompeii#we were supposed to take a concept we didnt expand on in class & explore it & i decided to look at how the middle class (who would have worn#colors you get from dyeing but couldnt upkeep vivid ones like the upper class did so they faded)#may have dyed their clothes/yarn despite most people not having access to their own hearths to boil-dye things#since glass existed by then#i even got special permission to harvest from the university's overgrown (& at that time closed) dye garden so i got to work w/ red madder#anyway. i digress#hellenic pagan#helpol#hellenic polytheism#hellenic polythiest#upg#unverified personal gnosis#athena#apollo#hestia#my post#coriander says#i wanted to work with pomegranate as a binder for the dye project since it's a geographically relevant plant but we couldn't find any ://

Exploring The Ruins Of Pompeii
Pompeii is SO big, but we were determined to see all of it. Follow along as we show you all the ruins, the amazing mosaic floors, and life as it was for Pompeiians 2000 years ago. If you'd like a guide to help you navigate Pompeii, we highly recommend this tour with an archeologist: https://www.getyourguide.com/pompei-l... This travel guide will walk you through all the sites in Pompeii, from the amphitheater to the House of the Geometric Mosaics to the incredible Casa del Menandro. From the Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Isis to the Forum and the plaster casts of the victims of the Mount Vesuvius eruption. We'll also give you helpful tips along the way to save you time and make sure you have a great experience when you visit the Pompeii ruins. We also wanted to show you how to get from Naples to Pompeii. Taking the train to the Pompeii Archaeological Site can be a little complicated because there are multiple train stations in Pompeii, so we show you exactly what tickets to buy and where to go to catch the train.

#at the point where im just straight up blocking people who keep telling me im wrong about being able to visit the titanic#because ''you can visit pompeii''#hey dude my guy#within the shipping community its accepted that if someone died in a shipwreck that wreck is their gravesite#and that we should not try to explore it because we are disturbing someones grave#family members and survivors have repeatedly said please dont do this kind of thing#i have a feeling these people did not look at any of the sources i included like ask a morticians video#like i get that you might think otherwise but most of the shipping community agree that these wrecks are gravesites#and they are not to be explored#many are protected by law#so keep your hypotheticals away from me#if you want to argue about it#go argue with the family members of the men who died on the edmund fitzgerald

‘Ancient Roman’ Solar Roof Tiles Power Pompeii Villa
Ancient Roman ruins at Pompeii have been fitted with invisible solar panels, in a move that will contribute to the archaeological site’s sustainability efforts and cut costs. The innovative panels, which blend into the background by imitating traditional materials, were installed on the House of Cerere, on a thermopolium — a Roman snack bar — and on the House of the Vettii, which recently reopened following 20 years of restoration work.
“They look exactly like the terracotta tiles used by the Romans, but they produce the electricity that we need to light the frescoes,” said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the archaeological park of Pompeii, in a press release.
Each year, 3.5 million tourists explore the vast ruins of the ancient Roman city, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. But due to Pompeii’s size, energy bills are expensive and conventional methods of providing power across the site can threaten its appearance.
“Pompeii is an ancient city which in some spots is fully preserved,” Zuchtriegel said. “Since we needed an extensive lighting system, we could either keep consuming energy, leaving poles and cables around and disfiguring the landscape, or choose to respect it and save millions of euros.” The new technology will help the archaeological site to cut energy bills and make it more enjoyable, he added.
The invisible solar panels — or “traditional PV tiles” as they are technically known — were created by the Italian company Dyaqua. They can be designed to appear like stone, wood, concrete or brick, and hidden on walls, floors and roofs, according to Elisabetta Quagliato, whose family owns Dyaqua, in the press statement.
“We are an archaeological site but we also want to be a real-life lab for sustainability and the valorization of intangible heritage,” Zuchtriegel said. “Our initiative is not merely symbolic. Through the million tourists who visit us every year, we want to send a message to the world: cultural heritage can be managed differently and in a more sustainable way.”
Other locations in Italy using the invisible solar technology are the commune of Vicoforte in Italy and, soon, Rome’s contemporary art museum Maxxi. Public buildings in Evora, Portugal, and Split, Croatia will also install the panels, according to the press statement.
Pompeii’s recent use of these panels is just the beginning, Zuchtriegel said. “From now on, we will be taking this solution into account for all future renovation and restoration projects.”

IIRC you also think DM happened in the past. Do you have a theory as to why Daniel's memory's were erased?
Are you ready for something insane???
I think it has to do with Marius de Romanus.
The epicenter of Armand is Marius. He is in every crack and corner of how Armand exists. His shadow falls over the dynamic of Louis and Armand in the show and Armand and Daniel in the QotD chapter. In the book, once Armand realizes Daniel truly loves him in Pompeii, what does he do? He resorts himself back into the role he knows, except he casts Daniel as Amadeo and himself as Marius. Daniel becomes fully dependent on Armand because isn't that what love is? Armand understands his love properly right when Daniel is dying so he turns him. Armand can't stomach turning Daniel (sounds like s2 finale babes) and Daniel loses his mind and ends up isolated in Marius' care.
1940s AMC Armand believes Marius dead. Does 2022 Armand? Timelines can change easily. He spent time with Lestat for the trial, it could have been revealed. Lestat would hold it over his head for making him do this. Or maybe, reveal it through a relationship with Daniel.
Armand makes sure the SF edit of memories allows him to flaunt he saved Daniel's life. This is important to him. Except, he didn't save Daniel's life at all in that apartment. Why is it important to Armand that Daniel (and Louis) believe this? Why is it important Armand can hold onto that? I think he really believes he saves Daniel's life, just not in SF.
In the books, Bianca, Daniel, Benji, Sybelle all become objects Marius takes from Armand. So if Marius did come to check up on Armand unseen (funnily enough he does so in Paris and it's in Paris that Daniel's memories start to form a coherent timeline again) and finds him in a relationship with a human boy? Oh no, Armand is Marius'.
Oh Amadeo, I've come to you again. You have a human companion? He is addicted to you, you hurt him, give him the Gift! Turn him or free him! You cannot love properly because that is your nature. Let me take care of this one for you, Amadeo.
There is a glaring neon sign stating the love has already happened because Armand turns Daniel in the show. He has no other reason to do so. Armand doesn't punish this way. Okay so past relationship, but Armand doesn't want Daniel in Dubai, except he is and he allows it. Why? The entire thing reeks of "I don't want this interview happening. I don't want you here, but I am weak and selfish and I wanted to see you again. I want you to remember me."
I think he believes he saved Daniel from a life of damnation and Armand by allowing Marius (or himself, but I don't think he is that strong in the Mind Gift) to remove the memories of their time. I free you from me and you can go onto live a life. I won't let you be cursed.
So yea, Marius. Show wise look at who is about to get the scoop on Armand and Marius through Lestat. You set up Armand as this false villain, Daniel starts realizing there is more memories missing, anger at Armand for taking more. Look at what you did to Nicki, look at what you did to Claudia and Louis, look at what you did to me. Drop the twist that Armand truly thought he was saving Daniel, start Armand's backstory/redemption arc, and you build them reuniting.
Devil's minion break up and reunite in the books, but that is never shown beyond a few lines. No way, this show wouldn't want a deep exploration of a human/vampire relationship. They're dramatists. Rolin Jones and co. have such a sandbox to play in with these two during the time Anne Rice doesn't write for them and that's why I think their timeline appears all over the place.
OH! Daniel sits by Marius' portrait in the dining room every time by the way. Also, crazy first name drop of a major character in a line from the episode titled "...after the phantoms of your former self" where only Armand is present in the scene.
Yea, I bet you never heard of him
