hi i would love to let you know that in renaissance florence it was actually incredibly rare for someone to be executed for sodomy, at most they would be given a fine! in fact, the term "Florenzer" was used to describe someone who routinely participated in those sort of activities!

theres actually some really interesting articles written about sodomy laws in renaissance italy (mostly focusing on florence and venice since what they were doing was kinda wild in comparison to the rest of italy)

- thats-by-the-by

As you said in this

İn a fic where Leonardo da vinci is thirsting after the 2012 Desmond and the fictional character Ezio i dont reallt think historic accuracy matters most 😭

I appriciate the infos tho bc Ik a lot of people in this fandom are history nerds too i bet, so they would also like this info and prob use it better than me 😭

I know Ottoman queer stuff like back of my hands but never researched european queer history :9 wasnt interested

HAPPY THUNDER THURSDAY!!!

Fun History fact about John: He was born in 11 AD and died in 99 AD (making him 88 years old), meaning John lived through THIRTEEN ROMAN EMPERORS! Augustus died when John would’ve been just three years old (Jesus would’ve been nineteen) and John died shortly after Trajan became emperor!

So basically John’s life can be summed up like this:

so about the "history with tryna start a renard discography" i basically began working on linking his first few albums on my old "all soundcloud lapfox playlists" doc where i just. Worked on looking for lapfox stuff on soundcloud for fun. back in november 18 2023 i began with renard and uhh my first thats when i had my first "discovery" when doing this whole research thing. i didnt know about renards trauma megamix so i just put an indent cuz i had no idea what to do with the mixes 😛 after this i tried again around april-may 2024 to start working on this but i just didnt wanna do such a large playlist at the time. here in the doc i still have the shit i used to keep track of my azrael and kitsune^2 playlists . i dont really use this anymore since i just make a fresh doc for whoever im working on but it still has the work for deuteronomy (which i chose to "research" first for some reason) and ill probably use it if i make a doc for them

2 años, la madurez no le llega a todos al mismo tiempo.

En los últimos dos años la vida me dio una arrastrada, creo que hablo por todos cuando digo “siempre hay algún momento de la vida en el que parece que nada puede llegar a empeorar”, ciertamente muchos nos sentimos identificados con esto, todos tenemos algún pasado oscuro del que nos avergüenza hablar.

Quiero compartirles de como la cague y la seguía cagando a pesar de ver las cosas tan obvias.

Entre el 2012 aprox.

Conocí a la persona que más tarde se convertiría en mi pareja, cuando nos conocimos claramente me gustaba ya que siempre fue una persona carismática y como mujer a las chicas nos encanta que tengan buena personalidad, y para mi en ese entonces el tendría a lo que se le llamaría una personalidad atractiva, siendo jóvenes creemos que se puede solo vivir de unos cuanto besos, abrazos y unos “te amo” aunque realmente no conozcamos el significado de esa palabra, muchos tardamos en entender el verdadero significado y peso que esta tiene.

Por ahí del 2012 mi abuela fue invitada a una boda de parientes políticos, nos tocaba quedarnos con la familia del novio quienes eran muy amigables, obviamente más familiares llegaron y mi abuela se había ofrecido a ayudar, entonces yo siendo algo aburrible fui a buscar donde distraerme o pasar el tiempo, ahí fue cuando lo vi llegar estando sentada en el patio sobre una gran montaña de tierra, ambos nos miramos por bastante tiempo hasta que su prima nos presentó (desde entonces me habría parecido tierno), siendo atento y bastante hablador el chico se gano mi corazón aunque jamas ninguno dio un paso, más tarde después de la boda teníamos que separarnos y para ese entonces fue tan triste, recuerdo haber llorado por que quería más tiempo a su lado, siempre fue muy ocurrente y alegraba mi corazón.

Corazoncito si quieren seguir leyendo la historia

Stories from mini-hell 1

As part of the anniversary week I have compiled all the interesting stories (to say nothing else) that comics and fanfic have brought to this small fandom.

Story narrated by Elgu herself:

Let's see.

When I was still in high school, a teacher gave us a project and since I already had my little group of friends, between them and me we were going to do it. The thing is that none of them had a computer to do the project but me, so I offered to do the project at my house.

At that time there were 3 friends, of the three I was the only girl in the group, so what would happen?

The thing is that I had already learned about the story of the little star, so I was giving her encouragement to continue it. Anyway, even at home and with the computer open the creation of the project began, half an hour later I suggested something to eat so I went to get some snacks.

When I came back they were looking attentively at the screen without saying a single word, I approached them and oh surprise! I had forgotten to close WhatsApp web, so they were reading every chapter of the comic mame of Arceus and Damos.

The strange thing was that when they noticed my presence they didn't notice any disturbance, only anger; because Arceus is the passive one! And from that moment on they wanted to cut off the head of the little creator star.

In short, that is it, although according to my friend they were also hurt and horrified to see Arceus less authoritarian and more "chicken-hearted"(his complaints are all contrary to those of my cousin) and make Damos and Arceus look so cute together only to end up splitting them up. Although they mainly complained about Arceus' tastes in bed, how funny and terrifying those three were to me.

Apparently, back in the day, there was a really notorious tie in novel for Star Trek that had a lot of slash elements called Killing Time

The slash elements were requested to be removed by Paramount, and they were, BUT due to a mistake, the original was sent to print without the edits

When it was caught, they’d printed 250k of this “first edition” which subsequently became collectors items for Kirk/Spock fans, since later editions DID include the edits censoring the slash

NOW, I bring this up because my friend who’s into the original Star Trek found and was reading the first edition at the desk at the library we work at, cause we’re slow on weekends and we’re the only ones here. She laughs at it, so I ask and she tells me about the general backstory of the book, and that she laughed because (among other things) Kirk, who doesn’t get mad in the og series really, was being described as hot headed and apparently just getting into fights left and right

So I’m looking over her shoulder at the scene, commenting on the character changes that resemble modern fic-degradation of characterization for the sake of a shipping dynamic, when I realize something

Now, my only interaction with the Star Trek series directly was the 2009 reboot, and my friends hasn’t seen those and is only interested in the originals. As I’m looking at this scene, and my friend is pointing out the character changes to Kirk, I realize that this is the fucking premise of the reboot, down to the fucking alternative timeline shenanigans, the rank swap, and Kirk being a hotheaded fuck up

The 2009 film was literally based on this slash fiction misprint they tried to bury!

Im reeling.

I can’t be the only one who made this connection.

So I google to see if anyone else has, and oh yes, good, there was someone

The fucking author of Killing Time

…I feel like I’ve uncovered a conspiracy. I’ve still got 3 hours left in my shift and I can’t focus. The world must know.

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
