my least favorite (almost entirely joking) thing abt older anime is that the previews of the next episode used to just fuckin. tell you what major character deaths were going to happen next time and now I have to use all of my self-control to remind myself that I have work tomorrow morning and cannot stay up late enough to watch and then process [redacted] dying please I was going to be happy stopping here for the night without this knowledge

A lively song from the renowned medieval German poet, Neidhart von Reuental (ca. 1190- ca. 1237). Von Reuental belonged to the era of the Minnesaenger, singers singing about Minne, or love. Meie din liechte schin means May Your Light Shine.

Wien Reise

Wien ⋆ Donau Österreich Kultur Reise ⋆ Mythos einer Kaiserstadt

Wien Reise ⋆ Donau Österreich Kultur ⋆ Mythos einer Kaiserstadt

Wien ist immer eine Reise wert! Wohl über kaum eine andere Stadt gibt es so viele vorgefertigte Bilder wie über Wien: die Stadt der Operette, des Walzers und des Fiakers, eines Schubert und Beethoven oder das Wien, wo auch die »Gute Alte Zeit« noch immer ihren Platz hat. Diese Stadt aber so zu beschreiben, wie sie tatsächlich ist, ohne sie der Wirklichkeit zu entrücken, ist wohl ein schwieriges Unterfangen. Wien ist stolz darauf, auf eine große Vergangenheit zurückblicken zu können. Nicht zuletzt bedingt durch eine überaus günstige geographische Lage, spielte Wien durch nahezu zwei Jahrtausende eine bedeutsame historische Rolle: Wien, im Herzen Europas gelegen, liegt zwischen den Alpen und den Karpaten, wo sich im sogenannten Wiener Becken uralte Verkehrs- und Handelswege kreuzen. Wiens Seele lässt immer wieder neue Aspekte zu. Die Stadt wurde geprägt durch die Ausstrahlung verschiedenster Kulturen. Besucher sind immer wieder überrascht, wie hier das Widersprüchlichste zur Harmonie bewegt werden kann. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart bezeichnete Wien als den herrlichsten Ort für sich und sein Metier. Die Stadt sei der beste Ort der Welt, erzählte er jedem, den er kannte. Kaum anderswo ist das Studium der Architektur leichter als in dieser Donaustadt, wo sämtliche Stilarten und Stilepochen vorhanden sind. Berühmt sind die Wiener Malerschule, die seit dem 14. Jahrhundert besteht, und die Wiener Literatur, die ihren Ursprung auf »Fahrende und Scholaren« wie auf Neidhart von Reuental zurückführt. Besonders erwähnt sei aber auch der Minnesänger Walther von der Vogelweide (1170-1230), der bereits am Hof der Babenberger ein beredtes Zeugnis für die damalige Pflege der Musik und Dichtkunst in Wien ablegte. Kult sind die Wiener Kaffeehäuser, sie bilden gleichsam eine Insel der Seligen. Diese sind keine gewöhnlichen Lokale, in denen man nur Kaffee trinkt, nein, sie wollen sich vielmehr als Institution verstanden wissen, die zur Stadt gehören wie das Riesenrad oder der Stephansdom. Wien ist sicherlich immer eine Reise wert. Read the full article

if ur still doing the character meme: reinhard lotgh?

yessss thank u I have many thoughts abt him

Sexuality Headcanon: has never once been attracted to a woman ever in his life. tbf not sure he's ever knowingly been attracted to anyone who isn't kircheis. everything else is just. well he really wants another want to be a worthy rival/nemesis in a way that isn't not kind of erotic but like. it's not Just erotic it is also very much abt wanting to die in battle to a ~worthy opponent Gender Headcanon: so like. in canon I do think he's a cis man especially considering how strictly gendered the empire military is and he doesn't seem to have much space in his brain left over for exploring his gender. however I do sometimes enjoy rotating trans possibilities in my head and I am compelled by the thought of transmasc reinhard bc I think that. given his ambitions he knows that he needs to be in the military, which means he needs to be/pass as a man (and also given what happens to annerose I think he has specific motivation to not want to navigate the world as a women), and I do enjoy stories abt people who crossdress for plot reasons and then decide that they're trans actually A ship I have with said character: he and kircheis sure are in love A BROTP I have with said character: I am obsessed w his weird complicated friendship w hilde, how she's the closest thing he has to a friend but he doesn't fully trust her bc he doesn't fully trust anyone, her going against his orders to save his life at the end of season 2 and him thanking her but not being able to forgive him, their inevitable lavender marriage, their "butch hitting on a twink she thought was a butch" energy, A NOTP I have with said character: uncomplicatedly romantic het4het reinhard/hilda I guess? extremely important to that dynamic to me that they are a gay man and a lesbian. like I can't really see him properly dating anyone other than kircheis but like. I'm certainly not opposed or immune to any of the homoerotic potential of his relationship w like. reuental or whoever A random headcanon: I think it would be fun if he and kircheis used to cut each other's hair. y'know. the intricate rituals of it all. the intimacy & vulnerability, etc etc. trusting someone else to shape ur appearance and therefore ur public image. and that's partially of why he grows it out after kircheis dies General Opinion over said character: he's so beautiful and so sad and so terrible and I want to study him like a bug. love that he's like. not wrong that the aristocracy is bad except unfortunately he's so much a part of the society that created him that he doesn't have any other way of dealing with it except with more militarism & imperialism & autocracy which does not fix anything in the longterm and will lead to his inevitable and tragic downfall. and also I think it's funny when he makes policy decisions that help the people without seeming to actually like. especially care abt that and everyone is like "oh wow maybe dictatorships are good actually." but yeah in general I love it when characters are tragic and gay and fucked up. and also I cannot wait to see the continually unfolding consequences of letting a 24-year old with a death wish become the most powerful person in the galaxy

hi. could you recommend medieval literature? thank you :)

uuh, yes i can but that really depends on the fact if you can understand german! i dont know if there are english translations of it (i read them in dual language editions, with middle high german and new high german) - i only have read one book that is not german

But in case you can, here are the ones i read in the past year (the not german one is the last one):

Collection of poems by Walther von der Vogelweide - one of the most famous german speaking minnesänger, lived from 1170 - 1230, and has stolen my heart with his diss tracks to the pope; author of the Famous 'Palästinalied' written as propaganda during the crusades

Collection of poems by Neidhart von Reuental - another important german speaking minnesänger, born around 1180/90, so a younger contemporary of Walther, sings a lot about the 'stupid peasants' and how they try to emulate life of the nobles (great fun, the peasants hated him); the Neidhart persona was very self depricating, depticting an unlucky knight; my favourite song of his is 'Meie din liechter schin'

Der Ackermann by Johannes von Tepl - probably one of my absolute favourite books ever, written in the early 15th century as a story for a friend of Johannes von Tepl, who himself was an educated man from northern bohemia; technically already early new high german and not middle high german; the story is a dialogue between a man and death - the mans wife has just died and he starts insulting death, demanding to bring her back. it goes back and forth, and they discuss life, death, humanity creation, god and grief. i loved it

Ein kurtzweilig Lesen von Dil Ulenspiegel - written around 1515 by an anonymous author in early new low german; german speaking people are more familiar with the modern name Til Eulenspiegel. I grew up with the modern adaptations of the story, but the late medieval ones are so, so much more crude. it is a collection of short stories, telling the tale of Dil Ulenspiegel, a silly boy/young man who does silly things. a medieval comedy, nothing profound. the original print has nice wood cut illustrations. it was widely popular, because medieval people could read (although they couldn't necessarily write)

Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach - written around 1200-1210 in southern germany, picks up athurian legend. i am half way through and have personal beef with wolfram. but it is good, a lot of depictions of noble life and medieval morals and ideas. makes A LOT of references to other writers of the time, including Walther von der Vogelweide, Gottfried von Straßburg (see next book) and Hartmann von Aue (see below)

Tristan by Gottfriend von Straßburg - written around 1210, is the german adaptation of the tale of Tristan and Isolde. I have not read it yet, but the books are on my shelf to be read as soon as I am done with Parzival

Erec by Hartmann von Aue - written around 1180/90 is said to be the first arthurian story written in german and an adaptation of the old french Erec et Enide - same as above have not read it yet

Iwein by Hartmann von Aue - second arthurian story, written around 1200, also adaptation of the old french story - same as above i have to still read it

The tale of the two lovers by Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini (future Pope Pius II) - written in latin (there are english translations!) in the mid 15th century for a friend while at the court of Vienna, this is the most famous medieval erotic novel we have! It is about a married woman falling in love with one of the holy roman emperors men while they visit the town in italy she lives in, and the spicy affair they end up having, probably based on a similar story that happened. Aeneas lived a wild life and was old beyond his age, having 2 kids with two different women in two different countries out of wedlock and being a well travelled poet. he also hated women, like, A LOT. after he became pope he wanted to supress the circulation of the book, but is was a best-seller so it didnt work evidently, as i have read it in the 21st century

In addition to that, as a historical fencer I also read the sources, but these will be boring to people who dont care, but here are some anyways:

The Art of Swordsmanship by Hans Lecküchner - most famous source for Langes Messer techniques

Das Fechtbuch by Albrecht Dürer - yes, THE Dürer wrote a fencing book, completely in verse with nice illustrations!

Jude Lew - his fencing manuals are also nice, no illustrations only text

Hope this helps in a way.. again, i read mostly german medieval literature, so idk if this is useful as idk if any of these books have been translated
