Which is better, to have multiple heads or multiple tails?

In the fable of La Fontaine “The Dragon with Several Heads and the Dragon with Several Tails”, the multi-headed dragon gets caught in a thicket as it tries to squirm through, but the multi-tailed dragon passes by easily. Thus, we are told, it is better to have one strong leader and many followers than to have many equally powerful leaders.

Some illustrations of the dragon(s)!

✩₊˚.☾⁺₊Cere's f/o list ⋆｡°✩

Heya this is my official f/o list I'm really excited because I put a lot of effort and I do hope that I'll find people within the same franchise my f/os are from and bond over it!

This post includes my main f/os and might do a secondary one because Tumblr does not allow more than 10 images per post sadly, anyways have fun witnessing a lesbian fawn over fictional women<33

⋆｡°✩Please do keep this in mind!⋆｡°✩

٭ {still not done Wip}٭

٠ ࣪⭑I'm not comfortable with sharing my romantic F/os but I'm alright with sharing platonic ones ٠ ࣪⭑

Anyways let's get on with my lovely f/os

☾- romantic

⭑- platonic

Tooth fairy! - Reverse 1999 - ☾

Tooth Fairy works for the Foundation, looking after young Arcanists, taking care of their teeth, and dealing with anything that requires the assistance of a doctor.

Personal notes- I firstly fell in love with her when I was exposed to the game for the very first time around august of last year and she captured my eye in an instant! Her voice, her character design, her fascination with teeth reminded me of my fascination with skulls and I really saw myself in her. And once she was featured in the second update and got to understand her more I've came to appreciate her character and motives all that much more<3

I seriously cannot express how much I love and adore her she is such a personal comfort character for me to the point where her voice truly makes me relaxed

Song she reminds me of- 'Campbell'

Song she reminds me of - La Signora Battle theme

Isolde - reverse 1999- ☾

Exhibited in the early 20th century for 18 years. Completed in autumn, on November 23. First exhibited in Vienna, Austria, within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and later the exhibit was sealed and kept by St. Pavlov Foundation.

Personal notes- after playing the 1.7 update I have been starstruck by her character, she's such an impactful character within the story and I was left in pure admiration. Overall she has been my muse long before I read her story but now I can feel myself falling even deeper in love with her.

I still remember a year ago when Fontaines first trailer was released, and there she was, I was starstruck to say the least and promised myself to get her if she will even be released as a playable character (and I did get her<33). And my god she's such a complex character, morally grey and there's no way of explaining her in simple words, she deserves the world and I love her sm!

Arlecchino - genshin impact - ☾

She is the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the current director of the House of the Hearth. She is addressed as "Father" by members of the House, who she calls her "children."

Song she reminds me of - Vore by sleep token (sound warning!/srs)

Personal notes- Another one of my major muses, I remember how she captured my world in one of the earlier trailers of honkai star rail and my admiration for her still prevailed on to her release and got blessed by winning my 50/50 again even though I still don't know as much as I'd like I'm fine with my muse being a mystery, a enigma for me to understand and appreciate in all it's beauty and glory<33

Black swan - honkai star rail - ☾

Bears a warm smile and is willing to patiently heed the words of another, and thus uses such means as a pretext to enter "memories" and gain a comprehension over the flow of all information.

Song she reminds me of - Telescope by starset (my favourite band!)

Thelema - Honkai impact 3rd - ☾

At the mad banquet, pleasure is supposed to last forever, as the chains she put on you rattle on...

Personal notes- in all honesty she alone got me into hi3rd, from what I remember my first introduction to her was when I was scrolling through tiktok and there was a edit of her and I could not get it out of my head for a solid week, I was lucky enough to obtain her in her first rerun tho! Atm I'm trying to get through the main hi3rd storyline before I get to meet her at part 2 of the story and in all honesty I can't wait to find out more about her<33333

Vita - Honkai impact 3rd - ☾

Vita is a secondary character of Honkai Impact 3rd. She is first encountered within the bubble universe known as Salt Snow Holy City, believed to be one of its native citizens.

Personal notes- ok as I said earlier I still haven't processed through the story enough to fully understand her character but omfg I fell in love with her at first sight and honestly once I understand her character YOU BET I'm going to go on hour long analysis and gushing about her, gosh she's so gorgeous<3333333

And here's an extra category of characters that I'm questioning if I like them platonically, romantically or I'm simply fascinated and have a temporary crush on them :') it's hard to understand my feelings

TRICK OR TREAT RAYA!

TREAT!! In exchange for that cicada you gave me, you get a whole-ass fable by Jean de la Fontaine, La Cigale et la Fourmi (The Cicada and the Ant), which I learned in grade 5 French class:

La Cigale, ayant chanté Tout l'été, Se trouva fort dépourvue Quand la bise fut venue: Pas un seul petit morceau De mouche ou de vermisseau. Elle alla crier famine Chez la Fourmi sa voisine, La priant de lui prêter Quelque grain pour subsister Jusqu'à la saison nouvelle. « Je vous paierai, lui dit-elle, Avant l'Août, foi d'animal, Intérêt et principal. » La Fourmi n'est pas prêteuse : C'est là son moindre défaut. « Que faisiez-vous au temps chaud ? Dit-elle à cette emprunteuse. — Nuit et jour à tout venant Je chantais, ne vous déplaise. — Vous chantiez ? J’en suis fort aise. Eh bien ! Dansez maintenant. »

Translation by Yours Truly:

The Cicada, having sung All summer long, Found herself highly destitute When the cold wind had come: Not a single little piece Of fly or worm. She went to cry for food To her neighbor, the Ant, Begging her to lend her Some grain to subsist Until the new season. "I will pay you," she told her, "Before August, on animal oath, Interest and principal." The Ant is not a lender: There is the least of her flaws. "What were you doing during the warm weather?" She said to this borrower. "Night and day, to all who came, I sang, so please you.: "You sang? This greatly pleases me. Well, why don't you dance, now."

Happy Halloween!!

[frenchiefitzhere]

Do you have a favourite piece of art? What about it attracts your eyes to it?

There are a few that came to mind. One is The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and John the Baptist by Leonardo DaVinci. (I have a print of it hanging in my living room that I picked up at the National Gallery in London.) I don't talk about it much on Tumblr, but I'm pretty religious, so it means something to me in that respect, and I've always been drawn to images that refer to Jesus's humanity. I also love Auguste Rodin. The Gates of Hell will always be impressive to me just for the sheer amount of work that went into it, but I really, really love La Cathédrale because it's the kind of smaller piece that can just grab you as you're passing by in a museum. And the Musée Rodin in Paris is one of my favorite museums. Other sculptures I like include Apollo and Daphne by Bernini at the Galleria Borghese because the movement in it is just breathtaking. And Jean de La Fontaine in the Louvre is quirky and adorable and I think it's fun how many animals were worked into the sculpture. There's also a piece by Jay DeFeo that I won't list specifically by name because it would pretty much dox me, but I will always go out of my way to look at it again given the chance. My actual favorite piece is also one that I can't share for fearing of doxing myself because it's by my cousin who passed away. It's a black and white etching that I will always love because it's beautiful and grotesque, which is something he always balanced so well in his art. My printmaker cousin actually inspired my purchase of this piece (painted woodcut) from a little gallery in Ketchikan, Alaska: Owl Looking Out Over the Land by Karen Olanna , which I wanted because I've gotten to the point in my life that when I travel, I don't want to buy a bunch of dumb shit souvenirs that will end up in the trash someday: I'd rather invest in one thing that's truly unique. I love how the animals form the coast of the Pacific Northwest and, again, it's amazing to me how so much movement happens in a static piece of art. And the colors are doing their thing, too.

P.S. Also: everything anyone has ever made me as a commission or a gift or as fanart 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Auguste La Fontaine. – fbawtft character profile

Full Name: Auguste de La Fontaine

Birthdate: April 14, 1893

Blood status: Half-Blood

Nationality: French

Patronus: Thestral

BACKGROUND

Born into a wizarding family, Auguste grew up surrounded by magic. He used to be a bright and curious kid who always had a question. His cheeky and playful nature was adored by everyone, however it did not last long. When he was nine years old, he witnessed his mother committing suicide. The woman kissed her son one last time and expressed how much burden she had to face and he could never understand her feelings. Auguste tought it had to do something with social pressure or ranks. But in reality, his mother was just simply mentally ill and she never got the help she needed. With the memories he had of his mother, he was determined to find answers. Is it possible to bring his mother back? Is there any magical cure for mental illnesses? The only 10 years old boy burried himself in books and started to read. During his school years in Beauxbatons he had only a few friends, mostly the outcasts. He did not mind it though! After his graduation from the wizarding school, he continued studying to become a healer. In his free time he travelled and collected books about ancient magic and dark arts. Little did he know that he was seeking for something that did not exist...

MAGICAL INFOS

Wizarding school: Beauxbatons Academy of Magic

Wand: Blackthorn wood, Salamander Scale core, 11" and Surprisingly swishy

Patronus: Thestral

Best subject: Alchemy

Worst subjects: Flying, Dancing

Boggart: His mother dying

Riddikulus: He wasn't able to cast the spell

Amortentia: Old books, freshly washed linen, melted caramel, his mother's perfume

PERSONALITY

Positive traits: Determined, passionate, enthusiastic, curious, witty in a humorous way

Negative traits: Impulsive, sarcastic, sometimes a show-off, emotionally closed off

RELATIONSHIPS EXPLAINED

Love interest:

• Leonidas Malinda (@potionboy3): After hearing about Leon's bookshop, Auguste decided to take a portkey and travel all the way from France, only to pay a visit at the store. He was desperately seeking rare books about ancient magic. At first he did not tell Leon what this whole thing was about, but eventually he opened up about his childhood as he became a regular customer. Their friendship (and later romance) was the missing piece in Auguste's life that made him admit that mental health and depression can't be cured through magic.

Friends:

• None yet.

SOME FACTS

– He's a descendant of the famous French fabulist, poet and wizard Jean de La Fontaine.

– His sexuality is homosexual.

– Faceclaim is Hale Appleman (The magicians)

[nonovyabuisness]

With Fontaine being inspired from France, I really want to see a reference to the French song ‘La Seine’ from Vanessa Paradis especially the one from the movie ‘A monster in Paris’.

The original french version has lyrics that play on the shared prononciation of ‘La Seine’ (the river that passes through Paris) and ‘La Scène’ (meaning ‘the stage’).

This link is enhanced by the fact that everything happens on a stage wether it’d be a magic show, a play or a trial.

Anyway it is the 25th of August 2023, I hope I didn’t dig my own grave writing this. Have a good day/night…

Couche at 11. Lev. 1/2 p. 4. To the fontaine.¹ To the landing; no sloop going before to-morrow. Begin to be impatient to be off. Whilst I was dressing about 6 o'clock the maid, without knocking, a la suedoise,² brought in a stranger who addressed me in very good English; apologized for the liberty; that he had a great desire to know me, having read much about me in the newspapers. He gave me his address. Mr. Lars Clever, Huset No. 36 nast Råintmästarehuset vid Skepsbron;³ en trappur upp.⁴ I give it as a sample of the pretty little names of streets in Stockholm, as another, that in which is my lodgings, is called Malmskildnadsgatan. The gentleman tendered me civilities and said he should be in Stockholm on the 24th. It was not till yesterday that I learnt that I have been a subject of newspaper discussion for several weeks. What is said about me I have neither heard nor inquired. At 9 came in my amiable Prussian acquaintance, Barth, on his return from his Northern tour. He took charge of a letter for me for Hosack. At 12 called again at A.E. Afzelius; no one at home. Went on to the landing; no sloop going till to-morrow evening. Shall I wait so long or take a post-horse this evening to Sigtuna? The Directeur⁵ Afzelius enters; how charmingly he hates the ———, in which we agree, and we curse them by the hour together. He gave me a letter to Baron Hermelin, Nora, where I propose to stay to-night. 2 P.M. All my plans renversèd.⁶ A.E. Afzelius has been here and proposes to go with me to Stockholm by way of Sigtuna (the ancient and first capital of the country; dit the residence of Odin⁷) and Sköklaster if I will wait till Wednesday morning. The further inducements to wait are: First, that I am invited to pass the day to-morrow at the Landshofdingen’s,⁸ where I shall see les belles Baronnes;⁹ second, to attend the territorial court, to be held here to-morrow; third, to assist at the installment of a knight newly erected who, finding it inconvenient to go to Stockholm to be monted¹⁰ by the King in person, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to authorize his Excellency the Landshöfdingen to perform the cerimony¹¹ in his name and stead. After the cerimony,¹¹ a dinner. Now, I’m thinking that you'll not scold at this delay because I shall have something to tell you. Remember to ask me to relate to you the history of Baron Hermelin, M’Lean, and Baron Silver. To the Haradshöfding’s at 4 to talk law. Reste¹² to tea. Madame bien belle; had been extremely fortunate in her head-dress. Sang a great deal. Y une jeu. dam. divorcee;¹³ la souer et mere de Madame Afzelius. Off at 7. Promen.¹⁴ one hour with the Haradsbofding and home.

1  Fountain. 2  In the Swedish fashion. 3  Mr. Lars Clever, house at No. 36 next to (näst) the treasury (Räntmästarehuset) by Skepsbron (i.e., the wharf, quay). 4  For en trappa upp. Up one flight. 5  Director. 6  A hybrid perfect participle made from the French verb renverser, to turn upside down; hence, upset. 7  The chief of the Norse gods, the same as Wodan in German mythology. 8  The Landshöfding is a provincial governor, a lord-lieutenant. 9  The handsome baronesses. 10  Probably a hybrid verb from French monter, to raise; here, to raise to knighthood. 11  So in the MS. 12  Remain. 13  For Y une jeune dame divorcée, etc. There was there a young divorced lady, etc. 14  For promenade. Same meaning as in English.

Fantasy sights: Ingres

In my "fantasy read-list" I mostly focus on fantasy texts, but I also include things such as operas or movies. But there is a type of fantasy-inspiring or fantasy-made content I can't talk about in my list: paintings, illustrations, drawings, the original visual mediums. So this is where the "fantasy sights" series comes in, a complement-series presenting some paintings, illustrations and artists either born out of fantasy, or that inspired fantasy.

Let's start with some classics - classical paintings taking back subjects from the "primordial" fantasy of Greek myths, Shakespearian plays, Ossianic epics and more...

To start it all: Ingres. Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, one of the great French painters of the 19th century.

We begin with one of his most famous works, taken from Greek mythology, "Oedipus explaining the enigma to the Sphinx".

Following this, we have the painting "Roger saving Angélique". From the Orlando Furioso. I do not recall talking about this poem in my reading-list, and yet I should have - but this will be a "little surprise" for those that take the time to both look at the reading-list and watch-list.

The Orlando Furioso is an epic poem of the 16th century composed by the famous Italian poet, the Ariosto. This epic is very noticeable for being a mix of actual historical epic (the background is the war between Charlemagne and the Saracens), of medieval knight-and-warrior adventures (Merlin and Roland appear, among others), and of Greco-Roman motifs (the episode of the "Orco" is a retelling of the Cyclop's tale in the Odyssey, the enchantress Alcina is a perverse and evil Circe, and in the episode depicted here, the Saracen knight Roger saves the princess Angélique from a sea-monster the same way Perseus saved Andromeda from a sea-beast).

We move on to the Ossian-mania that swept Europe when his poems were "found" (wink wink) and translated (wink wink wink), and Ingres' very famous painting meant to illustrate this Celtic epic poetry: Le songe d'Ossian, The dream of Ossian.

We return to Greek mythology with this time another very famous piece of Ingres: Jupiter and Thetis. This is actually an illustration of Homer's The Iliad, depicting the very first chant, and how Thetis the sea-goddess left her watery dwelling to go to Olympos high up in the sky, in order to beg Zeus to spare the life of her son, the hero Achilles.

To match "The dream of Ossian" celebrating this Celtic poetry, I had to place Ingres' piece, "Homer deified, or the apotheosis of Homer", showing the ancient aedes Homer being crowned in front of all the great artists and storytellers of history (including actual modern writers and famous French figures - you can see Boileau, Molière, La Fontaine, Racine, Dante, Phidias, Pindar and many more...)
