"Voi cittadini mi chiamaste Ciacco;

per la dannosa colpa de la gola,

come tu vedi, a la pioggia mi fiacco."

—Dante Alighieri. Inferno, VI, 52–54 (1321)

 

"Ye citizens were wont to call me Ciacco;

For the pernicious sin of gluttony,

I, as thou seest, am battered by this rain."

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1867)

ÉTER who's ur oc Gabriella that you tagged in that post 👀 sorry if you've mentioned them before and I forgottttt (🫶🫶) but I'm curious now so feel free to ramble about this oc hehehehehe 👁️👁️

I have mentioned her but I've never really explained her! 👁️👁️

She's an oc from an old discarded fantasy story, I had trouble forming the worldbuilding and power system so it didn't go very far and are very vague. Resuming them the powers/magic were divided by two different energies, dark and light, most creatures in the kingdom were users of either in different levels. The only almost 'pure' users of dark magic were demons, the 'royals' (the users of almost pure light magic) became afraid of being overpowered by demons so they declared war on them, killed many, casted the rest to hide forever in a mountain hive and deemed every demon and dark magic users evil.

In all of this two humans appear in the kingdom, Olvido and Gabriella and soon discover that they are users of actually pure light and dark magic respectively, Olvido is the protagonist of the story who doesn't remember who she is, and Gabriella is the antagonist.

Gabriella is a lunatic and snappish young woman whose intentions are to take control of the kingdom and release the demons from their hive proclaiming herself their queen. She's a mastermind in what she does tho, taking social power and expanding the assigned demon territories at a rapid rate. She takes special interest in Olvido 👀, seemingly angry at her amnesia. She's always accompanied by her two closest allies, Ciacco the last standing demon in the kingdom and Carja a runaway fairy of laughter. The reasons behind her goals are a mystery to everyone but she'll do anything to achieve them, from conquering town after town to carving her own skin with demonic runes in her proclamation of Queen of Demons

Overall the story was a bit generic and vague that's why I discarded it but I like to come back to it from time to time because I liked the geography of the world and some of the races and characters I made up for it and the dynamics between Olvido and Gabriella and the concepts behind their characters. I'm not sure I'll ever continue it but they're still a recurring daydream!!

Also here is Gabriella

hey, can you do a circles of hell post like the heaven one?

The Nine Circles of Hell 😈🔥

Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy is divided into 3 parts: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno presents us with the popular concept of Nine Circles of Hell.

Ante-Inferno

Think of this as the Ground Lobby for Hell.

The Gates of Hell have this inscription: "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate" (Abadon all hope, ye who enter here)

Souls who couldn't choose between good and evil reside here, tortued and chased by hornets and snakes. (Seems like indecision is also a sin, haha)

There are angels here as well who chose to be on the side of neither good and evil, and they're also tormented.

After crossing the river on the boundary for hell with Charon, you meet the first level of hell:

First Circle: Limbo

The first circle is home to the unbaptized and virtuous pagans, who simply didn't know that Christ exist.

These souls have lived morally, but failed to accept Christiantiy as a religion

No physical torture, but waves of sadness flow through the souls, lamenting the fact that they're close to Heaven but aren't in it.

Retirement community of the afterlife: Hippocrates, Aristotle, Virgil, Homer, Horace, Ovid, Socrates, Plato, Saladin

Second Circle: Lust

The wind-buffeted second circle of Hell is the final destination of the lustful and adulterous.

Souls are blown about in a violent storm, without hope of rest. They are torn in a raging storm and thrown against rocks.

Cleopatra and Helen of Troy were among its most famous residents. Francesca da Rimini and her lover Paolo.

Third Circle: Gluttony

Those who overindulge themselves are forced to lie in vile, freezing slush, guarded by Ceberus

Unable to move, they lay on the ground forever while being hurled with sweage and dirt.

Ciacco of Florence is here.

Fourth Circle: Avarice & Prodigality

This section of Hell is reserved for the money-grubbers and overly materialistic among us. Those who hoarded money come here.

The greedy battle each other, forever rolling giant boulders on each other. When they push the heavy weights, it rolls back and the process starts all over again.

Plutus guards them.

Fifth Circle: Wrath & Sulllenness

Dante tells us that the wrathful and angry souls of this circle spend eternity waging battle with each other on the banks of River of Styx.

The sullen are forced to breath below the dark waters, chocking on the black mud derived from the world above.

Fillippo Argenti is here.

───〃★ Door to Lower Hell: gate guarded by fallen angels ★〃───

Sixth Circle: Heresy

Heretics spend eternity entombed in flaming crypts in the sixth circle. Think of a graveyard with burning tombstones.

Heresy is the sin of having beliefs opposed to the Christian belief, which can be a little vague in modern times.

Florentines Farinata degil Uberti and Cavalcante de' Cavalvanti are here.

Seventh Circle: Violence

The Seventh Circle is sub-categorized into 3 smaller rings: Oter, Middle and Inner.

The outer ring is filled with blood and fire and reserved for murderers and thugs. Centaurs guard the Outer Ring, shooting criminals with arrows.

The middle ring is where, according to Dante, suicide victims go. They’re transformed into trees and fed upon by harpies.

The inner ring, a place of burning sand, is reserved for those who are violent against God and nature (blasphemers)

Eighth Circle: Fraud

Geryon, a creature symbolizing fraud, welcomes you to the eighth circle. He has a human face, a scorpion tail and giant wings.

The eighth circle is subdivided into ten trenches, where you’ll find con artists of all sorts. These trenches are called Malebolge (Evil pockets) and each contains different types of criminals who commited fraud.

Panderes and seducers, flatterers, sorcerers, false prophets, liars, thieves, people who created false money, counterfeits, impersonators, schismatics, etc. reside here.

Ninth Circle: Treachery

The final circle is a frozen wasteland occupied by history’s greatest traitors. Betrayers of are frozen in a lake of ice, and most of Satan's body is also immersed in ice.

It is divided into 4 stages: (1) Caina - traitors to family (2) Antenora - traitors to nation or politicians (3) Ptolomaea - hosts to betray theiur guests (4) Judecca - those to betray their lords/masters.

In the very center, Satan punishes the greatest betrayers of all time: Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ, and Brutus and Cassius who betrayed Julius Caesar.

Satan has three mouths, each of which eats a specific person: with left and right devouring Brutus and Cassius and the centre mouth devouring Judas.

"Ciacco è senza ombra di dubbio uno dei personaggi per me più belli dell'Inferno, più di Francesca o Paolo, più di Farinata, quasi più dell'accorato Cavalcanti (forse Ugolino e Ulisse e Brunetto stanno insieme a lui tra i preferiti). Ciacco è stato il mio primo amore dantesco, tanto che ricordo lo stupore quando leggendo un brano di Se questo è un uomo ritrovai le parole "e alla pioggia mi fiacco", che mi portarono subito in mente Inf VI.

Per me egli è l'emblema dell'umano nella Commedia. In Ciacco, nella sua nostalgia, nel suo stare zitto, nel suo accorato appello finale, nel suo starsene nel fango permane qualcosa di così profondamente umano, e genuinamente creaturale che si concentra nelle sue espressioni "lo dolce mondo" e "l'aria serena". La grandezza dello stile Dantesco sta in queste due espressioni semplici, limpide, umane, pronunciate appunto da una persona qualsiasi, uno di quelli che trovi al bar, con cui scambi due parole, che ti fa sorridere, che ti colpisce per l'arguzia, per il suo amore smodato per il cibo, uno che ama vivere appieno le gioie della vita, una specie di Falstaff prima di Falstaff e che proprio come l'eroe di Shakespeare si strugge di nostalgia e si dispera non tanto per la condanna infernale quanto perché non vedrà il dolce mondo, e l'aria serena: Ciacco è un uomo a tutti gli effetti, la grandezza di Dante sta nell'avercelo mostrato completamente."

Demetrio Paolin

If you're looking for a way to continue your cheese tour, I suggest trying Ciacco, both the shop and the restaurant are pretty close to Termini. Their charcuterie boards (usually only available at aperitivo time) tend to include weird cheeses and I'm pretty sure you can ask to not get pork on your plate if you want to keep kosher. Otherwise, it's not really cheese but Fonzie's is a Jewish kosher fast food chain and the main one is close to the Synagogue. My personal favourite is the crispy royal. Also, Ercoli and La Tradizione are well-known for their wonderful selection of cheeses. If you want other food suggestions ask away

Anon, I want you to know that I did see this while I was in Rome, I just didn't get a chance to try Ciacco or Fonzie's -- but I did see Fonzie's several times on the map, and if I'd had one more day I would definitely have hit one or both, so I'm taking notes for next time :D Thank you!

Los nueve círculos del infierno

La Divina Comedia, escrita entre 1304 y 1321, es un poema dividido en tres partes que cuenta el viaje del Peregrino, alter ego de Dante, por el Infierno, Purgatorio y Paraíso, acompañado por Virgilio y Beatriz. La obra se divide a su vez en cantos y está repleta de simbolismos y alegorías de temas religiosos como la salvación, el amor divino y la ética cristiana.

En la primera de las tres cánticas, conocida comúnmente como El infiero de Dante, el Peregrino es guiado por el espíritu del poeta Virgilio a través del infierno.

A través de 33 cantos, en esta sección se describen los castigos que reciben los pecadores. De acuerdo con la obra de Dante, el infierno está dividido en nueve círculos, cada uno contenido dentro del otro. A cada uno le corresponde un castigo de acuerdo al tipo de pecado.

Primer círculo (Limbo)

Es el círculo más extenso del infierno. Aquí yacen los paganos virtuosos y las personas que fueron buenas pero que por no haber sido bautizadas no pueden entrar al cielo. Dante lo describe como un lugar con prados y castillos.

Castigo: Sentir el deseo nunca satisfecho de conocer a Dios.

Personajes ilustres: Homero, Aristóteles y Platón, Averroes.

Segundo círculo

Aquí se encuentra la puerta al verdadero infierno, donde son juzgados los recién llegados. En el segundo círculo están las personas que en vida se dejaron arrastrar por la lujuria.

Castigo: un fuerte viento que sopla sin descanso y arroja a los habitantes de este círculo al suelo y paredes.

Personajes ilustres: Aquiles, Tristán, París, Cleopatra, Helena.

Tercer Círculo

Aquí se castiga a quienes pecaron de gula.

Castigo: Una fuerte lluvia mezclada con granizo cae sobre los pecadores. El monstruo de Hades, Cerbero, desgarra a quienes habitan en este tercer círculo.

Personajes ilustres: Ciacco

Cuarto círculo

En el cuarto círculo habitan aquellos que apreciaban y acumulaban muchos bienes materiales. También están los que derrochaban mucho.

Castigo: empujar grandes y pesados objetos a lo largo del círculo y chocar constantemente con otros grupos.

Quinto círculo

Es una laguna donde moran las personas iracundas y los perezosos.Castigo: Los iracundos están inmersos en el fango de su ira,condenados a golpearse entre ellos. Los perezosos se ahogan hundidos.

Personajes ilustres: Filippo Argenti

Sexto círculo

Se encuentra dentro de los muros de la ciudad de Doti, vigilada por una multitud de diablos y por las furias Magera, Alecto y Tisífone, espíritus de la venganza. Aquí son castigados los herejes, quienes persisten en violar los dogmas y la autoridad de la Iglesia.

Castigo: Los pecadores de este círculo están condenados a yacer en sepulcros destapados.

Personajes ilustres: Farinata degli Uberti, Cavalcante dei Calvancanti.

Séptimo círculo

Resguardado por un minotauro, a partir de este círculo se encuentran los pecadores que se entregaron a la malicia. Se divida en tres anillos: de homicidas y criminales; de los violentos contra sí mismos; y de los blasfemos, sodomitas y usureros.

Castigo: Los pecadores del primer anillo están hundidos en un río de sangre hirviendo; los del segundo son convertidos en árboles que son picoteados y desgarrados por harpías; los del tercero están en un desierto ardiente con una lluvia de llamas.

Personajes ilustres: Brunetto Lattini, Jacopo Rusticucci.

Octavo círculo

Aquí se castiga a los pecados relacionados con el fraude y traición. Se llega a este círculo descendiendo de un gran acantilado resguardado por un monstruo alado de tres cabezas. De acuerdo con el nivel de fraudes, los pecadores se acomodan en diez recintos.

Castigo: varía de acuerdo a los recintos, la mayoría incluye torturas con fuego.

Personajes ilustres: Ulises, Diomedes, Guido da Montefeltro.

Dante's Inferno - The Boatman Phlegyas and Filippo Argenti

Divine Comedy by Gustave Doré

NOTE: Dante is learning as he travels deeper into the Inferno. Previously, he pitied Francesca da Rimini and Ciacco, but he has no pity for Filippo Argenti. Virgil approves of Dante’s righteous anger.

Outside Ciaccos. Before the royals have arrived to hold their celebration, Laocoön is alone, peering in the window nervously.

Tonight he's in luck. Eury has taken pity on him. She hands the ragged man a glass of water, smiling. Her good deed for the day. He smiles diffidently in return.

She returns to her duties, and Laocoön lingers. He peers at the prices on the menu, and pats down his pockets for change. The ragged man still has some pride.

His face brightens as he finds a coin. He brings it out of his pocket, to leave on the table.

But wait. It's not a coin. It's a small statue, metal. A horse. The first portent of many, of what's to come.

He's a demon of greed, he's a manwhore, he's the most manipulative creature alive, he's best friends with two 17 y/o goth girls, he's just a silly guy, he's the last demon standing in this realm, no one knows how he's made it this far, it's because he's most likely fucking the king, his name means pig
