What blows my mind is that Dante may have casually admitted to having homosexual desires in Canto 16 of the Inferno, where he sees sodomites and wishes to literally throw himself into the flames to join them, but he fights the urge and says, "And then I spoke: ‘Repulsion, no, but grief for your conditions spread throughout my heart (and years will pass before it fades away)...'” Like, Bro???????????? Am I reading this correctly?

What's even crazier is that he says Virgil would have let him. Fucking Virgil. Like whadhdtahwhat?? Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I can't remember a single canto in which Virgil would approve of Dante putting himself in physical danger. That is so crazy to me. 

Thinking about this in terms of Virgil = Guido and my brain explodes. 

It's true!

Dante says that he sees three people rushing towards him ("like champions do, naked and oiled, studying their grip before they come to blows and thrusts between them" .ahem.) and Virgil says that if it weren't for the fire it would actually be more becoming if it were Dante rushing towards them rather than the contrary. And a few lines later Dante says that if he weren't terrorized he would throw himself amongst them and hug them, and Virgil would've allowed it.

There are two things that strike me. The first is that a central theme with sodomites is dignity. Contrary to literary tradition of the time where the punishment of sodomites was often described in quite brutal terms and involved the torture of genitals, Dante is much more delicate and his focus is not on the perversion of their lust but on the fact that those corrupted are prestigious people. With Brunetto Latini Dante insists on his intellectual dignity, and only with the three sodomites of canto XVI their nakedness is highlighted, but the comparison says everything about how we need to interpret it: they look like wrestlers, like champions. There is no belittlement in this image but clelebration (and Brunetto was compared to a champion too). In a way I would compare them to Farinata degli Uberti (canto X) in the way they deserve respect, but with the difference that with Farinata we still see the flaws of his character, his pride and his attachement to his lost life, while the three sodomites do not talk about themselves but are rather interested in the state of Florence's customs — are florentines still courteous and valorous? (spoiler no)— Again, what seems to be relvant to Dante is not the sin per se but how frequent it is amongst respectful people. The subtext is saying: sodomy does not make a person a vile subhuman being — contrary to, for example, robbers who become one with snakes and where Vanni Fucci, one of them, openly insults God. — This is all a very unusual and original approach.

Then we have, as you said, sympathy. Dante not only respects them, but feels like he's part of them. Just like in Limbo, where he meets famous poets and he joins them as they form a circle and discuss poetry because Dante is a poet himself, here the three form a circle around Dante ("fénno una rota di sé tutti e trei", "they wheeled round all three", l.21) and he wishes to hug them and they speak of virtues thus demonstrating they are not subhuman because....Dante is one of them and he too is not subhuman but is deserving of respect?

All of this, of course, from the earthly, skewed perspective of Dante-character who's too weak to condemn people who share his same sins. God very much punishes them not only because we are in Hell but because there might be, as we have said, the full reversal of Guido's poem.

To sum up, I am a sodomite-Dante truther.

[NSB HEADCANONS] - you celebrating your birthday with them

pov: this is what i think the boys would do to clelebrate your birthday

warnings: none that i can think of :)

type: wholesome

members: all of them in a big hc :)

reblogs and likes are very appreciated!

so.. i heard it was your birthday..?? 😏

well, if it is then happy birthday :)

and if not, then this is what i think the north star boys would do to celebrate and organize your special day!

(rest under the cut!!)

obviously, when the guys decided to organize you a birthday party, they wanted to have a proper plan

like in the movies where each characters has something to do lol

and i think that's what kane would do :)

i know it may sounds boring, but hey hear me out

kane is a perfectionnist

he is the best to do plans and stuff like that :)) so i'm sure he would be like "okay, seb you're doing that!" or like "ryan, you're going to distract y/n while we're organizing everything"

he would only create fun stuff such as activities

like the one where you have to place the tail of the donkey on the donkey (i forgot the name) without seeing anything

basically games to play before the big party happens :))

so i think it'll be perfect for him!!

ofc, like every good party, the place should be decorated!

and who wanted to do this job? ladies and gentleman, our favorite tallest boy.. sebastian moy

we know he's tall

he ate his vegetables when he was younger because this man is literally 6'4 🙄

since he's very tall, it'll be perfect to put stuff on high shelf or like put some posters or flag around the house to say "hey it's y/n's birthday!!" or smth like that

plus he didn't want to clean and organize the house

of course, it'll be boring if nobody was there.. so ofc someone needed to do the invitations!

and i think regie would do it!!

we know how good regie is for creating something with his hands or like do something related to art

like he's so creative

so like old times, he took pieces of papers and made invitations

he knew he could have just asked your friends by texts, but like isn't it more fun and cute to receive invitations by the post and to read "Y/N BIRTHDAY'S PARTY!!"

plus, it was a birthday surprise so..

and we know, regie..

he's the type of the guy to let his phone open, so no no no

he didnt want to take a risk

plus invitation cards are super cute

at least to me 😭

idk it's like nostalgic

of course, it'll be weird if you were going to be at your house while the boys was there to like organize your house, so that's why ryan would take you shopping!

i mean..

this boy had a job: keep you busy at target for like 3 hours so everything could be ready

and let's say it worked out pretty well!

weirdly, when ryan realized you were both done with shopping and there was only 1h left before letting you go back home, he decided to take the time to examine every controllers...

but hey, it was worth it because in the mean time, oliver did all the snacks on the table for the guest :)

he was super excited and although he's not the cook in nsb, this man can cook

he made all your favorites

he wanted your birthday to be something unforgetfull

darren, the cooker of nsb, did the cake

everybody in nsb (or at least know) can know basically a bit of everything, but to me, cooking cake screams darren

plus, we're talking about darren

he's a great cook!

he made your favorite flavored cake ;)

lastly, ofc we needed to have some music for your birthday..

we couldn't just celebrate a birthday with northstarboys without a single piece of music 🥳

so justin did the music playlists

he checked EVERY spotify (or any music app you have) playlist you had and searched in your "most played" song, just so he could put them in your spotify birthday playlist

like isn't he so cute??? :(

to me, justin is the one who have the most 'taste' in music

i mean, every boys in the groups have great music taste, but i think jp would be the one creating the playlist because he listen to basically every thing.

it could be rap, kpop, anime songs, hip-hop song, r&b.. he listen to basically everything, so this man know the goods songs

plus he feels like he would be the type to create music playlists for his closed ones

so that's it for your birthday hc!! hope you liked it <3

have an amazing birthday!

Lucy’s PLANET OF THE APES

The Simian Citizens of the Lucyverse

During her long career on television, Lucille Ball worked with nearly every species of animal - but none more frequently than simians: monkeys, chimps, apes, gorillas, and even the rare (but fictional) gorboona!  

“The Amateur Hour” (1952) ~ Lucy says she’d babysit a baby gorilla for $5 an hour - but she hasn’t yet met the horrible Hudson twins!  Her words will come back to haunt her in future incarnations of the Lucy character. 

“Lucy Buys Westinghouse” (1958) ~ Desi Arnaz takes a Westinghouse representative on a tour of Desilu Studios (formerly RKO). At the props department Viv and Bill show off the model of Mighty Joe Young from the 1949 RKO film of the same name. 

In this promotional film for Westinghouse executives, however, they refer to it as King Kong, another RKO film about a huge gorilla made by the same creative team. Lucie Arnaz remembers playing with the model as a child when set loose at Desilu Studios to play. 

“Bilko’s Ape Man” (1959) ~ Lucille Ball guest stars in an 8 word cameo on “Sergeant Bilko” aka “The Phil Silvers Show” aka “You’ll Never Get Rich.”  In it, a fitness instructor is placed in Bilko’s platoon. To get rid of him (and to make some money) Bilko tries to get him cast in a Tarzan movie. Bilko tries to fix it so his man wins the Mr. Universe contest. First step: he hires a woman (Lucille Ball) to scream when his man goes on stage. When this fails, he dresses Private Doberman (Maurice Gosman) up in a gorilla suit to fight his ‘Tarzan’. Colonel Hall (Paul Ford) sees the 'gorilla’ and soon has the whole camp hunting for him.

“Lucy and Viv Take Up Chemistry” (1963) ~  At night school chemistry class, Lucy gets carried away trying to invent a youth serum.

LUCY: “Shouldn’t we test it on a monkey first?”  VIV: “If there’s one thing the world doesn’t need, it’s younger monkeys.”

“Lucy and the Monsters” (1965) ~ Lucy and Viv have a dream about monsters after seeing a horror movie. In the dream, the maid of a haunted house is a gorilla named Loretta, played by George Burrows. Burrows played a gorilla in his very first screen credit, Tarzan and His Mate (1934). He donned the gorilla suit 18 more times from 1954 to 1978. His final simian character was on “The Incredible Hulk.”

“Lucy and Art Linkletter” (1966) ~ Lucy is picked from Art Linkletter's studio audience and challenged not to utter a sound for 24 hours to win $200. Linkletter arranges for various shocking events to occur at her apartment to get her to speak, including the attack of a giant gorilla named Hilda. George Burrows returns to play Hilda. 

“Lucy and the Monkey” (1966) ~ Mary Jane warns an over-worked and over-tired Lucy that she could start having hallucinations. Meanwhile, Mr. Mooney gets a visit from his old college friend who has a monkey for a show business partner. Lucy sees the monkey and thinks it is Mr. Mooney!

Janos Prohaska played Max the Monkey. He was an actor, stunt man, and animal imitator who is probably best remembered as the talking cookie-mad bear on “The Andy Williams Show” (1969), although due to his thick Hungarian accent, his voice was dubbed. 

He returned to play animals in three episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Prohaska died in a plane crash in 1974.

“Lucy Goes to a Hollywood Premiere” (1966) ~ On the red carpet posing as an usher, Lucy meets a variety of clelebrities, including Mimi Van Tyson (Beverly Powers) and Coconuts Mulligan (George Barrows), stars of the movie “Love in the Jungle”.  This is Barrows’ third and final female gorilla on the series. 

Coconuts goes rogue when she sees Lucy’s yellow autograph book and thinks it is a banana! 

“Lucy the Babysitter” (1967) ~ Lucy takes a job as a babysitter not knowing that they are baby chimps!  They are played by The Marquis Chimps.

The rambunctious chimps tire out Lucy with their antics. Lucille Ball was forced to improvise based on the behavior of the chimpanzees. 

The Marquis Chimps began appearing on television in 1955. They appeared in several TV commercials and on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”  The chimps were the stars of the sitcom “The Hathaways” (1961-62) in which a suburban couple kept three performing chimps as their children. The program lasted just one season on ABC. The act's last TV appearance was in 1976.

One of the toys in the chimp’s bedroom is Clancy the Great, a plastic-cast roller skating monkey, not unlike the Marquis Chimps, who also roller skate. Clancy had pose-able arms and a removable cap to accept tips! It was manufactured by Ideal Toys in 1963.

“Viv Visits Lucy” (1967) ~ On the Sunset Strip, Lucy and Viv track down a wayward Danfield boy to a hipster club named The Hairy Ape. 

“Lucy Gets Jack Benny’s Account” (1967) ~ Lucy sets out to convince notorious miser Jack Benny to become a depositor at the bank. But first, they have to build a vault secure enough to satisfy Benny. One of the extreme methods of guarding the vault is Irving the Gorilla (who is managed by Benny). Although the actor inside the gorilla costume goes uncredited, it may be inhabited by George Barrows. 

“Lucy’s Safari” (1968) ~ When a rare ‘Gorboona’ escapes from The Topanga Zoo, the Carters help a big game hunter (Howard Keel) trap him.

A ‘gorboona’ is a rare, nearly extinct, cross between a GORilla and a baBOON. Janos Prohaska returns to play the Gorboona.

“Lucy, the Helpful Mother” (1969) ~ Kim and Craig babysit for an entire pet shop - transporting all the residents to Lucy’s living room - including Irving, a baby chimpanzee. 

Lucy sings a lullaby to the chimp:

“Rock-a-bye Irving Hark to my chant. You’re kinda cute But you’re no Cary Grant.”

“Lucy and Viv Visit Tijuana” (1970) ~  Lucy, Harry and Vivian go sightseeing in Tijuana, but are stopped at the border after agreeing to take back a plush monkey that turns out to be carrying contraband!  

“Lucy Cuts Vincent’s Price” (1970) ~ Lucy visits horror maestro Price to get a painting appraised and he thinks she is auditioning for a part in his new horror film. This monkey corpse is one of the most unusual props in the mansion - if not all of the Lucyverse!

“Lucy and the Raffle” (1971) ~  At the permit bureau, a stone-faced woman at the back of the line (Jody Gilbert) gets snide with Lucy.

LUCY: “Thank you Mrs. Kong. Give my regards to your son, King.”  

King Kong (1933) was a Hollywood film about a giant gorilla that attacked Manhattan.  A sequel titled Son of Kong was released that same year. 

“Lucy in the Jungle” (1971) ~ The Carters swap houses with a couple from the African jungle. The house comes with pets Fido and Rover - not dogs - but baby chimps. 

When Harry sees Fido and Rover, he reminds Lucy and Kim that King Kong started out as a baby, too! Fay Wray, one of the stars of the original film, also made The Bowery that same year, which was the uncredited screen debut of Lucille Ball.  

“Lucy’s Lucky Day” (1971) ~ Lucy goes on a TV game show and is challenged to teach an untrained chimpanzee to do a trick in order to win a thousand dollars. Jackie the Chimpanzee is the seventh chimpanzee to work with Lucille Ball on television.

Harry dresses up as a gorilla to try to coax Jackie into performing. In his DVD introduction to the episode, choreographer Jim Bates recalls that the chimpanzee only knew one trick – to cross its legs – so the entire routine was built around that. He also recalls that when Gale Gordon took off the gorilla head in the presence of the baby chimp, the chimp went into hysterics and had to be taken off set to calm down.  

Finally, on “Milky Way to Riches” Lucy, Harry, Kim, and Jackie perform “Tell Me, Pretty Maiden” written in 1899 for the musical Floradora. They finish with “Daisy Bell / Bicycle Built for Two.”

The Planet of the Apes franchise began as a 1963 sci fi novel by Pierre Boulle. Boulle was also responsible for The Bridge Over the River Kwaii in 1952, which was referenced in “Lucy’s Summer Vacation” (1959). The first Planet of the Apes film was made in 1968. It was followed by four sequels, a television series and an animated series, as well as a several film reboots. 

Charleton Heston (Taylor) was referenced in “Lucy Fights the System” (1974). 

Roddy McDowell (Cornelius / Caesar / Galen) attended (uncredited) the “All Star Party for Lucille Ball” in 1984. 

Claude Akins (Aldo) appeared on “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show.” 

Ricardo Montalban (Armando) appeared as a Prince on “Here’s Lucy.” 

Victor Buono (��Beneath the Planet of the Apes”) appeared on “Here’s Lucy” as a suspected international spy. 

Background players from the Lucyverse who appeared as humans or apes in some iteration of the franchise include: Jerry Maren, Jack Berle, Paul Bradley, Gail Bonney, James Gonzales, Shep Houghton, Arthur Tovey, James La Cava, Joyce Haber, Victor Romito, and Monty O’Grady.

From day to night, there was an incessant restlessness among those still standing, himself included.

Though the losses rested heavy in the air, had it not been for the interventions, the backups from both the ancient dragons and Toci's forces, the deathcount would have been much more severe. Even then, the current count was nothing to scoff at, those of his tribe especially.

This victory is not permanent, he knows but neither does he has the heart to clelebrate or take a step back from rendering assistance. It'd be made obvious when others would go to him, knowing Kinich has some wellworth experiences in healing, thanks to being a Dendro bearer and who taught him.

All his thoughts snap once he can feel a set of his eyes lingering onto him.

He knows that feeling, warm yet undeserving.

No Suns should look at him that way.

Its not as though gratitude and praises ever had any sort of hold on him. He's just a man, just a human, in spite of having unfurled dragon wings on his back now.

Sure, he can simply dismiss them but even that's not going to get rid of the aches, the pain of literally having said wings sprout so suddenly a while ago.

Nothing a warm soak can't fix but its not on the Hunter's mind right now.

There is much to do still...

''....''.

After excusing himself to whomst he's been handling alongside one of the more juvenile dragon, did restless, adrenaline-fueled eyes fixated Mavuika.

Sleep?.

He can't sleep looking like a ball of energy, he can't sleep for his brethren, no.

''With due respect, Tlahtoani, i can't see myself resting'', what he needs however, was to deal with all the achings, the irritation all over his dragon scales beneath tattered clothes.

Nothing warm water can't fix though.

(translation; Tlahtoani - 'leader, ruler, emperor, etc)
