Fun Little Merlinverse Language Headcanons

Ok, so we know most of our Merlins are old af, and that most of them have the patience of saints so they usually don't get genuinely pissed off. But could you imagine how funny it would be if they started cussing in 'old' languages when they do snap? Except the languages they use are just normal languages irl.

Like I can so picture Sena seething at someone in Hindi but still keeping composed, only to snap and absolutely drag them in Tamil (like it is a good thing no one understands him otherwise they would not be able to look him in the eye afterwards). Or if he wants to pull the Divine Judgment card in more serious/formal moments he starts calmly lecturing them in Sanskrit putting every ounce of his godly authority behind each word (I think in that moment everyone would understand exactly what he's saying despite not being able to identify individual words).

Meanwhile Celestino (@meepinmeat) just takes a deep breath before slowly but purposefully reading someone to filth in old Latin. People might not understand the words, but they definitely get the gist when they can feel static crackling through the air due to the Archon's rage. ("Well, mark me down as scared and horny"- Valen, probably.)

And imagine everyone's surprise when soft-spoken little Pirin (@yohohonabottle) goes from irritable bat chattering to absolutely intense Slavic cussing, looking absolutely ready to curse someone's entire bloodline as he yells at them in Bulgarian. (Considering how terrifying Pirin's curses actually are, I cannot blame Val, Sinbad and Soren for being terrified of their little bat in that moment.)

As for Magister Starhawk (@fujimomozane), this man looks like he slays so hard. So I can't help but picture him being calm and collected before muttering the most horrendously accurate and specific insults possible under his breath in Ukrainian. (Though Chippy and Hammie were not expecting the magister to very vehemently tell a table to have a stroke after he stubbed his toe.) (Ps, please correct me on this one if I'm wrong. I've heard a friend explain it once irl and I thought it was really funny and in character for Starhawk.)

Meanwhile Korin and Damian are hiding behind Molpe (@mcnana) as she cusses someone out in Spanish for insulting her boys. Like they appreciate the gesture, but they are also absolutely shook considering that she's normally very sweet and soft-spoken. (Imagining Korin covering Damian's ears for this one. Like he doesn't know what's being said, but from Molpe's tone he knows a child probably shouldn't be hearing it.)

Please reblog this with your own Merlins! I'd love to hear your takes. (Especially @magister-violyste and @msbiaxalblanc, since Violyste is fairly young by Merlin standards, and Bellarose is fairly aloof and put-together. Also, Magister Zelda (@fgfirenation) clearly has no problem cussing, but I'd love to hear your take on her going completely feral on someone.)

Merlinverse Wheel Interactions - Collection Post

I was bored, so I spun the wheel a couple of times. I actually only ignored results I already had, but removed options later on to get more variation. I haven't consulted anyone and just went from vague memory, so lemme know how badly I am off the mark. xDDD

Lavinia attempts to play matchmaker for Zelda

Magister Zelda by @fgfirenation

I believe we had this scenario before, where Zelda is playing matchmaker for Lavinia, when she learned that Zelda actually has en ever so small thing for a certain rabbit. 

But truth is... I think Lavi is a rather bad matchmaker. At least in terms of taking action to get them together. She is much rather having long talks with Zelda about when and how and possibilities of outcomes, never failing to encourage Zelda to do whatever is needed. Although, she might also be one to STOP the magister from doing something entirely headless. Since Lavinia's bound to Holistone in service, she'd not often have the chance to actually meet and talk to Lorsan. But since Lorsan is traveling, he might actually drop by and then when he does, Lavi is definitely observing VERY HARD and trying to see what he thinks about Zelda.

So yeah, rather than orchestrating things, she's gotta do the observing and spying and information forwarding. xD

Lavinia learns a new skill from Zelda

Uhm, so the standard answer is, of course, that any Merlin will one way or other, show Lavi how to deal with the left-over Hypogean magic within her. So the definite "feeling" of magic in and around herself, the certain things one can do to ease stress related to that, actual little spells and so on.

On another note, Zelda is such a powerhouse and crazy creature... that I feel like it would be so silly and cool if Lavi learned something as beautiful, delicate and soothing as sand mandala creation. Or like making small pottery creatures. Or making jewellery? xD Anything that's a little unexpected and shows Zelda's warm and caring side. Maybe it's crocheting? Felting? Well, origami, at the least! 

Lavinia playfully argues/banters with Sena.

Magister Sena by @bunnybird-afk

I am not sure what this means, to be honest. It sounds more like teasing to me... and in that case, I gotta move forward in time a little bit. Lavinia and Sena are comfortable with each others presence now, not least due to Valen, and there may have been little squibs from one to the other before. But for more lengthy banters, I think Lavinia's firstborn is the perfect reason. xD

Shall the kid have this or that to wear? Can it have tea and why couldn't it be wrapped up in a sock rather than a blanket? Can it be levitated around the Mystical House and climb up the towers made of books? Bedtime is when again and what bedtime story to read? And so on and so forth. <3

Lavinia teaches a new skill to DK

Magister DK by @gloriousrebirth

Ah, oh no, I don't think Lavi can teach ANY Merlin a new skill. xD At least certainly not in terms of magic. And what other skill might she be able to show to DK? Probably something incredibly boring... like a useful knot for tying things up. Maybe that knot turned out essential later on when DK needed it on Sinbad. xD Or maybe DK likes the nuts Lavi sometimes brings to the Mystical House not knowing that they have simply been soaked in water over night. Or maybe the same memory trick Lavi taught Molpe, given Merlin has an issue with forgetting things. xD

Lavinia compares opinions about .... with Celestino

Magister Celestino by @meepinmeat

Well, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is Valen. And that's not gonna be all too exciting, since they have the SAME opinion about him. xD BUT, given the difference in universe, they would probably be quite interested in the subtle differences of the Valens.

Alternatively, if it's CelVerse Lavi, then she'd be just friends with Valen and the three of them have, given her experience etc, a VERY in-depth discussion about the Heroic Order! And subsequently the Celestials and their role against the Hypogeans and whether they might not also be required to help "Esperian" problems.

Lavinia fights/spars with Celestino

Since Celestino is a Merlin, whether Lavi is from CelVerse or her own, the fighting is training in regards to her Hypogean powers. Not that Celestino would have to really break a sweat, though, it's all basic routine stuff. And yet, sometimes, he might make it extra tough for Lavi, not only forcing her to use her magic but also still the sword to win. And I don't see a reason why he wouldn't be able to drag Dionel into the ring, too. "Must I really, son?" and "Yes, really, or do you want to risk her ending up corrupted and on the other end of your spear for real?"

Lavinia attempts to play matchmaker for Rose

Magister Rose by @afkhowstrange

Not. xD Ahahaha, while they probably have a good relationship and can easily sit together with tea and cookies after training sessions etc, Lavinia is still too impressed and careful in what she does around Rose. Playing matchmaker? I don't think she'd allow herself to. That doesn't mean she'd not be interested and observing from the sidelines, to witness any developments. And if Rose ever confided in Lavinia, she's happily try to help in word or action (although she'd always feel silly for "setting anything up").

Lavinia offers to dance with Rose

Oh boy, you know what? Maybe THAT would be something Lavinia isn't embarrassed to do for Rose in terms of matchmaking. I don't actually know who Rose might have a crush on, but this dance would definitely be the perfect excuse to then go and ask her crush, too! Whether a confession follows, I don't know... but at least Lavi's done something for Rose to have a good time. <3

Lavinia meets the child version of Molpe

Magister Molpe by @mcnana

Aww, that would be so adorable! I don't think there would be anything special about the situation, but Lavinia has a way to pay actual attention to children and thus be perceived as a "nice lady" by them. Or on some cases, a lady to be reckoned with, not unlike Valen. Either way, Molpe probably lost her way or something, and Lavinia takes responsibility as a knight and delivers her back home. Getting her treats along the way, of course, and talking about her favourite games to play. xD

Lavinia offers to dance with Violyste

Magister Violyste by @magister-violyste

Hmmmm, this could be somewhere on the job, of course, a professional matter, if you will. But maybe it would be more something in relation with Hogan. xD Maybe there is no such thing as marriage for them, but let's assume there would be something akin to it, a special celebration, an anniversary, you name it... and since Lavinia is just part of Hogan's family and work, she might be asked to help with that. And then, to help Vi prepare, am sure Lavi would help her remember dances again. After all, Vi can't possible say no to Hogan when he asks, and you bet, he WILL ask. <3

Merlinverse game compilation 1

A new skill??

@meepinmeat Alright so I'm spinning the wheel and it has spoketh with this prompt > Teaches a new skill to... Celestino

At most I can see Pirin teach him a new language?? Or weaving, making intricate tapestries if it piques Cel's interest. Sewing and knitting/stitching as a sort of just in case skill to have handy, you never know if/when it will pay off. Seeing as how Tino is a god/demigod... Vanya honestly doubts he can teach this funky Celestial man anything new or worthy to write home about.

Still tries! Or something adventure-related/travel wisdom?

Tea??

Prompt: Compare opinions about Lavinia with Starhawk

Well that's a funny situation, eh? @fujimomozane I can see for some reason Pirin ended up in Starhawk's Mythic House, likely chasing after an anomaly or just got it done with.. Or Merlin effed up again, either way here we are! Somehow the conversation goes to Lavi, and Vanya is trying no to gush about her - Like how well she's gotten with magic-wielding lately, or her combat prowess keeps growing (He's teaching her alll about combat. I mean it.) and how excited he is for her. (Dame and her hubby either bout to have their kiddo or already do.)

A chatterbox trying to suppress himself from babbling, let Starhawk actually get a darn word in, and apologizing about not letting him talk/chatting his head off.

A dance maybe..?

Prompt: Offers to dance with...Molpe

To be honest... He hasn't ran into Molpe very often or knows this magister well enough. May try to ask for a dance awkwardly in very broken Spanish, as he doesn't know the lingo. It's why he didn't teach Molpe a new skill as well- Not that Vanya doesn't like the Magister! Or is avoidant! ;-;) Pirin just really has no clue..

Bickering pt 3

Prompt: Playfully argues/banters with... Violyste

@magister-violyste Ahh yes, bickering or bantering. At least won't be an 'Edward Elric' moment this time around. Instead could be more of a back and forth of witty quips, exchange of knowledge. Pirin is known as a Burning star. Mind you, he's not quite regarded as a literal one... But who knows? Not much is known about the true origins of Night nymphs and many have speculated in the past for them to be actual stars, or star-spirits?? Simply these beings have some ties to the stars for sure in a way.

Bickering pt 4

Playfully argues/banters with...Zelda also known as 'Adherents!Soren bullying poor Mather again'.

@fgfirenation This man can't catch a damn break it seems. From being teased about being a literal star and enduring a good-intentioned cross-survey/ asked lots of questions, to being bullied for being short by a bearman again like last time. This time this fool has not one, not two but three to tease for being short-stacks. Pirin, primarily as the shortest of the trio, Raptor and Ludovic who brought this workaholic (work-addict) to the tavern. Otherwise Vanya and Zelda could swap tea about their partners.

Bickering pt 5 huh?

Or Celestino joins the bullying and later tea about partners. Seriously, what's with being teased left and right today??

Temporarily swaps universes with....Molpe I don't know anything about Molpe so can't say anything..;-;) Maybe Molpe becomes the Moon (like admin) of Pirin's Esperia if we're running the meta premise. But none of the squad knows Spanish so barrier goes hard unfortunately...

Another dance

Prompt is 'Offer to dance with...Sena' on the wheel heh. @bunnybird-afk Pirin offers his patron to dance, or simply these two hanging out as it's been likely so long since last time. It could be Desi dance or Bulgarian or a funky mix of the two for laughs, being silly. And does Malak's herald have tea to spill to him if he hasn't already about a certain Graveborn..

..Assuming that certain Graveborn hasn't broken the news to Sena first, in the first place.

Some incorrect quotes that I made between Magister Celestino by @meepinmeat and Magister Bellarose by me. Y'all may interpret this as modern au or so.

~~~

Celestino: What if I lied this whole time and I'm actually 18?

Bellarose: Celestino, stop trying to get drugs.

Celestino: Don't suppress my interests.

~~~

Bellarose: Don't break someone's heart, they only have one.

Celestino: Break one of their bones instead, they have 206 of them.

~~~

Celestino: I met this person on tinder and asked for their last name. They sent it to me and went “Doing a little background check? You might find out I’m a murderer, just ignore that” with a kissy wink emoji. Alright so a good sense of humour.

Celestino: I looked them up, they were a murderer.

~~~

Bellarose: So what do you have planned for the future?

Celestino: Lunch.

Bellarose: No, like long term.

Celestino: Oh...um, dinner?

Riflessioni sull’educazione: Jacques Verger, Le università nel Medioevo

Nel presente libro Verger delinea lo sviluppo dell'università quale istituzione sociale e politica. Durante il dodicesimo secolo le scuole cattedrali si stavano diffondendo, richiamando un crescente numero di studenti. Tale crescita era una risposta all'aumento della domanda di persone colte. La grande diffusione dei testi tradotti dal greco e dall'arabo, e il diritto romano, diedero autonomia all'insegnamento di alcune discipline secolari, come legge e medicina. Il rapido successo della dialettica stabilì un nuovo tipo di pedagogia; la teologia fu profondamente riesaminata. Particolari circostanze storiche fecero sì che alcuni centri  come Parigi, Bologna, Oxford, divennero estremamente  influenti. Attorno  a queste città cominciarono a prendere forma le prime corporazioni di studenti e maestri. Il monopolio della Chiesa sull'insegnamento cominciò a venir meno. Il quindicesimo secolo fu un epoca di cambiamento: nuove fondazioni, un corpo di insegnanti e di studenti in continua espansione. Tuttavia allo stesso tempo le istituzioni subivano un cambiamento diventando secolarizzate; la precedente autonomia era in declino davanti alle nuove pressioni statali.

Il saggio di Verger non si occupa di storia delle idee, privilegia una lettura sociale e politica della storia dell'università. Per quanto l'argomento sia molto complesso, perché deve tenere conto delle diverse realtà di numerose università disseminate in varie regioni dell'Europa, dall'esame storiografico emergono tre fenomeni costanti dal Medioevo ai giorni nostri: l'interesse dei potenti ad avvantaggiarsi del sapere e dei professionisti prodotti dalle università, la tendenza dei potenti ad esercitare un controllo sulle università indirizzandone le attività attraverso l'elargizione di finanziamenti, la costituzione spontanea di classi sociali colte e privilegiate all'interno dell'università. Verger inizia il suo studio esaminando la situazione delle scuole in Occidente nel XI-XII secolo. Solo in Italia  erano presenti scuole laiche di arti liberali, di elementi di notariato, di diritto pratico e, a Salerno, di medicina. Si trattava comunque di realtà private e poco note; la massima parte dei centri di cultura era sotto il controllo della Chiesa, presso un monastero o una cattedrale. Ogni scuola era diretta da un magister scholarum  direttamente  subordinato  al  vescovo o all'abate.  Queste scuole  erano destinate in primo luogo agli oblati dei monasteri e ai giovani chierici, la maggior parte impartiva solo un'istruzione elementare, pochi centri potevano definirsi di educazione superiore. I monasteri, luoghi del sapere per eccellenza nell'alto Medioevo, erano in una fase di decadenza. Al contrario le cattedrali, per via della riforma gregoriana, iniziarono ad essere i nuovi centri della cultura. L'insegnamento era ancora quello stabilito in epoca carolingia da Alcuino: alla base c'erano le sette arti liberali, al vertice la teologia. L'unica innovazione, peraltro molto importante, fu la riscoperta della dialettica aristotelica che portò al rinnovamento della teologia fornendo uno strumento razionale di interpretazione della Sacra Scrittura. I testi di Aristotele furono accessibili grazie ai contatti di Venezia con l'impero bizantino, grazie alla conquista normanna della Sicilia e soprattutto grazie all'incontro tra la cultura islamica e latina in Spagna. Da questi  apporti della cultura  greca dipenderà in  larga  misura l'orientamento dell'attività intellettuale delle università fino alla fine del Medioevo. Inoltre, negli ultimi anni del XI  secolo,  la lotta per  le investiture   comportò  un  risveglio dell'attività giuridica; di qui un intenso lavoro di ricerca, di critica e di riordinamento delle fonti del diritto. Parallelamente  vi fu lo sviluppo   delle città,  conseguenza del generale sviluppo demografico dell'Occidente.   Senza città non sarebbe stata possibile la nascita dell'università; la città infatti comportava la divisione del lavoro, le persone dedite ad uno stesso mestiere tendevano spontaneamente ad associarsi in comunità di uguali, dando vita ad una corporazione, spesso chiamata “universitas”. Nelle città di tutta Europa si moltiplicarono le scuole. All'inizio del Duecento solo le classi sociali più ricche potevano permettersi di pagare l'istruzione ai propri figli, verso la fine dello stesso secolo anche le classi medie erano in grado di fare altrettanto. Nel 1179 il III concilio Lateranense stabilì che ogni cattedrale era obbligata a tenere una scuola e che gli  scolastici  dovevano concedere gratuitamente la licentia   docendi  a chiunque la chiedesse, purché in possesso dei requisiti necessari. La licentia docendi conferiva il diritto di insegnare soltanto entro i confini della diocesi. All'inizio del Duecento il Papato istituì la licentia ubique docendi, riconosciuta ovunque, così facendo la Chiesa affermava il suo diritto a controllare tutta l'attività dell'insegnamento. Nonostante il forte controllo della   Chiesa l'istruzione iniziò  a non essere più considerata semplicemente come   formazione del clero, l'intellettuale cominciò a prendere coscienza della specificità sociale del suo lavoro, che non si lasciava ricondurre a quello del chierico. Verger cita il caso emblematico dell'università di Parigi: è probabile che una prima forma di associazione corporativa dei maestri parigini sia avvenuta nella seconda metà dell'undicesimo secolo, periodo in cui si assistette alla laicizzazione degli insegnanti, nel 1194 Celestino III concesse ai maestri e agli allievi di Parigi i privilegi goduti dai chierici, nel 1231 con la  bolla  Parens   scientiarum  Gregorio IX sancì l'autonomia dell'università rispetto all'autorità vescovile. Complessivamente il governo  delle università presentava nel   Duecento tratti democratici ed era esercitato in modo autonomo: non c'erano ancora funzionari statali incaricati di occuparsi degli affari universitari, solo i legati pontifici svolgevano un ruolo importante concedendo gli statuti e arbitrando nelle dispute. L’università nel Duecento non avevano edifici. I privilegi degli universitari comprendevano l'esenzione dal  servizio militare, dal pagamento delle tasse, e il godimento di rendite ecclesiastiche senza l'obbligo di prendere gli ordini e di servire alcun incarico. In un primo momento le università conferivano un solo titolo, la licentia docendi, inseguito si aggiunse un titolo minore, quello di bacceliere, e un titolo superiore, il dottorato, quest'ultimo era   utile a chi intendeva dedicarsi all'insegnamento e si trattava di una semplice formalità da un punto di vista scolastico, ma costava molto caro e fungeva da sbarramento sociale nei confronti degli studenti meno abbienti. Gli studenti ricchi erano frequenti soprattutto nelle facoltà di diritto, per il resto gli studenti provenivano da tutti gli stati sociali definibili classe media: piccola nobiltà, borghesia, contadini benestanti. Per molti di questi l'università offriva una speranza di promozione sociale. L'insegnamento doveva essere gratuito, i maestri potevano vivere grazie ad una prebenda ecclesiastica, diventando così chierici condizionati dalla Chiesa. Tuttavia, specialmente nelle università italiane era uso che gli studenti versassero delle collette ai docenti. Lo sviluppo delle corporazioni universitarie fu promosso per tutto il XIII secolo dai papi. Per i papi l'università doveva fornire anzitutto del personale idoneo ai compiti peri quali l'impreparazione intellettuale era un pericolo: vescovi, predicatori, teologi e canonisti. L'unico studio utile ai predicatori era la teologia. Per prima cosa studiavano la dialettica a fini propedeutici, per poi dedicarsi al lungo studio della teologia, per completare il quale erano necessari ben 15 anni. La quasi totalità degli studenti di teologia erano frati domenicani. I domenicani disponevano dei   propri studia conventuali, tuttavia si inserirono nelle università, e dove mancava l'insegnamento della teologia lo studium domenicano veniva spesso inglobato nell'università fungendo da facoltà teologica. Per tutte le altre figure clericali gli studi preponderanti erano quelli di diritto. L'importanza del diritto aumentò nel XIV e XV secolo. La realtà universitaria cambiò parecchio: si passò dalla quindicina di università del 1300 alle settanta e più del 1500. La fisionomia universitaria cambiò altrettanto: risalgono a quest'epoca i sontuosi edifici universitari, parallelamente l'insegnamento si sclerotizza, le università non sono più un luogo di fermento intellettuale, diventano centri di sapere standardizzato che producono professionisti al servizio dello stato e della Chiesa. Aumentò la componente laica fra i maestri e gli studenti, soprattutto in Italia. Per quanto concerne la teologia l'ultima figura originale fu Guglielmo di Occam. I maestri successivi si attestarono sui metodi scolastici tradizionali, che però la critica occamista  aveva  svuotato  di  ogni  sostanza.  Il  nominalismo  non incoraggiava  gli universitari a costruire nuove sintesi teologiche, promuoveva invece l'interesse per i problemi particolari. Nel Tre-Quattrocento le università svolsero la funzione di custodi dell'ortodossia. In realtà molti universitari ambivano a contare nel governo stesso della Chiesa, il Grande Scisma (1378-1417) fornì l'occasione di esercitare un'influenza sulla Chiesa durante i concili di Costanza e Basilea, influenza che fu solo momentanea. In sintesi la teologia dell'epoca non contribuì né alla politica né alla storia delle idee, solo   il   misticismo tedesco di  matrice monastica riportò vita alla teologia tardo-medioevale. Diverso discorso per i giuristi, che compongono buona parte dell'alto clero dell'epoca. Lo  scopo primario della  Chiesa  era  infatti  quello di organizzare, amministrare e dirigere. La Chiesa doveva essere un'istituzione ben organizzata ed efficace, la religione si era risolta nella morale e la morale nelle regole e nelle obbligazioni. Nel Trecento il diritto canonico ha conosciuto un forte sviluppo. La politica universitaria dei papi di Avignone fu tesa a sviluppare le facoltà di diritto. Verger cita dei dati: dalla matricola dell'università di Avignone si apprende che dal 1430 al 1478 gli iscritti alla facoltà di diritto sono stati in media 3418 contro i 271 di teologia, i 61 di arti liberali e i 13 di medicina. Molti professori di diritto concludevano la propria carriera come vescovi; il giudice ecclesiastico delegato dal vescovo e il vicario generale avevano la licenza in diritto; i canonici cittadini erano spesso degli ex-universitari. Il rapporto tra università e stati è simile a quello tra università e Chiesa: le università potevano essere pericolosi focolai di agitazione sociale, ma portavano prestigio e benessere alle città che le ospitavano, e ai governi potevano fornire giuristi qualificati, formati sul diritto romano, fonte della sovranità dello stato. Lungo il Trecento si assiste ad una evoluzione amministrativa, le burocrazie diventano assai complesse, il che porta ad una domanda molto più forte di giuristi ben preparati. Pertanto molti principi fondarono le proprie università: nel Trecento le università non erano più corporazioni spontanee. Questo fenomeno ebbe il vantaggio di colmare delle lacune geografiche, tutta l'Europa dell'est era stata   priva di importanti centri di cultura prima di quest'epoca. Gli stati hanno quindi favorito la moltiplicazione delle università, tale atteggiamento rispondeva ad un reale bisogno di funzionari. Le facoltà di diritto del tardo Medioevo furono all'altezza del compito che gli stati affidavano loro. Fu invece dalle facoltà di arti e di teologia che vennero gli interventi politici. Queste facoltà rappresentavano gruppi più dinamici socialmente e non erano orientate alla formazione professionale o al servizio dello stato. I delegati dell'università partecipavano agli stati generali e molte volte i pareri dei maestri erano tenuti in notevole considerazione. Durante la guerra dei Cento Anni l'università di Parigi divenne   una delle basi del partito borgognone, filo-inglese, e durante il periodo di occupazione inglese si impegnò in un'attiva propaganda a favore del nuovo regime. Nel complesso le università del tardo Medioevo hanno svolto una funzione politica limitata, tuttavia tale da impensierire i governi e persuaderli a uno stretto controllo dell'autonomia delle università, le quali si difesero male perché smisero di appoggiarsi al papato. Così il re di Francia Luigi XI intervenne continuamente e senza scrupoli nella vita interna dell'università di Parigi, facendo espellere personale, proibendo l'insegnamento del nominalismo e via dicendo. In maniera analoga nel 1407 Venezia proibì ai sudditi di studiare altrove che a Padova. Le città presero in mano anche il reclutamento e il pagamento dei professori: poiché li pagavano, le città potevano sceglierli. Agli inizi del Duecento le università erano corporazioni autonome, focolai di ricerca e di insegnamento; alla fine del Quattrocento erano diventati dei centri di formazione professionale al servizio degli stati. Per quanto riguarda la classe sociale, in molte matricole si segnala l'esistenza di studenti poveri, esonerati dal pagamento dei diritti universitari, frequenti soprattutto in area tedesca e nell'Europa settentrionale, assai meno numerosi al sud. Il salario dei professori prova che la diseguaglianza era la norma e che la situazione economica di parecchi maestri era mediocre, solo una piccola parte disponeva di salari altissimi, tali da permettere uno stile di vita nobiliare. Tra costoro nasce una “nobiltà di toga”, si assiste ad una chiusura sociale. L'esclusione dei poveri nelle università italiane del Quattrocento ne è un esempio. La tendenza si nota soprattutto nelle facoltà di diritto e medicina: i diritti d'esame, già alti, furono aumentati ancora. L'accettazione di un nuovo dottore, spesso figlio di un altro dottore, avveniva con una cerimonia che seguiva da vicino quella della vestizione del cavaliere. Studiando le liste dei professori di molte università si nota che il figlio succedeva al padre, per facilitare la successione si decise di esentare dai diritti d'esame i figli e i nipoti dei maestri. Il gusto disinteressato per la scienza, la fede nel valore del dialogo, per le quali si erano battuti i maestri del XII e XIII secolo, ormai erano tramontate. Il sapere era diventato un patrimonio di famiglia, garanzia della posizione personale.  Logica conclusione di questo atteggiamento è stata l'equivalenza giuridica tra dottorato e cavalleria. Dal 1533 infatti Francesco I re di Francia conferirà il titolo di cavaliere ai maestri dell'università.

Merlinverse Interactions Game

Hey, y'all! So I had an idea for a fun little community-building exercise for the Merlinverse, just to help us all interact and get more familiar with each other and our OCs.

Basically, this link will take you to a site where you spin two wheels, one with an interaction prompt and the other with the name of a Merlinverse OC. You can then either make a post about how you think the interaction will play out (can be a short-fic, drabble, general thoughts, headcanons, whatever you want), or you can chat to the creator of that Merlin and have fun discussing the idea with them (you don't have to post a summary of the Merlins' interaction, but I think it'd be fun to see). You can participate even if your Merlin isn't on the wheel, though if you'd like them to be added feel free to reach out.

To make these interactions easier to find please use the tags #merlinverse, #merlinverse interactions and the tags for the ocs involved in any post you make (tags under cut).

Rules:

Be respectful of your fellow creators, don't harass anyone.

Be mindful that the person you're chatting to may be busy and unable to respond quickly.

No NSFW or sensitive topics unless you and the person you're chatting to have BOTH agreed to it (please add the appropriate warnings to your post too).

The Winter Log: In The Beginninging

Already so excited and hyped for the Winter Festivities! And this is just like an intro to my rambles for the Winter Carnival stuff. So I'll start off with these!

Just know, Cel absolutely glomped Val first chance he got XD

PLEASE³ WE ARE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO GETTING HOGAN SOMEDAY🙏 THIS IS PROOF (I am coping so hard)

But it also took me out (my lungs I mean, from laughing) that they somehow ended up dying SO FAST in the fight. I just blinked and BOOM, DEAD. Leaving Dionel, Sinbad and Ludovic to finish off the last two 😭

*awkward silence*

Dionel: Well that was.. something.

Hogan: *Tryna look unbothered on the outside but is dying on the inside from getting embarrassedly defeated fast in front of Merlin*

Sinbad, To Celestino: ...So that's your boyfriend and bethroed? 😏 *nudges with a shit-eating grin while gesturing to Val*

Valen: *Goes upfront to smack Sinbad's arm*

Ludovic: Yup, just another ordinary day.

But also the official AFK Journey channel just dropped a new vid for Hugin and Jolly Winter Eve!! Here are my picks!

Lucca and Sinbad giving gifts out to the Rustport kids absolutely warms my heart mahn oml, esp love seeing Lucca be such a gentle giant here 🥰😍

Breathtaking stunning, absolutely marvelous. You are the reason why my Hypogean OC, Aelius, is in love with you. (I will introduce him officially soon guys, trust PLEASE)

What if.. what if we kissed.. under the mitsletoe? 😳👉👈 AUGHHH DEM EYES

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER MAHN THAT SMIRK HE GOT THERE AND SEEING HOGAN WAVING HUGIN OVER RAAAAAAA🦅

NNSSNSMKSS PLEASE I AM TELLING YOU HOGAN HAS HVE TO BECOME PLAYABLE SOON *screams some more like a vulture and pterodactyl*

👏👏👏👏👏

Merlinverse Interaction Wheel Part 2

Once again, I wanted to explore interactions of our Merlins and OCs. I used different prompts this time. I couldn't add all characters, as some I simply don't know at all. T_T

Regardless, I hope you enjoy the silliness below!

Lavinia accidentally walks in to DK being nude.

xDDDD

And you know what, I even considered for a second to add "being with someone" to the prompt, slightly eyeing DK over there... and here we are. 

Anyway, realistically, nothing much happens. Lavi will utter an "excuse me" and retreat as quickly as possible. And DK seems chill with familiar people, so it won't even come up later on. It's just politely forgotten.

Magister DK by @gloriousrebirth

Lavinia has to save the a** of Starhawk.

As with any Merlin, I'd have to come up with something really silly that would result in such a situation. So how about this: Starhawk, his familiars and Lavinia move out to free Valen from some bandits. They agree on a barge in, causing a distraction and then flight procedure. They arrive at their camp, obviously they are outnumbered and they see Valen bound and gagged (he is mostly fine, though). Both Starhawk and Lavi are furious, obviously, and announce in great words their grand rescue fight. The bandits laugh, gently slap Valen's cheeks and say something like: "This prince went down so quickly, and now we have two lil' princesses and their pets attempting to rescue their sweetheart?!" 

And they drag Valen up, bend him over and make a mock-scene of a beheading to taunt the two rescuers. Lavi's ready to charge in, but Starhawk cries out and in such melodramatic posture and throws a hand to his forhead. "No, please, I am going to faint! Don't touch him!"

Again, the bandits laugh out loud, shaking Valen around. "You think we gonna give back your spy just because you--"

And with a thud Starhawk just goes down onto the ground with the most pitiful moan. That's Lavi chance, and she dashes forward to tear away Val from the bandits. But when she turns and both knights are ready to run... they realise Starhawk isn't moving. "Psst, Magister, please, we should leave." Nothing. Meanwhile, the bandits regain their composure and ready their weapons, now slowly moving in on their prey.

Lavi shakes Starhawk by they shoulders. "... he fainted for real..." Valen and Lavi stand for a second and laugh nervously. "Sure, thing, no problem, right?" And then they glance at each other before Valen does his signature move with Lavi's sword while Lavinia summons two Hypofiends behind the bandits backs. Then she drags Starhawk up to drag him away, the two furballs just running around frantically. Valen following behind. When Starhawk comes to in a safe place, Lavi stands with her face hidden in hands next to him. "That distraction was a little too real for my taste." Starhawk sees Valen next to her and shrugs. "It did work, though, right?"

Magister Merlin Starhawk by @fujimomozane

Lavinia is accidentally turned into a hamster by Zelda.

xD So, after their training together, Zelda is preparing everything for a bit of relaxing pottery animal making. Lavi is sorting out past creations on the table already and the box is still filled with more. While Zelda ponders about how life as a small pottery animal must be, Lavinia bends over the box to grab something else, when suddenly.... Zelda sneezes and a large cloud of pixie dust hits Lavi. And before she can do anything about it, she coughs in a high-pitched voice, shoving another tiny pottery bear out of her way. Lavi hears Zelda's voice booming over her. "Lavinia? Where did you... go?" There is but a tiny moment of silence, before both understand. "Magister! I am here! Down in the box!" Zelda leans down to check the contents of the now fallen over box and indeed, Lavinia, as a tiny pottery hamster, waves frantically at her. Zelda is a magnificent presence even before, but NOW, those giant hands gently wrapped around her and Lavinia can't help but feel afraid for her life. "Please don't break me, Magister! Oh, please tell me you can revert his?!" Zelda is super gentle and amused and plays a little with her, pretending to think it through. She gently takes her over to the bar to show Dolly. But as cool as I think Lavinia is in real life, she's freaked out completely right now. She's squeaking and holding on to Zelda's hands for dear life. She only calms down when Zelda reassures her that she can revert the spell, but not before sitting Lavinia on a tiny sofa and giving her a tiny napkin blanket. xDDD

Magister Zelda by @fgfirenation

Lavinia has to pick a costume for Sena.

Ah, difficult. Lavi would totally want it to be not just something aesthetically matching to Sena but also have a meaning (to him or her). So anything silly is out of the question. No, it must be something regal, something divine even. Maybe there are a few Esperian famous figures that would offer themselves, like an old king of an era, one or other celestial who's ascension befits Sena's own development ... actually, maybe she might make him an Obsidian Finch. That's just my own impression but I highly respect Talene for her conviction to protect the life that the Obsidian Finches had to die for. A sense of protection and love that Sena shares. One that surpasses any faction or even the gods. However, if Lavi knew that Hogan was to dress up as a hamster, then Sena's attire would match that costume. (Chippy would be Hogan and Hammie would be ...Sena. xD)

Lavinia has to help Sena cover up an accidental corpse in the basement.

This is definitely a glitch. xD I feel like it would be super silly... like poor Philip is asking Sena, as usual, to help him with some mess in his bag and when the magister attempts to untangle the mess, he lashes out a little too forcefully and knocks Philip over, who stumbles backwards in cartoony slow-motion, to then just falls down the steepest cliff right next to Holistone's city walls and that's it. Philip dead. Everyone just stares after him, his bag falling out of Sena's hands. After a good minute or so, Lavi quietly steps up and kicks the bag after Philip. Then turns around and says: "No one saw that. What a lovely day, we should go back."

Sena, drenched in sweat, nods. Game close and restart. Hoping the bug is gone. Only to find it hasn't. Sena is melting into puddles now. Panicked he makes a backup to his registered Email address and completely removes this version of Esperia from existence. And his memory. When he returns, Philip asks him to help with the mess in his bag. Without knowing why, a dreadful shiver runs down his spine and he delays the quest until another day.

Magister Sena by @bunnybird-afk

Lavinia has to entrust her kid to Rose.

I mean, ALL magisters are pretty responsible chaps but each will treat kids differently. Like, Sena's going to pamper with anything they like, Pirin is gonna drag them into fun fights and events Molpe and Vi are going to have books and story times, maybe even dolls. But Rose? I frankly don't know. I know too little about her. I feel like it should be okay, but also would NOT be surprised if there was a big catch! xDDDD

Magister Rose by @afkhowstrange

Lavinia organises a secret party for Celestino.

I am not sure why Lavinia would be chosen to do that because... honestly, she'd just go straight back to the man who knows best: Dionel. And given it's a special party for his son (with some important reason, maybe a baby-shower in light of Tempest arriving soon?) he would never say no to helping Lavi out here. Which, ultimately, means that Lavi won't be doing much at all. xDDDD Are they gonna be successful in keeping it a secret though? Ah, I bet they could. If Valen plays his part and Dionel manages to shrug off any suspicion, then... no problem. ;-)

Magister Celestino by @meepinmeat

[meepinmeat]

I'll be first to volunteer,

*tosses you this*

Magister Celestino and Valen's daughter, Tempest! An AFKJ OC yes

And my prompt for her is... well, her hitting some Valen poses (his in-game sprites) with a stupid smug grin

But also free prompt where you can put this fem!Valen in any goofy ahh situation if you'd like

Mrrrrrr the urge to do a draw your Merlins poorly is strong i can feel it

Let me butcher your magister with low effort drawings of mine, reblog to submit the poor soul’s image to me, you can add things like “draw *name* about to punch the screen” can’t guarantee if i’ll follow that lol.

Ocs are cool too! Remember, only one slot for each person, no greedy 😾🫵 AFK JOURNEY RELATED ONLY!

Placeholder pic

and what will become of your magister and oc if they fall into my hands 👇 it’s the girl with bad haircut.

[yohohonabottle]

A "what-if" idea similar to the one where Pirin frights Cel and Ael... Except this time Rila's thrown her hat in the ring. And added Magister Zelda for fun.

The reason can vary and what led up to this point, go wild, but what if Rila gets into a scuffle with Celestino and Aelius (both at once) --And Zelda? Could be a 3v1 fight or 2v1 then 1v1.

Round 1! 1v1 matchup - Rila v.s Magister Zelda | Ready? Fight!

...Well, Zelda would tank that anarchy gremlin's attacks really well and send her flying a good amount of times. I can see this being a hard tie match, like immovable mountain meets a lightning. Both would get equally ghastly damaged in this throw-down. Maybe it can seem like Rila's taking the lead at some points, only to get hard countered and pummeled back by Magister Zelda. (We're ignoring these two's Suns..for obvious reasons as it's just taking it straight-up to the Directors. Directors = Character creators. And the Suns of these two are literally their respective Directors.)

Now throw in Zelda's ex-Seraphim angel another realm - Celestial (Heaven) nature and abilities, and you got extra power. Extra seriously potent strikes that can and do make this gremlin see stars. But Rila would bounce right back somehow, dodge the next last second, retaliate just as aggressively, inflict all the ''debuffs'' on her..which will get tanked like it's barely a dent at all. Inflicting her own debuffs on the lil menace in turn.

How would it end? Draw/Tie. Either one or both parties disengage. Otherwise they'd be stuck in this impasse for not even gods know how long. And I suspect both Rila and Zelda can/will body Celestino and Aelius. Maybe Rila has a decent chance to actually win if she pulls a Berial ultimate move and dodge all of magister Zelda's attacks, and lands a critical surprise hit. I could be wrong.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2! 2v1 matchup - Rila v.s Celestino & Aelius tag-team | Ready? Fight!

..And then there's Rila going toe to toe against both Cel and Ael for...honestly? Most likely no reason, just the hell of it, because she can and felt like being a lil shit. Plus woke up and chose war/violence, just because. (We all know this anarchy goblin doesn't know or care about reason or justification. If she feels like doing- or not doing- something/wants - doesn't want that thing-- then that's how she'll act. And that's that.)

So! The scuffle happens, she instigated it and drew the two of them out onto the metaphorical ring to rumble and tussle.

Aelius is not be taken lightly nor is Celestino. ...Except one small problem. Ael's incubus powers are effectively rendered as meaningless against this fiend as she on her own, without her status as Pirin and Finch's Esperia's Sun, is wicked. Her skills of Creation/Destruction still are valid as they're her own abilities.

Refer to my Paragon lore post where I delve into Rila's kit.

So the incubus's next best bet is back to his old Hypogean fire magic--which Hurts, considerably. But not enough to be a killing blow. (Kind of parallels how Pirin's attacks mean nothing huh..fun.) And he just gets messed up real bad by this thing. (Berial himself is terrified of her..) And Celestino once again comes in to dish his own retribution which does ridiculous, brutal damage yes-- But the vindictive bitch just comes back swinging in retaliation blow for blow. Plus got serious bloodlust streak going on, loving the intensity and seeing this show-down as a very fun game.

Both parties get severely damaged, it's a ghastly sight very horrifying. But this eldritch lil nuisance takes all the hits from the duo like it's next to nothing. Legit comes/lunges from the flames like effing Terminator, half-melted like wax candle and disfigured but still keeps throwing strikes all over the place. And, because she mimics Berial, you bet she'll be bouncing over the place rapidly. Not stand still for long if at all, which would make landing a really good blow consistently bit difficult. Not impossible! Just difficult.

How would this round end? Rila wins. In the end I think Rila would win against them. Again, I could be wrong!

---------------

Round 3! 3v1 matchup - Rila v.s Magister Zeld, Cel & Ael tag-team | Ready? Fight!

For round 3 of this hypothetical Mortal kombat scenario, it's a 3v1. Celestino and Aelius + Zelda against Rila. This would be quite the scuffle and the chaotic midget will actually struggle considerably, barraged with attacks on all sides. She simply won't be able to retaliate at all, due to being caught in this crossfire.

As a result, Rila will take insane amounts of damage-- What of Cel's 'kit' fails, Aelius compensates and vise versa. What the duo's 'kits' lack or fail, Magister Zelda compensates with her own. And Rila won't be able to dodge so well either-- Where she dodges Zelda's strike, she runs right into either or both Celestino and Aelius, and vise versa.

Overwhelmed, Rila would most likely either choose to flee -- Or level out the fight by going for the '''''weakest'''' link, bring the number of foes down. (If going in blind into this fight and hasn't fought with Zelda prior to this round, then she'll charge at random and possibly go for her first. Which will give the other two opponents ample of time + openings to pelt her with attacks. Otherwise Rila would go for the duo to bring them down, knowing of Magister Zelda's abilities due to the prior fight with her.)

How would this round end? Rila looses. Most likely Rila would loose unless playing it smart/not going in blind--- in which case it would get dragged out but ultimately devolve from a 3v1 to a 1v1 like in round 1. However, for the sake of this round, I'll assume it Rila going in blind/has no experience fighting against the Ex-Seraphim prior to this round.

------------------------------------------------- Hope you enjoyed this silly idea, lemmie know if I got something(s) wrong and if I should correct! Plus your thoughts are welcomed gladly!

Yuuri is a Dalish mage of the White Tower in Orlais who has been given an opportunity not granted to many of his status. He is given the option to join with Celestino North to the Imperium where he can learn more magic and make connections with other mages. At a time when the power of the Circle is weakening and the Southern towers are rebelling, there is no better time for Yuuri to leave the Templar's gaze.

Viktor is a human mage from the Tevinter Imperium, and is tired of the expectations his family have for him. It seems as though everything is set out in front of him, to become a magister of the Imperium, like his father before him. He wants something to shake up his existence, something more than listening to old men talk about the 'good old days', he wants adventure.
