Carlos Madrigal Prepon Headcanons;

His full name is Carlos Manuel Madrigal Prepon.

He is the biological child of Camilo Madrigal and Yanamaria Earlene Maldonado Amaya. Adoptive/step child of Mina Prepon. 

His birthday is April 1st.

He doesn’t acknowledge Yanamaria Earlene Maldonado Amaya as his mother anymore—no one knows whether this is because he genuinely forgot or if he is still holding a grudge about what happened the night she left. 

When he was a little kid, if anyone other than his grandparents, Bruno, or Antonio babysat him, they would have a very difficult time. Yes, that includes Mirabel. He was a very picky child. 

In d3, he is a first year student and a member of the Drama Club, Film Club, and School Newspaper—for which he writes the Gossip column. He is thirteen years old when the whole Queen of Mean mess takes place.

Camilo fainted when the news broke out and Pepa stormed during the entire thing—the storm was very, very, very  violent and led to no one being able to leave the Encanto or get into it. 

Carlos was fine—he wasn’t even aware anything was going on at all, in fact. He had been cooped up in his dorm room writing a paper about the summer school gossip when cursed and had been under the impression that he’d just had a long nap after dying his own hair partially red until his very frantic family showed up.

He was very pouty about missing it—kinda like how Camilo was after the family got the full story of what happened during the events of Encanto. 

Carlos resembles Camilo to an uncanny extent but if you look closely you can see that his freckles are more prominent, his skin tone is a bit darker—the same as his bio mom’s—, and his hair is straighter black—again, like his bio mother’s. He also has buck teeth with a gap in-between them. 

Camilo was in shock at how much Carlos looked like him.

If you look close, you can also see that he resembles Pepa as well. 

When he was two he got in a fight with an Opossum because it stole his blanket. It bit him on the forehead (which scarred). He bit it back. 

His favorite colors are clay red, brown, yellow, and orange but Carlos favors orange. 

Carlos wants to be a script writer and film director when he grows up—he has ever since he was four. 

He has the gift of voice mimicry and is scarily good at mimicking people’s speech patterns despite it not being a part of his gift. 

 He's dating Eleanor Bluefairy-Carmelo and is friends with the Bell Triplets, Macarla and Manto Athanasiou, CJ Hook, Ally Liddell, and Amy Radcliffe.

Carlos has been described as snarky, sarcastic, sneaky, mischievous, impulsive, chaotic, wild, playful, nosey, moody, dishonest, bratty, lazy, defensive, angry, and disrespectful. But he’s also intuitive, curious, creative, daring, street smart, thrill seeking, helpful, and a bit of a con artist. 

He’s also messy. 

Unlike Mariana who can’t stand being called ‘Mirabel’ or being nicknamed as ‘mini Mirabel’, Carlos doesn’t really mind being compared to his dad or being called ‘Mini-Camilo’. Camilo—who has had identity issues and hates being called by other people’s names when he’s not trying to prank people or actively shifted when he was younger—minds much more than he does and has been trying to nip it in the bud since Carlos was a baby. 

Carlos does not like being referred to as ‘the Madrigal Carlos’ and glares whenever someone refers to him as such when he’s in earshot, however. God help you if he hears you refer to him as such. 

Between his parents, Carlos is closer to Camilo. 

Pepa is his favorite grandparent.

Bruno is his favorite great uncle. 

His favorite of his dad's siblings is Antonio.

Out of his siblings, Carlos is closer to Hugo and José but he loves his sisters just the same. Even if he finds Amelia a bit annoying due to how bossy she can be. 

Out of his cousins, Carlos is closest to Leta and Belinda and would even go as far as calling them his favorites. Though he is also close to Marcelo. 

When he was seven he overheard a conversation between Mirabel and Alma which led to him finding out that Marcelo (then five) before Marcelo himself and the other Madrigals did. 

He was also how Camilo found out because he asked him about it. 

Carlos can be a real sweetheart when he wants to be. 

More than one person has called him the ‘jerk cousin’. 

If Carlos is quiet, it is never a good sign. It usually means that either he's getting into trouble, has a question his parents are not going to like, or he's upset/scared. 

He had the worst tantrums out of his generation (so far, anyway. One has to remember that Juan and Javier could still beat him out in a couple of years). 

Carlos has been nicknamed ‘los, Car, Mini Camilo, Mini Me, Pequeño ladrón de voz, Mischief, and Diminuto. 

He had an orange and yellow parrot companion he named ‘Mellizo’ who he loves very much and who he loves teaching new words too. 

Mellizo likes biting people.

Carlos takes good care of Mellizo. Making sure his cage is clean, that he has good food and entertainment, etc.

Carlos has two stuffed animals that he loves dearly—an orange and yellow stuffed chameleon that belonged to his dad as a baby that he named ‘Mine’ and a stuffed Lyrebird named ‘Copiar’ that Mirabel made him. 

He also has a brown and orange baby blanket with yellow chameleons and laughing/talking parrots on it that Mirabel also made him (they look like they’re talking/laughing anyways).

Carlos’ best class is ELA because it's the only one other than art and maybe history that even remotely cares about.

His favorite foods are Sunrise Beef Turnovers and Spaghetti and Meatballs. 

His favorite drinks are orange juice, mint chocolate chip milkshakes, tea, and orange Fanta. 

His favorite dessert is ‘colored mountain meringues’ and jelly donuts. 

His favorite candy is Tongue Tinglers.

His favorite shows are Dr. Jiminy, Auradon’s Ninja Warriors, and The Young And The Crownless.

His favorite band is ‘Talking Dragons’. 

His favorite band if anyone asks is ‘The Donkey-ettes’ since his girlfriend, Eleanor, is a part of it—his favorite song of theirs is ‘Song Of Stars’. 

His favorite song is ‘Rather be with you’. 

His favorite book is ‘How We Came To Be: Creatures Of Camouflage and Mimicry’ abd 'A Mischief Maker's Guide To The Galaxy'.

His least favorite holiday is the King Beast Honorary Holiday.

His favorite holiday is Halloween. 

His favorite school event (other than school plays) is the Hip Hop Dance Contest. 

His favorite video games are Fix-it-builds (aka Auradon’s version of Minecraft in my au) and Go-Go Ballroom dancing. 

His favorite business in Auradon is  ‘Mad For Tea’. 

His favorite social media sites are InstaRoyal, Royallr, and AuraTube. Though he has access to several others so he's able to keep an ear out for any gossip or potential first page stories. 

His favorite animals are parrots and chameleons. They always made him laugh when he was little.

His favorite sport is dodgeball. You do NOT want to be on the opposing team as him. 

He secretly hates Fútbol with a fiery passion. He sucks at playing it and doesn't find it very fun but he would never tell his father that because he knows Camilo loves playing the sport with him. 

Like Pepa, Carlos can always tell when someone is actually Camilo shifted without fail. Even as a baby he could tell. 

Carlos is a pretty convincing actor and loves taking part in plays. He's always taken any role he's been given to play very seriously, even when it was something as small as playing parent to a doll in a game of house. 

He fell in love with Eleanor after realizing how sneaky she was after she somehow fooled one of their teachers into thinking that she hadn’t taken part in a prank that she most certainly had.

He is pleased when people compare him to his stepmother, Mina, because he holds her in high regard and it just reinforces the fact that he is not really Yanamaria’s in the ways that matter.

Carlos can be quite vengeful but the hell he will rain down on anyone who causes any type of harm to the youngest kids of his generation—José , Vera, Renata, Amada, Juan, Javier, Dayana, Avila, and Giovanni—does not compare to the usual chaos and vengeful acts that he usually causes on the behalf of those he loves. He’s especially protective of José given that they’re five years apart in age and he’s the youngest of Carlos’ children. 

Carlos is scared of needles, doesn’t like blood, and trying to get him to a doctor outside of Julieta is hell on Earth. 

He was a cranky baby and the moment he was out of diapers, he was getting into mischief with both Hugo (his younger brother) and their cousins (Leta and Belinda). 

Before José, Carlos was the messiest of Camilo’s kids. 

Sometimes, he feels like his gift is rather lackluster compared to everyone else’s gifts but he rarely ever voices these thoughts.

Carlos’s hobbies include: writing, acting, shopping, fashion, drawing, sewing, making jewelry, reading, prop making, set designing, some sports, gossip collecting, pool, hair styling, psychology, horseback riding, fishing, anthropology, karate, stand-up comedy, skating, ice skating, and pulling pranks. 

Despite being only thirteen, Carlos is very particular about his hair and face and skin and what products he uses on them. 

He is also very good at taking care of his teeth—mainly because he wants to look nice but also because he had a traumatizing experience with a dentist with he was younger (think a mix between Finding Nemo and Final Destination). 

He learned how to ice skate from Eleanor and is teaching the skill to Hugo, Belinda, Leta, and the younger kids. José loved it. 

Eleanor and Carlos often do artsy things like painting and drawing together, and will occasionally pull pranks with one another. 

Eleanor also helps Carlos study for the classes he struggles with. 

Carlos’s pet names for Eleanor are Ellie, Stealthy, and Ice Princess. 

Amelia and Sofia dropped him as a baby a couple of times and told no one. 

He and Leta have horrible luck. 

One time Camilo said ‘I know my kids, they wouldn't do that’ and all of his kids—Amelia, Sofia, Carlos, Hugo, and José—just side eyed each other. Carlos was the first to laugh about the ridiculousness of that sentence. 

When Carlos was three He, Hugo, Belinda, and Leta gave Camilo a heart attack by deciding that he and Leta were going to jump off the railing leading to the courtyard on the second floor as the other two egged them on. Luckily Camilo was able to catch them before they did. 

Funnily enough that is Carlos’s earliest memory—Hugo, Leta, and Belinda do not remember this at all. Or so they claim. 

Carlos loves cosplay and will give Mariana pointers on it. 

He likes Isabela’s potato people and doesn’t understand why his dad and some others in the family find them weird/creepy. Though considering that the taxidermied animals, Bruno’s rats, and the other animals in the house don’t creep him out, that’s probably not saying much. 

One time, when he was about two he got in an argument with his dad about whether or not Casita counted as a Tía to him. Camilo did not win that one and gave up on the argument after an hour. 

Carlos adores puppet shows but this wasn’t always the case. When he was little, he got lost in town and joined a crowd of kids watching a puppet show—and for some reason, the main puppet scared him. No one knows whether or not it was because the puppeteer startled him by putting the puppet in his face or what. All anyone knows is that Camilio was furious in the ten or so minutes it took him to figure out why exactly his toddler was crying (the puppeteer still runs whenever he sees Camilo or Carlos).

He’s had two sleepovers outside of Casita as a kid. He hated them.

He knows a lot of slang, a lot of languages, how to play a couple of instruments, and it terrifies people because it makes it harder to tell when it’s him. 

Mariano once caught a toddler Carlos making fun of him the exact way Camilo did and asked if Camilo cloned himself. 

Carlos also did the whole ‘ __ Your boy/girlfriend’s here!’ thing to his siblings and cousins. Unfortunately for him, he taught José too well and the eight year old did the same thing to him when he brought Eleanor home as his girlfriend for the first time. 

He finds the rain soothing and can often be found dancing in it—the first time he did it Pepa was so reminded of Félix (him dancing in the rain with his brother was how she met him) that she cheered up immediately. 

His first week at Auradon Prep he managed to somehow fill up Mr. Deley’s rooms with balloons. I'm not talking just on the floor, either—the entire classroom not to mention Mr. Deley’s bedroom at the school was filled up with balloons. Floor to ceiling. He managed this not once but three times—one of which happened while he was in detention (Jay won't admit it but he found it hilarious). 

Carlos hates cooking because, like with Fútbol, he's not any good at it. So he actually does hate the detentions he's been given. 

(It doesn't help that he doesn't like Merryweather who is usually supervising the detentions). 

His first word was ‘Cloud’. 

His second word was ‘stinky’ and it was aimed at the dead fish lady. 

He was a biter as a kid and will absolutely still bite anyone he gets into a fight with to this day if he deems it necessary.

He was that blunt kid who point blank told people he didn't like them (usually adults). Sometimes he said so multiple times. Usually to the Dead fish lady.

Carlos’s door is wooden with an orange frame and depicts him with a mischievous look on his face, hand off to the side of his mouth. Eyes half open, mouth formed into a whisper as if he was having a conversation with someone. 

The walls inside of Carlos’s room are a goldish—almost orange—color with a raindrop pattern reminiscent of Pepa and Félix’s room, while his floor is a clay red color and carpeted with a parrot pattern. 

His ceiling matches his floor in color but has wooden beams across it and around the ceiling, dangling from up above are Boquila trifoliolata, vines, and Copper Beard Orchids.

The room itself is bigger than the old nursery used to be, though not by much.

Inside of the room is a twin bed with curtains around it which rests against the wall closest to the door. The bed sheets and covers are orange and gold with a parrot pattern while the curtains themselves are brown. The blanket Mirabel made him as a child as well as the few stuffed animals he still has usually rest atop of there. 

Underneath his bed is a secret department where he hides his contraband (aka pranking supplies his parents don’t want him to have and anything that might be even remotely embarrassing in the wrong hands).

At the end of the bed is a dark brown, almost black, wooden chest where he stores the prized possessions of his that he doesn’t care if anyone finds it. 

Beside the bed is a red wooden dresser with a potted Boquila trifoliolata plant, a writing trophy (made by one of his cousins),and a double framed picture of him with his family and him with Eleanor atop of it. Across from the dresser is a stage with a bookcase on it and a stand where he can hide behind to do puppet shows on it. 

Beside the stage is a red wooden desk with a cushioned brownish rocking chair—the cushioned area has a similar pattern to his bed’s sheets. On top of the desk is a typewriter and a candle holder that almost always has a candle on it, as well as his laptop. 

On the wall there are a couple of band posters (one of which he made for Eleanor) and a few bulletin boards with notes and blackmail material as well as a couple of photos of his loved ones and some framed papers of his. 

On one of his walls (the one to the left of his door) there are a couple of filing cabinets and a couple of storage cabinets for his snacks and camera equipment. Past the filing cabinets is an enclosure for his parrot and a curtained balcony with brown curtains (that have orange, red, and gold colds on them) surrounding it. 

He also has a full body mirror and a walk in closet in his room.   

When Carlos is upset or overwhelmed his voice seems to echo on and on in his room—only it doesn't only say the words he is saying. Sometimes it even says the words he's thinking. 

When Carlos's gift is acting up, he finds it hard to switch back to his own voice and to match the voices of others perfectly. His voice will switch from high to low, to differently accented to him being unable to speak at all. He hates it. 

Carlos would never tell anyone but he's terrified that one day he'll forget what he sounds like and never be able to find his own voice again.

Carlos thinks tattoos are cool and he wants a ton of them. Camilo blames Antonio (jokingly, that is). 

The thirteen doesn't want to go to college because he's not big on school and would rather not intend if he doesn't absolutely have to in order to get the job he wants.

He is the king of multitasking. 

Carlos also has a scar on his throat when he got in a fight with a bully who was mad he was mocking him. It's three large scratches—that kid has sharp nails. 

Carlos, while being new to dating, is doing rather okay so far. He's spent part of his allowance on getting Eleanor flowers from Sherwood's Floral and she liked that so he figures he's just going to keep doing that. 

He puts on puppet shows for his younger cousins. He also knows that José secretly likes them but won't admit it so Carlos usually tries to schedule them for when José isn't doing it and do them in places where he will see them. 

Carlos has a reaction/prank channel on Auratube. 

Don't worry though, Carlos’ pranks are usually harmless. Which is surprising given how vengeful he can be. 

When he was a kid he had a weird habit of waking up early and just entering somebody's room to watch them sleep. Most often his parents’. Thankfully he grew out of this by the time he was six. 

Carlos has eaten a battery and a Tide pod before—he ate the battery when he was four (no, Camilo doesn't know where he got it) and he ate the Tide pod for Auratube when he was twelve. He just got his Internet privileges back and he's been told by multiple people several times that if he ever does anything that foolish and impulsive and dangerous again, his Internet privileges will be permanently revoked. Well as permanently revoked as his parents can manage while he's still a child (though Casita would probably help them if he did. She was not happy with him for that and made sure he knew it). 

Carlos has never seen his dad that angry before and never wants to again. 

Carlos is rather creative with his cursing. Both real and fake cursing. Sure, most of the time it doesn't really make sense but it's meaning still gets across. 

Unfortunately he has the absolute worst luck for when he curses so there have been multiple occasions where he's turned around to find that one of his family members was behind him the entire time. 

Examples being:

“You bitchass, no wifey having ass, selfish ass jerk headed bastard this is why you ain't got a girlfriend—” Félix was behind him for that. Luckily for Carlos, Félix was laughing too hard to scold him. 

���Stupid, conniving, bigoted, classist no life having ass eggheaded hobkno—” He immediately got languaged by Bruno, who was chilling in the wall looking for one of his rats. 

(There's more in multiple languages. Everyone has caught him at least once. Even Pedro the ghost). 

Carlos the Shameless, can in fact feel embarrassed. Case in point: he's never been more mortified than when he turned around after letting out the most vulgar curses to man only to see that Alma and Pedro's mother, Rosa, were standing right behind him with wide eyes. 

Actually scratch that, he has been more mortified at least once. That was the time he accidentally taught Amada a horrible swear word that she wouldn't stop repeating. He still can't meet Ryder and Luisa’s eyes because of how horrible he feels.

He got a lot of piggyback and shoulder rides from Camilo and Mina as a kid.

Round 3: Poll 2

*Please Read*

I advise everyone to read each contestant's story to get a well-rounded understanding of each entry. I urge you to not just vote for the one "you know best". I have everyone's stories/reasons why they should win under the cut.

(Rhoeo art by @amiti-art)

Propaganda:

Manto

What's The Love Story?

She's Tiresias's daughter!

She was brought to Delphi as a slave initially, but Apollo made her a priestess of Delphi! They had a son named Mopsus, and when Apollo instructed her to establish a new oracle, told her to marry the first man she saw after leaving Delphi.

She did just that and her husband guided her to Claros where she founded the oracle of Apollo Clarios.

Additionally, she was present when Niobe insulted Leto & her kids, and advised her to ask for forgiveness.

Finally, a guy tried to assault Manto on her couch and Apollo appeared and straight-up murdered him for the transgression. Protective King >>>>

Why Should They Win?

Apollo wingmaning his girlfriends >>>> Iconic

Kids?

One - Mopsus. He was a seer & diviner, and officiated Apollo's temple at Claros.

Rhoeo

What's The Love Story?

Her dad was THE worst and when he found out she was pregnant he didn't believe her that the father of the baby was a god so he put her in a wooden chest and threw into the sea. Jokes on him because Apollo was baby's father so Rhoeo made it safely to Delos. She gave birth to Anius and placed him on the alter in Apollo's temple and asked him to save the baby if he was truly his (idk why he needed saving tbh, the myth does not specify this. I headcanon that he was born too early)

Apollo then took Anius and not only saved him but also started to raise and mentor him.

Rhoeo later married Zarex who adopted Anius so our boy had 3 parents, good for him. And there are no myths about her dying a horrible death so she probably had a long and happy life (unlike some other lovers of Apollo 🙃)

Also around the same time Rhoeo got thrown into the sea in that wooden chest, while her sisters were watching over their dad's wine, it got destroyed by the swines. The sisters were so terrified of their father they decided to jump of the cliff but Apollo saved them and turned them into goddesses.

Why Should They Win?

I think Apollo truly loved her not only as a lover but as a friend too. It was not a one night stand like often happens in the myths. He loved her enough to save not only her and their son but also her sisters (like come on he turned them into goddesses). He let her live on his sacred island. And he loved her enough to let her go. While gods are often very possessive of their lovers (Apollo included, rip Koronis), he had no problem with Rhoeo moving on and getting married. I like to think that they stayed good friends and Apollo was very happy that she found such a great guy like Zarex to marry.

Kids?

Anius

You always so informed and smart in analyzing. Do not let hate get you down. Is there anything books you can recommended

That's so kind of you. Actually I constantly feel I know very little. Sometimes I feel like I will never have enough time to learn things that I want to learn. I am self assured about some things, but I second guess myself a lot more than you would think. Hehe.

Okay this is the second time I have gotten such a message. What hate though? There has been nothing like that in my asks. Just the usual.

What kind of book recs are you looking for? I am more of a fiction person and the recent book I read was a suspense thriller. Before that I was reading Camus. One of my favourite authors is Alexander McCall Smith. Reading his books is like lying down under the shade of a mahogany tree, while a bubbling brook flows alongside, as the rays of sun warm my cheeks, a gentle breeze blows and I just get lost in my thoughts. It's peaceful. I like his Sunday Philosophy Club series the best. I also like the Scotland Street series. The no 1 ladies detective agency series is also a good one. I like his humor, his humanity, his little observations about life, his generosity for his characters. Heh.

I like classics a lot. Chekhov is one of my favourites. I like Russian classics, although yeah, they can get quite depressing. But like, there's no match for the content. I also like Austen and Bronte sisters. Yeah, I know it's cliche, but I love Jane Eyre, despite all its problems. The chapter where Helen died haunts me still...

I happen to love O Henry and Maupassant. Reading their stories is just so inspiring and entertaining. I also love Manto and Dahl.

I also read a lot in my native language, it really has some of the best literature in the world. I also write poetry when the mood strikes. But I doubt that counts here.

La Tapada Limeña

Tapada limeña (means "Liman [fem.] covered one") was the denomination used at the time of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the first years of the Republic to designate the women in Lima who covered their heads and faces with comfortable silk mantones, revealing just one eye. Its use began in the 16th century and it spread until well into the 19th century, that is, its use lasted for three centuries and was not only limited to the "City of the Kings", but also to other important cities in the region. In Lima, the custom remained until well into the Republic, when it was relegated by French fashions.

Aristocratic women (criollos) wore a skirt and shawl (saya y manto) when going out. The manto was held over the face, revealing one eye only, and afforded the women anonymity. In most aspects of life these upper-class women were tightly supervised, and the customs and norms of Lima were very restrictive. This costume however, would be worn by women when they went to mass every morning, and also as they promenaded in the afternoon. They would then flirt and engage in intelligent and candid conversation with men, never revealing their identity.

Many attempts by religious and civic officials were made to ban this form of dress, based on the belief that such anonymity would allow immorality to flourish. Scholars writing about and analysing this history talk about European and North American visitors being scandalised by Tapadas, finding their resemblance to Arab women disturbing. Others pointed to their resemblance to the Catholic nun, rendering their assertive, sexual presence very unsettling. Further, men worried about the possibility of unknowingly flirting with their own wives or daughters. Or a man.

By the time colonialism ended in Peru in 1821, this form of dress had all but disappeared. Not because of protest or scandal, but because women wanted to embrace French fashion, and link themselves to symbols of progress and national independence. The photographs on which my paintings are based were created in the 1860s-1870s, when the custom of the Tapada had completely disappeared. There are no known photographs from earlier times of actual Tapadas; the face, hidden by the veil, made the women anonymous, so they were not suitable subjects for studio portraiture. In later decades, as in these examples, the outfit was seen as 'historical costume' and became a profitable subject for photographers seeking to capture ethnic and racial 'types'.

Origin

The use of the saya and the cloak, a pair of distinctive garments of the Tapada limeña, appeared in Lima around 1560. About its origin it has been said that it is Moorish, due to the undeniable similarities that they bear with the costumes that cover the body of Muslim women, although later the theory of its Castilian origin was established.

The first official testimonies that deal with clothing were not very merciful with their users:

"The use of covering women has come to such an extreme that great offenses to God and notable damage to the republic have resulted from it, because that form does not recognize the father to the daughter, nor the husband to the wife. nor brother to sister..."

There were many ordinances subsequent to this act of the Cortes of 1586, but none could dissuade the Liman women.

Background

In 1583, the Archbishop of Lima Toribio de Mogrovejo pronounced an energetic rejection of the Lima custom of wearing the saya and the cloak as usual garments worn by women in the capital. This happened during the Third Liman Council that he himself presided over and that gave rise to a censorship that the Cortes of 1586 confirmed during the reign of Philip II of Spain. It was agreed that the offenders would be fined 3,000 maravedís. The fear of this custom, already widespread among Liman women and that had generated so many misunderstandings and confusion, made the authorities suspect that the first cases of transvestism in the Viceroyalty were taking place.

Characteristics

The characteristic attire of the tapada connoted insinuation, coquetry, prohibition and seduction game. However, it was still a dress: the saya outlined the hips and the cloak covered the head and face, except for course, a single eye. The tapada was a symbol of the freedom of Liman women and this symbol was used to distinguish themselves from women of other classes and roots (races). Behind the cloak could live a toothless grandmother as well as a one-eyed woman stung by smallpox. The possibilities were many, as there must have been many occasions when gallant boys or old men squandered compliments on their wives, sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law, mothers or daughters who could hide their true identity behind their cloaks.

The saya was a large and long silk skirt, colored blue, brown, green or black. To secure it, a belt was used that girded it to the woman's waist. It was not uncommon for some of the less graceful to wear false hips that exaggerated their natural endowments. Underneath this skirt it could see the small foot (shod with an embroidered satin shoe) that also made the colonial Lima women famous. The cloak was also made of silk, tied at the waist and up the back to cover the head and face, revealing only one eye and perhaps the arms. This cloak was usually a simple fabric so that the tapadas would not stand out in public and retain anonymity.

“Hm? Who told you— oh. Uh, never mind that. I’m unsure, it seems it just slowly works its way through, tainted whatever it gets to that day or week. It’s like a sort of poison.”

(wasn’t sure if that’s asked ic or ooc so basically I’m just choosing every other day or work or whenever I feel what Tir forgot. Sometimes it’s things he completely forgot—like Ody having a sister—or minor things—Caleb being a cat. Sometimes it also leads to them mistaking people for those he once knew, like Athena for Manto and others yet to come. But summed up, basically I have a list of things he’s forgotten, will be, or slowly is, and that’s how it’ll work; idk if that helps or even what you meant, but yeah)

Dad?

Uh- I said I’d visit you afterwards- to.. Y’know show you I’m safe.. I know I’m late but uh

I’m alive..

Libro Di M. Gio Boccaccio Delle Donne Illustri Tradotto Per Messer Giuseppe Betussi. Con Una Additione Fatta, Dal Medesimo Delle Donne Famose Dal Tipo Di M. Giovanni Fino à I Giorni Nostri & Alcune Altre State Per Inanzi, Con La Vita Del Boccaccio, & La Tavola Di Tutte L'historie, & Cose Principali Che Nell'opra Si Contengono. All'illustriss. S. Camilla Pallauicina Marchese Di Corte Maggiore. In Vineggia M D LVIII RARE, ITALIAN LANGUAGE ILLUSTRATED Publisher: Francesco e gli Imperatori, Veneggia (Venice) Copyright: 1558

--ABOUT THIS ITEM-- Item Dimensions: 6.0 inches x 4.5 inches Boccaccio's On Famous Women (De claris mulieribus) is a remarkable work that contains the lives of one hundred and six women in myth and history, ranging from Eve to Boccaccio's contemporary, Queen Giovanna I of Naples. It is the first collection of women's biographies ever written. Boccaccio composed it at Certaldo in 1361-62 and revised it in various stages to the end of his life in 1375. He dedicated it to Andrea Acciaiuoli, countess of Altavilla in the kingdom of Naples and sister of Niccolò Acciaiuoli, the grand seneschal of Queen Giovanna I. In his preface, the author states that the biographies of illustrious men had been written often by a number of excellent writers, and he cited his hero Petrarch's Lives of Famous Men (De viris illustribus) as an example. No one, however, had ever done the same for women. Boccaccio, therefore, presents a wide variety of women from antiquity to his own time, offering their lives as both moral exemplar and entertaining reading. On Famous Women is the earliest source of women's biography in the West and has had a long and distinguished publication career and literary influence. The famous women included are: 1. Eve, the first woman in the Bible 2. Semiramis, queen of the Assyrians 3. Opis, wife of Saturn 4. Juno, goddess of the Kingdoms 5. Ceres, goddess of the harvest and queen of Sicily 6. Minerva 7.

Ode à Panatenéia / Ode to Panathenaea

PORTUGUESE

I - Nascida

Para ti, ó Palas Atena, teço estas palavras em singela homenagem Tu, Sábia Senhora, nascida da fronte altíssima de Zeus imortal Já portando armadura de bronze e ouro, a égide sendo-lhe herança Mesmo Hélio Hiperiônida cessou seu caminho para assistir tua chegada E os mares profundos e desconhecidos se abalaram com sua visagem A Deusa auxiliadora de mortais havia nascido, presenteando-nos dês o Olimpo

II - A Deusa da Sabedoria

E em tua honra inigual a Deusa jurou diante dos imortais irmãos e irmãs Jamais unir-se em amores, as artes jubilosas de Afrodite, pois seus olhos Glaucos e cheios de fulgor como são, miram com amor apenas às artes tuas, Os belicosos conhecimentos, a astúcia e a sabedoria como suas províncias Atena jurou-os proteger e seu manto sobre mortais erguer, sobre aqueles que Partilhassem de seu apreço pelo divino saber, pelo seu divino benfazer.

III - Na Gigantomaquia

A forte e sábia Deusa combateu-o em terras trácias, o Cuspidor de Chamas, O atroz Encélado, filho da Terra e do Abismo, terrível e poderoso gigante  Ferozes golpes de lança e escudo foram trocados, com Atena astuta rebatendo As investidas da fera profana. A egíde cobrindo-lhe contra o ataque e a lança Cuja ponta arrancou-lhe o ícor, forçando-o a recuar da Sagrada Deusa armada A Olhos-Cinza o encerrou sob uma montanha e, vitoriosa, alto Atena bradou.

IV - Atena

Em paz nos tempos, a boa Deusa inspira mortais no belo exercício do amor às Coisas sábias que constroem a vida. Criamos, tecemos, pensamos e refletimos Pelas bençãos de Sábia Atena, que tece mentes com hábeis mãos divinas, Os mortais sobre a terra despontam em criação e a mais nobre reflexão Mãe da Oliveira, com a lança coberta de azeite e argutos olhos de coruja Mesmo a górgona empalidece frente à tua presença e sua eterna sapiência.  Por isso, hoje e sempre, dizemos: Khaire Athena!

ENGLISH

I - Born

For you, O Palas Athena, I weave these words in simple homage Thou, Wise Lady, born from the towering forehead of immortal Zeus Already wearing armor of bronze and gold, the aegis your heirloom Even Helios Hyperionides ceased his path to assist your arrival And the deep unknownwable seas were shaken by your sight The mortal-loving Goddess was born, giving us blessings from Olympus

II - The Goddess of Wisdom

And in unequal honour the Goddess swore before the immortal brothers and sisters To never lay in love, the joyful arts of Aphrodite, for her eyes Glaucous and full of radiance as they are, gaze with love only to Her arts, The bellicose knowledge, cunning and wisdom as the provinces of Her own Athena swore to protect them and her mantle over mortals to rise, over those who Share the same love for knowledge divine, Her utmost holy virtues.

III - On the Gigantomachy

The strong and wise Goddess fought him in Thracian lands, the Flame-Breather, The atrocious Enceladus, son of Earth and the Abyss, a terrible and mighty giant Fierce spear and shield blows were exchanged, with cunning Athena swinging back The onslaught of the unholy beast. The aegis covering her against the attack and the spear The tip of which tore off the ichor, forcing him to retreat from the armed Holy Goddess The Gray-Eyed One shut him under a mountain and, victorious, loud Athena cried.

IV - Athena

In peace times, the good Goddess inspires mortals in the beautiful exercise of love for Wise things that build life. We create, weave, think and reflect by the blessings of Wise Athena, who weaves minds with skilful divine hands, The mortals on earth thrive in creation and the noblest reflection Mother of the Olive Tree, with her spear covered in oil and sharp owl eyes Even the gorgon pales before your presence and your eternal wisdom.

That's why, today and always, we say: Khaire Athena!

 Celebrating the Panathenaea, I hope this honours the Goddess, as we celebrate her birth and blessings on humankind. May we all honour Athena, the great daughter of Zeus. A protector, a saviour, an inspiring teacher and a healer. Praise the Goddess and good festival on this weekend!
