Intro

Ipse autem Dominus pacis det vobis pacem sempiternam in omni loco!

I am Durante degli Alighieri, but you may call me Messer Alighieri or just Dante.

I am a Florentine, as one might guess from my clothes and speach, but I have been most brutally banished form my native soil and so live at the mercy of the whims of rich men. I make do.

POET, first and formost! I am writing the poem of all time right now. Be on the look out for the arrival of the first part, Inferno, at a live reading venue near you! I also take translation, dictation, and smaller writing jobs when I can get them. If you know anyone who is highering... 👀

I am not alone! My dear mentor @beeloverpoet is my constant guide, inspiration, and helper. Yes, he is the real Virgil. Though dead now in body, he lives in spirit, and is none the worse for not being a living man.

OOC: hello hello hello! I am the mod behind the mask! You can find my main at @shedoescalcforfunsies.

after looking through your blog it seems to me that you are also not of this time... i dont know if you know this but a hand of Romans (including the Emperor Nero) have also been resurrected. if it's not just us... well it certainly paints a picture doesn't it (see what i did there?😸)

The peace of God be upon you, servus!

How interesting! I don't think I can be resurrected as I do not believe i have ever died. However I suppose it make some kind of sense that we are able to connect to a different earthly time from here.

Forgive me, let me go back. When I left time, it was early spring of 1300 anno domini. As I write this I am sitting about a quarter of the way down the great pit that is the bowels of the earth, orcus as you might call it, l'inferno as I know it. Hell is a place outside of time. My maestro @beeloverpoet can through some strange intuition of his own know the how the position of the stars in my own time have progressed, and so the passege of our time here is marked in that way.

As long as we remain in the place of the dead, time has no power over us. Virgil tells me that several hours have elapsed in the upper world since we descended here, and yet I do not hunger, do not thirst, and do not grow tired. I remain in the same state as I was when I began this journey. So I suppose it ought not seem incredible that my Tumblr posts, emerging from the either of Hell, have reached you in... when did you say you were? You must be in a time that is in my future, for i never learned of any tales of resurrection concerning the Emperor Nero.

Peace of the Lord to you, Messer Mercutio!

There was a time when the Mediterranean dried up. Yes! It almost entirely ceased to be. People who know about theses sorts of things believe this happened some time around 5 million years ago. Somewhere in the balance between evaporation and condensation something shifted, and began to favor evaporation, until much of the water which makes our great sea was held in the heavens. At God's appointed time, it returned to the earth.

I do not fully understand how this could happen, but there is good evidence to be read in the sea and land itself that this was so. God's ways are fearful as well as wonderful 🤷‍♂️
