From Gustave Courtois' "Dante et Virgile aux Enfers"

This was my first bookmand art, that's why he doesn't look like Mick Jagger yet and has bright ginger hair 😂 also, i recently remembered the typical Vergil - Blue and Dante - Red color scheme wasn't always the case, especially in old manuscripts:

☝️☝️ There it is! That's literally Marius & Amadeo. Hahaha!

I have so so many thoughts about the setting of TVA. It's the most prominent and interesting theme in the book to me. I was heavily fixated & obsessed with turn-of-the-century Italian Renaissance history for a while, so starting to read TVA and slowly realizing this book is set in exactly those years, how Armand's conflict corresponds exactly with the history & theology of that brief period was... an Experience. LOL.

Amadeo's rebirth into his new life being set in a time where Christian faith & culture is being reborn. The Siege of Constantinople and Andrei's kidnapping. Savonarola's Bonfire of Vanities and the Children of Darkness ambush. The constant comparison with Christ's rebirth ... It is so deeply imbued with the conflicting values of the Italian Renaissance. Even Marius, too, represents that - an ancient roman teacher to offset & challenge Armand's very Christian, very spiritual devotion. The book, to me, is Armand's Divine Comedy!

I debated on which painting to imitate for this idea, and ended up choosing the one depicting Canto 32 - Dante & Virgil witness Ugolino della Gherardesca, eternally gnawing on his betrayer's head in hell. Kind of as a little nod to how Armand cannibalizes Riccardo later on.

Idk how big the pagan and Asatru community is here but id like to put a warning out to everyone that practise these beliefs and follows public accs that make content on it.

There is an account on instagram that goes by alvigunilla. She has 178k followers and posts videos about nordic history and paganism. I liked her videos, but then she started uploading some about hollywood movies misusing nordic culture & paganism (which is fine on its own) but unfortunately those videos have welcomed a certain demographic into her comment sections.

Its full of white supremacy and anti semitism lets just be frank, i called her out on it in her recent. But gave the excuse that its "not her job to censor beliefs that arent hers"

I just find it so disgusting to allow bigotry, this same woman gets upset that these extremist groups use nordic pagan culture/beliefs to spread hate, yet allow it on her account. Its blatant hypocricy.

Im not actively in these communities, but i do have a huge interest in nordic mythology and its been an ongoing issue for years now that extremist groups use the history, symbols, the gods, etc for their own toxic agendas, and i assume the majority of those that practise these beliefs also agree that this behaviour is in unacceptable? Like i honestly cant believe this is happening bc for the most part ive only seen ppl within the community to be against this yet this person is allowing it!

Its really weird not more people are talking about her! One Archeologist Professor Howard Williams has been calling her out for a while now and in response she has made a video about him. A lot of rightwing jimbobs are now doxxing the man and she is threathening to take legal action against him. Which is absolutely insane. Those neo nazi’s are so fucking manipulative in playing the victim.
