Me chatting before Italian class: because the Divine Comedy was so influential to Italian culture that it almost single-handedly made the Tuscan dialect the foundation of modern Italian-

God's wrath will not be calmed by soup, however hot
Beatrice, Purgatorio Canto XXI iirc (John Ciardi translation)
Machiavelli: Oh no! I have been exiled! Let me try to get back into the government’s good graces
Dante: oh no! I have been exiled! Let me burn all my bridges
it wasnt the LGBT community that brought back Minecraft and it wasn’t the neurodivergent community who brought it back, it was my 50 year old dad who made a replica of the 7 layers of hell from Dante’s Inferno in his survival world thanks
UPDATE:
APPARENTLY HE DIDNT JUST DO INFERNO, HE ALSO DID PURGATORY AND STARTED ON PARADISE
The thrilling conclusion:
IN AN EXCITING TURN OF EVENTS, IT TURNS OUT HE DID NOT DELETE DANTES MINEFERNO
he finished it in creative but hell was made completely in survival
i present to you: Dante’s Mineferno
op please upload this so we can all go through minecraft hell
"Hell was made completely in survival" is an excellent quote out of context
I need this. I don’t even play Minecraft but I need this so so badly. Please. PLEASE
I’M BACK PEASANTS: AND I HAVE MEMES FROM @dante_social ON IG (used with permission)
Greetings, nerds! I've been inactive for a while but I'm hoping to start posting again!
Please send me quotes because even my brain runs dry sometimes
Very Special Life Update
Varda here! I don't usually put life updates on this blog, but it's a special case :
Earlier this year, I discovered Festival Dantesco after they liked my Divine Comedy of Errors doodles on IG and I asked if I could participate in their virtual quarantine edition this year (usually participants must be enrolled in an Italian school).
They very graciously let me in, and last week I submitted a video of myself performing a passage from Purgatorio set to music. Since I told them I'm memorizing the entire Comedy, they asked if I could submit a video of Inferno Canto I,accompanied by my drawings. I'm absolutely thrilled that a Dante festival is asking if I would like to nerd out EVEN MORE on a topic that is near to my heart and wanted to share the good news with you guys!
Also low-key hoping this helps me in my endeavor to get into college with a full scholarship.
Virgil in Purgatorio
You know this meme? Can someone please make a version that compares Dante the Author vs. Dante the Character? Please?
Dante the Author: -is a genius -accurately predicted his own lasting fame -wrote a 100-canto epic in terza rima -exiled for his political views -literally called out all of his contemporaries
Dante the Character: -faints -cries -has to get a hug from Virgil when Purgatory is too loud -always getting yelled at -still confused even in heaven -goes blind
The Divine Comedy of Errors (Inferno 1.2)
If you’re going through hell, keep going.
Virgil to Dante, The Divine Comedy (via indigoire)
That moment when you're taking an exam on Dante's Paradiso and your mind wanders off to daydream about making a hanging ceiling model of Dante's Paradiso
Dante in the Dark Wood of Error: Here I am, will you send me an angel
Dante: I miss the beloved city of my birth
Also Dante: Florence my love, don't be offended that my rant about political corruption hasn't mentioned you yet, you're on a whole other level of political corruption
The Divine Comedy of Errors (Inferno 1.1)
Transcription: I stared down that pass that none had ever left alive; And I slept; And then I ran up the mountain
Every demon in Inferno: EXCUSE ME YOU CAN'T JUST TRAIPSE THROUGH HELL
Virgil: I have a divine permit. Shut up, suck it up, and leave the living man alone.
