Mucius Scaevola before King Porsenna
by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta
“Ti immaginavo da bambina che correvi con me
E adesso guardaci qui veramente
Ti immaginavo così bella, esattamente come sei
Che dici mentre la tua mano mi stringe
Andiamo ovunque, ovunque, ovunque vuoi”

For the character ask meme: Celeborn and/or Tom Bombadil
Celeborn: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: Galadriel I guess. I’m not really invested.
friendship them with: Idk. A friendship with Luthien would be interesting? I mean, you see lots of fic and headcanon and meta about Galadriel knowing/being friendly with Luthien, but Celeborn would have known her longer and no one ever talks about that. One of my Sindar-friends should talk about it.
general opinions: He’s kind of racist and doesn’t really seem interesting to me, but he still doesn’t deserve Stoned Celeborn from the movies. Also props on copping to and apologizing for his anti-Khazad sentiments in LotR, that’s rare and admirable.
Tom Bombadil: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: I wouldn’t inflict him on anyone other than Goldberry, who doesn’t seem to mind.
friendship them with: I mean, Frodo likes him for some reason.
general opinions: THAT PART OF THE BOOK IS SO BORING AND FRUSTRATING, OKAY????? The only time I ever enjoyed it was when I was reading FotR out loud to @postergirlanachronism, and that was because she’s so well-versed in Celtic mythology that she was convinced he and Goldberry were going to turn out to be both fae and fey, and the hobbits would leave the forest and find out a hundred years had passed.
I’m also SO sick of Dad insisting he’s a Vala, that’s probably what tipped me over from negative indifference to RAEG.
The Valour of Mucius Scaevola before Porsenna
by Lorenzo De Ferrari
Il mitico sepolcro di Porsenna 🏛 «Lasciò un monumento quadrato in pietra squadrata, ciascun lato largo 300 piedi e lato 50. In questa base quadrata c'è all'interno un labirinto inestricabile, dove se qualcuno vi entrasse senza un gomitolo di lino, non potrebbe trovare l'uscita. Sopra questo quadrato si ergono 5 piramidi, 4 agli angoli e una al centro, alla base larghe 75 piedi, alte 150 piedi, inclinate in modo tale che in cima a tutte è posto un disco bronzeo ed un unico petaso, dal quale pendono campanelli sospesi a catene, che agitati dal vento portano i suoni lontano. Sopra questo disco si ergono altre 4 piramidi ciascuna alta 100 piedi. Sopra queste su un'unica base 5 piramidi». 📜 Così Plinio il Vecchio nella Naturalis Historia (XXXVI.19.91-93) descrive il sepolcro di Porsenna, probabilmente rifacendosi a un manoscritto di Marco Terenzio Varrone andato perduto. ✏ l'architetto Baldassarre Orsini analizzò il passo di Plinio e propone, per i “Saggi di Dissertazioni accademiche” dell'Accademia etrusca, una ricostruzione alla luce delle leggi della fisica e dei modelli dell'antica architettura. La totale mancanza di resti materiali riduce la pure affascinante ipotesi di Orsini ad un frutto di fantasia. 📕 Baldassare Orsini, Scenografia del sepolcro di Porsenna, in Supplemento II del Signor Baldassare Orsini alla precedente, in Accademia Etrusca di Cortona, "Saggi di dissertazioni accademiche pubblicamente lette nella nobile Accademia Etrusca di Cortona Tomo I. [-IX], tomo IX. Firenze, 1791. ℹ Per approfondire si consiglia la lettura del saggio di Patrizia Rocchini, Baldassare Orsini: le antichità perugine e il mitico sepolcro di Porsenna, in “Cortona Etrusca: dal mito all’archeologia”, Tiphys edizioni, 2017. #MAECcortona #MAEC #accademiaetrusca #cortonagram #porsenna #baldassarreorsini @bibliotecacortona #bibliotecacortona #architettura #saggididissertazione #cortona #etruschi #sepolcro #tomba #plinioilvecchio #naturalishistoria @comunediCortona (presso Maec Cortona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_hjdJi-KE/?igshid=gkuxhukqsst2
@chocolatechippi Thanks hon. It's probably been a long time coming, but I thought she could make it another week or two. But we'll see tomorrow I guess. @porsenna Thanks Liv. Here's hoping ❤️ @sirsniffum Thanks ❤️
Dumbledore/Grindelwald or Dumbledore/socks
Oh wow, that’s tough. Dumbledore/socks has a special place in my heart. But still… I think I’m going to have to go with Dumbledore/Grindelwald. It was so very close! Forgive me, fellow Sockledore shippers!
