#* source / pico series
Note
I am recently going through all your Ficino posts with great joy (I need a new historical rabbit hole!). Do you have any preferred sources to recommend if I want to start reding or listening in for more grounding on his life, weirdness, philosophy, and all the other funky queer Florentine folk surrounding him?
yessss come down the rabbit hole with me! He is such a delightful weirdo <3 Get ready to learn so much about Saturn and Saturn's Malice (which is not in the room with us, calm down Ficino).
He's a hard one because, in English, there aren't really any biographies on him. (Italian, obviously, is a different story.)
A lot of the grounding works - good essay collections, academic texts etc. - are prohibitively expensive. They can range from $100cad to over $400cad, depending on the work. This is because most are purely that: academic texts. Meaning the print run was like 100 copies and all were bought by university libraries lol
He is also not a well known figure outside of those who study quattrocento Italy or those who study Platonism and other philosophical movements. Some of those who operate in the occult world are familiar with him due to his writings on astrology and natural magic.
Florence also had a huge flood that tragically decked a lot of their older archives and that has also sadly impacted many historians' work in the early modern field.
Now, all this said, I'm going to give you my current piecemeal recommendations:
Eight Philosophers of the Italian Renaissance - Paul Kristeller - a classic survey work based on a lecture series he gave in like the 60s, I want to say. It's very much "what it says on the tin" and provides a healthy overview of eight philosophers of the Renaissance. Ficino is one of them and it's a good place to start on who/what/where/when/why.
Others are those like Bruno, Pico Della Mirandola, Valla, Petrarch etc. All worth knowing something about because they either knew Ficino or influenced him or were influenced by him.
Kristeller wrote a lot on Ficino and is one of the "founders" I would say of the 20th century revival in the interest in Ficino. So, noodle around his works as there is always something interesting in them. They are dated, he was writing in the 60s - 90s, but it's broadly good stuff.
---
Volume 1 of Ficino's Letters, 2nd edition (make sure it's the second edition). This has great front material that goes into him and his life, positions him in the period and those who he knew and was corresponding with.
I will say, they do write in the introduction: "He [Ficino] was apparently the least active of men. It is probable that in his sixty-six years he never set foot outside the territory of Florence and the record of his life is little more than a chronicle of his books."
Which I take umbridge over as his life was very interesting, people just haven't dug into it to the degree they should.** Like, what was going on in the 1480s with all those land disputes over his father's will between him and his brothers? We need details! We need the family gossip! Alas, we don't have it as it may not exist, anymore, or the related legal papers are in an archive and it's not been made available to the public.
--
**Note: Paul Kristeller, and others, make occasional references to someone who was working on an English biography of Ficino. But this would have been in the 80s and 90s and nothing appears to have come of it. So I presume that project is languishing in someone's desk drawer.
There was talk of Arthur Farndell publishing a biography but I haven't seen any signs of it - last I heard mention would have been in the early 00s. Farndell's done most of the modern translations of Ficino's works, so he's quite prolific and you'll see his name a lot.
--
Ficino's Letter Collection (the remaining volumes) - there are 12 volumes of letters that Ficino began pulling together in the 1470s, but he regularly added to, edited, and tweaked the collection over the course of his life.
Letter collections of this sort were a genre of writing at this time and would have been understood to be a vehicle for expounding on philosophical or political issues rather than literal transcriptions of letters written to people.
Which is to say, Ficino did write some iteration of the letters included to the recipients identified. But what was printed, the manuscript editions we have, are highly edited for the purpose of public edification. This does make it super interesting to see what personal details he chooses to leave in.
For example, November 10, 1476 Ficino writes to Cavalcanti about some theological works he was putting together. Ficino also notes that he is returning to Florence soon, he had been at his father's country farm/house/thing, and he intreats Cavalcanti to also return to Florence so "we may at least be close companions in the city, even if we have not been close companions in the country this summer."
Now, as an addendum after the farewell Ficino includes this gem:
"But why do I write nothing about the recent birth of your third daughter? Because you did not write a word to me. Do you wish me to tell the truth? I will not write a word about this before I hear whether I am to congratulate or to console you. But rejoice in the gifts of the Great King, whatever they may be, for nothing from the great is mean or worthy of scorn."
What an interesting bit of personal correspondence to keep in a letter set meant to bring people closer to Platonic ideals of love, civic duty, and their relationship with the divine.
But all of Ficino's letters to Cavalcanti are odd like that. They're half personal correspondence ("I'm sad and bored, please write me!!!" or "I have Luigi Pulci. So much. Have I told you that recently? Hate him. I love everyone in the entire world with every fibre of my soul except Gigi. Fuck Gigi." etc.) and half actual philosophical musings.
Anyway, the letter collections are worth reading. Each volume also includes relevant historical details on what was happening in his life or the broader world at that time. So, for example, the back matter for Vol 4 dives into the Pazzi conspiracy since that is relevant to the letters of that volume (and Vol. 5 to be fair).
---
De Vita (Three Books of Life) - Carol Kaske and John Clark - This is Ficino's "medical" text plus the third book which is where Ficino is like "and this is how you use magical properties of certain stones, sigils, planets, and daemons to heal yourself" and other normal things like that. (He broadly fits into the mode of natural healing magic that was very common for the time - magic/medicine/science all being tangled together in the medieval and early modern period - however he does go a bit further than some. This is the book that got him into hot water with the Church.) Ficino was the son of a doctor and studied and practiced medicine so it makes sense he added medical texts to his repertoire.
I have version put out by The Renaissance Society of America: Renaissance Text Series with critical notes and introduction by Carol Kaske and John Clark.
High recommend, if only for the front notes and introduction. They do a great job positioning Ficino in the broader intellectual landscape of the time. They do a bit of attempting to track his education which wasn't as formal as one might think (he attended the University of Florence but I don't think he ever graduated. He was self-taught in many respects). They also get into what his thoughts on magic were and how they fit, or didn't fit, with the broader framework of faith and magical practices of Ficino's contemporaries.
In addition, they get into how his medical and magical thinking differs from others, where he was innovative, where he leaned on existing traditions, and the repercussions of having published this text.
---
The Bookseller of Florence - Ross King - this is a great, vey accessible book. It uses Vespasiano's life, a contemporary of Ficino, as a lens through which to explore the manifold changes in manuscript/book creation and distribution that were happening over the course of the fifteenth century.
The book also weaves in the shifting intellectual, religious, and political movements and the big, and small, players that participated and influenced these changes. Naturally, Ficino makes appearances throughout and he is described delightfully.
But I highly recommend it as a means to get a backdrop of the intellectual and political world Ficino was born into and operated within. Also, there's fun gossip about people in it and that's always a plus.
An example of some humourous bits:
"Ficino was scholarly and pious, [Luigi] Pulci (known as Gigi) boisterously scandalous, famous for his insults, invective, and sarcastic humour; he also had an unblushing fondness for taverns, brothels, and black magic. He lived up to his surname (Pulci means "fleas")--a maddenly irritating parasite. As one Florentine frantically complained in a letter to Lorenzo [de' Medici], "Gigi is annoying, Gigi has a bad tongue, Gigi is crazy, Gigi is arrogant, Gigi spreads scandal, Gigi has a thousand faults." Ficino triumphed when Gigi wrote a series of sonnets scorning pilgrims, miracles, preachers, and the doctrine of the immortal soul--and, in doing so, Ficino declared, made himself "odious to God" [...]"
Phenomenal. None of them should ever change. Also just the mental image of this pissed off Florentine frantically writing to Lorenzo "Get this man OUT of our City or so help me God!!"
---
Friend to Mankind: Marsilio Ficino - editor Michael Shepherd - ok so this is an essay collection that is really hit and miss. More misses than hits, now that I'm looking at it. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way for it, but if you see it in like a bargain bin or something it's worth picking up.
That said, there are a few essays in it that are worth finding, if you can:
"Fellow Philosophers," Linda Proud (this one is Great if you want the hilarious hot gossip of Pico Della Mirandola, Poliziano, and Ficino squabbling over Plato's concepts of Love. Well, Pico and Ficino cat-fight over it, if in a loving fashion. Poliziano eats popcorn and laughs.)
"In Praise of the One - Marsilio Ficino and Advaita," Arthur Farndell
"Ficino and Astrology," Geoffrey Pearce
"Ficino on the Nature of Love and the Beautiful," Joseph Milne
---
On the Nature of Love: Ficino on Plato's Symposium - translation by Arthur Farndell
It is 100% worth reading Ficino's commentaries on Plato's Symposium if only because I am convinced he wrote the entire thing as a love letter to Giovanni Cavalcanti.
---
Marsilio Ficino and His World - Sophia Howlett - if you can find this at the local library or used somewhere and it's not $150 I recommend it. This is the overview book that I think you're after that doesn't really exist in English, aside from here.
---
Marsilio Ficino: His Theology, His Philosophy, His Legacy - editors Michael Allen and Valery Rees - This is another expensive one, sitting around $250/$300 - but I've read excerpts from it and all that I have read is amazing.
It's an essay collection covering his thoughts on Hermeticism, Plotinus, the soul and primacy of will, musical therapy (Ficino was very keen on musical therapy), Jewish concepts of the prisca theologia, the 15th c. Plato-Aristotle controversy among other philosophical items. There are also essays exploring his influence on art, thinkers, and writers both in his own lifetime as well as throughout history.
---
Plato's Persona: Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Humanism, and Platonic Traditions - Denis Robichaud - I just spent too much money and bought this book. Will report back as I read it - however, based on the excerpts I read online, I'm super stoked.
Robichoud seems to be exploring how Ficino wrote and created his sense of self through interpretation of Platonic writings and thought. There's lots of stuff about how Ficino interacts with Plato and interprets and understands himself as, like, Plato's "spokesperson" if not a full extension of Plato himself.
---
I hope this helps! Ficino's such a weird little man and I love him. I hope you enjoy going down the rabbit hole as much as I have - and I'm always here to talk Ficino, or anything early modern Italy really. <3 <3

New Year's Resolutions
Hey everybody. It's a new year. Happy New Year!
Gamedev Blogging
Last year I have fallen behind on posting gamedev stuff. It's mostly because there is no good way to format code listings in the new editor. So this year, I am not even going to try eith gamedev tutorials on tumblr. I might post them elsewhere and just link them. I have already taken a look at Cohost, but It doesn't have the features I need. Wouldn't it be cook if you could post pico-8 carts on cohost? Or source code listings? Or LaTeX? I might as well write the HTML by hand and host it somewhere. But that won't be the focus of this blog in 2024.
Instead I'm going to do more tumblr posting about game design, just less on the code side. It will be more on the screenshot side. First thing will be about my 2023 Game Of The Year. It will probably surprise you. I did not expect it to be this good. You can also expect something about some of my old prototypes. Over the years I have started and abandoned game prototypes after either concluding that the idea won't work and can't be made to work, or after learning what I needed to learn. What did I learn? Wait and find out!
Computer Litaracy
I'll also attempt to write more about general computing and "computer literacy" topics. I have two particular "series" or "categories" in mind already. Almost Good: Technologies that sound great when you hear abut them, but that don't work as well as you might think when you try them out. Harmful Assumptions About Computing: Non-technical people often have surprising ideas about how computers work. As a technically inclined person, you don't even realise how far these unspoken assumptions about computers can reach.
Usability of computers and software seems to have gotten worse rather than better in many aspects, while computers have become entrenched in every workplace, our private lives, and in our interactions with corporations and government services. Computer literacy has also become worse in certain ways, and I think I know some reasons why.
There will also be some posts about forum moderation and community management. It's rather basic and common-sense stuff, but I want to spell it out.
Actual Game Development
I am going to release a puzzle game in 2024. You will be able to buy it for money. You can hold me to it. This is my biggest New Year's Resolution.
I will continue to work on two games of mine. One will be the game I just mentioned. The other is Wyst. I put the project on ice because I was running out of inspiration for a while, but I think I am sufficiently inspired now. I will pick it up again and add two more worlds to the game, and get it into a "complete" state. I'll also have to do a whole lot of playtesting. This may be the last time I touch Unity3d.
I will try out two new engines and write one or two proof-of-concept games in each of them, maybe something really simple like "Flappy Bird", and one game jam "warm-up" thing, with the scope of a Ludum Dare compo game. Maybe that means I'll write Tetris or Pong multiple times. I probably won't put the "Pong in Godot" on itch.io page next to a "Pong in Raylib" and "Pong in Bevy", but I'll just put the code on my GitHub. The goal is to have more options for a game jam, so I can decide to use Godot if it is a better fit for the jam topic.
In the past, I have always reached for PyGame by default, because Python is the language that has flask and Django and sqlalchemy and numpy and pyTorch, and because I mostly want to make games in 2D. I want to get out of my comfort zone. In addition to the general-purpose game engines, I will try to develop something in bitsy, AGS, twine, pico-8 or Ren'Py. I want to force myself to try a different genre this way. Maybe I'll make an archaeologist dating simulator.
All in all, this means I will so significant work on two existing projects, revisit some old failed prototypes to do a postmortem, I'll write at least six new prototypes, and two new jam games, plus some genre/narrative experiments. That's a lot already. So here's an anti-resolution: I won't even try to develop any of my new prototypes into full releases. I will only work on existing projects from 2023 or before if I develop anything into playable demo versions or full games. I won't get sidetracked by the next Ludum Dare game, I promise. After the jam is over, I'll put down the project, at least until 2025.

Apparently I NEVER made a "Clockboy in Video Games" post, but I do, in fact, have some screenshots from some games saved on my computer... so I did some more digging and I have a pretty decent list of games he has appeared in!
"Clockboy" is the nickname I've given to the clockface on the "it's a small world" ride facade in the Disney theme parks. All of these are based primarily around the versions seen in the non-Paris version of the ride, so I unfortunately do not have any appearances listed of the sun/moon face.
If there are any I'm missing, feel free to tell me! These are important to my big Clockboy archive that I've been working on! :-)
For clarification, the qualifications for something to appear here are...
it must be include the clock face from the "it's a small world" facade -- this is my main interest regarding the history of the facade, so some games that feature it without the clockface are not included
this goes the same for if a game includes the song, but not the clockface, as well
(Note: a lot of this is based on research rather than first-hand experience playing most of these games, so apologies if I am missing things or incorrect about some info!)
Mickey no Tokyo Disneyland Stamp Rally (1996)
This is, as far as I can tell, his first appearance in a video game. This game is a Japan-exclusive on the Sega Pico. Essentially, you go around Tokyo Disneyland and complete mini-games to earn stamps. In the background of Fantasyland, you see a very silly looking Clockboy.
Tumblr media
Ultimate Ride (2001)
The next known appearance is in the game "Ultimate Ride", which had additional versions named "Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe" and "Disney Coaster" that were published in 2002. All three games were Disney's answer to the Roller Coaster Tycoon and Theme Park/Sims Theme Park series. I can't find a lot of specifics on small world's role in the game, as I have not played the games yet, but the version of the facade used is the one from Disneyland in the late 80's to early 2000's.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(images submitted by @/groonklie)
Virtual Magic Kingdom (2005)
I think I played VMK for like... a week in the mid-late 2000's. My cousins were really into it, which is the only reason I loosely remembered this game's existence enough to check for some small world presence, and sure enough, there is... but in the form of a store.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, in the same vein as Toontown Rewritten, it does look like there is a fan-made VMK project trying to recreate the game in the works, which seemingly is still updated... I might check it out at some point just for higher resolution screenshots of the in-game store.
Epic Mickey (2010)
I am 90% sure this is the most well-known video game appearance of Clockboy, where he appears as the first main boss of the game. He actually has two designs in this game, depending on whether or not the player chooses to defeat him (thinner route) or save him (paint route).
This is how he appears in the boss fight:
Tumblr media
...and this is how he appears afterward if you save him.
Tumblr media
His in-game design varies from some of the released Epic Mickey concept art (sourced from here)...
Tumblr media
...which varies from his appearance in Epic Mickey: Tales of Wasteland, where he looks pretty normal (sourced from here)...
Tumblr media
(there's also this zoomed out version of the facade that kills me... where is his face?! why is it white when the facade is clearly not when they're close to it?!)
Tumblr media
...which varies from his appearance in the graphic novelization (sourced from here)...
Tumblr media
Also, there's an in-game pin you can get with him if you choose to defeat him that looks closest to his graphic novel appearance:
Tumblr media
Kinect: Disneyland Adventures (2011)
Unsurprisingly, the whole facade makes in appearance in this game, since it's pretty much just a walking sim to enjoy the park (with some mini games thrown in for good measure). I haven't played this so I don't know much about it other than it looks a little uncanny, and Clockboy is extremely reflective, for some reason.
Tumblr media
Researching this game a bit more, I learned an artist I really like and have been following for a while on Twitter (@/shoomlah) posted a thread of some really nice concept art they did for the game, which you can view here!
Disneyland Explorer (2012)
Was unsure whether or not to count this one but it is technically a game, but in this iOS app, he's essentially just a picture. When you click on him, you get some trivia and it lets you play a mini-game.
Tumblr media
(source: this video by jsland)
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (2012)
He makes an appearance in the "dioramas" section of the game -- I have not played Epic Mickey 2 so I am not 100% familiar with the context of these (aside from them being dioramas based on boss fights from the first game)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is also some visdev work for this portion of the game where you can get a better view of his face minus the blooming lighting:
Tumblr media
Also, in this section, the little loading symbol has the most normal looking version of his face out of all of these
Tumblr media
The Epic Mickey Wiki is a good source for some more artwork and models, for those who are interested -- I won't put all of the files here, but it's really cool to see!
(Also, as far as I can tell, the clocktower did not return in Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, but I could be wrong)
Disney Infinity 2.0 and 3.0 (2014 and 2015)
After doing some digging, I found out that he has two different appearances in the Disney Infinity series: one as the whole facade (as an outdoor set piece)...
Tumblr media
...and one as just his face (as an interior item)...
Tumblr media
It appears the method of obtaining them was by tapping a Magicband to the scanner, which is pretty cute :'-)
Disney Emoji-Blitz (2016)
There appear to be two versions of him that appeared in Emoji Blitz... I cannot for the life of me find more detailed information about them
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not even 100% sure the one of just the clockface is in the game, but it comes up if you search the right phrase on google so *shrugs*
(Here it is at it’s normal size, the one above is blown up):
Tumblr media
Disney Magic Kingdoms (2016)
this is a mobile game with the typical mobile game issues but the facade design they use for small world is SOOOO cute... very reminiscent of Hong Kong Disneyland's version of the ride:
Tumblr media
Also when the ride is like, in the process of being built (cannot remember the lore-reason it's in darkness), it looks like this:
Tumblr media
Disney Wonderful Worlds (2021)
This is another mobile game appearance... This one is a little tricky to find as the game is already defunct as of mid-2022, so the only images I can find are through YouTube videos. Disney Wonderful Worlds is a match-3 and park builder game, and you eventually unlock the ability to place the attraction down and a VERY spinny Clockboy is on the facade.
Tumblr media
(source: this video from Rawerdxd)
Anyway, I believe this covers all his appearances! I hope I’m not missing any, but feel free to let me know if I am, and what the source is so I can add to this!
Sorry if any of the images are messed up on mobile view, I’m unsure how to fix it since Tumblr is actively hostile to images lately. :’-(

@dizzyhslightlyvoided
Since I cannot reblog the original post (because OP has blocked me), I have no other choice but to make my own post with my reply:
I am NOT a "full-tilt hate blog". To be honest, I have never ever hated anything, as "hate" is a strong word; my beef with those Madoka-likes is that they crank up on the nastiness, making its original source of inspiration look tame in comparison. It's as if they were written by redditors from the r/Im14AndThisIsDeep page!
And speaking of Madoka, I was finally learning to appreciate it thanks to its spinoff, Magia Record, but that doesn't mean it's free from being criticized, no. Hell, I've talked about how the animated adaptation was a full-blown disaster because Gekidan Inu Curry, the directors, didn't knew how the Magical Girl genre functioned despite working on a Magical Girl anime for 10 years, not to mention that they had the writer of BOKU NO MOTHERFUCKING PICO on the staff.
Thanks to that shitshow, I had no other choice but to DEFEND the original anime's ending; that how low my bar is, fam. At least, in the OG series, each of the Holy Quintet girls had impactful send-offs; they were just used as Nostalgia Bait in the MagiReco anime!
Sure, my past critics towards Madoka Magica have been quite harsh (also, I was still rather fresh to Tumblr at the time, so I was clumsily trying to navigate through it), but let it be known that I am not against heavier themes in media; I just want them to be treated with the seriousness that they deserve.
When it comes to media and narratives in general, I have this personal philosophy: There are no bad ideas, only bad executions. Ergo, these Madoka-likes were brimming with lots of potential for new and fresh stories. But how these stories were handled... UGH...
I could've loved the idea of a magical girl battle royale. I could've loved the idea of magical girls using their powers for revenge and/or punish those who have abused and bullied them. I could've loved the idea of magical girls navigating in a post-apocalyptic world...
...but how much of a monster do you have to be to have a trans child, a lesbian couple, and a pregnant woman on your body count list? How twisted do you have to be to shamelessly use magical girls as child soldiers and treat disabilities like a punishment and a fate worse than death? How much of a disgusting sadist do you have to be to torture a magical girl SO much to the point that she starts contemplating suicide?!
These executions aren't just bad; they are absolutely ATROCIOUS! I think I am justified to be pissed off at these types of series!
And also, before anyone says that I am biased on my critics, think again. Do you know which non-grimdark MG series that I have criticized about at some point on this here blog? Steven Universe, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, Miraculous Ladybug, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Hugtto PreCure, Wedding Peach, just to name a few.
I repeat: @magicalgirlagency is NOT a "full-tilt hate blog"; it is a criticism blog. I was never against darker narratives; I just hate how they're always so poorly handled.
You're 100% free to enjoy those "crawling-in-my-skin" types of series. You can enjoy series like Berserk, Evangelion, Attack On Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, and whatever's on the market right now!
Just don't put these series on a high pedestal and worship them to an unhealthily religious degree, and absolutely do not trample on regular Magical Girl series with brighter narratives to make them look superior. If you do that, then there's CLEARLY a bias.
You can enjoy grimdark, just don't let it take over your life.

I apologize in advance for the long F/O list. I have a very big heart and a lot of love to go around.
As stated in my abt me post, my main is @r3d4rmy and is where the majority of my non-F/O content gets reblogged, this includes just normal art of F/Os. However the tagging system for characters will be the same over there as it is her!
Reminder; I love interacting with people who share F/Os with me! :D
List goes alphabetical by series name then name.
[Name] | [Source] | [Tag]
Updated as of; 01/22/24
F/O count: 56 (Oh lawrt x.x)
btw not all of my F/Os will be listed, only my carrd (which I choose not to share) has all of them. Instead I am just gonna list the ranks I think are important. I split my carrd up by 5 ranks; mains, brainrot, major, minor, and the backrooms. The backrooms are the only rank not listed and not included in the F/O count. Some F/Os from other ranks are also not included for personal reasons.

Pronto mejorará el tiempo y será el momento de pensar en viajes por la República Checa, o en dónde pasar unas vacaciones en la República Checa para redescubrir su belleza. Como conocer las montañas de Krkonoše en Chequia. Con el artículo de hoy empiezo una serie de consejos sobre dónde ir en la República Checa. Tanto a lugares a los que no va mucha gente como a lugares muy conocidos. Personalmente, me encantan las montañas. Solía ir allí con mis padres tanto en verano como en invierno. Afortunadamente, las montañas no están nunca demasiado lejos en la República Checa, pero es cierto que algunas de ellas están un poco llenas de gente. La ventaja de los más visitadas es que hay una infraestructura totalmente desarrollada y, por lo tanto, normalmente nunca tendrás hambre ni sed y siempre podrás dormir. Y el primer lugar de este tipo serán las montañas más altas de la República Checa, las Krkonoše. Picos entre dos regiones y dos países Krkonoše son unas montañas situadas en el extremo norte del país, que abarcan dos regiones y se extienden hasta Polonia. También se encuentra la montaña más alta de la República Checa, Sněžka (1603 m), y la cascada más alta de la República Checa, Pančavský vodopád (148 m). Según la leyenda, el señor de las montañas es Krakonoš, en alemán Rueberzahl, sobre el que se rodó una serie de cuentos para niños llamada Krkonošské pohádky (Krkonoše Fairy Tales) y que encanta a los niños checos. La cresta de Krkonoše tiene 35 km de longitud y unos 20 km de ancho. Empiezan en el oeste, en el collado Novosvětské sedlo (888 m), y terminan en el este, en el collado de Královecké sedlo (516 m), y juntos cubren unos 454 km² en la República Checa. Un total de 54 picos tienen más de 1000m en la parte checa. Los picos de la cordillera son planos y caen abruptamente hacia el noreste, en Polonia, donde tienen dos ojos glaciares, Wielki y Maly Stav. Estos tipos de ojos no se encuentran en la parte checa. En el lado opuesto, en el suroeste, las laderas están divididas por profundos valles con pendientes más suavemente. https://youtu.be/ystkGA4HiA0 Krkonoše, source: youtube.com En las montañas de Krkonoše, que se extienden por dos regiones, se encuentra uno de los parques nacionales checos, varias estaciones de esquí, la más importante de las cuales es Špindlerův Mlýn, pero también otras más pequeñas como Harrachov, Pec pod Sněžkou, Rokytnice nad Jizerou y muchas otras. Se puede esquiar tanto en descenso como en esquí de fondo, aunque debido a su perfil, el esquí de fondo en las montañas de Krkonoše es ligeramente más difícil que en las vecinas montañas Jizerské hory. Krkonoše ofrece hermosas vistas panorámicas tanto en invierno como para los excursionistas o ciclistas en otras épocas del año. En la cima nace un río, Labe, al que se une el Vltava en las tierras bajas cerca de Mělník, antes de que las aguas del Elba desemboquen en el Mar Báltico. Anécdota que llama la atención a extranjeros Curiosamente, incluso en la Checoslovaquia socialista existía el llamado Camino de la Amistad Checoslovaco-Polaco, que conducía en parte por el lado checo y en parte por el polaco. Hoy, en la era de la UE, cuando podemos cruzar la frontera por cualquier sitio, parece normal, pero antes no era así y sólo se podía cruzar por los pasos oficiales. Aun así, había soldados vigilando los picos. La verdad es que nadie corrió a Polonia, por lo que no había alambre de espino. Población y vida en la montaña Dado que se trata de una región fronteriza y el otro lado no era Polonia sino la Prusia alemana, la población siempre ha sido tanto checa como alemana. Esta diversidad también se reflejó en la arquitectura local. Las cabañas rústicas tienen mucho encanto, sobre todo las de los prados de la zona. La vida allí no ha sido más fácil, ya que el clima es duro, con tundra ártico-alpina en las partes altas. La gente se ganaba la vida con el pastoreo, trabajando en la industria textil. No había mucha agricultura en la región, salvo el pastoreo de vacas.
Hoy en día, estas casas en las montañas suelen servir como hoteles, restaurantes, etc. Las montañas son hermosas y escarpadas, el tiempo puede cambiar de un minuto a otro. Y aunque puedas conocer las montañas de Krkonoše, todos los años eligen a sus víctimas. Víctimas de ellas fueron los más famosos son Hanč y Vrbata. En la Semana Santa de 1913, se celebró una carrera de esquiadores de fondo checos y alemanes en Krkonoše. La carrera de 50 kilómetros comenzó en Labská bouda. Sin embargo, el tiempo empeoró durante la carrera, llegó la niebla, hizo mucho frío y cayó una tormenta de nieve. La competición se canceló debido al mal tiempo, pero Bohumil Hanč permaneció en la pista. Su amigo Václav Vrbata fue a buscarlo y lo encontró en las Piedras de Harrach, le dio su abrigo al mal vestido Hanč y fue a buscar ayuda. Sin embargo, murió en una tormenta de nieve. Hanč fue encontrado por Emmerich Rath, un colega alemán, que lo arrastró hasta Labská bouda, pero al final también fue a buscar ayuda. Aunque fue transportado allí, Hanč acabó muriendo. Este acontecimiento se conmemora hoy con el montículo de Hanč y Vrbata. Sugerencia de ruta Las montañas de Krkonoše son muy accesibles y en ellas se practica el senderismo desde hace varios siglos. Por eso tiene probablemente la infraestructura más desarrollada de todas las montañas checas. No son grandes, por lo que se puede cruzar la cresta principal en 2 días de un lado a otro. Es muy fácil conocer las montañas de Krkonoše. Si es la primera vez que visita los Krkonoše, supongo que podría ir a Sněžka como su montaña más alta. Para los perezosos, hay un teleférico hasta la cima de la montaña, pero ocurre que la espera para llegar a él puede ser más larga que el propio viaje. Así que considera esto. Para los menos perezosos, también existe la opción de tomar el teleférico sólo hasta la mitad de la Montaña Rosa y caminar el resto. El teleférico sale de Pec pod Sněžkou, al que puede llegar cómodamente desde Praga en coche o autobús, o puede reservar un servicio completo con ida y vuelta, guía, alojamiento y otros servicios según sus necesidades y tiempo con nosotros. Pero definitivamente es una excursión de un día fuera de la ciudad. Cómo disfrutar de Sněžka a pie Probablemente el camino más bello, pero también el más difícil, para llegar a Sněžka es el valle de la Obří důl, que fue formado por el glaciar Úpa y dejó tres morrenas. Los otros valles que desembocan aquí también son de origen glaciar. El valle de Obří důl se formó por la acción de un glaciar cuaternario de hasta 100 m de espesor. En el pasado, aquí se encontraban varias minas de minerales metálicos. A lo largo de su recorrido encontrará valiosas plantas como la canéfora primaveral alpina, la hierba de lanza oscura y otras. El camino a Sněžka lleva desde Pec pod Sněžkou, a través del aparcamiento de Kaplička, por el sendero azul hasta el teleférico, Obří Důl, Obří sedlo, a lo largo del Camino de la Amistad Checo-Polaco. Por supuesto, esta no es la única vía, hay más posibilidades. Otras rutas son las de Špindlerův Mlýn, Velká Úpa o incluso Pomezní boudy, que es la más fácil de todas las rutas de senderismo y se puede recorrer fácilmente incluso con niños. Sin embargo, no espere la soledad. Como he escrito, estas montañas están casi siempre llenas de gente. Al final del verano incluso se pueden recoger arándanos frescos a lo largo de los senderos. Sin duda, ¡disfrutarás de un bocado azul entero! ¡Coma como un local! Si le entra hambre, la especialidad local es el kyselo, que es una sopa espesa hecha con pan de masa fermentada con setas y huevo y patatas. Seguro que ahuyenta el hambre, ya que es espeso y está preparado para satisfacer el hambre de los tipos duros que trabajan en las colinas del bosque. Siempre cuando voy allí y la tienen, voy por esta sopa rica. Entre otros platos adecuados, pero más veraniegos, recomiendo las albóndigas de harina rellenas de frutas. Ya sea con levadura o con requesón, que personalmente pref
iero. Las albóndigas se rellenan con arándanos, fresas y otras frutas de temporada y se sirven con requesón, rociadas con mantequilla fundida y espolvoreadas con azúcar. No es dietético, pero morirá de hambre en las montañas. Se puede regar con cerveza Krakonoš. La última vez que estuve allí con mis amigos italianos, rechazaron las albóndigas, diciendo que no comerían el postre como plato principal, pero se equivocaron. Yo las tomé, estaban deliciosas y mientras su salmón no era bueno. Así que la recomendación es, ¡comer en la zona y probar las especialidades locales! Por supuesto, hay más platos locales, pero hablaremos de ellos en otra ocasión, así como de otros viajes para conocer las montañas de Krkonoše. Para más consejos sobre viajes a Krkonoše, organización, alojamientos, póngase en contacto con nosotros! Y si quieres conocer las montañas de Krkonoše en Chequia- Parte II, solo tienes que esperar un poco.

C, H, and J for that fandom meme?
Sure!
C: A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)
Ehhh I don’t know, I don’t make a big deal about ships. Probably anything with Eddsworld x Neighbors, Pico x Nene, Pico x Darnell, Whitty x Carol, and Sarvente x Ruv? I have nothing against them but I just don’t see it sdkjfnskjs
H: What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
What does this mean ASDNKJFDSK
My fandoms are usually animated series, so that’s probably my favorite source text!
J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over Tumblr
I’d say none tbh all my fandoms were before I saw them on Tumblr

5 Cool Droid Apps We Love, 5 Great Reasons To Obtain A Free Motorola Android
I wants to share my thoughts regarding powerful rumours which can be piling with a advanced popular Window Cellphone operating console. At present, the talk-of-the town simple fact most from the mobile phone companies may dropping Window Mobile OS on their next coming series electronic devices. According to some people, 50% of HTC phones to powered by Android the next time werrrll. If you love to travel regularly then the GPS feature of the Tattoo very useful in which you. Persona 5 Royal plaza is the feature through which you can locate your way yourself which can search for the important landmarks as good. On the other hand, digital compass is also available in this smart device through who you can get informed about the direction when you are. A rather popular style of the Android phone will be the Samsung Beam i8520. As well as to its pico projector feature, it runs on Android technology for its operating program. The pico projector allows users of that phone to project pretty much anything in their phone onto a wall mounted. Persona 5 Royal Repack makes bringing a portable projector a simple convenience. In addition, high definition tv smart capability of phones . inside - the aforesaid Android os in this handset and the Touch Wiz skin created by Samsung. This phone comes with an 8-megapixel camera, rendering it it best of all than other handheld cameras! I know I find myself online more and many more from my BlackBerry. I check out scores of games, from stock quotes, check email, look up store locations, etc. Individuals are moving to some more mobile platform to buy information on the fly. This is not new news, or even Apple iPhone has great way viewing only one channel the "actual internet" rather than watered down version websites we get now. It is really matter electricity before a lot of phones, hopefully BlackBerry, could have the web sites the way they end up being viewed. I know I'd prefer to look at sites much the same way I view them from my PC and I would spend somewhat more time using the web from my phone, considerably more than simply could view sites through doing this. That way is coming to more phones in the not to distant future and signifies more time on the world wide web. IMO, this one of five best free Android entertainment apps. It's Fandango! If you don't know what it is, you should download it immediately as well as begin to very impressed at this product app accomplish! I love going to movies there is nothing only need this single app based on all of my movie needs- what they may wind up being. The Evo 4G comes included with YouTube's first HQ player on a mobile phone, which allows users to look after near HD quality YouTube videos. You should also watch those videos, and ones recorded with have a lot HD camera on your TV through the Evo's HDMI out interface. Still not done. Persona 5 Royal Crack is one highly esteemed Android phone. The Nexus One handset, manufactured by Google, is actually with this Android voice. In actuality, the HTC Desire is upgrading of its original model. The display screen is almost four inches big and uses an Amoled WVGA display. It utilizes a snapdragon processor that functions on the Android a number of.1 operating system. This phone also bestows the usage of Adobe Flash (the 10.1 version). To help the user operate the system, just in case you is a bit of screen that also includes optical joystick and track pad technique. Easily really free Android weather app available each morning Android Market; it's even the most popular Android app in the next thunderstorm category. The state run Weather Channel app provides weather updates straight in one of probably the most respected weather sources. You're able set a default place to get regular updates without having done any anything if you don't. The last thing I'll say about this app: great for you . download this app for those Android blackberry.

Hey, I don’t know if I’m your first anon, but boy howdy, I am one! xp
Do you think you could do the main trio (BF, GF, and Pico) with a ftm S/O who has some severe gender dysphoria and unhealthy behavior because of it? (like, binds their chest way too tightly, uses ace bandages, etc)
If it’s too dark/ not something you’re comfortable with, maybe some reader celebrating spooky month with Skid and Pump instead?
thanks, from 🦊 (fox)
Guess what? You are my first Anon! Congrats Fox!
I decided to do a poly relationship with a oneshot, so I hope that's okay with you.
TW: Dysphoria, unhealthy behaviour, some angst, swearing, and use of the “q-word” (It’s not used negatively).
BF, GF, and Pico (poly) x ftm S/O who harms himself out of dysphoria
You came out as a trans man to your partners, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, and Pico, almost as soon as you realised it. They were already queer when it came to their attractions, giving you the hope they would have no issue with you being trans. Thankfully, they accepted you right then and there, immediately asking you about new names, Girlfriend joking about calling everyone her reverse harem, and trying out your he/him pronouns. All of it was so validating and euphoric, but that eventually faded as you now focused on your transitioning.
Days of wearing dysphoria hoodies later, you got your first chest binder. It was from a reliable source that has a good reputation from the other trans men online. It was a struggle to put on, but you got it eventually. And as you looked into the mirror for the first time, you could hardly describe the bliss of how flat your chest looked now.
But even in that moment, as you pressed on your bounded chest, you thought 'it could look flatter.'
You lived in a sort of cursed happiness for the next two weeks. You had some extended stays in the bathroom, adjusting your breasts to make it look flatter, but there were still those moments where there was just a bit too much chest sticking out. You just couldn't rely on your partners or a single binder to boost your confidence anymore at that point.
You grabbed some duct tape and ace bandages from around the house and began experimenting with them, wrapping up your chest until it looked good enough to combine with the binder. Before you look a look in the mirror, you could already tell that it worked. Like, really worked. And if it wasn't for the fact that it hurt like hell, you would be jumping up and down from excitement. 'I'll get used to it,' you foolishly thought.
~~~~~
"Hey (Y/N)! Get your mic, Girlfriend's got the speakers up already!"
Hearing Pico calling out to you snapped you out of your internet browsing on your phone, also causing some accidental chest pain. But you sucked it up like you have been for some months and got ready. You never got used to the tight binding, but the appearance made it worth the hassle.
"There's my little reverse harem!" Girlfriend squealed as you, Boyfriend, and Pico all walked outside together. Boyfriend rushed up closer to the speakers claiming one side as his own while singing a little gibberish tune. Boyfriend always wants to be one of the first to go.
What's going on? Well, you and your partners have this tradition to all have a series of rap battles together every Friday. Each song, you would all take turns swapping around until everyone got to challenge everyone. Sometimes you would team up in pairs for the songs. Those who weren't singing during a song would have the honour of bopping their heads on Girlfriend's iconic speakers.
But these nights weren't as funky for you anymore with your bindings. You were hardly able to keep your breath while singing, and the somewhat dramatic poses rappers often do while singing was painful. Your chest hurts, and then your back, and then those shoulders feel they need a break too. But you did have a sort of strategy: rap against all three during the first three songs and sit on the speakers the rest of the time unless they decided to do a co-op match that week.
After a song with Boyfriend and Girlfriend, it was Pico's turn. He walked up to his spot, twirling his Uzi for the sake of show. "I won't go that hard on you, dear, since I haven't quite warmed my cords up yet." That was a bit odd for Pico to say. He never really cared much for warm ups like more dedicated singers. But hey, can't argue with an easier match to end it off.
~~~~~
You and Pico sat down on the speakers afterwards, waiting for Girlfriend and Boyfriend to give the okay to start the music. "Looked out of breath the whole time," Pico said, "you sure that binder is doing you any good?" "Oh, don't worry! I looked into binding a ton," you lied to him. "And I'll be taking it off after this anyways," you say, sprinkling in another lie to ward off suspision. It seems as though Pico has been on to you a bit, but you always manage to talk away his concerns. But who knows how long it'll stay that way for.
~~~~~
While you were getting your bindings ready in the morning, the others were already at the table eating cereal, being too lazy to actually make anything for today. "Hey guys," Girlfriend says. "Ske-bap?" "Hm?"
"I hope this isn't rude or anything, but do you think (Y/N) actually knows what he's doing when he's binding?"
"I mean," Pico starts, while Boyfriend remains silent, "he does seem more sluggish, but he keeps saying he's fine. I'm not even sure if it's even the binder."
"I think the binder might work a bit too well," she says. "This is going to sound weird, but sometimes I kind of just squish by boobs with my hands to get them to look more flat, yet I don't find it possible to get them too flat without breaking a rib. So how would (Y/N) manage it?"
"Well, I'll force (Y/N) to see a doctor then. But being how persistent he is in keeping that thing on, I wouldn't want to stress him too much."
While Pico and Girlfriend reached an agreement on what to do, Boyfriend pulled out his phone. Boyfriend may be cis, but his gut told him he needed to do some research on this binding thing you were doing.
~~~~~
"You scheduled an appointment without me knowing? How did you even manage that?" You found out that Pico had set up an appointment with a doctor for a couple days away. He says it's because of how weak you seemed to be, which you found both considerate and annoying. "Everyone in the city knows not to mess with the weird ginger kid with a gun, and that receptionist was no exception." "Couldn't I have at least scheduled it myself, though?" "Too late."
"Guys, aren't we going to watch Jazz Club?" Girlfriend awkwardly interrupted. The conversation was getting tense, so you two let it go. "Oh, and does anyone know where Boyfriend went--"
"BEEP!"
Boyfriend ran in the room in a panic, and it looked as though he was about to cry too. "What the hell is up with you?" Pico asked. Boyfriend threw his unlocked phone over to Pico and ran up to you, desperately tugging on your shirt. "TAKE IT OFF!" he finally managed to say after a series of distressed gibberish. "Hey, stop!" you yell as you try to keep him from pulling your shirt off, "you know I hate it when my chest looks big!"
While Girlfriend watched the scene unfold, unknowing of what to say or do, Pico read the article Boyfriend had on his phone. Every line scaring him more. "(Y/N), I'm so sorry." "WHAT?!" Pico went over and helped Boyfriend nearly rip the shirt off you. "Stay still, we're trying to help!" Pico yelled ready to lift the binder up. "I don't need help! I need my shirt back on!"
"Bullshit!" The two were trying to get your binder off now, when they saw something underneath.
"What's that he has under there?"
"Boop?"
"Is that tape?" Pico asked, though he knew damn well that it was.
Crap, you weren't getting out of this. "Yeah?" you answered nervously. Maybe they wouldn't be too worried?
"No wonder you've been so odd recently!" Pico yelled, almost shoving Boyfriends phone in your face. "All of this crap you felt was because you were just too damn desperate!" Pico was scaring you, making you tear up. "But this means so much to me!" "And so does top surgery, and look!" Pico pointed to a sentence in the article. "No safe binding means to top surgery!" "Okay! I'll take it all off!" You shouted, running to your room in tears.
"I uh..." Pico handed Boyfriend his phone back, feeling some regret for how that all went. "I didn't scare him too much, did I?" There was no answer from the two, just silence. After a minute, Girlfriend spoke out. "Let me talk to him for a bit."
~~~~~
You were back in that oversized dysphoria hoodie and in tears when a knock came to your door. "(Y/N), can I come in?" It was Girlfriend, which was a bi of a relief. Pico had scared you, and you was worried it may have been him. "Yes," you said in your now raspy voice. She came in and slowly sat next to you on your bed, patting your back. "Sweety, I know Pico was harsh, but he's right." "But I still liked--" "I know you do, but you know you'll regret it forever if you miss out on the top surgery you want. And knowing Pico, he could even rob a bank to make things go faster for you."
"But I would still have to deal with the size of my chest until then," you stated. "Listen, the only one so worried about your chest is you. We don't see you as any less of a man even without a flat chest, and the people who would judge you are probably some dead-beat transphobes anyways."
Her words didn't exactly make you feel better about your appearance, but you couldn't argue with her; she was right. Your door then opened again, this time by Boyfriend. As soon as he felt it was okay, he pounced on you and hugged you tightly. Your chest was still sore, so you had to gently push him away. Pico poked his head in. "May I?" "It's okay, Pico."
"I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier. Just don't do that again." He went up and slowly held one of your hands, which you didn't object to. "Can I still just wear the regular binder though?" you asked. Pico nodded, "sure, but not until we see a doctor, okay?"
"Sure..."
"That's nice to hear." He moved in to give you a peck on the cheek, which led to the others dong the same.
"We love you, (Y/N)."
