#a dog historian

[canisalbus]

You're like a dog expert on my eyes (lol) so i wanted to ask if you knew about the usage of body (fur?) paint in dogs in any culture? Im always investigation but i can't seem to find much about it

Oh man, I'm not an expert! I've read a little bit about some stuff but it doesn't really make me qualified to educate people. I'm flattered though!

The first instance that springs to my mind is using henna to dye the paws of Salukis and Sloughis. It seems to be a tradition in a few North African and West Asian/Near Eastern cultures, where sighthounds like these are held in extremely high regard. I've read it's used as a decoration, as a symbol of the dog's beauty and strength, and I think I remember it might have some sort of protective function as well? But I don't have any sources to give you and my memory is shoddy, take all of that with a grain of salt.

See the red paws?

Very pretty. It needs to be reapplied every now and then, it's like dyeing hair.

This one has a hennaed forehead.

There's also the Nepalese festival called Kukur Tihar that is dedicated to worshipping dogs and celebrating their relationship with humans. Pet and stray dogs are bathed, decorated with flower garlands and their foreheads are smeared with red plant based paste. I don't know if that counts, to my understanding this stuff washess off with water but I could be wrong.

I've seen a couple of photos of Indian and Pakistani mastiffs painted with these black spots, but I've never found out what's their purpose. This one is a Bully Kutta.

Dyeing/painting dogs isn't very widespread but it's also not completely unheard of. I wish I had more examples to give you, but I hope this was even a little bit helpful!

Rimbaud: I'm no historian but really, we're just like brothers, no homo 👌

RIMBAUD EXPLAIN WHAT HE IS DOING. CARESSING YOUR NECK? TOUCHING YOU NECK? SMTH ABOUT YOUR NECK? PATTING YOU ON THE SHOULDER WITH A BROTHERLY LOVE? HMMMMMMMMM 🤨

Omfg it's giving "Verlaine left because he found out Rimbaud didn't feel the same way about him" 🤣🤣🤣

i’m genuinely enjoying A Good Day to Be a Dog so far, i think it’s very cute but like…. imho cha eunwoo’s best roles have been…. the giggly lovesick prince in Rookie Historian…. the cunty little priest in Island….

and it’s very tragic to me that he keeps playing these stoic tsundere ass men when I Know. he was destined for more.

#like i’ve enjoyed him in everything ive seen him in but i just think #he needs to babygirlified more. he needs to giggle. let the man giggle #cha eunwoo #kdrama #a good day to be a dog #true beauty #my id is gangnam beauty #tvn island #rookie historian goo hae ryung #🌐

Raymond of Tripoli's nose, according to the historians and novelists who are weirdly obsessed with it:

"assez grand nez"

"mit einer riesigen Nase im Gesicht"

"a meddlesome thing"

"an excellent windbreak"

"good for stirring soup"

"his own bony garden wall"

Raymond:

#no i will not elaborate #but wtf #such disrespect #the novelists are the chief offenders but the historians are hardly any better #they all need to mention it and make it more meddlesome than it already was #yes i am shitposting about the boy again #raymond iii of tripoli #tiberias #kingdom of heaven shitposting #the dog looks weirdly like him though #what is this life

sometimes i think i'm a good songwriter and then i listen to a perfect lucy dacus song and im like why do i even bother. why does anyone bother

#this is about thumbs btw #and triple dog dare and night shift and yours & mine and going going gone and hot & heavy and direct address and historian and cartwheel and #they speak #lucy dacus

i hate AI generated imagessss i care too much about the physical tangible beauty of objects that have existed or do exist. to take a photo of a moment in time. or art-wise, a piece of art that took intentionality and thought to make. looking at an image and not being able to know if it is real or not is so scary to me

#we were talking about th samsung phone that might use AI generation to ''clean up'' blurry moon photos by adding details that aren't there #and i hate itttttt i hate that so much. what if none of your moon pictures were REALLY OF THE MOON???? #how sucks would that be #even for historians or astronomers to look back on #i know new technology is always scary to someone but i find this so vile. #lonely dog speaks

Love watching historians try to explain away the gay in Ancient Greece

#If it wasn't gay then why did they make it illegal to be gay #'caused some confusion among modern historians' #nah dog that's just you I think
