In 1620, at the age of 22 Gian Lorenzo Bernini was asked to make a mattress for the Hermaphrodite. He was paid sixty scudi for making the buttoned mattress upon which the Hermaphrodite reclines, so strikingly realistic that visitors are inclined to give it a testing prod.Around the world there are about twenty copies of Hermafrodite but only one is Bernini’s mattress and it’s at the Louvre.White marble sculpture, The Sleeping Hermaphrodite (Borghese), attributed to Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Naples 1598 – Rome 1680), circa 1700. According to the Roman poet, Ovid's Metamorphoses (4:285 - 288), Hermaphroditus was the son of Hermes and Aphrodite who refused the advances of one of Diana's nymphs, Salmacis. But the gods then answered her prayer that their bodies could be joined into one. The marble Hermaphrodite, lying on side with arms above the head, was unearthed near the Baths of Diocletian in Rome in about 1608. It was believed to be a Roman copy of a bronze mid-second century BC original by Polycles. It was presented to Cardinal Scipione Borghese who commissioned Bernini to restore it and make for it the marble mattress. It became one of the most admired statues in the Borghese Collection and was commonly reproduced in bronze and on a reduced scale in marble. In 1807 it was purchased with the bulk of the Borghese Collection by Napoleon and is now in the Louvre.

okay so do you wanna know something cool right

In Yestaria*, you'll see people with no eyes, or depth perception problems wearing these lenses:

These are called Crystal Sensor Replacement Lenses, or CSR Lenses for short. Depending on the person they are tailored to, they have different uses - but the underlying purpose of CSR Lenses is to provide another layer of sight dimension that the user may not have.

They can be used in the form of glasses (see Fig. 1) or contact lenses (see Fig. 2).

The glasses in Figure 1 are to give sight to those who do not have it; if their sensor pores are clogged, they put the glasses on, and it projects the image into their brain using spikes that pierce the head, which are on the inside of the glasses arms.

The contact lens in Figure 2 is to give one-eyed users a perception of depth. Inside of the lens is a special material that warps the world to create some sort of depth. The technology is imperfect, but it works well enough to be used by a few internethumans*.

CSR lenses are concave surfaces of glass and a special crystalline substance found in the Nexus Fields*. They date back to the 1700s, or circa 250 BC*, where paperclips were created from the poles*, and chose a googly-eye-like CSR lens for their eyes. The eyes of the pioneer Thomas, the private engineer of Torus the Warmonger*, were studied by doorpeople in the Invasion of the War*. They then sent intelligence back to Yestaria.

Many sets go upwards of 4,500 Yestarian Dollars (YD)*, and are made mostly by the conglomerate run by the Google HELA. The budget sets, going for at least 2,000 YD, often experience troubles with interpreting complex objects. As a result, many blind internethumans have experienced an injury from object misinteraction.

*glossary post bc I know it might be confusing lol

[firefirevampire]

who are ur ocs…. i didnt realize u had any omg

AH anon I'm so sorry I took so long to answer this but here's a few from my fiction stories:

First we have my baby, love of my life, Angelo. Angelo is a vampire from 1800s Italy (haven't decided on a specific year for him yet) with a terminal case of I love my wife disease. He's also a pianist and (unfortunate) catholic.

His wife is Arabella, a vampire from early 1900s America. She is also a witch kind of - in this universe witches/magic practitioners are born while vampires make a literal deal with the devil. She has a lot of trauma and anxiety from her life but she deeply cares for people and is really invested in her found family.

Her found family consists of Ignis, Lucien, and Gabriel (among other side characters).

Ignis is a fire demon and her best friend. In this universe some demons also lived before becoming demons, and he lived circa early 400s BC. Both Ignis and Arabella have a shit ton of trauma so they bonded over that. Despite being a fire demon, he's very gentle and caring, but has an air of mystery and depression about him.

Gabriel is the newest vampire at only 26 human years old, changed at 22. He's gay and mixed (white/asian) and he's stupidly down bad for Lucien. He's alternative and has a lot of anger issues - growing up as an alternative queen POC in the south led to a lot of bullying and ostracizing. He is special because he is the only vampire that didn't make the deal with Lucifer, he was changed by Lucien after a suicide attempt.

Lucien is a vampire from mid 1700s France. He's soft and sweet and so oblivious to the fact that he is equally down bad for Gabriel. Lucien is an artist and honestly very lonely before he meets Gabriel buteventually changes him because he realizes he doesn't want to live in a world without him but then it still takes a few years and near death experiences for him to figure out that they aren't just besties and he wants to fuck that mam. Has a lot of relationship anxiety because his wife while he was alive cheated on him and died lmao

Anyway I can answer more questions if you like, I made most of these characters when I was 15 so they're kind of cringe but I love them <3

ancient beads circa 1000 BC -1700

[tanoraqui]

I don't remember if it's in the Silmarillion or in another book, but Tolkien wrote that we don't hear about Gandalf before the end of the third age because he's just hanging around anonymously, giving advice and being a good dude. Where do you think he was? My favourite idea is he was chilling in Gondolin, because Idril and Tuor make some really good decisions

Headcanon and let headcanon but I’m concerned that you’re working off some misapprehensions: the Istari, aka the wizards, pretty definitely arrived in Middle Earth in 1000ish Third Age, per The Silmarillion. They just didn’t make a big deal about it until the War of the Ring, wherein Saruman went rogue and Gandalf stepped the fuck up. They certainly weren’t around 6000 years earlier in First Age Gondolin, when the Valar were actively ignoring the exiled Noldor.

However! There’s indications somewhere in the Histories of Middle Earth, idk where, that while Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast arrived in 1000 TA, the famously elusive Blue Wizards actually came much earlier, circa 1600 Second Age—ie, circa the Forging of the One Ring and reveal of “Annatar’s” treachery, and circa Glorfindel’s return. So I like to think the sequence of events went:

Sauron forges the One, revealing himself in his attempt to seize control of the Nine, the Seven, and the Three he only just realized existed when he did this

Celebrimbor & the smiths of Eregion are immediately aware

(The Valar, across the sea: shit, didn’t realize he was going to do that. Okay, this time, we’re going to intervene immediately…and discreetly. No more continent-sinking. We got this. We’re just gonna send 2 guys.)

Celebrimbor sends frantic letters to every other kingdom, elven, man, and dwarf, along the lines of, “HEADS UP: I FUCKED UP. SAURON LEVELS OF FUCKED UP. Remember those very fine magical rings we were starting to send around as symbols of friendship? Do not touch them.”

The Blue Wizards, Alatar and Pallandro, arrive in Lindon to introduce themselves to the local High King of Elves before heading off southeast to save the Men there from Sauron’s sway. “Greetings, we are emissaries of the Valar, come to Middle Earth to offer aid and advice!”

Having Heard This Before, Gil-galad draws a sword on them and orders them out—out of his court, his city, and all the lands he defends.

(For extra drama and angst, say they arrived more like 1700 SA, in the immediate wake of the Numenorean armada lifting Sauron’s siege on Lindon and forcing him back east and south—in the immediate wake of the sack of Eregion, Celebrimbor’s torture and death, the corpse banner incident. I like this but I haven’t settled on it bc I also like the Valar having actually learned a little about proactive hand-lending, you know?)

Elrond, always the diplomat, puts a hand one Gil-galad’s arm and says, “My king, is it wise to cast them out to wander freely? I suggest we lock them in our dungeons under careful guard while we find a way to prove their claim.” He stares at the would-be wizards with a stare that reminds them that (almost) every every single person in his lineage going back 5 generations has been ready and able to personally fight a god. “I’m sure that if they speak truly, they will not prove themselves false by resisting.”

Blue Wizards: …Alright, yeah, we see how we went wrong here. Sorry to be very triggering right off the bat. We’ll wait.

(The Valar across the sea: Alright yeah we also see how that went wrong. Okay, if there’s anything we’ve learned about elves in general and Noldor specifically in the last couple thousand years, it’s that they’re much more likely to listen to each other than to...really any of us. So we need a Noldo who is personally familiar to many left in Middle Earth, known for honesty and incorruptibility, willing to go back and to earnestly vouch for us, and preferably who isn’t too rebellious in general…)

Glorfindel, rowing up to Lindon’s main harbor a week or so later: Hi everyone, I’m back!!! I get to stay and help! Also you should let those Maiar out of the dungeon, yeah, I know, it’s weird but I swear they’re legit.

Epilogue, circa 1000 TA: The Valar just send one of Círdan’s old friends, returned from Mandos, to accompany the 3 new wizards. We never hear about her because she stays in the Grey Havens.

7 Ruined Palaces Around the World, Reconstructed!

Sans Souci, Haiti,

Called the ‘Versailles of the Caribbean’, the palace’s majestic steps and terraces are an impressive monument to Haitian independence.

Qal’eh Dokhtar, Iran,

Qal’eh Dokhar was built by Ardašīr I as a “barrier fortress” during his 3rd century founding of the Sasanian Empire in Iran. The fortress’s third floor housed his royal residence but was eventually supplanted by a greater palace he built nearby. Qal’eh Dokhtar boasts perhaps the earliest example of an Iranian chartaq—a square of four arches supporting a dome—which became an important feature of traditional Iranian architecture.

Knossos Palace, Greece,

The oldest palace on this list by two millennia, Knossos, was constructed circa 1700 BC. In addition to its political function, it also was designed as an economic and religious centre for the mysterious Minoan civilization. Knossos was destroyed circa 1375 BC—surviving invasion, fire, and earthquake nearly a century longer than similar Minoan complexes.

Ruzhany Palace, Belarus,

The Sapieha family—power-brokers of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth—built Ruzhany Palace in the late 1700s over the site of their earlier castle. In its heyday, Ruzhany’s famed theatre employed 100 performers. The palace also possessed a famous library and picture collection.

Dungur Palace / “Palace of the Queen of Sheba,” Ethiopia,

Dungur Palace is in the Ethiopian village of Aksum—once the bustling capital of an African empire that stretched from southern Egypt to Yemen. The 6th-century mansion contains approximately 50 rooms, including a bathing area, kitchen, and (possible) throne room.

Clarendon Palace, UK,

Despite the composition of a very significant English legal document within its halls, this 12th-century palace is nearly forgotten. The ‘Constitutions of Clarendon’ were Henry II’s attempt to gain legal authority over church clerks, but he instead exacerbated a feud with his friend Thomas à Becket. This feud eventually led to Archbishop Beckett’s martyrdom. Henry III expanded the palace, commissioning a carved fireplace and stained glass chapel. By the 1400s, Clarendon was a sprawling royal complex. It remained a favourite retreat of monarchs until the Tudor era, when the high cost of upkeep resulted in its rapid decline. Today, only a single wall remains above ground.

Husuni Kubwa, Tanzania,

The island of Kilwa Kisiwani was one of the most important sultanates in the “Swahili Coast’ trade network, linking East Africa to the Arabic world. For over 300 years, gold and ivory passed out of its ports, while Chinese silk and porcelain flowed in. The 14th-century palace at Husuni Kubwa is just one of many coral stone ruins that dot the island.

Husuni Kubwa was built by Sultan al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman. It had over 100 rooms, an octagonal swimming pool, and a staging area for loading goods onto ships. Husuni Kubwa, along with other elite Kilwa dwellings, was also equipped with indoor plumbing.

Random thought: My only arguments against time travel existing are the following

1. Paradox law, whereby going to the past to do or undo something, you erase the thing you were going to do, thus erasing why you would need to go back in time

2. In the event that Time Travel follows multi universe theory and either cuts off the traveler from their previous time or doesn't actually change anything except make a separate timeline from the one they currently come from, there's still 2 big reasons it isn't real.

1. Stephen Hawking threw a time traveler party and nobody showed up, and there is absolute record of the exact time and date it would have happened. That's not only rude but unreasonable to think anyone from our fucked up future would turn down the opportunity for free food, let alone a party, let alone a party with Professor Stephen Fuckin Hawking

2. Capitalism. Do you really think that oil companies would let thousands of years of untapped oil go to waste?

I mean think about it, they already mistreat natives who already own the land in THIS timeline. You cannot convince me that they wouldn't try to just go a bit further back in time before laws and regulations would stop them to drain the planet of oil.

"Oh but wouldn't that cause a temporal anomaly? Wouldn't that just fuck up our planet quicker?"

THATS MY POINT ENTIRELY THOUGH! Oil companies don't give a shit! We have scientists saying if we don't change things NOW, the world is fucked! And they don't care! They're doing worse! They're spilling billions of gallons of oil into our oceans! They're not doing a thing to counteract the billions of tons of carbon they put into the air! They clearly show no care for anything except the pockets of their investors and CEOs!

So of course if time travel was real, either reality would crumble due to their negligence, or we'd suddenly have a fuck ton more carbon emissions and oil leaks stemming from an Earth circa BC or Dark Ages era that has an atmosphere and environmental disasters worse than ours

Also, let's be real, we'd have seen a YouTuber make a video of themselves scaring some poor 1700s child with Rickrolls that would spread around like wildfire, no matter how hard any secret time patrollers or whatever could try

"...but both impulse and tango picking up knitting/crocheting (whichever is more historically accurate), despite it being unexpected of a boy to pick up, just to make handmade things for zed!!"

So let's talk knitting and crochet!! @thezitteam has a royalty au and I have stuff to say about the history of knitting and crochet after some brief research as well as with some prior knowledge, and I think it'll just be easier for me to be able to save drafts just in case since I may lose it if I forget and close the app while typing

-----

So! Knitting and crochet actually date back father than you may expect, with seemingly handmade garments resembling current works of knit or crocheted pieces! Actual evidence, as in a proper written form of the word crochet, goes back perhaps as far as the 18th or 19th century, and knitting even farther back to as early as, potentially, the 11th century.

And to further add on, these seem to have been viewed different than they are today, which is natural in history. While potentially a more popular activity among women, men also participated in these crafts since the need for textiles and protection against the elements was still pretty strong. So, technically, anyone could do it! In fact, in the Scottish Isles in the 17th and 18th centuries, it involved entire families at times.

But this is all to say, knitting and crochet have both been around for a while, and predecessors to both have been around even before documentation (such as nålebinding, which has a garment found to be from around 6500 BC, with another circa 4200 BC). In terms of historical accuracy, it really depends on the rough year the AU is set in or based around.

If it's based around the 1200's to 1900's, knitting has been recorded as work done by hired people in the late-ish 1100's to 1200's, a potential Shepard's activity around 1400's (however probably still commonplace among refined society), and probably a sort of house wive's activity throughout the 1700's to late 1800's, and begins dying down as you go through the late 1900's. And, during the 1800's to 1900's, crochet can be thrown into there as a possibility with wooden or bamboo hooks, and probably even earlier, but those are the times it seems a lot of extant garments were dated back to in terms of crochet.

Of course, there are also other crafts, such as sewing, which was also quite commonplace and hand stitched (asides from the use of handcranked sewing machines around the early 1900's, which can be used as an alternative to stitching by hand), and can likely be done by anyone even if it was still mostly done by women from the construction to the mending and tailoring. However, it is a possibility in about the 1800's to 1900's that men would also fashion their own clothing, though would probably still leave the mending to the women of the household, if I am remembering correctly.

But, I'd say, if Zera had sheep or a trade with another kingdom to get things like wool or yarn, or even their own sheep pen and some sort of spin wheel to make wool usable, then either one seems like a pretty good bet since they would have those resources!

Audrey’s Lineage

It’s short, but important. As a natal vampire, Audrey assigns particular significance to her matriarchal line, which is much older than her patriarchal, line (especially in this case). Vampires in this line are expected to have at least one daughter to carry on the lineage; Audrey is the only surviving female offspring, so is under heavy pressure from her grandmother and mother to find an acceptable partner and reproduce. Vampires are not particular fertile and it can take them decades to conceive, so matrilineal lines are often composed of very few members over thousands of years. For clarity, I’m going to use the term “sired” to refer only to vampires who are created via being infected by the virus via bite by another vampire, not as a synonym for “fathered” in the biological sense. Mother: Lavinia, born circa 0AD in Rome (Natal Vampire). Sired several other vampires via bite, most notably Audrey’s father, August (deceased).

Grandmother: Phersipnai, born circa 600 BC in Etruri/Modern day Italy (Natal Vampire).

Great-Grandmother: Astarte (deceased), born circa 1500 BC in Phoenicia/Modern day Lebanon. Was sired by a direct descendent of Cain.

Patriarchal line: Father: August Alden, born 1575 in London, England. Sired by Lavinia in 1622. Killed by a vampire hunter during the New England Vampire Panic of the late 1700′s-early 1800′s, along with Audrey’s sister, Hannah, in 1803. Audrey had four half-brothers via her father before he was turned, all of whom remained mortal and died well before she was born.
