For Valentine's Day, I'm drawing a cheesy valentine's meme of each of my otps and posting them throughout this month, counting down to my favorite ships leading up to the fourteenth. Decided to start off on the right foot with a series of Valentines with icons based off my favorite Disney Channel pairings! Feel free to share these with anyone you'd like, but do not repost!

The Essence of the Sun

To kick off my Rewind the Tape posts, of course I'm starting with my favorite look. This dazzling russet and bronze striped suit, topped with this tawny patterned tie and tie pin caught my attention immediately. It's been almost a year and a half, and this suit continues to clog my mind. The fit of it is superb (don't get me started on how the vest fits his waist like a glove) and the color makes everything around him seem like it's put perfectly in place to make Louis look like the star of the show. Even the glass of brown liquor looks staged to compliment this man's outfit. By far, one of my favorites and it's so funny how this was only the beginning.

Beast of Gévaudan
In the mid 18th century women and children were found torn apart, dismembered, or decapitated in the quiet French province of Gévaudan. These were the first of nearly a hundred attacks perpetrated by a mysterious animal dubbed as the Beast of Gévaudan.
From 1764 to 1767, in the historical region of Gévaudan, located in southern France, and in adjacent areas, about one hundred children, youths, and women were killed by a so-called “Beast”. Numerous other humans survived the attacks, many of them seriously injured. The series of attacks has been confirmed by a great variety of historical documents and is not called into question by scientists.
Historians claim that wolves, or a hybrid of a wolf and a domestic dog, had attacked the victims; the “hybrid-assumption” is based on the description of a canid, shot in June 1767, that was said to have strange morphological characteristics. However, a critical evaluation of historical texts, including the publications of the French abbots François Fabre and Pierre Pourcher, revealed that neither this animal, nor any other wolf killed in Gévaudan, had anything to do with the attacks of the Beast.
Descriptions of the time vary, and reports may have been greatly exaggerated due to public hysteria, but the Beast was generally described as a wolf-like canine with a tall, lean frame capable of taking great strides. It had an elongated head similar to that of a greyhound, with a flattened snout, pointed ears, and a wide mouth sitting atop a broad chest. The Beast’s tail was also said to have been notably longer than a wolf’s, with a tuft at the end. The Beast’s fur was described as tawny or russet in colour but its back was streaked with black and a white heart-shaped pattern was noted on its underbelly.
About 95 percent of the carnivore attacks on humans in Gévaudan during the years 1764 to 1767 can be attributed to that single animal that was referred to as la bête: The Beast. There is no doubt that the remaining attacks were executed by rabid and non-rabid wolves. Wolves were a common species at that time and therefore easily recognized by the rural population.
The Beast of Gévaudan committed its first recorded attack in the early summer of 1764. A young woman named Marie Jeanne Valet, who was tending cattle in the Mercoire forest near the town of Langogne in the eastern part of Gévaudan, saw the Beast come at her. However, the bulls in the herd charged the Beast, keeping it at bay. They then drove it off after it attacked a second time. Shortly afterwards the first official victim of the Beast was recorded: 14-year-old Janne Boulet was killed near the village of Les Hubacs near Langogne.
Throughout the remainder of 1764, more attacks were reported across the region. Very soon terror gripped the populace because the Beast was repeatedly preying on lone men, women, and children as they tended livestock in the forests around Gévaudan. Reports note that the Beast seemed only to target the victim’s head or neck regions.
On January 12, 1765, Jacques Portefaix and seven friends were attacked by the Beast. After several attacks, they drove it away by staying grouped together. The encounter eventually came to the attention of King Louis XV, who awarded 300 livres to Portefaix and another 350 livres to be shared among his companions. The livre was the currency of Kingdom of France and its predecessor state of West Francia from 781 to 1794. The king also directed that Portefaix be educated at the state’s expense. He then decreed that the French state would help find and kill the Beast.
The killing of the creature that eventually marked the end of the attacks is credited to a local hunter named Jean Chastel, who shot it at the slopes of Mont Mouchet, now called la Sogne d’Auvers, during a hunt organized by a local nobleman, the Marquis d’Apchier, on June 19, 1767.

The Wrath of Achilles
By Louis Édouard Fournier
And anguish descended upon the son of Peleus and the heart in his rugged breast debated two ways, whether he should draw the sharp sword by his side​ and scatter the men and slay and despoil the son of Atreus, or check his anger and restrain his spirit. While he churned these things through his heart and mind, as he was drawing from its sheath his great sword, Athena came to him down from heaven; for Hera the goddess with white arms dispatched her, who in her heart loved and cared for both men alike. She came up behind and grabbed the son of Peleus’ tawny hair, appearing to him alone, and none of the others saw her. Thunderstruck, Achilles turned behind him and at once recognized Pallas Athena; for her eyes gleamed terribly.
The Iliad, Book 1, Lines 188-200

                              What 'Caucasian' means
Why do people in the US and UK (unlike in most of Europe) refer to European people as Caucasian?
The term "Caucasian" was introduced by the German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, who was busy measuring skulls in Georgia in the 19th century, and for no good reason decided that the Caucasus was the birthplace of mankind. He made division of Aryan, Semitic (Jews) and Hamitic (north Africans), just as it was written in Genesis.
We Europeans did not, of course, wish to be seen as having racial connections with Jews or Africans, and German Nazi extermination policies gave the term "Aryan" a bad name.
Blumenbach's theories have long been discounted in modern anthropology, yet his term lives on. This classification of white non-Jewish European was adopted by US immigration control, who needed to keep a check on the races coming in that were not black, brown or Jewish. "Caucasian" is just an illogical yet convenient category, and so it lives on, whenever we have to fill in an identity form: even if it is just an online dating site.
David Bye, Göd, Hungary
Whites tan to get brown, but naturally brown people stay out of the sun if they can in order to get whiter. Now "white" is a term of abuse, and "Caucasian" is a more innocuous way to describe us.
The paradigm of the “typically Jewish” nose originates in the craniological studies of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752–1840). Blumenbach claimed to have evidence that Jews had an especially prominent nasal bone. Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom), a Nazi schoolbook published by the Stürmer Verlag in 1938, provides an example of how such anti-Semitic clichés about body shapes were spread. It was printed in a first edition of 60,000 copies.
Tumblr media
Blumenbach assumed that all morphological differences between the varieties were induced by the climate and the way of living and he emphasized that the differences in morphology were so small, gradual and transiently connected that it was not possible to separate these varieties clearly. 
Although Blumenbach did not propose any hierarchy among the five varieties, he placed the Caucasian form in the center of his description as being the most "primitive" or "primeval" one from which the other forms "degenerated".
 In the 18th century, however, these terms did not have the negative connotations they possess today. 
At the time, "primitive" or "primeval" described the ancestral form, while "degeneration" was understood to be the process of change leading to a variety adapted to a new environment by being exposed to a different climate and diet.
 Hence, he argued that physical characteristics like skin color, cranial profile, etc., depended on geography, diet, and mannerism. Further anatomical study led him to the conclusion that 'individual Africans differ as much, or even more, from other Africans as from Europeans'.
Like other monogenists such as Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, Blumenbach held to the "degenerative hypothesis" of racial origins. 
Blumenbach claimed that Adam and Eve were Caucasian inhabitants of Asia, and that other races came about by degeneration from environmental factors such as the sun and poor diet.
Thus, he claimed, Negroid pigmentation arose because of the result of the heat of the tropical sun, while the cold wind caused the tawny colour of the Eskimos, and the Chinese were fair-skinned compared to the other Asian stocks because they kept mostly in towns protected from environmental factors. 
He believed that the degeneration could be reversed in a proper environmental control and that all contemporary forms of man could revert to the original Caucasian race.
Tumblr media
Blumenbach was regarded as a leading light of German science by his contemporaries. Kant and Friedrich Schelling both called him "one of the most profound biological theorists of the modern era.
 In the words of science historian Peter Watson, "roughly half the German biologists during the early nineteenth century studied under him or were inspired by him:

I have had this in my head nonstop so I think I just need to get it out there so I can stop being haunted by it :
it is present day and Armand and Louis have decided to treat themselves to a night out at a gay cowboy bar in Colorado. this place has everything : kitschy western paintings, red velvet curtains and wall hangings slightly past their prime, strings of twinkly lights, soft golden lighting, a vintage jukebox. Louis looks across the room to the bar from their corner table. There is a huge crowd of beautiful young men chatting happily, dancing, drinking, so it's hard to pick out any one person. But there is a blonde at the bar who has caught Louis' eye. His back is turned, but he has slight but strong shoulders and an exquisite pale neck. He is wearing a tawny brown Stetson and a cream-colored embroidered Western shirt with a design of hummingbirds across the shoulders; it's quite beautiful; the birds are feeding from pink horsemint flowers which extend down the back of the shirt. There are more flowers along the sleeves. Time slows as the man turns around. Our view of him is occasionally interrupted by passing bar patrons, but soon we get a good look. It's Lestat de Lioncourt. Roses are Falling by Orville Peck starts to play. Cut to black. credits

Hushed in the smoky haze of summer sunset, When I came home again from far-off places, How many times I saw my western city Dream by her river.
Then for an hour the water wore a mantle Of tawny gold and mauve and misted turquoise Under the tall and darkened arches bearing Gray, high-flung bridges.
Against the sunset, water-towers and steeples Flickered with fire up the slope to westward, And old warehouses poured their purple shadows Across the levee.
High over them the black train swept with thunder, Cleaving the city, leaving far beneath it Wharf-boats moored beside the old side-wheelers Resting in twilight.
Sunset: St. Louis by Sara Teasdale
