Something about 15 having more elements of Gallifreyan culture (the writing on the sonic and on the freaking nails) in his image than any Doctor before.

Something about him flippantly stating he was abandoned instead of TOTALLY KIDNAPPED MY PARENTS WERE TOTALLY SOMEWHERE THERE IN THAT COMPLETELY EMPTY SPOT.

Something about knowing it's more important to save Ruby now than to learn of her past.

Something about parent with their own issues frame rather than an eternal child.

Something about Carla using the same words as the Doctor to reflect on how we are defined by our memories and people we know rather than by vague essence of might have beens.

Something about identifying with the past you had with its good and bad sides rather than the very bad sides you can't even remember.

And yes, something about Gatwa being the first first generation immigrant to play the Doctor.

Oh my goodness PLEASE elaborate on the tags of your badly explained hyperfixation!

good evening! the first half referred to the relationship between Keith Windham and Ewen Cameron from The Flight of the Heron, a jacobite historical novel, which is everything I love in a book and then some. Keith starts out merely respecting Ewen (and admiring his physique), but their relationship slowly morphs into a deep friendship/love and I fell for it at page 1, hook line sinker

the second half referred to jacobitism itself, which I have been interested in for years. jacobitism is incredibly complicated as both a subject for scholarship and a political/ideological movement, but its core tenet was to restore the Stuart dynasty to the throne of Britain (or just Scotland -- it's complicated), which had been ceded to the Hanoverian dynasty in 1714

#anyway I am very interested in jacobitism partly because of its martyrological aspects #and the part it played in scottish nation-making #martyrology & nation-making obviously being dear and familiar subjects to me as a polish history nerd #but it's fascinating also from the angle of contemporary politics you know for its own sake #I appreciate your curiosity anon I hope you have a good day #I love getting asks #ask #18th century #foth

Why do they think you won't put up a fight?

#WIP #Gale gives off strong prey animal vibes #You know how deer antlers resemble a crown and how they carry themselves with pride #but ultimately they are also prey animals with many other species benefitting from their death #there is a martyrology metaphor hidden in there I think

[readingloveswounds]

the thing is, i've met two important people in my field who i can almost guarantee will disagree with the premise of this chapter. i could be and hope i'm wrong but also i essentially lay down a gauntlet about one of them's argument so i do not think we can avoid this

#please j-r i want to quote you sO BAD saying that the later martyrology is a different book but you said that verbally and off-hand #f is retired and he's probably going to hate this too! but here we are! #love your work! i own both your editions of LT but i AM going to make this argument #sophies ramblings #i am not asking either of them to be on my committee. maybe that will make it okay #j will ABSOLUTELY tattle tho lmao

[gothprentiss]

or maybe: i think audiences are more into whump (even those who aren’t familiar with the term) than people typically note, and while this isn’t novel it is more true than it once was. this is probably bolstered by the relatively common (and quasi-martyrological in conception, i think) plots in tv shows where characters get the shit beat out of them as a demonstration of their nobility and goodness, but you can’t really put much causal weight in that: i don’t engage with whump particularly much but my vibe regarding it is that it’s equally about care and suffering, both of which provide individual catharsis to the consumer without necessarily doing much to establish said character further. maybe in fandom spaces you can parallel this with the increasing prominence of a particular kind of aftercare-attentive light kink. i don’t know.

but like, in terms of your time-of-narrative experience, there’s fundamentally little difference between something bad happening to a character in the narrative present and something bad having happened to the character in the narrative past. the bigger difference (which is, i think, the truer depth of the trauma narrative) is that the distance between past and presence either adds to or multiplies that particular suffering. while i don’t think trauma narratives or whump have much to do with the particular kind of horror that gets branded torture porn, they all seem to share a common line about suffering being a more profound form of truth and being than anything else.

#wraps around with how martyrology trades on the classical n medieval theories of torture as guaranteeing truth i think #with martyrdom narratives granting that legal/medical theory narrative form #this isn’t like some campbell shit lol i just think that like. narrative form’s ideology is very ingrained

Re: prev post, i wasn’t as irritated by the netflix adaptation as book fans (i haven’t read it so hey no real attachment, and imo it’s fine that flannigan took character names and told a different story even if it did come at the cost of “shirley jackson = stephen king”), but Hard Pass on eleanor’s death being a meaningful and fulfilling sacrifice 

#i had the same issue with bIy manor which i liked much better- get that martyrology shit out of here #books

Saint Tarcisius

3rd Century

Feast Day: August 15

Patronage: Altar Servers and First Holy Communicants

The feast day for St. Tarcisius in the Roman Martyrology is August 15, the same day as the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Tarcisius is said to have been about 12 years old when he was beaten to death by a mob rather than deliver to them the Blessed Sacrament, which he was carrying to prisoners awaiting martyrdom under Valerian. He went instead of a priest because he was less recognizable. Legend is, that in spite of killing Tarcisius, those thugs were unable to pry open his hands to get control of the Body of Christ. Only later, when his body was returned to a priest, could the Eucharist be easily taken from his dead hands.

Could you recommend a fic that is just beautiful prose? I love feeling immersed in the story as well as the beauty of language the author weaves. Also smut. Smut is a good bonus.

BG3, DA or PoE are fine, I'm not picky.

God, CAN I.

So the main issue is I'm probably going to want to recommend writers, not individual fics on the whole. Choosing a fic per writer is torture but I will try my best.

Starting off strong with @senseandaccountability AKA Lilith Morgana. You could do literally any of them (the current Astarion fic Blaze me a Sun is stunning, and the iconic one is the Blackwall/Trev fic there are names for what binds us) but I'm going to plump for so I wait for you like a lonely house which is Aeducan/Gorim and is just sublime.

NeverwinterThistle writes incredible Gortash/default Dark Urge Stuff. Ten Silver Pieces is incredibly written but very, very gory too so have a care. The prose is quite something though. The others are slightly less gory, but no less intense.

Noseforahtwo writes beautiful work. Out of the Woods is Blackwall/Trevelyan and has gorgeous smut and wonderful dialogue.

@popiellart AKA martyrologics again is somebody I could recommend everything of, and people are going to assume I will go for The Hunt (which I could) but I'm going to plump for The Dark Urge/Lae'zel fic the dark urge sleeps alone because it's beautiful, and romantic, and deserves more readers.

Again, @smoreofbabylon AKA Vashnoi has a gorgeous sensitivity across her work, but I'm very fond of More than Bodies

All of @gribbo/@jiubilant but I love this little Barcus Wroot centric piece

the one who bleeds by @des-no9 is beautiful

voyeur by @rowanisawriter is an exceptionally strong outing from a fab writer

And I'm going to sneakily rep one of my own pillars fics, Calm Seas.

#fic recs #I could have gone on forever #and I'm so sorry if I missed you #it may be that I've not read enough or I'm rushing on lunch

May 11, 2023

Earlier today, Pope Francis declared that 21 Coptic Orthodox Christians, who were beheaded by Islamic militants in Libya in 2015, would be added to the Roman Martyrology. Francis made the announcement during an audience with Pope Tawadros II, the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. The “21 Coptic New Martyrs of Libya,” as they are called, were martyred on February 15, 2015. Less than a week later, they were declared saints in the Coptic Orthodox Church by Pope Tawadros. The Copts celebrate their feast on the anniversary of their death, February 15, and it appears that this will also be their feast day on the Roman calendar.

The world was shocked in February 2015, when a 5-minute video was uploaded to the internet by ISIS militants. The video showed the 21 kidnapped men in orange jumpsuits being beheaded on a beach near the Libyan city of Sirte. 20 of these martyrs were Egyptian Copts who had gone to Libya to do construction work. The last member of the group, Matthew Ayariga, was a fellow worker from Ghana. It is said that he told the executioners, “Their God is my God. I will go with them.” There has been some question over whether he was already Christian or whether the witness of his 20 coworkers led to his conversion, but nevertheless, his Christian witness and solidarity are inspiring. It was reported that as they died, they chanted hymns and prayed aloud.

The deaths of these men as Christian martyrs is undeniable. The extraordinary photos of Blessed Miguel Pro, a Catholic priest who was executed by the Mexican government in 1927 during the Cristero War — taken just moments before the he was shot by the firing squad — are perhaps the only other photographic images recording a Christian martyrdom as it happened. And yet the recognition of the 21 martyrs as Catholic saints is unprecedented for several reasons.

The primary reason, of course, is that the Coptic Orthodox Church is not in full communion with Rome. The Copts are Oriental Orthodox (as opposed to Eastern Orthodox), because they split from the other Christian churches in the year 451 at the Council of Chalcedon due to differences over the nature of Christ. They are also referred to as “Non-Chalcedonian Orthodox Churches.” This means that they recognize the first three ecumenical councils, whereas the Eastern Orthodox recognize seven, and the Catholic Church recognizes 21 ecumenical councils.

After more than 15 centuries, our hope of reunion may seem remote. After all these years, the two Churches have independently developed their own traditions, theologies, forms of worship, and prayers. Yet some things have remained the same. Both Churches have maintained apostolic succession and the sacraments: Pope Francis is the successor of St. Peter and Pope Tawadros is the successor of St. Mark. In recent decades, the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church has become closer. For example, in 2017, Popes Francis and Tawadros made a joint statement indicating mutual acceptance of the validity of baptism in both Churches.

Pope Francis has praised the Martyrs of Libya many times, and today he recalled our shared baptism, as well as the blood of martyrs that enriches the Church. He said, “These martyrs were baptized not only in the water and Spirit, but also in blood, a blood that is the seed of unity for all of Christ’s followers.” In the past, the pope has discussed how we must realize that we, the baptized, have much more in common than what divides us. This shared recognition of sainthood between the two Churches is a significant step towards Christian unity.

This sets a new precedent. In 1964, when the Ugandan Martyrs were canonized by Pope Paul VI, St. Charles Lwanga and the other 21 Catholics among his companions were declared saints. The 23 Anglicans who were martyred alongside them were mentioned briefly in the pope’s homily, when he said, “And we do not wish to forget, the others who, belonging to the Anglican confession, met death for the name of Christ.”

Another reason why today’s announcement is unique was that Pope Francis did this by an official act. The Roman Martyrology is the official list of saints officially recognized by the Latin Church. Many Eastern Catholic Churches have their own processes for canonizing saints according to their traditions. Historically, when groups of Eastern Catholics have come into full communion with Rome, they will bring along their saints and prayers and traditions. Many of these saints aren’t officially canonized by Rome, and they are usually only venerated in their own tradition. By inscribing the names of these martyrs in the Roman Martyrology, Pope Francis has made it clear that these martyrs are to be venerated by Roman Catholics as saints.

Finally, in declaring them saints today, Pope Francis sidestepped the typical canonization process. They are saints, without having passed through the usual stages of Servant of God, Venerable, and Blessed. This “skipping” of steps is commonly referred to as “equipollent canonization.” Essentially, when a pope declares someone a saint by an official act, that person is recognized as a saint in the Church. This is not the first time Francis has moved a case along in this way. For example, when he canonized Popes John XXIII and John Paul II in 2014, he waived the requirement of a second miracle for John XXIII so that the two popes would be canonized on the same day. In 2013, he elevated the Jesuit Peter Faber, whose status had lingered at “Blessed” since 1872.

Perhaps the most interesting case is that of St. Gregory of Narek, an Armenian monk venerated as a saint in the Armenian Catholic Church and the Armenian Apostolic Church. Unexpectedly, Pope Francis named him the 36th Doctor of the Church in 2015. Living from in the mid-10th century through the early 11th, St. Gregory lived at a time when the Armenian Church was not in communion with Rome. After several failed attempts at reunion, the Armenian Catholic Church was officially recognized as an Eastern Catholic Church in 1742. Interestingly, the Armenian Catholic eparchy of Buenos Aires (established in 1989 by Pope John Paul II) is called the Eparchy of Saint Gregory of Narek. Perhaps this is how Pope Francis became familiar with the saint.

We Christians are blessed with a wide variety of saints from all sorts of backgrounds. They help make up the beautiful tapestry of the people of God — praying for us, interceding for us, and inspiring us. This is something worth celebrating.

21 Coptic New Martyrs of Libya, Pray for Us!

An essay on the life of Hetman Pylyp Orlyk (1672-1742) was written in 1947, on behalf of the Scientific Research Institute of Ukrainian Martyrology (Munich), whose active member was the Ukrainian historian and scientist Borys Dmytrovych Krupnytskyi (1894 — 1956).

Alexey Navalny compared Muslims to cockroaches and made videos expressing his desire to kill them on sight

Not exactly. I saw the video you're talking about and I don't approve it, but it wasn't against "Muslims". He used a video of Shamil Basayev. Do you know who Shamil Basayev was? Terror attacks were a huge threat in Russia in the 2000s, the trauma was very fresh, and it caused some xenophobia, unfortunately. Navalny compared Chechen terrorists to insects. Yes, Chechen terrorists happened to be Muslim. Navalny had some nationalistic leaning back then, yes. That video was also calling for firearms to be allowed, I don't approve of that either.

I have never been a fan of Navalny, or his supporter. There were things I liked about him and things I didn't like. But he suffered a lot after he got arrested. He risked a lot even before the Novichok poisoning, he was brave. He fought for a better future for Russia, many people believed in his cause. And now he's dead. So I don't feel like concentrating on his failures and his questionable words and actions. Putin added a new name to his martyrology by killing Navalny – next to Nemtsov, Politkovskaya and many others. It's a tragedy. He will be missed. And it's a sign that Russia is becoming more and more totalitarian and dangerous to anyone who is not loyal enough. Many people, me included, are more afraid after this murder than they used to be. The day after tomorrow, it will be exactly two years after the beginning of the war. And I'm afraid that something new could happen. Even those who hated Navalny have all reasons to be afraid.

i AM trying to figure out if i should include some discussion of foxe's Actes (and uh....other protestant martyrologies. they exist. i just don't care) in the conclusion bc i did something similar w my other chapter.

i DO however need to find whichever reading i did that talked about the catholic antimartyrologies bc 1. hilarious, 2. relevant, and 3. pipped to the post again my friends.

#sophies ramblings #by 3 im referring to the fact that protestants tend to dominate historiographical writing from the time period. as well as martyrological. #sometimes history IS written by the losers #(and then overtaken by the winners because oubliance WORKED)

[gothprentiss]

"#i hate how much i'm going to have to read about this" actually fuck it i don't hate it bc i'm not gonna read shit. i'm gonna keep gnawing on my own bones about this then forget about it for another 3 months. i in fact have very concrete thoughts about this: the ending of hannibal the book is so troubling because, as per harris' author's notes in various versions, he never quite got a grip on clarice starling, and wrote her because he wanted to, and often was writing hannibal as a way of observing her; so in this way the unevenness of their relationship, where lecter's obsession is more evident than starling's, is partially a result of this unevenness of perspective. it is also partially a result of setting-- in order to be with hannibal clarice would have to leave the world behind. this is a world which she has in a sense already left behind because the storyworld is clearly lecter's world-- violence and coercion scarcely tamed, but often hidden-- but will not by nature accept leaving. starling's agency is never meaningfully possessed in hannibal; in this way, by effectively making a different person of her, the end of hannibal dubiously restores her a greater agency than she would otherwise have had. these are the kinds of ideas we have fiction for! but there is something deeply troubled about it, which i think is right. scott sees the latter part of the book as vampire fiction and i think that's why i like it, because it's really of the same insane cloth as the sort of crime procedurals that are pretty much low fantasy. here there is always that tension between particular social systems and the monstrosity working below them; but rather than attempting social commentary as crime procedurals frequently do (copaganda style yk), this story postulates all the normal world as patina, and true freedom for those who are no longer patinated as total escape from it or immersion in it. there is no middle ground for starling, but all she can do is occupy that uncertain middle ground.
