I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.

Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.

Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.

#I tend to take the easy way out with the various Italian dialects/languages and temper their effect on how the dog world works #even though to my understanding in reality they differ drastically from each other even today and they aren't always mutually intelligible #especially when you compare northern and southern ones #I know at least Sicilian is so different from modern day Italian it's considered a separate language entirely #it isn't the only one but I'm not a linguist and not even Italian so I'm not really qualified to be explaining any of this to you #main point is that my dogs are well traveled educated and adaptable so I'd like to believe that they manage #otherwise making this whole scenario work would become very complicated #language barriers aplenty #Machete is a fast learner with a natural knack for languages so he absorbs/decodes new ones easily #and I can see him acting as an interpreter if necessary #which is a valuable trait for someone working as the secretary of state I'd imagine #a lot of people he ends up dealing with speak at least passable Latin so at a pinch they might perhaps try switching to that? #Vasco might have a Tuscan flavor but Machete is more of a blank slate (at least in public and at work) #answered #fallenoftheromaempire #feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong I'm not an expert and this stuff is complicated for an outsider

The words cherries, peas, skates, and assets used to be singular forms. However, they were reanalysed as plurals because they sounded like plurals. New singulars were created by removing the -s. This linguistic phenomenon is called back-formation. Here's how it went.

Diagramming Modernity: Books and Graphic Design in Latin America, 1920–1940 This massive publication offers the first comprehensive panorama of the Latin American illustrated book between the 1920s and 1940s, a period characterized by the region's rapid modernization. The books reproduced here encapsulate this transformative era, expressing and embodying emergent national and continental narratives in Latin American countries.

Diagramming Modernity reproduces more than 1,000 illustrated first editions, analyzing the cornucopia of cultural narratives they contain. In addition to showcasing relatively unknown work by many consecrated artists, the publication also boasts an extensive repertoire of avant-garde artists largely forgotten until today.

Chapters are devoted to countries and to specific themes such as Word-Image, Verbal Visualities, Pre-Columbianisms and Ancestralisms, and Social and Political Graphics.

Writers and thinkers Rodrigo Gutiérrez Viñuales, Riccardo Boglione, Juan Manuel Bonet, Mariana Garone Gravier and Dafne Cruz Porchini conscientiously investigate these themes and more.

#gael garcía bernal #el ardor #gael garcia bernal #ggb filmography gifs #this film is trying to do something interesting #and i don't think it really works #but that's better than not trying in the first place #it's a modern western but set in latin america #and brings in elements of environmentalism and some mystical stuff #but where it aims for ambiguity it tends to land on inconsistency instead #e.g. is gael's character a force of nature or Just Some Guy? #also there's a jaguar that may or may not be magical in some way #gael's character is not a fan of shirts in this film #seriously he borrows two separate shirts from alice braga's family #and throws them both away #there's a weird sex scene #(to clarify: the scene is weird not the sex) #which sort of feels like the film was contractually obliged to have one but no one's heart was really in it #the burning

I am so sorry to trouble you with obvious BS, but a friend found these pendants while metal detecting and was hoping someone would be able to translate the one on the left. Would you know where I could go? The cartouche beginning with a big bust of (Maat? Isis??) is throwing me…

Xxx

Oh that's not total bullshit, the one on the right is supposed to be the Rosetta Stone and the one on the left is a rather wonky version of the cartouche of Cleopatra VII Philopator (aka the Cleopatra). And by wonky I mean "they left off the initial K in favour of fitting in her bust so now it just reads Leopatra". (And made some other weird positional choices but like. Leopatra. That's objectively hilarious.)

Here's the same cartouche rendered horizontally, from the temple of Edfu:

Read from right to left in this case; the sign directly above the lion is the one they left off!

#also no worries re: bothering me #this stuff is easy for me but if you don't know where to start looking it can be like ??? lmao #though a good rule of thumb is when it's a cartouche it's either cleopatra tutankhamun or nefertiti #or a phonetic translation of a modern person's name #in the former case the website pharaoh.se is EXTREMELY useful #in the latter one just look up one of those graphics that list egyptian signs side by side with the latin alphabet #actually you can do thay for cleopatra's cartouche anyway because her name is originally Greek and Egyptians wrote non-Egyptian words #and names phonetically #(when it's a modern cartouche necklace I mean to say - obv all kings had cartouches or serekhs but if you get a mkdern necklace thing it's #9 times out of 10 one of the ones I mentioned or a modern person's name)
