The more i think about it the more i believe Dante just had a huge crush on Virgil and since he could not find enough material on the guy to fawn over he just created a fanfic where he's y/n so he can live his homoerotic dreams (and now so do we all, thanks D)

Dante is just like 13yo girls writing "Harry Styles x y/n" fics on Wattpad and no one can tell me otherwise

😃The amount of times Dante uses a unique and beautiful metaphor to describe witnessing the un-describable beautiful essence of God is staggering. He does it like 3 times every canto and every time his eloquence is so striking.

📚My flatmate said, “he turned a ring into a penis” and I knew I needed to find this book. Amores by Ovid is fascinating yet hilarious, particularly Elegy XV which is a love letter to a mistress…
“To touch her hand thou wilt the pleasure have; I now must envy what myself I gave. O! would a Proteus or a Circe change Me to thy form, that I like thee might range ! Then would I wish thee with her breasts to play, And her left hand beneath her robes to stray. Tho' straight she thought me, I will then appear”

I think that their story is overshadowed by other greek love (if you can even call some that) stories like Orpheus and Eurydice, Hades and Persephone, and Aphrodite and Adonis. I analyzed this piece for my art class in the first semester of junior year and am still working on it for a study; it's cool actually how something that takes seconds to admire can take hours to gain insight. Greek myths I think prove that there's a bit of human in everyone; forgiveness and redemption, power and betrayal, love and hate.

🍑Me personally, as an Italian, thinks that Luca should revert back to his earlier style of cinema (i.e. I am love, a bigger splash and cmbyn). Also i have beef because in an interview for Bad Taste a few years back he said he is absolutely opposed to hollywood-y movies with love triangles etc. and look where we are now. I KNOW YOU NEED THE MONEY LUCA BUT PLEASE COME BACK TO YOUR ITALIAN ROOTS (also i think he should cast more niche actors rather than super famous ones).
so anyways here's my two cents on Luca

It’s a fun history podcast hosted by Blair MacMillan and the best youtuber of all time, Carley Thorne (AKA Uncarley on yt). They talk about basically every girl’s roman empire from the Salem Witch Trials to Lady Diana and Anne Boelyn and do so in a very fun and relaxed way. It feels like having a conversation with your best friends sitting on the couch and sipping tea.
