This may be something I ought to dig for myself (if so, no worries) but do you know offhand if Tavola Ritonda or any other Italian Arthuriana gives specific Italian language variants for Kay’s Nicknames™️? Specifically for Gareth, re: Beaumains! I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s a common rendition for the very normal reason that I’ve fallen into the habit of scolding our cats (Sirs Beaumains, Gingalain, and Florence) in Italian, and it seems wrong not to TRY to be consistent…

Hi there! And hello to your kitties! Love their names. :^)

Not to go Full Nerd on you, but La Tavola Ritonda pre-dates Le Morte d'Arthur by 40ish years! So Gariette, as Gareth was called in Italian, had not yet been written into his kitchen boy role. Despite this, the translator, Anne Shaver, made some frustrating choices. In the introduction, she says:

Girl what are you talking about...First of all, the names in these examples are at least a little easier to decipher, "Lancilotto" is "Lancelot" and "Isotta" is "Isolde." But then Shaver goes and writes "Amorotto" drawing from the Prose Tristan "Amoral" when Malory used the Post Vulgate name for the character, "Lamorak," and that's how everyone knows him. On top of that, all place names are in Italian too, so "Ireland" is "Irlanda." This would be fine if she had at least been consistent. But no. We've got "Breus Sanza Pietá/Bruce sans Pité" because of Malory? It doesn't even match? Confusing is an understatement. That all said, Dinadan's brother Brunor still has his funny nickname! In La Tavola Ritonda, he isn't "Brunor La Cote Male Taille," as Malory had named him, but "Brunoro of the Ill-Fitting Coat." So he has an Italian first name and English nickname.

Unfortunately, this is the only Italian text I have, so I don't know if there are other nicknames in other stories. I'm nearly done scanning this, though, and then I'll share it. But I do have the Arthurian Name Dictionary by Christopher W. Bruce and the Arthurian Companion by Phyllis Ann Karr which are full of information that might help you find some nicknames for your kitty cats. As you can see, consistency is important to me as well as you. ;^) Good luck!

Ohhh hey Circuit Preacher kicks ass!! I was JUST talking to my Goth Coworker™️ yesterday about how all the EBM/industrial stuff we listen to in that style is from the same bands we’ve been listening to for the last like two decades… then I saw that post… we are about to put that on rotation at the office asap. If you can think of any more off the top of your head, are there more new EBM acts out there that you’ve been enjoying??

Yesssss I'm so glad you're enjoying Circuit Preacher!!!

There's a real dearth of good new EBM stuff unfortunately so I don't have many suggestions.

Die Krupps has a side project called Die Robo Sapiens which is decent (it sounds just like Die Krupps tbh)

A Projection is good darkwave

If you like Neue Deutsche Härte, Schattenmann is a good recent-ish industrial group

here are my favorite quotes from dune messiah cause frank herbert cooked so hard

“save your praise for those who can be swayed by it”

“beloved,” she whispered. “have i troubled you?” her arms enclosed his future as they enclosed him. “not you,” he said. “oh… not you.”

“paul saw the moon become an elongated sphere. it rolled and twisted, hissing — the terrible hissing of a star being quenched in an infinite sea. it was gone. no moon. the earth quaked like an animal shaking its skin.”

“the flesh surrenders itself. eternity takes back its own.”

“they’ve blinded my body, but not my vision”

“awakening, she’d found paul sitting beside her, his eyeless sockets aimed at some formless place beyond. chani stilled a fit of trembling when he aimed those eyeless sockets at her.”

“i was baptized in sand and it cost me the knack of believing. who trades in faiths anymore? who’ll buy? who’ll sell?”

“we have eternity, beloved.” “you may have eternity. i only have now.” “but this is eternity.”

“he felt his body through her touch: dead flesh carried by time eddies. he reeked of memories that had glimpsed eternity. Past and Future became simultaneous.”

“you cannot see!” “i don’t need eyes to see you.”

“if you need something to worship, then worship life—all life, every last crawling bit of it! we’re all in this beauty together!”

“this myth he’d made out of intricate movements and imagination, out of moonlight and love, out of prayers older than Adam, and gray cliffs and crimson shadows, laments and rivers of martyrs—what had it come to at last? when the waves receded, the shores of Time would spread out there clean, empty, shining with infinite grains of memory and little else. was this the golden genesis of man?”

“there are problems in this universe for which there are no answers.”

“people are subordinate to government, but the ruled influence the rulers.”

“he is the fool saint, the golden stranger living forever on the edge of reason.”

So fucking wild how Herbert spent years working with Gruber to develop the reagent in an ethical, above the board way only to fucking use it on people he killed like a few weeks after he fucking died

#Hey what’s the best way to honour my dead mentor who lost his life trying to improve human condition? #Use the same fucking serum for medical malpractice of course #Like damn you couldn’t find a more ethical way to do shit? Was Gruber the only one stopping you? #reanimator #dan cain #herbert west #bride of reanimator
