I'm curious: how do Gallifreyans perceive relationships/ marriages? Are they in general more loyal or are they more polyamorous? Do they have specific rituals like we humans? Does such things even matter to such a highly advanced species?

Gallifreyan Love

🔗 Cultural Norms and Practices

On Gallifrey, the idea of relationships is intertwined with a deeply rooted sense of duty and a hierarchical societal structure. Relationships, especially among the higher echelons of Time Lord society, serve more purpose as strategic alliances than expressions of personal affection. As you can imagine, the extended lifespans of Gallifreyans, coupled with their capability for regeneration, add a few more layers of complexity - imagine getting a divorce 500 years in, and having to separate that CD collection.

The influence of the Curse of the Pythia, which rendered the majority of Gallifreyans sterile and thus made sex pointless in a practical way, has historically shaped Gallifrey's approaches to relationships. The emergence of "loomed" Time Lords pivoted their species towards asexuality, and many Gallifreyans were celibate as a societal norm. However, Low Town does have a couple of brothels, so make of that what you will.

💍 Dating and Marriage Conventions

Despite the strategic nature of many Gallifreyan relationships, marriages born of love are not unheard of. The rituals surrounding marriage, however, are pretty obscure. We don't know much beyond the tradition of donning white - a colour symbolising death on Gallifrey - suggesting marriage is like death, or something(?)

The act of courtship among Gallifreyans is another big question mark. While traditional "date nights" as understood by humans might not align with Gallifreyan practices, their society does have plenty of date locations, from the dives of Low Town to the posh restaurants of Arcadia.

🔄 Monogamy vs. Polyamory

Due to their extended lifespans and regenerative capabilities, the concept of lifetime commitment can stretch across centuries and several physical forms. This unique condition creates a social fabric where both monogamous and polyamorous relationships can thrive, each serving different purposes and reflecting individual preferences.

Monogamy: For some Gallifreyans, especially those in positions of political or social prominence, a monogamous relationship might symbolise a stable alliance or a deeply personal bond that persists through regenerations.

Polyamory: On the other hand, the very nature of Gallifreyan society lends itself to more fluid relationship structures. Polyamorous relationships, in this context, might be strategic, forming networks of support, influence, and mutual benefit among different Houses or factions.

🏫 Modern Interpretations

In contemporary times, society is still adapting to the shifting political landscape and the return of biological reproduction. The deeply ingrained traditions of the old may be giving way to new forms of personal expression and connection. Yet, for all the advancements and changes, Gallifrey remains a society where duty and tradition wield significant influence and probably will for a long time to come.

Hope that helped! 😃

Robert Cunninghame-Graham 1st President of National Party of Scotland and the first MP to call himself a socialist died 20th March 1936.

To me Robert Cunninghame-Graham is one of the most interesting of our 19th/20th century politicians.

please just like the post as a historical entity, and just dinnae........

Cunninghame Graham was an author, traveller explorer, politician and adventurer, he was a man of extraordinary talents, tireless energy and considerable courage. His friend and contemporary Joseph Conrad remarked, “When I think of Cunninghame Graham, I feel as though I have lived all my life in a dark hole without seeing or knowing anything.” and I have to agree with him, I use the term Polymath now and then for some subjects I post about, he was that, and more.

Born in London in 1852, educated at Harrow, but always, always, a Scot to his marrow, Cunninghame Graham was a descendant of the Earls of Menteith and the son of a laird whose lands eventually extended from Gartmore in Stirlingshire to Ardoch in Dunbartonshire and Finlaystone in Renfrewshire. It was there that Robert was largely brought up, coming heavily under the influence of his Spanish grandmother.

After schooling, at Harrow, Robert finished his education in Brussels, Belgium, learning, among other things, the art of swordsmanship at which he became an expert.

In a crowded life — Cunninghame Graham was variously a Member of Parliament, a gaucho in South America, a fencing master, a founder member of both the Independent Labour Party and the Scottish National Party, a rancher, horse-trainer, buffalo hunter and Long Rider through North and South America — he wrote prolifically. He called himself, "Don Roberto,". He also enjoyed a journey into Morocco, disguised as an Arab Sheik, he was, as they say, some man!

In 1872 Cunninghame Graham rode on horseback 600 miles up the river Parana to the Iguacu Falls, researching the role of the early Jesuits with the local Indians. His subsequent book, A Vanished Arcadia, was made into a film, The Mission starring Jeremy Irons. He lived for a time in Argentina, where his extended family had a ranch, by way of Uruguay and Paraguay. He became an expert horseman, riding with gauchos, and his admiration for these men was such that he often wore gaucho clothes when back home, he must have been quite a sight!

He wrote that one day on a knoll in the pampas he met a man who greeted him in halting Spanish. Cunninghame Graham suggested he speak in English and referred to the view. The man, said, perhaps hearing a Scots accent for the first time in 20 years, “Aye, but man, it’s naething tae the view off Dumyat.”

Don Roberto married to an equally colourful and talented woman that he met in Paris, Gabrielle de la Balmondiere, who had been described as a Chilean princess. In fact, she was an actress called Caroline Horsfall, who went on to be a published poet. Among her many admirers was WB Yeats.

His contact with poor people everywhere made him a socialist before that term was even coined. On returning from South America, he rapidly took up political campaigning and in 1886, there being no Labour Party, he stood on a radical ticket for the Liberals in North West Lanarkshire, winning comfortably.

On 12th September 1887 he was suspended from parliament for making what was called a "disrespectful reference" to the House of Lords. He was the first MP ever to be suspended from the House of Commons for swearing; the word was damn.

He was suspended from the House of Commons in December 1888 for protesting about the working conditions of chain makers. His response to the Speaker of the House, "I never withdraw", was later used by George Bernard Shaw in Arms and the Man.

He truly was a courageous man – in 1887, he was beaten up badly by police at the original Bloody Sunday in Trafalgar Square and was jailed for six weeks.

His leftward move and meetings with James Keir Hardie led him to co-found the Scottish Labour Party with Keir Hardie, but has been largely airbrushed out of the history of the party, due to his Scottish Nationalist views.

Its manifesto included nationalisation of land and minerals, an eight-hour day, State insurance, the abolition of the House of Lords and all hereditary offices, home rule for Scotland, the abolition of the liquor tariff and the disestablishment of State Churches.

Yet Labour disappointed him, don’t they always, and after World War One – he volunteered a the age of 62 and became a horse-buyer for the Army – his growing nationalism saw him become president of the National Party of Scotland, the forerunner of the SNP. On 23rd June, 1928, in the King’s Park, Stirling, he presided at its inaugural rally.

He was friends with everyone from Buffalo Bill Cody to George Bernard Shaw, had his portrait painted by Sir John Lavery, knew the Glasgow Boys cirlce of artists personally, was close friends with the writers Joseph Conrad and G.K Chesterton, and generally personified the word kenspeckle. A writer of over 30 books himself, there is a seat dedicated to Cunninghame Graham in the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh with the inscription: "R B 'Don Roberto' Cunninghame Graham of Gartmore and Ardoch,

Few Scots actually know of yer man, but In Entre Rios, in the north east of Argentina is the Instituto Magnasco, in Gualeguaychu (pronounced Wally-wy-chew) there is a Cunninghame Graham library and museum! His books are available there to read on the premises, and the Smith’s library is based on that facility.

The Journalist and author, the late Rennie of the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum wrote a booklet about Robert Cunninghame-Graham, called Braw Gallant, he wrote of the man : “He was a pioneer of socialism and Scottish nationalism, fought unemployment and poverty, backed the rights of native peoples against colonialism and short-sighted development, supported free speech, was an active conservationist, got caught up in the Irish question, attacked brutal wars when it was not fashionable to do so and was prepared to die or be imprisoned for his beliefs.

“The words knightly and chivalrous come to mind.”

Robert Cunninghame-Graham retired to Argentina, where he continued to be active, he would still ride daily while in his 80′s, he died on this day in 1936 of pneumonia at the Plaza Hotel in Retiro. Such was his standing he lay in state in the Casa del Teatro and received a countrywide tribute led by the President of the Republic of Argentina, before his body was shipped home to be buried beside his wife, in the ruined Augustinian Priory on the island of Inchmahome, Lake of Menteith, Stirlingshire. There is a memorial to him at at Castlehill, Dumbarton. The monument, which is built of Scottish stone, but also contains stones from Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

Between these stones is a medallion of Cunninghame Graham (in his latter years) by the Liverpool born artist Alexander Proudfoot, RSA, who taught sculpture at Glasgow School of Art. Below the medallion is an epitaph which reads:

"Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham 1852-1936 - Famous Author - Traveller and Horseman - Patriotic Scot and Citizen of the World - As Betokened by the Stones above. Died in Argentina, interred in Inchamahome - He Was a Master of Life - A King Among Men"

On the Argentinian stone, there is a portrait of his favourite horse Pampa, an Argentine mustang which he had rescued from pulling trams in Glasgow and rode for some 20 years and the inscription:

"To Pampa my black Argentine who I rode for twenty years without a fall. May the earth lie light upon him as lightly as he trod upon its face. Vale...or until so long. Don Roberto."

One of Pampa's hooves is buried beneath the monument.

The monument suffered considerable damage through vandalism during the 1970s and was moved in May 1981 to the village of Gartmore (where, until 1900, Gartmore House had been the principal seat of the Cunninghame Graham family), and was unveiled on Cunninghame Graham's birthday (24 May) by the Argentinian Ambassador. It is currently in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. Despite the removal of the monument to Gartmore, the Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park at Castlehill is affectionately known as "the Mony" and the original site of the Memorial marked by a stone.

In 2012 the National Trust for Scotland carried out significant conservation work on the monument which was completed in time for the 160th anniversary of Cunninghame Graham's birth. A new stone was added to commemorate another of Don Roberto's horses, Pingo, and a new information panel was placed nearby, as seen in the photos, the painting is Don Roberto on Pampas, and recently sold at Christies for over 31 thousand pounds.

The pics are my own from a visit to Kelvingrove Art Gallery last month.

Aye ah ken this post has gone on a wee bit more than my usual, I hope you have enjoyed reading it, but please, go have a look at this wee article about the man by Dominic Hilton, on The Critic web page, it is quite amusing. https://thecritic.co.uk/from-gaucho-to-rive-gauche-and.../

Aron Wiesenfeld's "The Gardener."

Currently on view at Arcadia Contemporary in New York City is artist Aron Wiesenfeld's must see, extraordinary solo exhibition, "The Gardener."

Wiesenfeld's captivating artwork immerses viewers in atmospheric spaces brimming with an air of melancholy and a profound sense of solitude. His masterfully crafted scenes showcase dimly lit, enigmatic landscapes where the urban and the wild intersect, creating a sense of liminality. Characters often find themselves on the cusp of a mysterious abyss, seemingly lost in introspection.

Wiesenfeld's evocative compositions, which draw from his background as a comic book illustrator, skillfully intertwine elements of romanticism and mystery. His works primarily focus on isolated figures set in natural landscapes or desolate urban streets, all deeply inspired by his childhood town of Santa Cruz. He considers each piece an open invitation for viewers to weave their own narratives, inviting them to dive into the enigmatic scenes and explore the intricate emotions and stories they may evoke.

Books I read in August 2023

The Tao Te Ching by Laozi, trans. Stephen Mitchell. Nonfiction: foundational text for Daoist thought. My library has access to a few different translations so I'm thinking about trying a different one later for comparison. I appreciated Mitchell's prologue about his approach when translating.

Burn the Place by Iliana Regan. Nonfiction: memoir. This book is about growing up gay in a rural setting, alcoholism, strained family dynamics, and the life-changing power of food. I didn't always find myself sympathizing with Iliana, but the way she writes about the restaurant lifestyle made me nostalgic for my own past restaurant jobs.

Kindred by Octavia Butler. Fiction: historical, scifi/fantasy. A Black women is transported from 1976 back to the early 1800s to save the life of a white boy who will eventually become a slaveholder--and her ancestor. Major cw for slavery, sexual assault, and torture. This was my first time reading something by Octavia Butler and I was just amazed at her skill. She absolutely measures up to her reputation.

Tripping Arcadia by Kit Mayquist. Fiction: contemporary, gothic, suspense. This is a book about socio-economic class, medical abuse, and poison. Cw for a lot of drug use and violence.

He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan. Fiction: historical, fantasy. Cw for sexual assault, child death, and the general violence of a war narrative. This is the sequel to She Who Became the Sun, continuing Zhu Yuanzhang's struggle to become the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty. There were one or two plot points that made me want to throw my phone accross the room, but I found myself really appreciating the conclusion. This series is a fascinating exploration of gender-nonconformity in its historical setting.

The Makers of Scotland by Tim Clarkson. Nonfiction: history. I didn't have a lot of knowledge about Scottish history going into this book, so I found a lot of names and dates to be pretty slippery. I enjoyed how this book discussed the difficulty of working with sparse or insufficiently credible sources.

The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga. Nonfiction: self-improvement, philosophy. I didn't find this book to be as utterly life-changing as it promised, but it was pretty insightful. I like it more as a philosophy book than as self-help.

Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss. Fiction: contemporary-ish? (set in the early 90s), about a girl who wants to leave an Iron Age reenactment camp co-led by her abusive father in northern England. The knowing details about Iron Age Britain were really enjoyable, and the terror of this book got pretty intense! Cw physical & emotional abuse, animal cruelty, human sacrifice

My book count started going way up as soon as I got back to Georgia and had to walk everywhere! I'm starting September with a longish audiobook (29 hours) so I'm not sure how dramatic the increase will look next month, but I'm excited to be getting through more material lately! I feel like it adds a lot to my quality of life.

@fellapart liked for a harlock starter

the captain of the arcadia stood tall and confident, his hands meeting one another behind his back. there was an air of nonchalance about him, but that was deceiving. harlock kept mostly to himself. the arcadia and it's crew were not really focused on notoriety as it were. but that, in and of itself came with it's bonuses. sometimes to be unknown or underestimated gave you the upper hand.

harlock also happened to be an observant man. he made a point to be aware of his contemporaries and of the potential threat they posed.

❝ so, buggy was it? ❞ he asked, knowing full well who he was speaking to. now it was merely about determining whether or not the other pirate was friend or foe, and as quickly as possible.

#fellapart #i love harlock so much #thank you for liking #i cry #𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊 : verse: one piece . ⧽ — — i fight only for what i believe in.

Our culture is going through a Gothic Revival, partly thanks to the influence of Tim Burton. Gothic literature may have thrived in the 19th century (and my high school English class) but a lot of contemporary writers are returning to the tradition, creating stories that reimagine the past or look at the present through a Gothic lens. I talk with Xavier Aldana Reyes of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies about how The Gothic is like a mode or a sensibility that can take over any genre. Kit Mayquist, author of Tripping Arcadia: A Gothic Novel, discusses why The Gothic feels like the right fit for a generation that was gaslit while coming of age during war and a recession. And Leila Taylor, author of Darkly: Black History and America's Gothic Soul, explains that America will always be haunted by its Gothic past until we confront it. Featuring readings by voice actor Tanya Rich.

Hello! I love your art, especially your sapphic pieces and the underrated wlw series. I have a question. Since you really like depicting flora, fungi etc and read fantasy, do you know of any fantasy/horror/gothic books along the lines of Wilder Girls where there is plant magic, gothic elements (bones, creepers and flowers etc, maybe body horror) etc? I really like that type of aesthetic but don't know which books to read. Any gothic / flora+fungi heavy books will do!

Thank you so much!! and omg yes my fav thing (well, I'm more of a fantasy reader than gothic/horror, admittedly). Here's a few I can think of, I'm sure there's some I'm missing!

I'm only mentioning the relevant aspects here, so make sure you look up what they're actually about, CWs, etc. adult unless I've marked them YA. *asterix means sapphic since that might also be of interest haha

Sorrowland* (gothic horror/sff - plant/bone/fungi body horror) Mexican Gothic (fungi, gothic horror) House of Hollow* (YA gothic planty horror (bi mc, m/f)) Yellow Jessamine* (gothic, plants & poisons) Annihilation (scifi planty horror - you may have seen the movie)

more sf/fantasy than horror: The Dawnhounds* (dark urban/high fantasy, city made of fungi) The Annual Migration of Clouds (more hopepunk/scifi - has an alien fungus infecting people) The Jasmine Throne* (high fantasy, has a plant disease that infects people) This Poison Heart* (YA contemporary fantasy - MC inherits a poisonous plant garden so it vaguely has the vibes. not really horror tho.) A Dark and Starless Forest (YA, this has plant magic, and horror (paranormal) aspects)

These I remember having a moment or two of fungi horror or magic but it's not necessarily a major theme: Rules For Vanishing* (YA horror) Undead Girl Gang (YA horror) The River Has Teeth* (YA witchy fantasy/horror)

Books I have not read:

The Girl With All The Gifts (YA, fungi zombies) Where Darkness Blooms* (YA, unreleased, i'm making assumptions from the cover) Tripping Arcadia* (gothic, I know the MC is a botanist, not sure on actual plant horror themes) Ambergris (fungi, horror) The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley (fungi, horror) The Bone Houses (YA, plants, maybe fungi? unsure) What Moves the Dead (horror, fungi - I think possibly a few of T. Kingfisher's books have this vibe? haven't read any)

#I might delete this ask from my art blog in a few days but I will reblog it onto my book blog!
