Tumblr media

Tumblr media
tanimura gets a lot of fighty guys, in particular i tried to find ones that sorta fit with the little asia stuff he's got going on. blastoise is there because of the tortoise thing and he's got a gun so ??? actually i might switch blastoise out if i end up exploring this au more LOL and zebstrika's there because he's a horse girl <3

the kiss of shame: osculum infame
satan-worshippers approach the devil in the form of a goat to kiss his anus. in the background, demons and witches flying on brooms.

this poem’s for the birds
[Image description by @dianbalpin-0p: A comic about Flapjack and Hunter from The Owl House. It starts with Gus opening a curtain saying: "And now...poetry!", he then closes the curtain and opens it again immediately as he continues saying: "...By Flapjack." The curtain then opens to show Flapjack sitting on a stool with a microphone in front of him. He says "Ahem." and then starts repeating the word "tweet" multiple times. Hunter, who is wearing his Golden Guard uniform, is sitting at a table looking at Flapjack with a fond expression as he sighs and says: "He has such a way with words." Willow, Luz and Amity can be seen sitting at the tables next to Hunter. Willow is staring at him with a neutral expression, while Luz and Amity stare at him with confused expressions. /End description]

Cover and a page from the 1922 edition of The Donkey's Dispute.
Did you know that, in the year 1417, a writer wrote a novel where he almost looses an argument to a donkey?
This is The Donkey's Dispute (Disputa de l'Ase in Catalan) written by the Mallorcan author called Anselm Turmeda or Abd-Allah at-Tarjuman in his mother tongue Catalan.
The novella tells the story of an animal society where, after the death of their king the Lion, they appoint another lion as the next king. The celebrations for the crowning of the new king wake up Anselm Turmeda, who was sleeping nearby. The animals recognise him as the Mallorcan author who had defended the foolish idea that humans are superior to animals, and they decide to settle the topic with a public debate between Anselm and a representative chosen by the animals.
The animals choose "the filthy donkey with the tail cut off", a humble animal that Anselm dismisses as easy to beat but which proves to have a much higher intellect than expected. Anselm explains an argument for human superiority, but the donkey answers refuting it. Anselm presents 19 arguments, and the donkey makes 18 of them unusable thanks to his smart answers, which he also used to introduce witty and funny stories proving that many religious men are more than happy to take part in the seven deadly sins. The only argument for human superiority that the donkey can't refute is the last one: when God came to Earth, he took the shape of a human man, mixing his divinity with humans and becoming another "son of Adam", thus brother to humans. Jesus Christ did not make himself a donkey.
Even though the novella ends with a religious reference, it also includes moments that criticize the Catholic religious institution. For this reason, the Spanish Inquisition banned the book in 1583. As a result of the Inquisition's persecution, the manuscript and all the copies of the original version in Catalan have been lost, except for one part where the donkey makes a prophecy, which was printed separately.
Luckily, the book had been translated into other languages, and the Inquisition did not reach other countries to destroy the translated copies that were there. We know the full text of the book because a translation into French printed in Lyon in 1544 and a translation into German printed in Montbéliard in 1606 have been preserved.
