La crise du milieu de la vie appelée de nos jours « crise de la quarantaine » causait déjà des ravages voici 700 ans lorsque Dante écrivait son grand œuvre, La Divine Comédie. Cette crise était si connue qu’elle est même le point de départ de ce poème-fleuve. Le camarade Lapine et moi proposons ici quelques pistes d’interprétation à l’auditeur pour le conduire, tel Dante par Virgile, des tréfonds de l’Enfer à l’Empyrée, sommet du Paradis...

THE PLUTO IN SAGITTARIUS GENERATION Born at the start of Globalization, November 10, 1995 - January 25, 2008

I’ve been talking a lot of shit on here about the Pluto in Sagittarius generation. And while I still think my irritations are justified (lol,) I gotta make it up by doing a complete breakdown. Afterall, this is the generation I belong to. 

1995: NASA's Galileo spacecraft arrives at Jupiter

With Pluto in Sagittarius, this is a generation full of creatives, visionaries, academics, philosophers and rebels. We’re all about big ideas and moral philosophy. We’ve had the internet within our fingertips our entire lives, an unlimited database of knowledge and social interconnectivity. I remember a teacher once told me that we were the most educated group of humans humanity has ever seen. And this is true, by middle school many of us were walking around with cellphones in our pockets more powerful than computers built in the 80’s. Through technology, we were able to discover the world at an incredibly young age. 

We have a lot in common with the Pluto in Leo generation (Baby Boomers,) being that both generations are ruled by fire signs. However what differentiates us is that the Pluto in Leo generation is focused on the self (Sun,) and the Pluto in Sagittarius generation is focused on the collective (Jupiter.) We project a sense of optimism despite having such large ambitions. This will serve as an inspiration for future generations. 

Most of us have parents belonging to the Pluto in the Libra Generation. They raised us with values centered on equality and justice. 

We grew up amongst explosive world events: First Internet Meme (1996), Google (1998), Columbine (1998), The Second Congo War (1998), Kosovo Genocide (1999), Launch of International Space Station (2000), 9/11 (2001), Invasion of Iraq (2003), Darfur (2003), Boxing Day Tsunami (2004), Facebook (2004), London Bombings (2005), iPhone (2007), America's first black President (2008), Global Economic Downturn (2008).

Pluto in Capricorn frames our coming of age story. Our teenage years were harsh and depressing. It was an isolating experience that did not involve much fun. For many people born with a Sagittarius Pluto, their adolescence is defined by a Global Pandemic in which all movement was restricted. These years also put into focus old frameworks that must be destroyed and cast aside. We feel punished, and now we are angry. 

The Pluto In Scorpio Generation is coming through and uprooting all these frameworks before passing the torch onto us. We will be the ones to come up with blueprints for new ideologies and ways of thinking. We’re aiming forward and casting an arrow for future generations to follow. 

Past events that occurred while Pluto was in Sagittarius: The Burning of the Library of Alexandria (272), first novel published in Japan (1010), Sorbonne founded (1257), first use of eyeglasses (1268), Columbus sets sail (1502), the birth of Nostradamus (1503), invention of sign language (1749), the first encyclopedia (1751).  

Past figures born while Pluto was in Sagittarius: Constantine I (272), Dante Aligheri (1265), Goethe (1749), James Madison (1751), Alexander Hamilton (1755), Marie Antoinette (1755), Mozart (1756,) William Blake (1757), Robespierre (1758).

ptolemaea.

Ptolemaea, one of the several regions of Cocytus, the frozen lake in the ninth and lowest circle of Hell and the lake is divided into four concentric rings of traitors corresponding, in order of seriousness, to betrayal of family ties, betrayal of community ties, betrayal of guests and betrayal of lords, in the circle of Treachery, Ptolemaea is where those traitors who have betrayed their guests and those with whom they had special relationships with, linger on in frigid agony, lying supine in the ice while their tears freeze in their eye sockets, sealing them with small visors of crystal with even the comfort of weeping is denied to them, and their whole bodies up to their neck are covered in ice so they are forced to devour other traitors in the realm of Ptolemaea. ptolemaea - ethel cain / @mothercain. / gangsta. - kohske. / divine comedy; inferno - dante aligheri.

Insomnia has their cruel claws in me once again

So I’m letting my latest obsessions eat me alive

New song by Hozier called “Francesca” based on > “the first tragic love story” - Paolo and Francesca da Rimini > artwork by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, inspired by Dante Aligheri's Inferno, Canto V

It’s all symbolic and connected from centuries ago to now a constant kaleidoscope of old and new but love and art remains untouched.

The world is on fire

It’s purgatory and paradise

let’s love and sin and create while we can x

Vivziepop claims to critique religion through her show and "reclaim " the concept of Hell through it. Ok, well, here's some critical thinking questions for her.

Are you critiquing religion here ? What is the critique ? What contrasts the religion and the criticism you're giving out as stand outs ? Are you critiquing what hell stands for, or what the idea of it perpetuated by religion is ? Are you utilizing of any aesthetics ? Have you actually read Dante Aligheri's classic 'Divine Comedy' and what it was about ? Do you know what a sin is ? What is your world meant to say about religion as a whole ? For 1 billion dollars can you tell me literally anything about your worldbuilding that you made up and didn't just take from your crew uncredited

Vivzie's yet to critique anything but the idea that grippingly poor, abused, oppressed people should be allowed to be mad at the rich and the assertion that you can't just sponge off your rich grandparents forever.

🖊 BACK AT YOU - I expect at least seven paragraph minimum gogogogogo.

{Well, since I reblogged the poll about the Seven Deadly Sins, here's what the d'Latus (and C'allie) think on those. It rather informs on their personalities.}

The Seven Deadly Sins

Originally written by Evagrius Ponticus, a hermetic Christian monk, in 375 AD, the (originally eight) Seven Deadly Sins have become one of the most well-known theological concepts. Refined by Pope Gregory I in 590 AD into the more familiar list we have today, they encompass the entirety of human "sin" and the darker side of human nature. And really, we have Dante Aligheri to thank for the prevalence of the Seven Deadly Sins concept. Not only did he single-handedly reinvent Hell with his pissy, self-insert Bible fanfic, but he also cemented the notion of the Seven Deadly Sins with sin, damnation and Hell itself. …we could also have a massive discussion about how Dante arranged the sins in levels of severity, as well as the symbolism of the three creatures that appear in the woods after that fucking AMAZING line, but… I'll spare you. (For now.) Do you want an entertaining primer on the sins throughout history and how they've developed into our current ideas? The History Channel's got you covered. (So does YouTube: https://youtu.be/FgYAMWpzRGk) Now with the different perspective of the d'Latus on the very definition of sin, obviously Seifer and Anna (and those who associate with them) have a... unique perspective on the Seven Deadly Sins. Yes, those sins do not precisely exist within Eorzea, but 'human' nature is what it is regardless of where and when a story is set. And we writers do so love having tropes to fall back on. So, as Dante did, let's start with Lust.

Lust

Defined as "very strong sexual desire," there's a key word in that definition that really defines Lust.

Desire.

Desire is insidious. It's persistent. Desire isn't necessarily blatant or violent, but it gently, steadily spurs a character on towards chasing what they want. And their wants are always personal. This isn't a character that can be enticed easily to abandoning their personal goals in favor of helping others; their desires have to be appealed to in order to gain their aid.

A character defined by Lust can absolutely be sexually promiscuous or overtly flirtatious, but it's entirely possible to be the village bicycle and not be driven by Lust.

Lust is a subtle sin, appearing in far more forms than just the complimentary Au Ra that likes to lean over smaller women and smirk. It isn't always the wolf-whistling miqo'te or the ass-grabbing Hyur. Lust is the person who keeps angling towards something they desire, always letting that color their focus as opposed to thinking coldly or logically.

The desire that defines Lust is unending, subtle and steady. Specific desires may change, but a character driven by desire itself will never stop.

Wrath

Clearly, Wrath is just anger, isn't it?

Terrifying anger. Anger taken to the ultimate conclusion of unbound violence. Wrath is the spur to violence and it's Wrath that leads to many, many sins, such as murder.

A Wrathful character isn't always running around punching walls. Wrath is not necessarily constantly explosive.

Wrath is offended.

Anything that doesn't fall in with Wrath's idea of how things should work is incorrect. It's wrong. It's an offense and it's a damn well personal offense. Wrath does not take a trespass lightly; any disrespect must be punished immediately.

A character with the sin of Wrath isn't going to sit and think logically when they feel that offense, be it a refusal by a prospective partner or defeat in combat. They are going to want nothing more than to get revenge, hot or cold, and equal what they feel is a dreadful imbalance in how things "should be."

Naturally, Wrath and Pride go hand in hand, but Wrath is much, much more reactive. Just watch Anna respond to something that's made her angry and you can see it in action.

Gluttony

Hunger.

Unadulterated, pure hunger.

Gluttony isn't necessarily Greed; it doesn't seek to acquire for the display of wealth, for others to see what it's obtained. Gluttony is just a constant, unending hunger for more.

For everything.

Gluttony is a character that can never be satisfied, regardless of what they obtain. They're not interested in flaunting what they have, in courting others to gain more. All they want is to fill that gaping emptiness, to end the hunger that drives them onward.

Gluttony is ravenous and will never stop, regardless of what or who it consumes while trying to sate itself.

A character may feel hunger for anything, but the distinction between hunger and Lust's desire is that hunger is feral. Hunger doesn't care about the niceties of society or the game of luring in prey. Hunger just wants to be sated now.

Envy

Of all the sins, Envy feels they have the least in life.

And oh, how they see what others have and hate them for it.

Envy stems from a deep, deep insecurity that can't help comparing oneself to others. To how they've gotten what should've been yours. How they have what is meant to belong to you. It's hardly your fault that someone else was gifted with the looks, wit, wealth, love that you should've gotten.

As poisonous as the sickly green that it's known as--oh, that 'green-eyed monster'--Envy can drive a character to extremes to either possess or destroy what another person has.

Envy sees that others are enjoying life, enjoying love, enjoying the world around them and because that enjoyment is not theirs… it cannot stand.

Sloth

What often catches people off-guard about those who are driven by Sloth is that they are not, in fact, sluggish. They don't lack motivation. Nor are they incapable or unwilling to act.

What they are is efficient.

Sloth looks at a goal, a problem, a desire and thinks "what's the easiest way to get this?"

Sloth is ignoring all moral constraints to achieve a goal in the easiest way possible, be that theft, forgery, murder or other equally unsavory acts. If drugging someone will make them malleable to your will, why not do it?

Why not conserve energy and take the easy route? Why not steal instead of work, leech instead of produce, take instead of give? If there's a simpler way to achieve a goal, Sloth will find it.

Greed

For Greed, nothing is worth anything if it isn't what someone else doesn't have.

Sharing an insecurity with Envy, Greed, however, doesn't want what others have.

It wants others to want what they have.

Greed longs to flaunt their power, their wealth, their beauty, their superiority in someone else's face. Their assurance is found in the Envy of others, in the wistful stares or the low muttering. And Greed comes in several forms.

A Greed to collect as much as possible, to deprive others of what they want and sit comfortably, knowing that others are staring longingly at what they have. A Greed to flaunt what they have, rubbing it in the faces of others, to snatch a rare item before another can retrieve it. A Greed that subtly remarks on how costly or rare something is, how many others pursued their partner, how many vied for the house they got.

Greed only finds pleasure when others are witness to their success over them.

Pride

"It was pride that changed angels into devils." ~ St. Augustine

And indeed, it was.

Of all the sins, Pride is perhaps the easiest to crush, the easiest to damage, the weakest and the one most likely to dive into self-destruction.

Pride is hollow.

Nothing holds Pride up save their desperate need to be the All, the Ultimate, the Best. Perhaps in all spheres, perhaps only in one. Pride doesn't have the flexibility to survive because it can Only Do Things Its' Way. It can Only Be the Ultimate Arbiter of What Is Correct.

When combined with Wrath, a villain is like a magnesium fire--bright, hot and dies quickly.

Pride will cut its nose off to spite its face, will kill a lover to punish them for choosing another, will deny a promotion that came a day too late. The only real strength in Pride is that it will push a character to extremes no other sin can. Pride abides none above it, none before it and if that means killing themselves and the world around them to ensure that?

So be it.

((I need 2 bring back my Danny Phantom oc thanks to the new GN that's come out...

Her name is Amanda Aligheri, her bio dad claims relation to Dante but Amanda thinks he's full of shit. But she's an accidental necromancer thanks to falling down a haunted mineshaft during her last year of high school on a dare with her asshole friends and being left for dead. She survived...at the cost of her right leg from the knee down.

She basically fell into a portal to the Ghost Zone/afterlife and was stuck there the entire weekend while she literally crawled back up from Hell.

While she was down there, she absorbed a lot of necrotic energy and gained the power to temporarily reanimate dead matter and, most frighteningly, she acts as a power boost to any nearby ghost. It's...not what she wanted to do with her life, but it's not like she's got much of a choice.))
