I've got to say, I've been doing a lot of research on Italy recently and I literally can't stop thinking about your boys. I'm over here trying to read about whatever Crusade and my brain is just a constant loop of "isn't Machete a cardinal? And Vasco was from like Verona, right?" Not super conducive to learning anything, but I am enjoying myself and thought you should know.
Thank you for your lovely art and for sharing your darlings <33
That's adorable ;^; But also sorry the lads keep distracting you, hah.
I'd argue that getting invested in your characters and their stories and having to do background research for them is actually a great way to accumulate knowledge about various subjects. Often it's stuff you probably would never get around to reading about otherwise. I'm not saying it's always information you'll have many practical uses for, but learning about new things is fun and it's beneficial to you and your brain in the long run.
Vasco is from Florence actually! It's usually considered to be the birthplace and the main hub of the entire Renaissance movement. Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo lived and influenced there and Dante Alighieri (author of The Divine Comedy/Dante's Inferno) was florentine as well, albeit he lived several centuries prior to them.

i hate how little dogs have a reputation for being stinky and crusty 😭 the stinkiness and crustiness are almost always an issue of neglect (either hygeine or failing to care for allergies if present) and when properly cared for fluffy little dogs are usually somewhat less smelly than shedding breeds

Love that my insurance is so dogshit I'm putting doggy ear ointment into my ear to hopefully get some relief for this ear infection
No local urgent care takes my insurance, and my original appointment was cancelled due to the doctor getting sick and the next appointment is a week out
Meanwhile I can't hear out of my left ear, it hurts to sleep on and, of course, there is the Ooze
Really hoping this will provide SOME relief because honestly it's not a smart move but I'm desperate
