Introduction/Who am I?

Okay, so since I’m back on here again in the ongoing exodus, I thought I’d better do an introductory post for anyone who wants to follow as well as refresh old friends and followers. Open to new friendships so feel free to send me asks, reply, or whatever if you want to talk.

Francesca (Fran, Frankie for short)

Englishwoman

Lesbian, f4f

Cat person (see previous bullet)

I enjoy writing although I’m aware I’ll probably never be published so it’s mostly just something I do for my own personal catharsis and expression.

Night owl

Haute couture enjoyer

Learning French (c. B1, B2 reading level), want to learn European Portuguese, Spanish, Latin, Dutch, interested in language acquisition more broadly

Also enjoy art/painting, aesthetics, fashion, memes, food and (maybe too much) drink. Lots more that I can’t think of at the moment so maybe a sequel in the future when I feel like being inward-looking again?

LJUDI ZAPELI POD RUŠEVINAMA, NITKO IM NE MOŽE POMOĆI! Požar bukti oko urušenih zgrada, broje se žrtve: Francuska u suzama

U Marseilleu se dogodila strašna nesreća u kojoj su se urušile dvije stambene zgrade, a najmanje šest ljudi je ozlijeđeno iz okolnih objekata. Prema službenim izvorima, vatra sprječava spasioce u potrazi za žrtvama, a procjenjuje se da je zarobljeno pod ruševinama između četiri i 12 osoba. Gradonačelnik Marseillea, Benoit Payan, izvijestio je novinare da su se dvije zgrade urušile nedugo nakon ponoći, dok je treća djelomično urušena tijekom jutra. Cijeli kvart je evakuiran. Još nije poznat uzrok nesreće, a vjerojatno se tijekom današnjeg dana neće službeno potvrditi. Francuski ministar unutarnjih poslova izjavio je da su neki svjedoci prijavili da su tijekom noći osjetili miris plina, pa se pretpostavlja da bi eksplozija plina mogla biti uzrok urušavanja zgrade. Ministar i gradonačelnik su potvrdili da je srušena zgrada bila u dobrom stanju te da nije bilo nedavnih intervencija u toj ulici. Međutim, gašenje požara trajat će još najmanje nekoliko sati, kako je izjavio francuski ministar unutarnjih poslova, a isto se očekuje i od gradonačelnika Marseillea, Benoît Payana. Émotion avec Marseille, où un immeuble de la rue Tivoli s’est effondré cette nuit. Je pense aux personnes touchées et à leurs proches. Les recherches se poursuivent avec d’importants moyens déployés. Merci aux pompiers et aux secours mobilisés. — Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) April 9, 2023 “Suosjećam s Marseilleom gdje se sinoć srušila zgrada u ulici Tivoli. U mislima sam sa stradalima i njihovim voljenima. Spasilačka akcija se nastavlja uz angažiranje značajnih resursa. Hvala mobiliziranim vatrogascima i spasiocima”, objavio je francuski predsjednik Emmanuel Macron. Dnevno.hr Read the full article

“Predsjednik, Evropa i rat”, uzbudljiv dokumentarac Guya Lagachea uronjen uz Emmanuela Macrona „Hteo sam da igram hokej na ledu. Pričam sa tobom iz teretane. Ove dvije rečenice bile bi anegdotske da ih nije izgovorio Vladimir Putin tokom telefonskog intervjua s Emmanuelom Macronom 20. februara, četiri dana prije nego što je Rusija napala Ukrajinu. Ove opaske, posebno lunarne s obzirom na geopolitički kontekst, naglašavaju jednu od mnogih snažnih sekvenci A Predsjednik, Evropa i rat , koju će France 2 emitovati u četvrtak, 30. juna, u 21:10. Tokom iste razmjene, mi čujte kako šef francuske države podiže glas pred svojim sagovornikom o sporazumima iz Minska: „Ne znam gdje je vaš advokat naučio zakon. Ne zanimaju nas prijedlozi separatista. Ono što mi govorite dovodi u sumnju vašu spremnost da pregovarate. » Nije pretjerivanje govoriti o izuzetnom ili značajnom dokumentarcu: on uranja javnost u srce diplomatske ćelije Jeliseja i priča priču koja se odvija, od porasta tenzija na vratima Evrope, do eksplozije sukoba i njegove prve posljedice. Rat koji u vrhu države, izgleda, niko nije želeo da vidi. “Mislim da nije sve izgubljeno” 2. februara, dok se ruske vojne vježbe umnožavaju oko Ukrajine, Emmanuel Macron je uvjeren. „Pokušat ćemo sve to 'deeskalirati'," rekao je. Mislim da nije sve izgubljeno. On iznosi svoju analizu: „Nismo razmišljali o kraju Hladnog rata. Francuski predsjednik se 7. februara pet sati sastao sa svojim ruskim kolegom u Moskvi. On tada situaciju smatra “zabrinjavajućom”. Sljedećeg dana je odletio u Kijev gdje je iza zatvorenih vrata tri sata razgovarao sa šefom ukrajinske države Volodimirom Zelenskim. Za to vrijeme diplomatija završava potpisivanje loše sklopljenih industrijskih ugovora: neizvjesnost od koje dokumentarni film ne propušta ni mrvicu. Iza kamere, Guy Lagache. Novinar je od januara uronio iza kulisa Jeliseja. Njegov projekat je u startu bio sasvim drugačiji: „Govoriti Evropi na ljudskom nivou“ i „na edukativni način“ u vreme kada Francuska na šest meseci preuzima predsedavanje Savetom Evropske unije. Rat u Ukrajini potpuno je poremetio njegove planove: promjena ugla je bila suštinska. “To je jedan od najtežih predmeta koje sam radio u životu” „Prvi put u istoriji dokumentarnih filmova vidimo da se vlast vrši u Francuskoj“, podvukao je reporter koji je u ponedeljak predstavio svoju produkciju nekolicini medija, uključujući 20 minuta . Guy Lagache je sve slike snimio sam. Uspio je ubaciti svoju kameru u bunker Jelisej gdje se održavao vijeće odbrane. “To je jedan od najtežih predmeta koje sam radio u životu. Imao sam napade, ali to nije bio otvoren bar , objašnjava. Sa njima se sve dogovaralo, dan za danom, sat za satom. Jednom kada uđete u prvi dan, ne uzimajte drugi zdravo za gotovo. Sve se mora početi ispočetka. Morali smo odvojiti vrijeme da uspostavimo odnos povjerenja. Nije li postojao rizik od pada u com plan? „Činjenica da nisam politički novinar znači da nisam zagađen navikom da pokrivam Emanuela Makrona kroz prizmu politike, odgovara Guy Lagache. Da ima posla na komunikaciji, ne sumnjam. Da li je činjenica da ide u Kijev sa još tri šefa država čin političke komunikacije? Očigledno. “I da preciziram da je on satima snimao pozive” i da je sigurno da kada vas Putin pozove, ne znate šta će se dogoditi. » Samo jedna obrisana sekvenca Guy Lagache je bio na putovanju – vozom – 16. juna, zajedno sa Emmanuelom Makronom, Olafom Šolcom i Mariom Dragijem koji su putovali u Ukrajinu kako bi se tamo sastali sa Volodimirom Zelenskim. U vagonu je intervjuisao francuskog predsjednika. Slijed se ne pojavljuje u radnoj kopiji koju smo pozvani da pogledamo, ali novinar tvrdi da mu je postavio “sva pitanja koja su se činila važnima”, a posebno njegov poticaj da “ne ponižava Rusiju”. „Ono što me zanima je koja je svrha to govoriti? Zašto se projektovati u budućnost kada smo u sadašnjosti?, pita se Guy Lagache. Vidimo da iza toga stoji strategija, želja da se pripremimo za kraj [du conflit], naravno, ali i da se suprotstavimo anglosaksonskoj strategiji. » U vrijeme pisanja ovih redova, Emmanuel Macron još nije vidio ovaj dokumentarac. Emanuel Bon, šef francuske diplomatske ćelije, imao je pravo na "tehnički" pregled. “Želeo sam da se uverim da elementi koji se emituju nisu tajno-odbrambeni ili poverljivi i da stoga nisu u poziciji da naruše nacionalnu bezbednost, ukazuje novinarka. Samo jednu stvar sam izvadio, vrlo povjerljive informacije. Ovo ništa ne oduzima interesu predsjednika, Evrope i rata da javnost ocijeni šta je propalo. I šta nije uspelo. Članak je na francuskom!

“Antifeminist jest and satire against alewives, shrews, and gossip soften grouped together as gossips' literature-provides a rich site for this sort of excavation. The word gossip itself requires more careful treatment than it is usually given. Respectable for centuries, gossip (from godsip) referred primarily to a godparent of either gender. By the sixteenth century the word was being applied to any close female friend, though it was sometimes used for male friends as well. In the late sixteenth century "gossiping" described a "merry meeting" of women to drink, laugh, and talk; it was not until a century later that Johnson's Dictionary equated gossip with the obnoxious woman "who runs about tattling like women at a lying in." Early modern speakers drew important distinctions between scold and gossip. The words were by no means equivalents.

Unlike talking about one's neighbors, scolding was a chronic, legally actionable offense; and the connotations of shrew varied from mild to damning. In Brathwait's Essaies upon the five senses (1619), a scold "goes weekly a catter-wauling, where shee spoiles their spice-cup'd gossiping with her tart-tongued calletting." Whatever those gossips are up to, the scold is wrong to spoil it. Such a distinction suggests that women had certain rights of assembly-despite all the injunctions that women should stay indoors, avoid all gadding, and strive for silence. Traveler Emmanuel Van Meteren marveled that Englishwomen spent so much time visiting their friends and keeping company, conversing with their equals (whom they term gossips) and their neighbours, and making merry with them at child-births, christenings, churchings and funerals; and all this with the permission and knowledge of their husbands, as such was the custom.

Daniel Rogers warned husbands that they would be foolish to forbid their wives to attend gossipings and even advised them to give wives money "to bestow upon the meetings and lawfull merriments of their kind, which it were a poore thing for a husband curiously to enquire after." Robert Cawdrey urged moderation rather than abstinence: gossips should meet only as often as "the law of good neighbourhood doth require." John Stephens's character "A Gossip" predictably conflates a woman's volubility and mobility with sexual and bodily incontinence.

Her knowledge is her speech; the motive, her tongue; and the reason is her tongue also: but the subject of her eloquence is her neighbours wife, and her husband, or the neighbours wife and husband both. Shee is the mirth of marriages, and publicke meetings .... Shee carries her bladder in her braine, that is full; her braine in her tongues end, that shee empties .... Shee emulates a Lawyer in riding the circuite, and therefore she keeps a circuit in, or out of her own liberties: striving to be both one of the judges, Jury, and false witnesses: that is her freedom only, to censure .... Her truth is, to make truths and tales convertibles: tales be her substance, her conceit, her vengeance, reconcilements, and discourse .... If she railes against whoredom it savours not of devotion; for she is only married to escape the like scandall; from the doore outward.

The irony, of course, is that the author rails in the catty tones of a censorious neighbor. Despite the formulaic hostility in this character, one may glimpse a shadow portrait of a neighbor and a neighborhood. Like neighbor, the term gossip implies a relationship between peers. Always on hand for disputes and interventions, she also serves as a chief relayer of news and knowledge within the community. As the sarcastic phrase "one of the judges" indicates, she operates as an informal social arbiter. Ironically, it is precisely her narrative skill that qualifies her for this role. No matter how caustically "tittle tattle" was scorned, gossip "gave women a particular standing in neighbourhood social relations," as Gowing puts it. "Telling stories and judging morals made women the brokers of moral reputation."

While Stephens derides his gossip for gadding and tattling, he fails to suppress an uncomfortable social fact: such women can never be excluded from the crucial labor of maintaining social order. Pamphleteers and playwrights devoted much energy to trivializing women's talk at gossipings, betraying their fear that the effects on men's reputations could be far from trivial. In a merry meeting in Thomas Deloney's Thomas of Reading, some gossips "talkt of their husbands' frowardnes, some shewed their maids sluttishnes, othersome deciphered the costliness of their garments, some told many tales of their neighbors." Some jest gossips are two-faced, greedy, and leaky, such as those in Middleton's Chaste Maid in Cheapside. Others are almost witchlike.

The author of The Gossips Greeting (1620) rants against "the proud, peevish, paultry, pernicious shee-pot companions, those curious, careless, crafty, carping curtizanicall Gossips ... dangerous as hell, / None of you beare a modest womans mind / You do infect even with your smell." These representations must be read alongside gossips' texts that are more nuanced and altogether less bilious. Samuel Rowlands's best-selling Tis Merry When Gossips Meet (1602) and A Whole Crew of Kind Gossips (1609) painted alehouse meetings with a mix of humorous voyeurism, mild satire, and unusually candid social realism. In the first pamphlet a wife and widow give a maid fairly standard advice about men and marriage. The widow buys them rounds with an evident pride in her ability to pay, providing a strong contrast to the many jests in which drunken men cheat the hostess.

Satire is directed largely at the widow, who gets tipsy and garrulous. But for the most part, the pamphlet leaves the impression that it offered readers a glimpse of women indulging in a merry pastime that formed an important and familiar part of neighborhood socializing. To repeat Wrightson's argument, the ideal of "good neighborhood" required everyone to accept neighbors "as a reference group in matters of behavior and to promote harmonious relations among them." How could a woman fulfill this obligation without asking, "What news?" The surprising answer is that she couldn't. What we now call gossip was, in fact, essential to being a good neighbor, and talking about neighbors and strangers was not considered the prelude to scolding or near kin to slander. The obligation of neighborhood made constant comment not only normative but a prime regulating device.

To use Merry Wives as an example, the Windsor wives' censure of Falstaff and gossip about Ford initiates action that will eventually involve their neighbors in neutralizing the threats to the common peace posed by a sexual adventurer and a horn-mad husband. Their joint consultation and campaign of mockery lie firmly in the bounds of "good neighborhood." Censorious gossip "could be an effective informal method of control: it indicated community disapproval, and shamed its subject. If the subject of gossip did not stop the behavior, at least everyone else knew what to think about it." Gossip, defined this way, could maintain and reiterate social boundaries. Fueled by curiosity and pleasure in ridicule, gossip also primed audiences to recognize the more cutting forms of wit and the aesthetically engineered moral judgment known as satire.

Proficiency at this narrative form, so often salted with jests and proverbs, promoted rhetorical efficacy in life and art, while skill at telling believable stories about one's life and neighbors held much weight in the courtroom and on the streets. Gossip was not always conservative in effect. By asking "What news?" women also had a chance to learn about and talk over events in the larger world, out of the hearing of husbands, fathers, and masters. According to historian Steve Hindle, gossip is both a "female subculture" and a "formative stage in the development of 'public opinion' over a whole range of issues, local and national, private and public, personal and political. To ignore gossip is to ignore one of the few channels of participation in this 'public sphere' that was open to women."

Gatherings during working time or in leisure moments, such as christenings, may have given women a place in which to articulate opinions and to plan for common action, such as the many enclosure protests, grain riots, and religious disputes in which they participated. Some fictional gossips poach eagerly on male discourses supposedly closed to them, such as biblical interpretation, the worth of stage plays, and the fate of kings. In The gospelles of dystaves (c. 1510) a group of women meets secretly to hear a new kind of preaching by "apostles" named Dame Hengtyne and Dame Abunde, while a male scholar transcribes. Their chat mixes homely proverbs and bawdy laughter, interspersed with more serious challenges to religious teachings about women's subjection.

While the pamphlet obviously satirizes ignorant and unruly women, it also suggests that women did talk together about what they heard in church and that they were given to interpreting biblical passages in favor of women's interests. Female association could be dangerous to the state: the weird sisters of Macbeth carp about their neighbors, crack jokes, practice riddling prophecy, and rearrange Scottish history. Like gossips in their cups, they "scorn male power" while "their words and bodies mock rigorous boundaries and make sport of fixed positions. " In The Staple of News, Jonson attempts to silence and discipline unruly women in his audiences by presenting caricatures of neighborhood gossips.

Underlining the close association between the juries of the threshold and the theater, Tattle, Mirth, Censure, and Expectation boldly invade the stage with their stools, sitting down to cavil about the actors and the sweaty playwright, forming a jury of women who judge a play together as if they were judging gossip and scandal at home. Despite the satire, Jonson casts them as the prime producers and consumers of news and rumors; he cannot help but make them sharp-eyed judges of the staple, which commodifies word of mouth" by printing it. Occasionally gossips are painted as resourceful and clever. In Dekker and Webster's Westward Hal, citizen wives furnish themselves "a commodity of laughter" by leading their jealous husbands and eager suitors on a wild-goose chase up the Thames.

As in Merry Wives, this pleasure carries a risk. When they plot to scare their husbands with the prospect of horns and turn the tables on their arrogant suitors, one wife warns the others that they must deflect any resulting slanders using shrewd foresight: tho we are merry, let's not be mad: ... It were better we should laugh at these popin-Jayes, then live in feare of their prating tongues: tho we lie all night out of the Citty, they shall not finde country wenches of us: but since we ha[ve] brought em thus far into a fooles Paradice, leave em int: the Jest shall be a stock to maintain us and our pewfellowes in laughing at christning, cryings out, and upsittings the twelvemonth.

Similar scenes of female complicity are rooted in the social reality of women neighbors and gossips who rely heavily on each other's judgment in matters sexual and romantic. Such interdependence was especially important for unmarried women. Comedies featuring maids satirizing suitors (like Portia and Nerissa in The Merchant of Venice) or coolly ranking types of men (like Franck and Clora in Fletcher's The Captain and Celia and Rosalind in As You Like It) probably did stoke masculine anxieties about patriarchy's vulnerability to the desires of women. On the other hand, the very same scenes may have delighted women or taught them sophisticated new ways to squelch unwanted suitors.

The antimasculinist satire and complaint that fill gossips' literature function in a distinctive way in Margaret Cavendish's Convent of Pleasure, which virtually reproduces passages from gossips' literature and from women's tirades in controversy pamphlets. Poor women meet in the street to moan about the flaws of their husbands, which include wife beating, heavy drinking, and gambling away the household funds. Other scenes show the terrors of childbed and the persecution of a gentlewoman threatened with rape by a married man whose proposals she rejects. Neighbors and friends cannot stop rapine suitors or worthless husbands in this dystopia; so Cavendish creates a gender retreat that takes female complaint seriously, dedicating her earthly paradise to women's association, education, and delight: a high-toned gossips' feast.”

- Pamela Allen Brown, “Ale and Female: Gossips as Players, Alehouse as Theater.” in Better a Shrew than a Sheep: Women, Drama, and the Culture of Jest in Early Modern England

Church of Seiros name etymology:

Wow, this was a demanding one to do. In general, most the forenames in the Church have a connection to saints or figures from the Abrahamic religions, while the surnames are similar to the names in the country they're originally from. For the green haired gang, the origins of their names come from Egyptian, Greek and Irish mythology

Sothis-

The Greek name for the Egyptian goddess Sopdet, the personification of the star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Sopdet was related to the annual floods and was said to be a guide for deceased Pharaohs through the underworld, and later seen as a mother figure

Rhea-

"flowing", the name of the wife of Kronos, lord of time, and the mother of the first 6 Olympian gods in Greek mythology. In Roman mythology, a woman named Rhea Silvia was the mother of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Seiros-

derived from 'Seirios', meaning "scorching" in Greek. An alternative name for the star Sirius

Seteth-

may originate from Seth, meaning "placed" or "appointed" in Hebrew. The third named son of Adam and Eve and ancestor of Noah. Also the name of an Egyptian god of deserts, storms, disorder and violence, and Isis (who was previously Sopdet) plays an important role in his most important myth. It's also very similar to the Egyptian goddess Satis, an alternative spelling of which is 'Setet'. She was often conflated with Sopdet, and was a goddess of war, hunting and fertility, as well as a protector of the southern border

Cichol-

the earliest mentioned Fomorian in Irish mythology, monstrous, hostile beings that invaded Ireland from the sea and enemies of the first settlers. Cichol is said to be the leader of the Fomorians, and his followers survived for 200 years by fishing and fowling. His epithet (Gricenchos) roughly translates to 'of withered feet'

Flayn-

could come from Flann, meaning "red" in Irish Gaelic. Generally used as a masculine name and a friendly, cheerful nickname. May also be related to the name Finn, the name of the giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill, more commonly known as Finn McCool (a connection to Macuil)

Cethleann-

another of the Fomorians. She was a prophetess and foresaw her husband's death in battle. She also managed to wound the Dagda (Irish Zeus) with a projectile in said battle. She was known as 'Cethlenn of the Crooked Teeth'

Manuela Casagranda-

Manuela: a feminine form of Manuel, originating from Emmanuel meaning "god is with us".

Casagranda: alternative spelling of Casagrande, meaning "big house" (probably meant to be a link to the Mittelfrank Opera House)

Hanneman Von Essar-

Hanneman: a German name that comes from the Hanne, which is a diminutive of Johanne which has roots in John (why can names not be simple), meaning "YHWH is gracious". John is the name of the man who baptised Jesus and also the Apostle who wrote the fourth gospel and Revelations in the Bible. Also an Irish surname, stemming from O'Hannagain, which is derived from the word 'Annadh' meaning "delay". Edit: I found out that there is a Hindu god called Hanuman, who is seen as a symbol of devotion, strength, intelligence and selflessness.

Essar: derived from Isolde, the wife of Tristan in Arthurian legends, or the word 'ishild' in German, meaning "ice battle". I'm not sure if the names are connected, but there's also a Turkish name, 'Eser', meaning " product, achievement". Also sounds a bit like essay

Catherine/Cassandra Rubens Charon-

Catherine: Originally comes from the name of the Greek goddess of magic, Hecate (Hekaterine ->Aikaterine -> Katherine), but in the Christian era the meaning became "pure". Catherine is one of the great martyrs of Christianity, and the Emperor attempted to put her to death multiple times and failed each time until she accepted it herself. In that time she converted every person who met her to Christianity

Cassandra: from the Greek word meaning "to excel, to shine". In Greek myth she was a Trojan princess who was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but was cursed so no one would believe her prophecies when she spurned his advances

Rubens: Portuguese form of Reuben, meaning "behold, a son" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament Reuben was the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel and was part of the plot to kill his brother Joseph, but tried to rescue him.

Charon: translates to "fierce brightness", the ferryman of the underworld in Greek mythology who took the souls of the dead across the Acheron river. (Could be a link to Catherine's role as a Knight of Seiros, delivering justice(?))

Shamir Nevrand-

Shamir: a masculine Arabic name with multiple meanings, like "sharp thorn, flint", "precious stone", "sentinel". Comes from the Hebrew verb 'shamar' meaning "to guard". A material that King Solomon used to cut the stones to build the temple in Jerusalem

Nevrand: An alternate spelling of Nevra, the Turkish form of Nawra meaning "flower, blossom" in Arabic

Cyril-

a version of the Greek name 'Kyrillos', meaning "lordly, masterful". The name was borne by many important saints in Christianity

Gilbert Pronislav/Gustave Eddie Dominic-

Gilbert: "bright pledge", derived from the Germanic elements 'gisil', meaning "pledge, hostage" and 'beraht', meaning "bright". The name of a 12th century saint who founded the religious order of the Gilbertines

Gustave: French form of Gustav, which possibly means "staff of the Geats/Goths/Gods", and has roots in an old Norse name, Gautstafr. Could also be from the Slavic name Gostislav, meaning "glorious guest". Borne by many Swedish kings

(Also, Gustave Gilbert was an American psychologist who attempted to observe high-ranking Nazi officials during the Nuremberg trials)

Eddie: Diminutive of Edward, meaning "rich guard". A name given to many Anglo-Saxon kings, the last of which was canonised as At Edward the Confessor, patron saint of kings, difficult marriages, separated spouses and the British Royal Family. He was portrayed as a pious man

Pronislav: an alternate spelling of Bronislav, which is the Russian/Czech form of Branislav and means "warrior" or "defender of glory"

Jeritza Von Hrym/Emile Von Bartels-

Jeritza: I can't find any concrete meaning for this one, so I'll have to go off similar names instead (if anyone knows the real etymology, let me know). First is Yaritza, a feminine Spanish name that means "little butterfly", but I don't think this is very likely. Another name it could derive from is Jericho, a city in Israel mentioned many times in the Old Testament; while the meaning is unknown, it could stem from the Hebrew words yareach, "moon", or reyach, "fragment". There's also the possibility that it's related to the name George, meaning "farmer, earthworker", as farmers tend to use scythes. I suppose it's just as enigmatic as Jeritza himself

Emile: from the Roman name Aemilius, meaning "rival"

Hrym: From Thrym, a jötun in Norse mythology who stole Thor's hammer and planned to extort the gods into giving him the goddess Freya as his wife. He was slain by Thor dressed as Freya (best Norse myth, go read it)

Bartels: a short form of Bartholomew, meaning "son of Talmai". Talmai comes from the Hebrew word for "furrow", or is a Hebrew version of Ptolemy. Ptolemy was a mathematician, geographer and astronomer who proposed that the earth went round the sun, but it also means "war" (according to a source I found)

Byleth Eisner-

Byleth: Beleth was the king of hell in demonology, and the commander of 85 legions of demons. They ride a pale horse and all kinds of music is heard near them, and they were said to be first conjured by Noah's son to help him write a book on mathematics. Beleth is said to look fierce when first summoned to test the courage of the summoner, and one book says that the summoner should wear a silver ring on their middle finger on their left hand to pay respects to them. They had no specific gender (as far as I'm aware) and are also considered a demon of love and lust

Eisner: a German/Jewish occupational name for and ironmonger (the chemical symbol of which is Fe)

Jeralt Reus Eisner-

Jeralt: "ruler of the spear", a variant of Gerald (not really much else to say. Straight to the point, just like the man himself)

Reus: "giant" in Modern Dutch. One source also claims that it roughly translates to "the Russian" and was given to people who had travelled far away from there, but how true this is I'm not sure

‘Portrait of Emmanuel Chabrier’ as painted by Eduouard Manet (1832-83). Chabrier (1841-94) was a government lawyer who wrote music in his spare time, that might be demeaning were the music he wrote inconsequential. As it was he modernised french music and opened the door to younger composers like Debussy Ravel and Eric Satie. Read more about him here.

“Desiderava tutto e doveva subito disfarsene, denaro gettato, donne lasciate, oggetti perduti…”: Drieu La Rochelle, lo scrittore al veleno

L’homme couvert de femmes è il suo esordio. Nella vita come nel romanzo. Letteralmente coperto di donne fino al punto di asfissiare la propria inquietudine esistenziale. Invano. Farsi divorare dalle donne come un Orfeo nero di malinconia e di simpatie politiche, segnate più dal nichilismo che da un concreto progetto di città. Invano. Nessuna progettualità vera, concreta, ma solo una questione di stile come per un dandy che si vergogna di non essere fino in fondo quel guerriero che sente fremere dentro sé.

Uno stile, quello fascista, su cui hanno scritto acute analisi Armin Mohler, Tarmo Kunnas e George L. Mosse, una sorta di visione onirica che accomunò tanta intellettualità europea tra le due guerre. Un sogno, tra slancio e delirio. Pierre Drieu La Rochelle fu tanto incarnazione esemplare di quello stile quanto preda perfetta del delirio che ne conseguì. Fu, il suo, un talento letterario tra i più puri di quell’estetica della politica che pensò di colmare con iniezioni di volontà di potenza il profondissimo vuoto scavato dalle trincee dentro l’anima di decine di migliaia di giovani catapultatisi da aspiranti artisti e scrittori nella fornace del fronte bellico. Tutto esplose e si consumò tra 1914 e 1918. Il resto fu fuoco fatuo.

Al cospetto di Drieu la gran parte della schiera dei “maledetti” annoverati ufficialmente come tali nelle antologie di letteratura francese rischia di scomparire. C’è ben poca maniera nella prosa di Drieu. Nitida e tagliente di precisione, la sua scrittura bordeggia il nulla senza volerlo, anzi cercando di evitarlo o comunque di attraversarlo tramite la consistenza di corpi e di cose, di donne e di uomini, di natura. È un condannato che interiormente si compiace assai meno di quanto possa apparire dalle foto che lo ritraggono, con cui cerca di nascondersi, atteggiandosi a dandy fuori tempo massimo. L’entre-deux-guerres non è tempo da dandy, infatti, semmai da nichilisti attivi, come ben comprese Hannah Arendt chiamata a tirare le somme di quell’epoca incastrata fra due guerre mondiali. Si capisce la vera anima di Drieu solo seguendolo nell’intera sua produzione, soprattutto nel diario, negli epistolari e in alcuni romanzi come L’homme à cheval, pubblicato nel 1943 da Gallimard. È questo uno dei romanzi più esplicitamente allegorici dello scrittore francese. Vi si coglie immediatamente quella tensione tra l’azione ed una sua contemplazione eccitata. La medesima che dilaniò la vita di Drieu nei ventisette anni successivi alla fine della Grande guerra.

Come in questo e in altri romanzi il lettore di oggi può apprendere moltissimo sullo stato d’animo dell’intellettuale europeo uscito dalle trincee nel 1918, sopravvissuto nel corpo, ma morto dentro, comunque orrendamente mutilato nello spirito. Forse ancor meglio, o peggio: soffocato, a corto d’ossigeno, di linfa vitale. In cerca di un’adrenalina per il cuore e per la mente che in tempi di pace non potrà mai essere di entità e potenza paragonabili a quella scaricata nelle vene e tra i nervi in tempi di guerra. Un’orfanità che sarà anche di Yukio Mishima, dall’altra parte del globo, alla conclusione della seconda guerra mondiale, in quel 1945 che il 15 di marzo aveva registrato il mesto addio di Drieu, suicida in modo grigio e piccolo borghese, dopo due tentativi falliti nell’agosto dell’anno precedente: staccato il tubo del gas, ingerita una dose letale di fenobarbital, viene ritrovato il giorno dopo dalla sua cuoca seduto in cucina, morto, impietrito vicino al lavandino. Una fine che rivela quel fondo patetico che trovi tra le pagine di molti suoi romanzi, nel diario, nel carteggio. Qualcosa di effeminato e di infantile circola velenoso nella tempra per altri versi virile e saggia di Drieu.

Nel 1963 il regista Louis Malle fu l’autore di una riuscita trasposizione cinematografica di Fuoco fatuo, romanzo pubblicato nel 1931. Il protagonista della storia narrata da Drieu è l’amico Jacques Rigaut, scrittore dadaista suicidatosi nel 1929, a trent’anni, come si era da tempo ripromesso di fare, tanto da aver preso in precedenza le misure con un righello in modo tale da esser sicuro che la pallottola gli trapassasse il cuore. Nella pellicola del 1963 Rigaut, alter ego di Drieu, sua persistente musa sfidante, viene letteralmente incarnato da un bravissimo Maurice Ronet, affiancato da un’altera e melanconica Jeanne Moreau. Il tutto accompagnato dalla musica di Erik Satie, a completare la perfezione di quel film. A proposito di questa sua opera Malle ebbe a dire che il suicidio del protagonista poteva essere spiegato anche nei termini di un «rifiuto di diventare adulto […]. Non che non possa farlo, ma ha stabilito che non gli interessa».

Rifiuto di crescere, certo; ma c’è anche un irrefrenabile cupio dissolvi che, alle origini della nostra èra cristiana, troviamo in san Paolo, per il quale una tale espressione non significava affatto desiderio di morire, semmai di vivere pienamente, sciogliendosi dal corpo per essere con Cristo. Nel secolo in cui fresco era l’annuncio della morte di Dio il rovesciamento di significato di quell’espressione non poteva essere che totale: desiderio di operare il disfacimento di se stessi per consegnarsi sbriciolato nelle braccia del nulla. Autodistruggersi, ridursi a niente, tornare all’origine cava che nulla dice, nulla spiega, tutto risucchia. Non c’è senso, ma almeno sicuro è l’approdo al silenzio eterno della morte. Cessa così il brusio molesto di chi ostenta noncuranza nel vivere, il ticchettio infernale di un tempo sfrenato e vertiginoso perché non sai trovargli né capo né coda. Così ci precipiti dentro. Meglio allora levar la mano su di sé per assicurarsi la prima notte di quiete.

Emmanuel Berl ci ha consegnato questo ricordo di Drieu, di cui era stato per lungo tempo amico e confidente: «Avido e disgustato, postulante e recalcitrante, desiderava tutto e doveva subito disfarsene, denaro gettato, donne lasciate, oggetti perduti… Come se volesse guadagnare solo per avere più cose da perdere». Drieu fu dunque scrittore colpito in pieno da una maledizione autentica, imperdonabile e inassolvibile. La maledizione come macigno che sfregia, altro che posa compiaciuta per mascherarsi da icona sublimata! Quando è davvero così, quando t’imbatti nell’artista affetto da maleficio, la prima tentazione è scansarsi, non certo affiggere un poster in camera e sognare cavalcate con valchirie. Chi avidamente compulsa le testimonianze lasciate da un maledetto espone se stesso a forti rischi. La reazione del lettore leale e genuino è di fastidio acuto, affiora un retrogusto amaro, un’acidità che irrita mente e cuore e rischia di corrodere entrambi. Lettura velenosa, quella di Drieu, che però mi spiega perché all’artista nichilista si perdona quel che non si può concedere al nichilista ordinario, di rango comune, privo di un qualche barlume di genio creativo, di minimo talento generativo.

L’artista nichilista è la migliore contestazione del nichilismo. Per il fatto stesso che crea, che dà vita a qualcosa che aspira all’eterno, egli nega la negazione che canta in quanto artista. L’artista è artefice che mima il Creatore, può farlo in modo furioso, con l’intento iconoclasta del negatore e del barbaro distruttore, ma nell’atto di dar forma egli fornisce la più perentoria ed inequivocabile delle confutazioni. L’arte è di per sé creazione e, come tale, il mezzo contraddice il contenuto, almeno fino a quando la forma non si conformi del tutto al contenuto. Se però il contenuto è distruzione, a forza di essere negazione per la negazione, esaltazione dionisiaca quando Dioniso è stato già da tempo sbranato, così che non ci sono nemmeno più binari da cui deragliare sensi peraltro ormai ineducabili, ebbene, quando il contenuto è così ridotto, la forma finisce per essere anch’essa distrutta ed ecco che il nichilismo si mangia pure l’arte e l’afasia è completa, totale. L’arte che si fa concetto esogeno, tanto esterno da risultare estraneo. L’opera d’arte come zombie, come manichino in balia del critico e del direttore museale, dei loro allestimenti, delle loro didascalie. Siamo allo zenith del nichilismo.

La resistenza sta nel ribadire quell’adesione al reale da cui Drieu, come molti altri esponenti della cultura europea novecentesca, tragicamente si congedarono. Nel suo sommesso e mediocre suicidio si rispecchia la voragine di senso dentro cui un’intera civiltà è precipitata tra il 1914 e il 1945. Un’Europa in completa confusione, che rifiuta se stessa e si suicida, proprio come Drieu. Urgono artefici di bellezze che rinnovino di forme classiche e contenuti fertili un continente che da vecchio s’è fatto decrepito e sterile.
