Old town of Peníscola (Castelló, Valencian Country).
Overlooking the Mediterranean sea and coast, Peníscola is located on what used to be an island, now connected to the mainland through an isthmus. For further protection, it’s surrounded by a set of walls of Medieval origin, which were partially rebuilt in the Renaissance and later in the 18th century, in a way that parts of the three periods coexist.
At the very top, the Medieval castle rises 64 metres above the sea. It was first built in the 1100s, during the Islamic period. After being conquered by the Christians (Catalonia-Aragon), the Templar Knights rebuilt it  between the years 1294 and 1307 following the style of the castles in the Holy Land. In the early 1400s, the antipope Benedict XIII lived here and reformed some parts of the castle to turn it into a papal palace.

Templar battle fighting tactics
The Knights Templar had very particular battle fighting tactics making them very effective, as TV historian Tony McMahon discovers
The Knights Templar are widely regarded as a very driven group of warrior monks who exercised tight discipline and struck fear into the enemy. But what were their battle fighting tactics? And were they effective? One thing we do know is that they were a unique military proposition combining monk and soldier. They emerged just as a new order of monks, the Cistercians, were also launching. And the…

Sulisstuff explained!
Hello there! And welcome to my blog!
Tumblr media
I've been on Tumblr for over 6 years. In the past I've had several blogs with this one previously being a meme page for Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' miniseries Band of Brothers.
Now. I still love Band of Brothers, but I decided that I wanted to turn this blog into something more general.
So, why not get to know me a little?
In this post I'll discuss a few things:
Who I am
Where I'm from
What languages I speak
Fandoms I'm active in
My type of content
Well. You know the drill...
So, if you'd like to get to know me a little bit, read it below the cut!
PS. At the bottom you'll find a very heartwarming surprise : ')
Tumblr media
First of all:
This blog is NOT dedicated to the godess named Sulis OR to Aquae Sulis, known for the Roman baths.
My blogname is just an easy way of writing Suli’s stuff. Gotcha?
Suli’s stuff = sulisstuff
Yeah? Okay, good. You can go on.
Tumblr media
Soo, second of all:
What's my name?
My name is Suli.
It's not my actual name, but it's the name I'm comfortable with to put on the internet. So you can just call me Suli on this blog, even if you do actually know me ;)
Now, I mentioned Sulis and that my blogs name is just a version of Suli's stuff
But to those who are fan of James Cameron's Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water: I'm sorry. My name also doesn't have anything to do with Jake Sully's Na'vi name "Tsyeyk Suli"
I do absolutely love Avatar and I love the connection it has, but it's not based off of it.
Tumblr media
Where am I from?
I'm from the Netherlands. I was born and raised Dutch and I'm proud of it! (gekoloniseerd)
So, since I'm Dutch, I feel like I have to mention that the Dutch people seem to be known for their fondness of swearing and cursing.
And I do feel like I also have to mention that I'm no exception.
Like, not in the slightest. Sorry
Iykyk...
My blog won't be filled with swearwords though, but I also won't make sure that it isn't. So if you have a problem with swearwords, you should probably look elsewhere.
Still love you all <3
Tumblr media
What languages do I speak?
My first language is Dutch! I'm completely fluent and it's the language I speak on a daily basis.
My second language is English. I was not raised speaking English and I started taking English classes in school when I was about 12 years old. I consider myself pretty fluent in the language, but naturally I still make some mistakes as it is not my first language.
And after that I've had five years of German classes when I was in school, but I can't say I speak the language very well. I do understand it moderately though, but just don't ask me to translate it haha.
Tumblr media
What are my pronouns/preferences?
I was born as a female and I identify as a female, so my pronouns are she/her.
I'm straight, and not part of the LGBTQ+ community, but I love and support everyone to be who they are and I will not accept any form of racism or discrimination on my blog! People who comment negatively on those matters will be reported and blocked immediately. No hate on this blog, just love!
Tumblr media
What fandoms am I active in?
I'm active in several fandoms. Here are a few things listed that I absolutely love. Though you will see some stuff more regularly than others
Movies
Avatar
Avatar: The Way of Water
Dune
Series
Band of Brothers
The Witcher
Stranger Things
The Alienist
Knightfall
Reign
The Pacific
Currently watching: The Tudors (But I'm progressing very slowly because I never seem to have the concentration or motivation to finish a series. Sometimes I'm hooked and can't be "unhooked" for months but I still have to find that "hooked-button" for the Tudors)
Books
The Ranger's Apprentice / De Grijze Jager
Sports
Formula 1
Tumblr media
What type of content can be expected?
On this blog I will post just random stuff related to the fandoms I'm in.
I actually love to write and I've been writing stories since I was 10 years old, but I've never actually published them anywhere. And if I do write, it will only be in Dutch. I master the English language very well, but not well enough to actually write stories I will be satisfied with.
So, if people would like me to write anything for the things I listed above, I will surely try, but it has to be okay if it's only written in Dutch :)
Furthermore I will probably post memes and other content related to the things I love!
Tumblr media
Also, here's the heartwarming surprise I promised you. It’s the beautiful profile picture I created especially for this blog.
Gotta love Microsoft Paint.
We tried... Wef

SUBTEXT
so I've focused in on Perceval and Bors before, and I've done Perceval and Gender (for more on this specifically, see: Clothes Make The Man: Parzival Dressed and Undressed, Michael D. Amey) and did a whole comic that leaned into some subtext™ on temptation, but actually let's throw out the subtext! let's bring Augustine into this!!
Tumblr media
Perceval, de Troyes (trans. Burton Raffel)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
introduction to Confessions, Augustine (trans. Sarah Ruden)
so for perceval a knight is both the gender he wants to perform but also something that is expressly compared to god, and if god is a lover that seduces. well. does this not also apply to knights as well?
Tumblr media
Homosexuality in the Renaissance: Behavior, Identity, and Artistic Expression, James M. Saslow
and while galahad might be the obvious choice, I think perceval's relationship with bors during the grail quest narrative is more interesting. it's not god that transforms perceval, it's the sight of knights for the first time. something in here specifically is incredibly intriguing to me, but there's a different text I need to finish reading to fully form some thoughts on it.
Tumblr media
le Morte d’Arthur
and finally! tentatively. I think I might slowly start turning this idea I had a couple years back into a fully formed comic. we'll see! I had most of it blocked out, but halfway through reading augustine's confessions, I think was when perceval finally clicked for me as a character in a later narrative cycle setting. I think I might have to spend a lot of time doing some visual research first because my god I cannot consistently draw armor to save my life......back when I lived in new england, there was a museum with a wonderful medieval armor collection I could visit.....alas.........I will have to hit the books (literally, I have a collection of books on medieval armor but this is apparently the one thing I can't visualize properly in my imagination. save me, museum collections, you're my only hope)
