Thinking about Gilbert (Giselbert) and his time as the representation of the Teutonic Knights.
Thinking about how representations like him, of military orders instead of duchies and kingdoms, were seen or treated as a servant of their orders, a servant of God.
Thinking about how Gilbert was expected to be their greatest warrior, their greatest follower, because he was "sent by God" to fulfill the Order's mission.
Thinking about how Gilbert's early introduction to love was through conflict; how he was rewarded when he excelled in battle, punished when he limped home crying.
Thinking about the budding animosity when he sees representation of kingdoms, towns, republics, etc. loved unconditionally by their people while Gilbert literally has to fight tooth and nail about it.
Thinking about the betrayal he feels when his efforts were eventually rewarded with banishment, and orders like him were later on apprehended and burned at stakes.
Thinking about his own mortality and existence, questioning why he couldn't die and if that meant he actually couldn't go to heaven.
Knighthood sure is rough.

complete and utter idiocy
Finished sewing my new coat~
A while back I saw Lucy Liu wear an Alice and Olivia coat on Elementary and I never got it out of my head so I made a dupe for myself (but with red lining because of course)!
Wool exterior, rayon challis lining.
Today, after 15 months of torment, displacement, and living in constant fear, my family and I find ourselves in an unbearably difficult situation. Life has become a daily struggle, and everything we once knew has turned to darkness. The impact of the genocidal war against Gaza has torn us apart, leaving us facing hunger, disease, and a deep sense of loss. Most devastating of all, my sister and I have been unable to attend school, robbing us of our dreams for a better future.
Now, as we prepare to return to northern Gaza, where our home once stood, we carry with us the immense weight of loss. Our home is destroyed, and the emotional and physical scars are deep. The pain is unbearable for my family and me, but despite it all, we have not lost hope. We still dare to dream of a brighter tomorrow—a future where we can rebuild what was taken from us. My personal dream is to continue my education and achieve the goals that have always been within my reach, but now it seems so far away.
However, the road to recovery is long and steep. The cost of rebuilding our lives is overwhelming. Everything we once relied on is either gone or too expensive to restore. The price of basic necessities—food, medicine, shelter—has skyrocketed. The infrastructure is shattered, and even getting the most basic supplies has become a daily challenge. The war has left us with nothing, and with the added financial strain, continuing our education feels impossible without help.
This is why I am reaching out. My family and I need your support now more than ever. We ask not for pity, but for your compassion, your prayers, and your belief in a brighter future for us. We need your help to lift us out of the darkness and give us a chance to rebuild. My sister and I can’t continue our studies without your assistance, and my family cannot start over without your support.

Pompeii. New discoveries
A bird of prey stands out in the upper part of the lararium. The raptor, which can probably be identified as an eagle, holds a palm branch in its claws. In the lower part, the scene consists of two snakes facing each other which frame an altar with a fluted circular shaft on which offerings are placed. From the left, it is possible to distinguish the following features: a pine cone, a raised element that supports an egg, and what appear to be a fig and a date. The background of the scene is filled with two bushes with lanceolate leaves and red and yellow berries on which three sparrows move about. Several interesting finds were discovered inside the niche: ritual objects, left as part of a last offering before the eruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79: an incense burner in achromatic clay with missing pieces dating from antiquity and a lamp, both displaying clear signs of burning. Laboratory analyses have made it possible to identify the remains of twigs of aromatic plants, while two parts of a dried fig were found behind the two objects. Two strips of coloured marble were discovered on the flat top of the altar together with a third element, presumably made of red marble, with the depiction of a face ascribable to the Dionysian world, probably a Silenus.
