#The quote is so fitting agdjabfjdb#I love this concept and the iteration of it they are and this piece as visual representation#And I absolutely adore the blood on Jack. The implications abfkwnfjfj#Jack Vessalius#Lacie Baskerville#Jack and Lacie#They're everything to me#One of the all-time dynamics ever in anything. I never get tired of them *sigh*#art#quote: other

Le diverse traduzioni di Odi et Amo❤️🔥
Odi et amo quare id faciam, fortezza requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.
Non sono state poche le difficoltà riscontrate nella traduzione, a cui hanno lavorato numerosi poeti e importanti latinisti.
Ne voglio citare alcune:
La seguente traduzione rispetta il più possibile il significato del carme:
"Odio ed amo. Perché lo faccia, mi chiedi forse./ Non lo so, ma sento che succede e mi struggo".
Quella di Giovanni Pascoli è invece rispettosa della metrica catulliana:
"L'odio e l'adoro. Perché ciò faccia, se forse mi chiedi,/ io, non so: ben so tutta pena che n'ho".
Quasimodo offre una traduzione più letterale e moderna rispetto a Pascoli:
"Odio e amo. Forse chiederai come sia possibile, non so, ma è proprio così e mi tormento"
Il latinista Francesco Della Corte, nella sua traduzione, pone l'accento sul significato etimologico del verbo excrucior:
"Odio e amo. Forse mi chiedi come io faccia. Non so, ma sento che questo mi accade: qui è la mia croce".
Stefano Benni, invece, propone una simpatica traduzione che cerca di mescolare italiano e napoletano, in rima:
"Odio e amo: / fusse che chiedi/ comme faccio? / nunn 'o ssaccio / ma lo faccio / e mme sent' 'nu straccio!"
Qual' è la vostra preferita?
#The neapolitan one sounds so well I love it!!!#Let's see if I find more poems translated that way#Comparing translations is one of my favourite things. I love this post haha#Jack and Lacie#Jack Vessalius#quote: other#This is one of the basic lines I think of when I see people either/or-ing Jack's feelings for Lacie and thus simplifying them#Like. This is like. One of THE lines in literature. This is the very very basic stuff#Western literature has this poem as one of its cornerstones#How the hell are you surprised by or can't you understand that it's both and it must be both? It's been here for millenia *sighs*#Catullus my beloved#I think I'll look for Stefano Benni because I truly loved that take haha#Usually not super into neapoletan translations but this one gives such a Catullus air#Some of his other poems would slap in this style#I talk too much#I just realised I've kinda doxxed myself a bit

#If I recall correctly this is a detail from a dress for... Virginia Woolf maybe?#And if I'm not mistaken it also had teardrops/water along the skirt#which makes the piece even more reminiscent of Lacie to me#Picture: Lacie#Picture#I love her so much

#So many Pandora Hearts characters#But this in the 'air' it has (beyond the plain suicidal ideation) is Jack and Oz the most I'd say#pulling their heads closer to the gun#Not wanting to die or disappear as is but doing *gestures vaguely* all that and existing as they do#I love that aspect of them so much#And it's so juicy that parallel between them#I truly don't think this fits entirely Lacie or Elliot or Vincent or Leo or Break as much as it fits Jack and Oz in the way it's written#Jack Vessalius#Oz Vessalius#Jack and Oz

"Those who come to the Abyss are all the same. They're all desperate to get something back. But everyone goes mad partway."
Close ups:
#Will of the Abyss#I love the colour palette here applied to her#She's usually more white/soft violet and the red works so well with the white#When just aesthetically but I love how it brings to mind the other Alice and the rabbits and the Children of Misfortune#and that one scene with Kevin and blood in general and overall her more deranged side instead of the most ethereal#Still otherworldly. Still alienated and weird. But the ruthless side of it. The devastating side of it#Instead of the side that looks like golden dust dancing in a beam of light one can never grasp#It brings to mind also Lacie dancing under the red blood rain#art#I talk too much

do you all see my vision here
#Jack—Vincent—Oswald—Gilbert#Vincent is between liar and in denial and Oswald is in denial and also oblivious and so is Gil I'd say#In general this is very Pandora Hearts#Pandora Hearts#Picture#Oh! Arthur too! How could I forget about him!

“If I had become a lake… A mirror is all surface but a lake has depths. I would have drawn her in, undine or water nymph, alive inside me.”
— Gregory Orr, excerpt of When I First Saw
#Jack and Lacie#quote#Have I reblogged this already on my main?#This is one of the most Jack and Lacie lines I've ever encountered I think

I can't read people's opinions on PH for ten minutes straight without feeling a little sick. People not only read with their asses, but also clearly don't care about translations
#Some things are so *that one picture of Ben Affleck smoking done with life*#I love discussing with people who disagree with me but most people with PH takes are beyond that#It's like. I don't know. There's nothing even interesting about the way I think you're wrong#(and often *know* you're wrong and can quote why)#Not even in the way you're expressing it#I can take nothing out of this other than some sort of indignation and a desire for this to be erased from your mind lol don't touch it#It makes me feel so mean and I try not to be but wow. Wow. The loneliness is everending#It also makes me think many many times that people must be very simple in feelings or dynamics or whatever#Anyway#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#But I wanted to whine a little sorry haha#Leigh number 1 Jack Hater most important person ever I love you so much you do this right lol#Translations are important you guys#Check and compare translations even between several languages and see how some expressions or words actually work in the original language#Ahfkabfkanfjfkjf

So annoying that you can't block people on sideblogs
#I'm so sick of people coming here reblogging the same things I reblog sneakily#and tagging the same characters I tag without once reblogging directly from me as if they were#It's like. Okay. You didn't get one single original thought/interpretation#and didn't even do the polite thing of reblogging a couple times from me#I don't know I used to not care#But since that one time in which a rp blog copied even some of my tag-comments it irks me and lowkey creeps me out what can I say#Go away. Create a personality for yourself please. Curate your interpretation of the characters yourself#Read and analyse and select texts and images yourself#It seems dumb but I spend a lot of time doing so for the stuff I reblog and there's often a lot of thoughts#behind why I reblog something tagging something or someone and not anyone else#Often I read the texts and look for them on tumblr on purpose because I want them here#Same with pictures. Sometime so see them or find them in a set and I have to google lens and track them to reblog them here specifically#And yeah often the reblog are very particular to how I read or view characters dynamics and situations#And of course we're all following and reblogging from each other#But when someone who doesn't follow or reblog from me gets sloppy and likes something to unlike it instantly#And I go to their blog and their reblog are basically chronologically what I have reblogged#To the point I can tell which tag they've checked and which one they checked prior to that one#That irks me. Go trip on a peeble. Go make your own blog. It's like copying down to the t someone else's scrapbook#with a sidedish of copying homework I guess. And I don't know. It's like... Does it even mean anything to you?#It does for me because I think of this stuff. I'm fond of this blog and my reblogs for that reason#What does it mean for you if you just reblog pretty much everything in order? Idk it's silly but it really irks me#I find it so impolite and insincere. And it gives me flashbacks of that one person who copied everything 1:1 down to the comments#That was nuts it creeped me out so much#as if they were doing something ilegal* I didn't notice I had run out of space#My queue doesn't run constantly because I think a lot about what to tag and in which order. It's not casual. Posts are linked together#And every tag is well thought through and chosen and often I have half an essay which I don't always write down out of laziness#But I always *want* to. That's why my queue is so often stopped. I have several thousand of posts queued and in drafts#And yet my queue is so slow because I think a lot about what to post tagging what in which order#and have to decide whether or not to write the half essay I have justifying my decision#Which takes me almost or + than 1 hour to write each time bc I must be precise and brief for the tags to fit + often I want to quote things

is that what you wanted, daughter of babylon?
#This piece is so cool. I love the hauntingly threatening presence of Miranda#When I see her and Oswald's head I'm always reminded of that one fragment in Malory and then Steinbeck#about the girl who wanted Lancelot's dead body and his head to kiss if she couldn't have him any other way#Miranda Barma#Oswald Baskerville#Jack Vessalius#art

“A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid anymore.”
— East of Eden, John Steinbeck

[...] the expression on her face was ageless, haunting, as though she possessed in her lithe body an old soul that could not die; centuries in time looked out from those two eyes, she had contemplated life so long it had become indifferent to her.
Daphne du Maurier, My Cousin Rachel, 1951
#Lacie Baskerville#vibes#A little bit the Will too. I love when they do that#Especially given the topic of loneliness weighting in both of them and the Will's appreciation for red eyes#quote: other

Grotesque
For PH Month's tragedy trio week day 3, prompt "Hair"
@phmonth @i-prefer-the-term-antihero
#I love this so so so much#The way Lacie was depicted here makes me go a little insane#She's beautiful and weird and ethereal and otherworldly and sickly and threatening and elegant and off-putting#All at the same time#As it should be with her#You can't tell if she's an apparition haunting Oswald or if she's just there herself still. As it should be when it comes to her#So good truly#Oswald Baskerville#Lacie Baskerville#Baskerville siblings#art
