Manuscript illumination depicting a lesbian couple kissing and a gay male couple embracing from the Moralized Bible of Vienna (1220s).

This illustration is one of the only explicit depictions of female homosexuality known from the medieval era.

*booktok voice* Do you want to read a gay story about two guys who speedrun enemies to lovers, go against their designed nature by being together, who become unstoppable fighting side by side to much dismay of the gods who created them? Do you want to see one of them eaten alive by the grief for his lover when he dies from a godsent sickness? A book about someone fighting so hard for a chance at eternal life that he doesn't notice he is throwing away the precious time he has got, filling it with agony? Well, in the  2100 BCE poem of Gilgamesh-

Have you ever considered that Matelda, the prototype of humanity that lives in the garden of Eden, exists in a perpetually unchanging, a-temporal, dimention of happiness which is the symmetrical opposite of guido, a non-man who lives in a perpetually unchanging, a-temporal, or maybe cyclical (which is still the opposite of christian linear time), dimention of torment and Matelda having never known sin doesn't need Christ the same but opposite way Guido's shepherdess is a celebration of carnal attraction free of sin which therefore diregards the figure of Christ. So Matelda is perfect happiness outside of Christ, she's that profane happiness which averroistic philosophy sought and that from a christian point of view is incomplete. Matelda in fact is in the garden of Eden, not in Heaven. So Matelda and Guido are the same and the opposite and also one because in a way Matelda is, through the shepherdess, Guido's creation. Also both Matelda and Guido baptized Dante but had to be left behind.

what's the deal with the (iirc) matelda/guido/john the baptist thing that i sometimes see you mention..?

the correspondance between guido and john the baptist was assigned by dante himself in vita nova, through a religious reinterpretation of the senhal (a sort of pseudonym) primavera given by guido to his beloved, giovanna, which dante interprets as prima verrà, "will come first", so like her namesake john (giovanni in italian) precedes and announces christ she's set to announce beatrice. this correspondance then reflects onto the women's respective poets (and eventually onto their works and lives), guido and the one he precedes and announces, dante (yes, dante basically compares himself to christ. most humble dante alighieri moment). as for matelda, she's a figure that appears in eden (purg xxviii) and her episode is described with references almost word for word to guido's in un boschetto trova' pasturella and especially fresca rosa novella, from where he picks the rhyme scheme primavera/rivera. these very explicit references are added to the fact that matelda quite literally precedes beatrice's arrival and immerses dante in the eunoe river to purify himself, so basically performing a baptism. i'll link a very good post by a beloved mutual here for more about matelda-guido-baptist (and -virgil) parallels here :3

sorry to all other ships but silverflint is absolutely unbeatable. the only ship that i can think of off the top of my head that actually gets ruined if it ever got consummated. they’re both obsessed with each other but wildly repressed about it at the same time. silver thinks that flint is controlling the weather with his mind once. silver at one point becomes meta aware of the fact that everyone that gets close to flint eventually fucking dies. this. does not deter him. they betray each other but are loyal about it. a scene of them killing a shark is the most nerve wrecking scene in the whole show but gets collectively called “shark date” by the fandom. flint. during all this. is gay
