Now that Hallowen is near, I have decided to share an interesting book I have been reading in these weeks, its title is Toledo: La Ciudad de los Muertos (Toledo: The City of the Dead), writen by Ventura Leblic García. The topic is to divulge about the stories and death rites of people of the several cultures and religions which have inhabitated the city throughout history. I'll be sharing scans of the pages of the book through posts here on Tumblr if anyone it's curious about the topic. Here's the first set:

PART 1

Cover

Toledo: The City of the Dead

Ventura Leblic García

Covarrubias Editions

Backcover

Toledo is a city that the living and the dead share. It is a great historical necropolis. But do we really know our "neighbors"? Do we know where they "live"? Do we know the cultural and social environment in which their lives were spent? Do we know the culture of death in the different civilizations that inhabited the crag of Toledo? Carpetans, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews, Christians... their rites around death, beliefs, customs, the evolution of cemetery spaces... It is time to know what history has left us, trying to unravel the truth in the uncertainty of a tomb.

I hope this unsolicited ask is ok! do you have any fun and upbeat recommendations for music that you've loved over the last little while? <3

it absolutely is! i love getting asks tho i'm not always good at answering! upbeat music is something i can definitely do, tho (this was supposed to be short but i got carried away. all links are for youtube):

tour de francia, vetusta morla (big fan of this album as a whole but this is the most upbeat one. see also fuego and cuarteles de invierno)

the entirety of life in cartoon motion by mika is one of my go to upbeat albums (specifically: grace kelly, my interpretation)

è un'altra cosa, francesco gabbani (SO incredibly upbeat. i love this song)

canzone per l'estate, canzone del maggio and il pescatore, fabrizio de andré (ive been listening to in direzione ostinata e contraria a LOT lately. lyrics aren't always happy per se but they are upbeat. canzone per l'estate especially. also carlo martello ritorna dalla battaglia di poitiers is just fun)

non è per sempre, afterhours

restless legs, keuning (half of this album is slow and half isn't but i love it. couple others i like are ruptured, stuck here on earth)

planetary (go!) and summertime, my chemical romance (my sibling finally managed to get me to listen to more than 2 mcr songs and i like this album. definitely upbeat though more on the angry end. vibes are fun tho)

1983, and almost all of pop psychology by neon trees (except voices in the halls. that is NOT happy. not all of them are happy upbeat but try also helpless, girls and boys in school, animal, everybody talks)

me ne frego, achille lauro (domenica and bam bam twist also but the first is my favourite of his i think. very upbeat)

vuurwerk, camille (it's just fun)

milano good vibes, and sabbie mobili, mahmood (i like a lot of his stuff but it's not all as bouncy as i was going for for this list. though i do recommend inuyasha, ghettolimpo, il nilo nel naviglio, and uramaki)

halla varlden, wilmer x (there's accents in there but my keyboard won't type them)

il fine e la luna, eugenio in via di gioia

el mismo sol, álvaro soler

come mai, 883 and eccoti, maz pezzali

me voy, julieta venegas

hungriges herz, madsen

cutting myself off now because i can and will talk about music for hours but if you want any more feel free to ask! i have a LOT and i had to cut some out of this list cause it was getting too long

#neon answers #bendpace-blog #again feel free to send asks any time i had fun with this #this list is a little all over the place but hopefully there's a couple things you like in here! and if anyone has any recs as always id #love them. hopefully soon ill have enough time to go through them (currently low on free time)#neon talks music

was that álvaro rico spotted down at the shoreline of east hamptons main beach? must just be camilo montaner the twenty seven year old model, influencer and heir. whenever i hear sirenas by taburete it reminds me of them. they are known for being argumentative but they make up for that by being determined. they have been living in the hamptons for two days.

basic stats ;

⟶ full name: camilo hernán montaner de luna ⟶ nicknames: no nicknames, absolutely hates being called cam. the only thing he hates more than that is being called milo – you might as well just slap him in the face while you’re at it ⟶ three things he likes: finding new vegan recipes, music in spanish, enrique iglesias ⟶ three things he dislikes: people who ask too many questions, dirty fingernails, bad mannerisms ⟶ gender: cis male ⟶ height: 5 ‘ 9 ⟶ age: twenty seven ⟶ birthday: december 5, 1995 ⟶ zodiac: sagittarius sun, aquarius moon, scorpio ascendant ⟶ right handed or left handed: fully ambidextrous ⟶ eye color: baby blue ⟶ hair color: black ⟶ piercings and tattoos: no piercings, no tattoos ⟶ languages spoken: spanish ( native tongue ), italian, and english ⟶ sexuality / romantic orientation: homosexual / homoromantic ⟶ place of birth: barcelona, spain ⟶ last five songs listened to: en esta habitación by libido, no te preocupes por mi by leiva, testa tra le nuvole pt. 1 by alfa, manda una señal by maná, el perdedor by enrique iglesias ft. marco antonio solís ⟶ five aesthetics: jetting off somewhere because you’re bored, stress shopping, light blue eyes gazing into the sunset, getting up at 5 am for a daily morning jog, being the pickiest eater known to mankind ⟶ character inspo: ander muñoz from elite, isak valtersen from skam ( og skam ), brando pacitto from baby

background story ;

camilo was born to britta incanti and lorenzo montaner in barcelona, spain. his mother is an italian model and fashion designer who was miss italy in 1993, and runner up for miss universe in 1994, and his father is owner and heir of hotel and resort chains called montaner ( literally equivalent to hilton hotels ). needless to say, his family on both sides comes from a lot of money, and have pretty much bought into anything you can think of. gas companies, gastronomy business, electric, you name it, his family is somehow involved

camilo, being an only child, grew up with anything materialistic anyone could ever think of. all he had to do was point, and it was being handed to him without any type of questions. he was spoiled, practically born with a golden spoon in his mouth, in the public eye. his family was widely known in europe and also had business’ world wide, which meant he had a rather public life since he could remember

to anyone, his upbringing sounds like a wet dream, and in a way, it kind of was. i say ‘in a way’ because his life isn’t as picture perfect as everyone thinks it is. simply put, his parents were never really present. he grew up with the best help money could buy – nannies, butlers, personal chefs, maids, people who worked for his family and treated him like he was the last cup of water in the middle of the desert. he had it all, minus the people who were supposed to love him the most

they missed his birthdays, christmas, important holidays, things that any parent should be present for, they were never around. instead, he was always surrounded by people who were literally paid to care for him. he was never really held as a child, never hugged when he was sad or sick, and because of his rather cold upbringing, this made camilo an equally cold person

due to constantly being in the public eye, he became cynical and calculated. in his eyes, everything was a game. nothing was unattainable to him because of his hefty wallet and no one was genuinely worthy of his time. at least, this is what he grew up thinking

he grew up feeling an insane amount of pressure. despite his parents not being around, they always let him know that what the world thought of them, the idea people had of him, was everything. the way he looked and acted was all that mattered, and carrying this with him since he could remember was a lot to deal with

he quickly became obsessed with his physical appearance. what he wore, down from his shirt to his shoes, how his hair looked, how his skin appeared and his weight especially, became everything for him. camilo would rather die than go out wearing sweats or looking anything less than impeccable – he simply had to look his best or he wouldn’t go out at all

his earlier years consisted of traveling a lot. he lived in his mother’s hometown in the amalfi coast in italy for a few years, traveled back and forth to any country his heart desired, and would leave as soon as he grew bored with where he was staying at

by the time he’s fourteen, he decides to move to los angeles to start high school there, mostly so he could better his english, but also because his family had contacts there and he knew a few celebrities

this is how he meets his first ever boyfriend, dani, when he’s sixteen. truth be told, camilo wasn’t a fan of him at first. they were polar opposites and he considered dani to ‘not be at his level’. he doesn’t know how it happens, but he somehow makes his way into camilo’s cold ass heart, and soon enough, they begin to date. dani was someone camilo would have never considered, but he basically falls head over heels for him. he’s the first person who makes camilo feel less cynical, like he doesn’t have to be perfect or do everything so impeccably so. he makes him feel real, like he actually matters to someone and isn’t just a display case for the world to judge. simply put, he makes him feel things he never thought he would feel before, makes him see things from a completely different perspective

unfortunately, this romance is short lived when dani disappears one day, with no warning. camilo tries not to let it get to him, but he’s so hurt by this move, he ends up going to a boarding school in san francisco and finishes high school there, heading back to his hometown, barcelona, two days after his graduation

at this point, his trust issues are at an all time high. he has a very difficult time letting people in and mostly maintains superficial relationships with everyone, without much depth, or any depth at all, really

he basically becomes even more obsessed with his physical appearance, especially when he gets signed to a modeling agency by the time he’s nineteen. to camilo, the way he looks becomes everything to him, up to the point where it becomes unhealthy

he’s modeled for a few brands in the past before, but when he actually gets signed to an agency is when he starts to feel the pressure. being around his peers, for the first time in his life, he doesn’t feel like he’s above them. in fact, he feels inferior to them. some of the names are so big, that the importance of his last name doesn’t mean anything to them. never wanting to be below anyone, he starts working extra hard to make sure he’s on their level, or better than they are

! tws for eating disorders, fainting, hospitals and body dysphoria for the next four bullets, read with caution or skip over this if you’re triggered ! his habits start off so small at first, that he genuinely doesn’t see it as a problem. over exercising is only the beginning, but soon enough, he starts cautiously watching, and counting, the calories of the stuff he eats. when this isn’t proven to be enough, he switches to a vegan diet, and it just escalates from that point on

to be honest, he was never overweight. in fact, doctors would tell him he had to gain some weight in the past, but despite this, he didn’t feel good enough. more so, he felt like he could be better. he became obsessed with any little flaw he would pick out of himself and would work endlessly to fix it, or make it less noticeable. one of his more genuine friends in the modeling industry flat out told him he had a problem, but camilo brushed it aside and kept ‘working’ on himself. by working on himself, i mean practically torturing himself with unhealthy diets and extreme exercise routines

the worst part is that he really didn’t think he had a problem. he struggled with an eating disorder and body dysphoria for over six years, until one day, six months after his twenty sixth birthday, he ends up passing out during a photo shoot. waking up in the hospital, he’s told he has pretty bad malnutrition linked to an eating disorder and is recommended to seek help. at this point, he weighed ninety seven pounds ( almost forty four kilograms )

it’s at this moment that he realizes that he’s not okay. despite not being quite ready to get the help he needs, he ends up checking himself into an inpatient clinic in madrid that specializes in eating disorders and mental health. he’s there for three months and it’s basically hell for him, the hardest thing he’s ever had to do, but... he does get better. by a lot. ends up gaining the weight he needs and see’s a nutritionist to work out a ( healthy ) vegan diet for him. after leaving said clinic, he goes back to los angeles to continue working on his modeling career and meet his sponsors. he’s there until december, and afterwards, makes the decision to move to long island in a pent house his parents own, wanting to be far away from anyone he’s ever known and start fresh

headcanons

truth be told, camilo still does struggle a lot with his weight and appearance. he knows better at this point, but it’s still something he deals with on a daily basis. his habits aren’t unhealthy anymore, but he’s a very picky eater. he’s literally the type of person to separate food on his plate and eat it in different sections, one at a time. he will probably never go back to harming himself the way he did for so long, but he still carries that part of his life with him. he has a healthy diet and exercise routine now, but god knows it took him a while to get there

he can be a real pain in the ass when it comes to keeping things clean. i wouldn’t say he’s ocd, but he can be a borderline neat freak. things have to be tidy otherwise he literally can’t sleep

he enjoys drinking alcohol from time to time, but that’s about it. he hates weed because of the munchies and used to chain smoke cigarettes, but thankfully, that’s a habit he’s broken out of. he’s tried coke and dabbled with it back in spain when he was going through everything he was going through because he liked how it takes away your hunger, but he doesn’t really do anything now, claims he’s ‘high off life’

even though he makes it seem like he doesn’t want anyone or is too good for anyone, deep down inside, camilo really wants to be loved. he wants a boyfriend who will turn into his husband, he wants a kid and a house, and he wants an actual future with someone, despite showing anyone who has ever been interested in him romantically the complete opposite ( minus dani rip )

he has a cat he named draco meowfoy, clever twist on his favorite movie and book character, draco malfoy. his cat is one year old and a ragdoll cat, basically the sweetest cat ever, acts more like a dog than anything

he’s a model and an influencer, future heir to the business’ his family owns. he has thirty five million followers on instagram, and an equivalent amount on tiktok and other social media platforms. he has a ton of money besides that, but he makes a very good amount of money on sponsorships ( his favorite ones so far have been brands like adidas and colgate )

when you really get to know him ( which is rare ), he’s goofy. nothing like that ‘i’m better than you’ persona he puts on for the whole world to see. he has an idiot side to him that likes corny jokes and puns, enjoys knitted sweaters and dad jokes

he plays piano, has been playing since he was four years old, but this is a rather hidden talent of his. he’s a huge example of ‘what you see isn’t what you get’ because people tend to meet him and make up their minds on who he is, but the truth is that he has a ton of layers, a ton of hidden parts of himself that very few people, if not no one, really know of

camilo is also a huge example of ‘money doesn’t buy happiness’ because he has anything materialistic any person could ever dream of having, but deep down inside, he’s not genuinely happy. he definitely has depression, but doesn’t take medication for it

he wants to live a relaxed life here, far away from the chaos that was barcelona and the shit show that was los angeles. he wants a place where people don’t really know who he is, somewhere he doesn’t feel pressure to be ‘perfect’

when he does let you in, he’s loyal. he doesn’t believe in cheating on people and will defend you until the end if he considers you a true person and genuinely likes you. if he doesn’t, it’s the complete opposite. he can be a very fake person for the sake of being ‘diplomatic’, but will literally trash talk you if he isn’t a fan of you. he can say everything to your face as well, but prefers to subtweet about you if you’re not someone he’s fond of

he was offered a spot on a reality tv show in spain with other models, living in a mansion and getting into shenanigans, but he turned it down. the show was similar to ‘hype house’ and he feels like he dodged a bullet with that one

he is a huge fan of enrique iglesias, has been to six of his concerts and has personally met him three times. loves him to death, literally man crush monday all day every day

he has the tiniest accent when speaking english. it’s barely noticeable and will become more prominent if he’s really angry, but for the most part, his english is really, really good. he’s fluent in spanish, english and italian, and even though he speaks all three languages perfectly, his preferred language is spanish, and literal thought process is in spanish as well

i’m gonna end this here because this is long as hell, but below is his birthchart for some extra tea!

Más de un tercio de los nidos de vencejos estudiados en diferentes países europeos están contaminados por plástico, lo que indica que este problema no solo afecta a las aves marinas Los resultados muestran, además, que los nidos cercanos a áreas donde hay mayor actividad humana tienen más probabilidad de contener residuos Gráfico del estudio / Álvaro Luna Un estudio internacional que se publica en la revista Science of the Total Environment, evidencia la dimensión de la crisis de contaminación por plástico al comprobar su presencia en los nidos de tres especies de vencejos en Europa: el vencejo común, Apus apus; el vencejo pálido, Apus pallidus; y el vencejo real, Tachymarptis melba. Esta investigación, la primera de su tipo en evaluar la contaminación por plástico en los nidos de estas aves, destaca la creciente amenaza que representa este problema para la fauna terrestre. Para este estudio, en el que participan la Universidad Europea y el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC), se examinaron 487 nidos de vencejos en 25 colonias distribuidas en siete países europeos. Los datos confirman que el 36,5% de los nidos contienen materiales sintéticos entre los que predominan los residuos plásticos. Este descubrimiento es especialmente preocupante en el caso del vencejo pálido, Apus pallidus, donde el 85% de los nidos estudiados contenían plástico, el porcentaje más alto entre las especies analizadas. Nuestros resultados revelan que la contaminación por plástico, que a menudo asociamos únicamente con los océanos, también está afectando a las especies terrestres”, explica el profesor de la Universidad Europea que lidera el estudio, Álvaro Luna. “Los vencejos, que pasan la mayor parte de su vida en el aire, están expuestos a niveles alarmantes de contaminación atmosférica por plástico, lo que podría tener consecuencias significativas para su vida”, continúa. La investigación también encontró una correlación directa entre la actividad humana y la presencia de plástico en los nidos. Las áreas urbanas y otras regiones con una alta huella antrópica presentaron una mayor probabilidad de que los nidos de vencejos contuvieran residuos, lo que sugiere que la contaminación por plástico en la atmósfera es un reflejo directo de las actividades humanas. “Quedaría por conocer, ahora que sabemos que sucede dicha interacción y que se deriva directamente de la actividad humana, qué tipo de consecuencias tiene para la salud y supervivencia tanto de los propios animales como de los ecosistemas en los que viven y, por supuesto, destacar la necesidad de abordar esta crisis a nivel local y global por parte de las autoridades competentes”, añade Armand Rausell, investigador del MNCN. Los hallazgos de esta investigación plantean serias preocupaciones sobre el impacto ambiental más amplio del plástico atmosférico y cómo está afectando a diversos ecosistemas y a la vida silvestre en formas que hasta ahora no habían sido plenamente reconocidas. A medida que la contaminación por plástico sigue infiltrándose en los rincones más insospechados de la naturaleza, este estudio hace un llamado a la acción inmediata para mitigar sus efectos a largo plazo.
