Okay but a Hetalia/Da Vinci Code crossover with aph Prussia as Silas.

Dan Brown’s logic on Silas growing into a very huge and strong man despite of -well, no, actually BECAUSE- he barely ate more than discarded fruit and raw fish and slept in an abandoned fabric even since he was seven will never not cease to amuse me.

Silas from The Da Vinci Code (Tw: Gun)

[rmelster]

@alaskan-wallflower YESSSS! Finally someone talks about it.

Would have been much better if instead of starting his povs with “the albino” or “Silas the Albino” he would have put some more though and started them as “the monk”. Silas may have been very mindful of his albinism when it was the supposed cause of the mistreatment his mother and himself suffered from the hand of his drunken father, and the contempt he received from those he met afterwards as a homeless youth and as a prisoner, but now? Now he would much better deem himself as “the monk”, “the weapon of God”, “the faithful”, because that is what his brainwashed head would think.

I grant Dan Brown that representing albinism can be quite difficult (specially since there is a great lack of classical character with albinism that have not been portrayed as “evil”, “witchy” or “mad”, the only one that comes to my mind being king Zāl from the Shahnameh), but for God’s sake, it was 2003, not 1803. He did try to fend himself saying that Silas “was a tragic character, product of the manipulation of his spiritual guide and the mistreatment he suffered as a son and as a stray boy”. But not only does he represent the character’s behaviour in a very stereotypical way -“he liked the pain”-, but the whole representation of his albinism (AND HIS HEALTH STATE) is like. Wattpad level.

It should also be noted that Dan Brown seems to believe that Silas’ many trials and hardships made him thrive in the physical aspect, turning him into a very strong guy. And honestly, I DON’T BELIEVE HIM. I would much rather believe the ol’ reliable of “genetics” -since Silas’ father, a docker, was said to be strong too- before believing than him being half starved, always cold and alone since he was seven, and the many “physical punishments” he bestowed himself, turned him into the deathly weapon he is by the beginning of the book. It would be more realistic if he was some sickly, lanky and anguished man that had to use his wits and what little force he has left to kill the people.

But Dan Brown just went “what if I make this guy have albinism, that would be so cool” and forgot any research. Anyways.

i’m reading the da vinci code because i heard there was a character with albinism and holy shit lmfao

they had me when they said he had ‘translucent white skin and red eyes’ but when i got more into it and found out he’s a fuckinf SHARPSHOOTER?? and he can drive? and READ FINE PRINT?

Also I think this quote from an article is important:

“Michael McGowan, an albino who heads the National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation, said "The Da Vinci Code" will be the 68th movie since 1960 to feature an evil albino.” this article was written in 2006 btw (i love the referring to McGowan as ‘an albino’ too, shit goes hard./s)

god i love the portrayal of albinism in media. it’s so warped.

threads of sunlight (lawrence/tedesco)

gaudete et exultate (unrequited lawrence/bellini)

+ the new pope:

putting out fire (with gasoline) (NSFW, assente/cavallo)

+ the davinci code:

et in arcadia ego (WIP, NSFW-ish, silas/aringarosa)

pour la fin du temps (complete, silas/aringarosa)
