komaeda anon: im losing it on, and this is my cousin kokichi
ngl, because im down bad, so sorry, komaeda is that weird cool mysterious uncle everybody has that isnt actually an uncle but a family friend that you call uncle
except his coolness is the fact the kids can go wild under his supervision, mysterious bc komaeda cant tell him his immediate family is sort of dead- and ogugjjgng his sort of complicated relationship with the other people that, while better after therapy n such, is still you know
also if the nagirigami cant have the Great Pyrenees, what if,, what if komaeda gets one,, what if,, he gets a dog again
He has that cool guy swag on the outside but once you get to know him you realize he's kind of a weirdo (affectionate)
He's very much that guy that the kids dont have to completely worry about social standards around like if you hand him a pile of mud you found he will GLADLY accept it. (ok he might stop you from eating dirt but that's because he got chewed out by Hajime for letting Kokichi eat worms ONE TIME)
Also lets be honest, a lot of the Jabberwock kids will probably never get to meet their grandparents. There's a good chance that few if none of the sdr2 cast's family is still alive (With the Nevermind parents MAYBE having a chance of being alive but then again Novaselic could 100% have been completely sent to ruin by Sonia during The Tragedy for the sake of Despair)
He definitely has a complicated relationship with the rest of the sdr2 cast (ESPECIALLY those who had to go through trial 5, Nanami is still a little mad at him (from inside a tamagotchi)) so I kinda feel like it's a little easier for him to connect with the kids because they know him as the cool guy who let them jump off a palm tree once, they dont know him from the time they were all trapped on an island and forced to kill each other. (and yknow they know him post therapy)
If he gets a dog again he is 100% the owner who totally babies his dog. he makes fancy little meals to prioritize a healthy diet, takes them out for walks even in a hurricane (or he tried to until Hajime stopped him when they had to bunker in the hospital, he still took his doggo on a walk around the hospital to make sure they got proper exercise.

... please share some bernardino lonati info crumbs with us? Please 🥺 ascanio too if you want to
(PS. your art is so beautiful aaa💗)
YES (also thank you! 💗) oh my god okay so
They were!!! friends!!
Bernardino Lonati was from Pavia, and Ascanio spent a lot of time in Pavia in the earlier parts of his life and was also the apostolic administrator of Pavia, so it's very likely they knew each other as teenagers (Ascanio refers to Bernardino as his "cardinal from home")
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
and they were only a couple of years apart in age (Lonati was born in 1452, Ascanio was 1455)
Lonati was one of the cardinals that Ascanio had "made," (Sanseverino is another). Before that, though, he was Ascanio's secretary!
Popes, Cardinals and War, D.S. Chambers
in 1497, Ascanio fell seriously ill, like a lot of Rome thought he had died despite being alive because of how bad his condition was. Lonati was someone Ludovico Sforza got in contact with to try to navigate the situation, and Lonati and Sanseverino were part of a group that banded together to prevent Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI) from seizing Ascanio's assets in the event of his death.
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Every time Ascanio would go against the Vatican for one reason or another/in conflict with the pope (the reason is that Ascanio's loyalty went to Milan first and always), Lonati was one of the cardinals that always sided with him :)
So when Lonati fell ill and it was clear things weren't going to get better
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Ascanio rushed to be with him in his final hours and was so grief stricken over it that he had to be physically pulled away from Lonati's bedside because they were concerned that Ascanio would become ill as well (this was later in 1497). After Lonati died, Ascanio took care of the finances: Lonati wanted to pass the beneficiaries on to family members, but could not do this without Ascanio signing off on it since Ascanio was the apostolic administrator of Pavia.
Asanio did him one better: He wrote to his brother, knowing that he could ensure Lonati's last wishes, and had the income from S. Savino and a third of the income from S. Antonio go to the son, and the minor benefits go to the nephew, and the remaining 2/3rds of the income Ascanio had donated to charitable works in honor of Lonati's soul.
and he was in charge of the funeral arrangements and monument :')

Lonati was buried in Santa Maria del Popolo, a church associated with Ascanio, and later Giuliano della Rovere (Pope Julius II) would have a tomb commissioned for Ascanio there too, which I feel so so so normal about.
Also, Lonati was considered a "poor cardinal" while he was alive, Ascanio was the driving force behind getting Lonati additional incomes.

and for some Ascanio trivia: he was gambled (literally) with Rodrigo Borgia on occasion, and was apparently an amateur musician on top of the Everything Else He Did 🎵
