Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & the Catholic Imagination, or: The Met Gala Does Catholic Art Ho

[wellntruly]

Every year the Metropolitan Museum of Art throws a big fancy fashion party with a theme seemingly picked solely for the ASTOUNDING potential to dazzle, and every year 90% of the attendees fail to clear even the most minimum of bars. This is one of those years, because it is every year.

BUT, that 10% who actually went for something went pretty dang FOR IT this particular May, an IMPROVEMENT over last, and we’re here for it. We being my bff Jen and I.

Jen: I’m in it for the Opulent Imagery™
Jen: Angel wings and tall hats and people doing their best cosplay of Jude Law
Jen: Rihanna comes dressed as the entire Ghent Altarpiece, etc.
Me: C O R R E C T

HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE LOOKS

The Flight’s Greatest Crimes

[library-lore]

The eleven Flights, while sharing in some values, differ greatly in others. Each flight glorifies its own version of Perfection - and each has its own sins it considers most heinous. Of course, these aren’t universal, but here is something of a shorthand of what each flight considers the worst sort of trait.

Earth: disloyalty. Earth dragons value consistency; like the very stone they stand on, they are reliable when nothing else is. A disloyal dragon, however, is untrustworthy and can’t be relied on.

Water: rigidity. Water dragons predict the future, but that knowledge is useless if one cannot adjust oneself to meet it. A rigid dragon, one who cannot bend and flex with the ever-changing Now, is unable to make best use of the present or to prepare for the future.

Wind: prejudice. They are travelers who value their wide experience; even those who do not travel will provide hospitality for those who do. An inability to respect and understand differences runs directly against the Wind way, which glorifies differences, as varied as the rainbow.

Fire: cowardice. The Flamecaller’s children are intense and passionate, a trait they pour into their work at the forge and their skills at war. A coward - a dragon who is too afraid to act on their passions - shames themselves.

Ice: carelessness. The Southern Icefield is harsh and unforgiving, as are its inhabitants. A single mistake can cost lives; Ice dragons cannot afford to be careless.

Lightning: laziness. Lightning stands for industry and ambition; it would not exist without hard work and dedication. Nothing can be achieved through indolence; a lazy worker holds both himself and his coworkers back.

Light: deception. Light dragons value Truth above all, and strive to find it in all manners possible. Deliberately hiding or spreading false knowledge is their greatest taboo, as it compromises awareness of the truth.

Shadow: predictability. Morality is somewhat absent in the Tangled Wood, where dragons live on their wits and darkness hides all deeds. They value trickery and sleight-of-hand. Where even life is a game, the opponent’s ability to guess your next move can be deadly; it is best to be fickle and unpredictable.

Plague: self-distruction. The Plaguebringer’s creed is simple: survive, no matter what. Honor and strength is to fight and live, despite all odds. Giving up and harming one’s own life is the ultimate shame; it is admitting defeat. Plague dragons find it utterly disgusting and un-Plague.

Nature: wrath. Nature flight’s value is life itself, and of course they will fight to defend it; if a few lives are lost to preserve many more, well, that is Nature’s way. Deliberate and intentional destruction, however, is despicable, denying what all Nature fights to protect; it renders the loss of life meaningless.

Arcane: ignorance. While most Arcane dragons will admit their ignorance - why else would they constantly seek to know more and more? - it is unthinkable not to try and solve that. Ignorance itself may not be a bad thing, but accepting it without seeking further knowledge is.
