I'm surprised no one brought up Chiltern classics

i am glad queer representation has drastically improved in my lifetime. because now i can say that i dislike a gay book and not feel like i’m invalidating stonewall

I'm trying to find the exact quote, but this is basically the guiding principle behind Baldesar Castiglione's Il Cortegiano (The Book of the Courtier). If you're looking to be the ideal 16th century Italian courtier you should definitely be dilettantemaxxing. Remember kids, if you're too good at something that means you're trying, and if people can tell you're trying, well that means you're lacking sprezzatura, and if you're lacking sprezzatura, well baby, you've got no grazia, and if you've got no grazia well no one is gonna want to hang out with you.
