Another post :D
Modelling enthusiasts look at a model who isn't a size 0 and act like it's the end of the fucking world like wtf do you mean "the inclusivity is too forced" just say that you want other people to conform to your standards bish
Me: I must focus on making backstories first and make ship art later.
Also me: Haha ship art go brr
(The reason Cosette look so much shorter than Louisette is because she's laying on Louisette's chest and she slept while curling up into a ball)
Istg when I grow up I'll be open minded and won't believe those awful rumours and fake news my older relatives believe
We were walking around in the exhibit. I found something related to my sixth great-grandmothers. But what truly catched my attention was an illustration with a touchscreen and some headphones below it.
"Tori?" I searched for her, but she's already in front of said screen. She looks fond of the illustration.
"Oh. Sorry for not noticing you, darling. I was.. distracted," she said, smiling guiltily. I examined the illustration. There were two men in typical 19th century clothing pulling each other to an embrace, although I couldn't determine which decade. Definitely made pretty recently, as the art style is very anime-ish, and I doubt 19th century artists ever knew about such things.
On the screen, there was only a play button. Tori and I wore the headphones and she pressed play. Classical music begins to play. I glanced at Tori. She looked like she was reminiscing about something.
"Aloisia, have I ever told you about the story behind this piece?"
"No, what is it?"
She sighed. "Well, the composer of this piece is my favourite composer. The meaning of his first name is connected to victory, just like me. And his lover, whom he dedicated this piece to.. well, his first and middle name is a variant of Louis and William, and your first and middle name.." I saw tears form on her eyes. "Aloisia Wilhelmina, is also another variant of those names too.."
"So you were thinking about us?"
"Yes."
I looked at her in the eye, and she understood what I wanted to say.
"You're allowed to."
We moved closer to each other and had our first kiss.
After visiting other exhibits, we returned to our own homes in the evening. I carefully put my shoes under the bed, but my hand hit something unfamiliar.
Anxiously, I tried to feel it. It feels like a knob. I decided to pull the knob upwards. It opened a small, discreet storage. There seems to be some papers inside. I randomly took one out, and it was a charcoal sketch of a man.
Under the man's sketch, there is his handwriting: Alois Vilhelm, self portrait, 1819, and on the other side of the paper, there is another handwriting that looked different to his: My Beloved, My Dearest Alois.
I guess I already knew who's this Alois my family members are named after. Just needed some little research about his connection with the family.
And definitely not now, because I'm already tired.
Guys.
Y’all.
I…
I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.
Look. Okay.
There are two things you need to know, here.
First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).
Like this one, currently in the Met:
Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:
They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.
The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.
Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
Hi anyways I'm in 9th grade now
(also my classmates are still the same as 8th grade which means I still share the same class with my crush hehe)
So uh.. I tried to draw my fictional cottagecore gf and her catto UwU
I'm bored, so here's some stuff (plus some revisions) about my OCs!
• (revision) Cosette and Louisette met at a dinner party host by Cosette's parents. They invited Louisette's parents because they're friends. Louisette's parents brought her to the dinner party and she met Cosette there. Cosette was almost 25 y.o. and Louisette was 21 y.o.
• They started dating on 18/02/1921
• Aurelie studied at a girls only dormitory school after she finished primary school.
• Cosette only got to see one of her granddaughter, who is named after her.
• Louisette is both a novelist and a journalist. She once wrote an article about her friend's ex-husband.
• Cosette can play the piano (her father taught her), and so can Louisette, but Cosette is better.
• Cosette's mother taught her to sing when she was 5 y.o.
• Louisette majored in history, while Cosette majored in music.
• Nocturne ( Cosette's cat ) was a stray cat. Cosette adopted him on January 1920, after she went back from the courthouse.
(TW: Mention of death)
• Cosette has an older brother. She also would've had a younger sibling, but her younger sibling died at birth.
"I'm not a trans exclusionist but for one hate message I will donate something to gendcrits and LGB groups" what the fuck is wrong with you
Trick or treat 🧛🎃
