Caravaggio living paintings by Ludovica Rambelli Theater

This never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I’ve seen it.

In order:

  • Entombment of Christ
  • Judith slaying Holofernes
  • Flagellation of Christ
  • Martyrdom of Saint Matthew
  • Annunciation
  • Rest on the Flight into Egypt
  • Raising of LazarusSaint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy
  • Bacchus

For the sake of comparison because these are not only amazing to look at, but really great likenesses. Love this.

Thought I’d add the references because DAMN

fyi if you do figure studies, the croquis cafe guy is a trump supporter so here’s some figure drawing resources that aren’t that: 

books:

That empty feeling you get when you finish a novel...

I just finished Carry On and I just... I need a moment to process all that.

Like I have book two sitting on my shelf but I'mma need some time to mourn the loss of the first story before I start the next, ya know?

Day 11: Fluff

“Just because.”

That’s what the tag tied around the flowers says, hanging over the edge of the vase. It doesn’t fool me, of course — after years of living together, I’ve come to realise that nothing about Snow is ever just because.

“Simon?” I call, wondering what he’s up to. He’s off work today; he said he planned to spend the day in his underwear, playing video games. “Are you in?”

I open the door to our bedroom, thinking the bouquet will look loveliest on our windowsill, a sweet sight to wake to in the morning. (Though Snow is, as ever, the sweetest.)

He’s in here. Wearing a suit, or an attempt at one — it looks like he had a fierce fight with a double Windsor knot, and only just emerged victorious. I hold the flowers in one hand and my car keys in the other, mouth dropping open as he drops to one knee.

Jefferson figuring out that his son is Spider-Man but instead of telling him “hey you blew your secret” and possibly freaking him out, starts quietly training him in correct police procedure (without him knowing) while also repeatedly talking about how he had issues with the old Spider-Man but the new one seems like a brave and responsible young man and how he would be totally proud of him if he were this guy’s parents

Jefferson: you’ve got everything you need for the week? Books? Computer? Spray paint? Web fluid? Shoes?

Miles: wait what was that middle thing

Jefferson: spray paint! I support my son’s artistic endeavors

Rio: okay but is he seeing that ballerina spider-girl or not? He seems very fond of her

Jefferson: well he’s very insistent that she’s Spider-Woman but honestly he always seems to want to act professional when he’s in the mask so I can’t tell

Rio: you could ask him

Jefferson: honey we need to let him have his privacy he doesn’t want us to know

LATER

Rio: I wonder if the new Spider-Man has a girlfriend he seems like he’d be very nice

Miles, sweating: mom are you trying to set me up with Spider-Man

I’m sorry, but Miles Morales pretending to date Spider-man to keep his secret identity while his parents 100% know that he’s Spider-man is PEAK humor

they invite him to dinner just to see what miles comes up with

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.
