não há nada mais bonito do que perceber que alguém te percebe,
olhares que te enxergam como um quadro do Louvre,
e veem por inteiro, as pinceladas mais simples e discretas,
um olhar carinhoso, atento por sua existência,
é presença e troca,
é conversa, obra,
a construção de pontes entre almas,
a simplicidade de ser.

Writing Prompt: The One Responsible Adult in the House
It's "Career Day" at Dupont, and the students must bring at least one parent or guardian to talk about their jobs.
The class is excited. Marinette's mother comes bearing desserts, Marinette's father staying to man the bakery. Alya's mother arrives alongside Mayor Bourgeoise, allowed a bit of time off to appear for promotional purposes. Mr. Kubdel arrives to talk about the Louvre, and Mrs. Kante talks about her astronaut training, and Mr. Haprele of his acting.
Adrien had begged for his father to come. He was hopeful that Gabriel would arrive for once to one of his school events, but is incredibly disappointed when Gorilla appears in the limo, sans his father. The poor boy is close to tears, but Gorilla gently places a hand on his shoulder and crouches down, nodding at him.
Adrien realizes then that his bodyguard came to Career Day for him, so that he wouldn't be alone. He hugs the man, a few tears slipping out, whispering "thank you".

[ID: A statue of a person lying on a very plush looking pillow-bed; the sculpture is nude with back to the camera, face turned to the side, lying on a dramatic drapery, with one foot gently raised.]
This is an incredibly compelling work in person for a number of reasons -- to begin with, the raised foot isn't done justice by the photograph, but it's really funny and very human in person. It looked ancient enough, but also whimsical enough, that I was surprised I hadn't seen it in the records yet, so I checked out the placard, which put the date at around 100 CE. I must have just missed it while paging through the records. I'm sorry I did, because it's a gorgeous sculpture. (Its history is complicated but it appears the figure and draperies are ancient while the bed itself is 17th century.)
And it's called the Sleeping Hermaphroditus, because...
Tumblr media
[ID: The statue as seen from the side; head still turned away, the torso is visible, and shows both the generous curve of a breast and also a penis and testicles resting on the drapery on which the figure reclines.]
In ancient history, Hermaphroditus was the child of Aphrodite and Hermes, originally male, who was merged with a naiad who was obsessed with him and became both male and female. He's generally represented as a very feminine-looking person (hair in the female style of the time, prominent breasts, female clothing, rounded hips) with male genitalia, often coyly on display. The history is complicated; we don't have good sourcing for the story and we don't truly know how Hermaphroditus was viewed in the ancient world, as far as I know (classicists feel free to correct me on this). Hermaphroditus, generally referred to with male pronouns even after developing a female appearance, may have represented trans women, intersex people, or some spiritual concept that had little to do with human gender expression at all.
Regardless of the complication surrounding the narrative, the sculpture itself is beautiful, and well worth sharing, I think.

The Hannibal fanart spectrum is so insane like he’s either a horny catgirl or an avant-garde priest dripping blood with some pomegranate symbolism
