I saw your post about Pierro and you've somehow singlehandedly ignited my Genshin Impact Pierro brainrot, who is also based on the commedia dell'arte stock character and now I'm just thinking about him being all sad and having no one to love 😭

Do you have more Pierro facts? 👀

YES I DO!

if you want to be a little clown obsessed freak like me, know the basics about Pierrots and all that, but branch out too!!!

Another great example of the classic Pierrot story taking a different approach is the opera Pagliacci by Leoncavallo. This is one of my favorite operas of all time. Pagliacci follows a commedia del arte theatre group led by a married couple playing the roles of Pierrot and Columbina. When the lines between performance and reality begins to skew for our main character, (the Pierrot character) he falls down a spiral of madness.

This opera is one of the most well written I’ve ever seen, and you should definitely check it out!

Another absolutely wonderful example of Pierrots is Baptiste from Children of Paradise. This character is an exemplary example of the Pierrot trope, mainly because of the fantastic costumes and characterization. The movie itself can be boring at times, but his scenes are always entertaining, and the actor himself was a professional Pierrot! The character of Baptiste was inspired by Pierrot actors from the 1800s, like Charles Deburau (the first picture!!) and others.

Quote

Garance: Still writing plays? Pierre-François Lacenaire: Yes, in my idle moments. Garance: "Misconduct." A tragedy? Pierre-François Lacenaire: No, a slightly ribald farce. I loathe tragedy. Such an inferior genre. Characters who kill one another, yet never get hurt.

Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise) (1945)

Four theatre men fall in love with the same woman.

The narrative deepens itself by relating to other art forms such as Shakespeare, the parallels to Othello are less than subtle but don’t adhere too closely as to be adaptation. There are also many quoted phrases throughout to elevate conversations from banal to scholarly and some of the characters get somewhat complex in their past and motivations.

Many such films deal with controversial portrayals of relationships and many of the ones depicted here appear shallow and mainly for staged turmoil, as with some real unhealthy relationships to be fair. The narrative focus drifts between the ensemble but also through genres, never settling for drama, tragedy, or comedy. The inter-titles include an unfortunate derogatory description of women needing to be “conquered” and it could have done without the blackface.

An amusing feature that elevated it just slightly was the curtain dropping down half way and at the end in a metaphysical way, addressing the theatrical set-up of the film. The scale was impressive, especially considering the political climate it was produced in and some of the logistical elements behind the scenes are interesting to read like one pro-Nazi actor dropping out after D-Day and two Jewish writers having to submit work for it by proxy.

Some scenes work a lot better than others like the stylised conflicts, however others were unusual but oddly entertaining such as the mime scenes, and others were more irritating than anything else like the crowds cheering for plays that were tedious at best. The ending leaves the movie feeling purposeless since little or nothing is really resolved and it didn’t help French stereotypes for promiscuity in the least.

3/10 -This one’s bad but there’s some good in it, just there-

-Funding for the project was almost dropped when the Italian co-producers left the project due to Italy falling to the Nazis.

-The film avoided the Nazi ban on films over 90 minutes by dividing it into two parts.

-The theatre name, Funambules, translates to “Tightrope” in English.

"The Children of Loki"

Fenrir, Hel, & Jörmungandr!

I'm happy with how these came out! I'm reworking a lot of "The Gift From Paradise" so there's gonna be a couple of redesigns and/or new characters the next time I touch this series of mine!

I need to make proper sheets for Hel and Jor someday.

Some sketch, line, & color WIPs for this drawing <3

Jonathan Wiltshire, An Astral City

* * *

“Death is the name we give to the cessation of physical processes as perceived by our physical senses. Higher processes ... simply continue, free of the encumbrance of the outer body. Furthermore, we are more truly alive in this new awakening than ever we were on earth, since we no longer suffer the illusion that only the physical world exists. All of our inner senses are activated and, like arousing from a long sleep, you suddenly become aware of a most familiar and cherished reality—the inner world which is our original, authentic and eternal homeland.”

— Flower A. Newhouse, Christian Mystic

As reciprocal smiting flares in the Middle East yet again... [Ian Sanders]

* * * *

“Into this wild Abyss/ The womb of Nature, and perhaps her grave--/ Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,/ But all these in their pregnant causes mixed/ Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,/ Unless the Almighty Maker them ordain/ His dark materials to create more worlds,--/ Into this wild Abyss the wary Fiend/ Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,/ Pondering his voyage; for no narrow frith/ He had to cross.”

― John Milton, Paradise Lost
