A last, general rule: in love, beware of the moon and the stars, beware of the Venus de Milo, of lakes, guitars, rope-ladders, and of all love stories — yes, even the most beautiful in the world, were it written by Apollo himself! But love dearly, vigorously, fearlessly, orientally, ferociously the woman you love.

It just occurred to me that some old school paintings and sculptures are literally fanart, even though we don’t think of them that way…

Da Vinci’s Jesus fanart

Raphael’s Greek philosopher fanart

Alexandros of Antioch’s Aphrodite fanart

And let’s not forget the most prolific fanartist of all, Mr. Andy Warhol with his Monroe/Elvis/Campbell soup fanart

Alexandros of antioch venus de milo

The Venus de Milo statue itself is thought to date back to 130 BCE and was originally thought to have been carved by the Great Greek sculptor, Praxiteles. The Venus de Milo stands at just over two metres tall and its discovery has certainly aided in promoting the myth that Milos was the birthplace of Aphrodite. Since the statue’s discovery, the original plinth it stood on has also since been lost. Several other carved marble fragments were also discovered at the time, though it’s unclear as to what happened to the statue’s arms. The Venus de Milo was originally discovered in a small sealed up cave, and broken into two pieces. Kentrotas had been searching for some stones for building material, and instead stumbled upon what has since been referred to as one of the greatest treasures of antiquity. It all started in 1820 when a farmer by the name of Yorgos Kentrotas (though there is no consensus on the farmer’s exact name) discovered the Venus de Milo statue quite by accident, somewhere between the village of Tripiti and the ancient Christian Catacombs. The story of the Venus de Milo in the modern era began in the 19th-century. Venus de Milo Discovery & The Greek Connection Other highlights of the volcanic island include exploring the Christian catacombs of Tripiti village, snapping photos of the pretty as a postcard Manrdakia village, and of course, seeing the ancient theatre and site where the Venus of Milos was found. Its capital is a small city by the name of Plaka and one of the most famous attractions on the island is the Sarakiniko Beach, a lunar-like landscape which wouldn’t look out of place on a sci-fi film.įor those looking for the ultimate Greek escape, Milos offers it all. Sparkling waters, small settlements, and traditional Greek food: Milos is much less populated than its neighbours and fewer tourists venture onto its shores. Allegedly the birthplace of Aphrodite, thanks to its volcanic nature and breathtakingly beautiful scenery, Milos has been inhabited almost consistently for some 12,000 years.

love animal crossing's implication that if you buy a statue that looks like The Venus de Milo, at a store, and an appraiser informs you that it is not, in fact, the original piece sculpted by Alexandros of Antioch, then you have been ripped off in some capacity

Let's Talk About Venus' Name and Where It Came From!

Okay, look, I PROMISE that I'll talk about Slash eventually, but I just had another great idea for Venus!

Granted, this is not my original idea, I was inspired by mad_and_thick_as_thieves' story, "Light When All Grows Dark," on Ao3. If you guys haven't read it already, I highly suggest you do. It's only 3 chapters long and insanely adorable.

But back to business! The story had me thinking of other ways Venus could have gotten her name.

As most of you know, in The Next Mutation TV show where was introduced, "Mei Pi Chi" was renamed "Venus de Milo," after the famous Greek sculpture by Alexandros of Antioch. In what is the most indicative move to describe the series overall, in a show with action fighters who are named after famous Renaissance artists, the one female fighter is named after a statue. It's almost poetic in its laziness.

So, to help combat the inherent problems with her name, I've come up with a few suggestions to establish how and why she was named "Venus," and how it adds more to her character

Here's my suggestion:

Venus was found with no arms.

The primary explanation I've thought of is that the lab explosion had, unfortunately, blown off her arms.

That, or it could be a birth defect. But I feel like the lab explosion would make more sense. It's horrific, but it makes sense.

So, like the beautiful statue she is named after, a symbol of grace, beauty, and strength, the little turtle was named "Venus."

Or better yet, as a nod to The Next Mutation (shocking that I'm referencing it, I know), whoever found her as an infant named her "Mei Pi Chi", and once she meets the family and wishes to adopt a new name, she, the boys, and Splinter agree on "Venus."

Now, I saw someone in the comments of the story suggest that Donnie would make her cool robot arms, but I have a better idea.

In my own headcanoned origin for Venus, she was found after the lab's demolition, either by Big Mama, my yokai cat interpretation of Chung I, or another magically-in tuned yokai. Therefore, I propose that Venus would create floating arms/hands herself, made out of magic.

Kind of like our buddy Rayman here!

Except light blue and magic-y.

So yeah! Venus was trained to fight with magic despite having no arms. This would show how strong and determined she is to whatever she puts her mind to, despite how difficult it may be considering the circumstances.

Once they all meet up and Venus becomes closer to the family, I have no doubt that Donnie would want to convince her to give his robotic prosthetic arms a try, maybe having them infused with her magic. That'd be pretty cool!

Obviously, they wouldn't treat her differently just because of her disability, but they acknowledge it and try to help out if they can.

Since she had to learn how to balance herself, as having arms helps to stabilize your balance, she can do anything that everyone else can do. Even so, anyone would be surprised by how incredibly graceful she is.

Author's Note: I know this one was short, but as soon as I read that fanfic, the inspiration took a hold on me. Anyway, what do you guys think? Again, I'll get to Slash soon. I haven't forgotten about him.

But for now, thank you so much for reading! I hope you all have a great day, and I'll see you guys later! Byeee! 💗💗
