#ecstasy of st Teresa

@vashmerylweek Day 4: Wings / Flying The Ecstasy of St. Meryl / Transverberation Loosely based on the story of the Ecstasy of St. Teresa: “I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying.”

This was actually one of my favorites I've made for the week!

I listened to Bach for eight hours after she left into the snow, disappointed with my library and choice of whiskey— she divested my apartment of her hair, denuded it of form, her voice and beauty— sauntered into late skies past breweries that light the city’s edge with steam, leaving me with bottles and my old skylight and the landlord banging on my wall You keep quiet now. You always make too much noise in there when girls come and leave.”

Angles & Demons by Dan Brown just taught me some new things about the sculpture Ecstasy of Saint Teresa

I understand where it's coming from. Just the way Dan Brown phrased this is funny to me and not what I expected

a random OC ask for you (for zaihala): what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

aah omg this is so sweet ehehe, thank you for the qs :3c

i like to imagine that zaihala is an avid stonemason and mosaicist .. i think she is enraptured by the idea of taking something so resilient in nature and molding it under the guide of mallet and chisel . she's a humanist intrigued by the natural world, by geology.. by the incredible craftsmanship that goes into such a trade .

if she were to be dropped into some random city with the freedom of both time and money, i think you could find her in the market , sourcing materials or tesserae she couldnt otherwise acquire at her local workshop. . glass, shells, ceramics etc from vendors or acquainting herself with quarry tradesmen in order 2 procure the stone that best fits her vision.its an obsession..u literally have to pull her away or she'll be there all day

as for her FAVORITE MEMORY!!! omg.. i keep picturing her as this fresh face in baldurs gate, having just moved there on her own , sworn to independence but feeling like maybee she made a mistake. . maybe she was too impulsive, chasing her desire to pursue stonework on a whim, not having thought abt the consequences or the finances or what have u .. but she takes the chance to meet up with some local artists on an outing just outside the city .and its just sooo .. reaffirming to her in that moment. to be surrounded by people who are drunk on wine & laughter and to see the sprawling city just before her as the sun is setting..and the wind is warm..gentle...and it leaves her feeling so content..like a feeling of peace that swells up within her and lets her know tht she made the right choice. that it will be OKAYYU!!!!!!!!!! i think that's gotta be in one of her top ten.. perhaps.

#hmm.i just rly love her. #she wld def haave one of those like. dude idk anything abt stones or gems or literally anything that i talked ab here #but she would have those like.gem inspection kits :sob: like smone tries to bullshit her on the quality or identity of smth #and shes like the nerd emoji as she pulls out thse sujper magnifying glassses or watevr and the forceps and shes like. #YKWIMM HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH #also i just love the idea of her being sooo independent. not from the get go but as a sort of character evolution #and not independent in a deleterious 'i dont need anyone' way but as someone who knows themselves in&out.comfortably. #bc i always make ocs that r soo.. insistent on deriving worth from their interaction w others.how are they perceived 'are they liked 'so on #but for her..i rly want 2 make someone who is self assured in their own abilities & worth.she knows what shes capable of ! #doesnt need outside validation or outside influence to choose/act on her behalf. #shes a big community / friends / family person when it comes to like.social support . #very fun. shes a paladin for me.loveee divine smite.. love radiance #ik i modeled my one off k n y oc on berninis ecstasy of st teresa but sry its zaihalas now.those gold rays of light.LITERALLY HER COREEE #zaihala #ocs #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #asktag #inaconstantstateofchange

birdmen as presented by my bestie beloved @ashe-is-here​

#just thinking thoughts... #might as well maintag this eh #birdmen #I love this for a lot of reasons including but not limited to #my first reaction upon seeing the title slide being 'lol eishi's so short he's not even blocked out by the title' #and then seeing that that was the very first bullet point in the following slide #also the way that 90% of this is correct #5% of the stuff is understandable misunderstandings #and the final 5% is just baseless personal headcanons I've presented as fact #birdmutuals furrowing their brows at 'kissing underneath the ecstasy of st teresa' and the 'robin and arthur have a thing for tater tots' #and even 'the dead birds twitch chat in takayama's brain' #dont worry about it. it's all in my head #I canNOT believe Takayama being a mechanic didn't make it onto the Takayama slide though you threw a right fit when you found out #like you nod your head when I tell you he absorbed the consciousness of the first bird jesus but when I say he's a mechanic you visibly turn #and yell 'WHAT?!' like THAT'S the weirdest thing you've heard about him #anyways I think this is both hilarious and sobering as it reflects both my own biases and also emery's biases regarding the series #sorry I am ignoring umino I don't mean to be a misogynist I'm just wildly distracted by whatever christian swag the tks trio have going on #it always comes down to the jesus christ kin. the religious weirdness. sorry for being like this (apology for me AND ashe) #but yeah I fucking prommy. i got 2 wips in the works regarding umino #I have no idea why he knows about ende though. when did I drop the fact that god lives in the amazon rainforest and uses they/them pronouns? #wait wiat wait since I have everybody's attention I am going to make this joke once again #'they're really putting the 'ende' in 'gender'' #okay thank you for coming to my ted talk #anyways I love this alot and I am printing this out and putting it on my wall #(I am not but maybe I should cram all these slides into the desktop wallpaper folder)

The Art of "The Passion of St. George"

Classical art is a huge part of the narrative in my story, “The Passion of St. George.” Not only is it an art piece with a mythological subject that instigates the horror and starts the plot, but Sally, the main character, is an art history major and very passionate about art. Because of this, Sally references a lot of real art pieces in her narration. I thought would be a good idea to put…
