Is there an iconic/classic piece of art or media that you associate with each of the main cast that sums them up on an aesthetic level for you as the writer? (for me, I associate Freedom w/ the ecstasy of st teresa)
THE ECSTASY OF ST TERESA YOU SAY??? Oh my god I am so obsessed with that statue that it isn't even funny. I wrote an entire essay about the most obscure topic ever in a cultures class just to have the excuse of talking about it 💀
Anywho-- I selected the art based on meaning instead of aesthetics. I didn't really realize I was doing it until half way through, and then I decided to just stick with it.

Photograph of Notre Dame taken in 2005.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, situated on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, is a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture and an iconic symbol of the city. Construction of this awe-inspiring cathedral began in 1163 and was completed in the 14th century. Known for its stunning rose windows, intricate sculptures, and flying buttresses, Notre-Dame has captivated visitors with its grandeur for centuries. The cathedral gained worldwide attention, both for its architectural significance and cultural importance, especially with Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." Unfortunately, in April 2019, a devastating fire engulfed Notre-Dame, causing extensive damage to its roof and spire. Efforts to restore and rebuild this historical landmark are underway, reflecting a collective commitment to preserving the rich heritage and beauty of Notre-Dame for future generations.

“I love you, Mathilda.” “I love you too, Léon.”
The movie is good. The beginning made me laugh in pure joy, the end made me cry in regret.
Its iconic, innocent and very worthy to watch a thousand times.

- 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐘 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓
- For those who haven’t seen “Léon: The Professional” you’re missing out. Gary Oldman, Jean Reno, and Natalie Portman’s acting was brilliant. Especially Gary Oldman, the way he portrayed Stan was bloody beautiful.
- Lucid Dreams by Juice WRLD took a sample from this song.

a scene so perfect it doesn’t need a caption.
requested by @notyouraveragejulie, the infamous pie-in-the-face moment from the Amsterdam  2017 production of Berlioz’ Benvenuto Cellini, featuring John Osborn in the title role (wielder of the pie), Laurent Naouri as Fieramosca (the original target), and Maurizio Muraro as Balducci (the recipient of the pie).
