#my favorite thing to do at the museum

[rt8815]

I'm interpreting our reproduction 17th Century (abbreviated) surgeon's kit today with Yorick II's assistance.

Do I have the coolest job or what 😅

cast character sheets for my class. The concept is a vaguely 1920s/turn of the century supernatural mystery following ophelia, an orphaned tween girl who can see ghosts and spirits. she lives with her godfather solomon and his partner milosz (a 400 year old golem), who sell caskets to various funeral homes. they end up in various capers which ophelia generally uses her precocious and nosy nature to solve

julius is an example of a villain for one of these stories, a gatsby-esque mysterious new money millionaire who's gathering a cult with the ulterior motive of using them in a ritual to resurrect his lost love, meanwhile he's incapable of seeing that very woman's spirit, still literally haunting him. so ophelia will have to solve the mystery of her untimely death and help her move on before julius's ritual succeeds

#my art #oc stuff #solomon and milosz's relationship is my favorite thing but it has the least to do with the story #i think solomon deadass stole milosz from a museum and wrote a bunch of shit on the scroll that animates him to make him do crime #and now they've gone legit and just have a relatively boring domestic existence with a daughter LOL

Being a gore/horror artist & having a corpse phobia sucks because I have so many anatomy questions that I’ll never be able to sate because they are too specific for 3d models or diagrams to articulate. I’ll never be able to see the real deal, I’m just going to be forever guessing. Because even just the mental image of a funeral nearly induces my gag reflex. Let alone ever being able to actually attend a dissection class

Like for example…theoretically…if you were to take an arm and slice it fully in half…does skin bleed???? Cut cleanly through like that? And if so…how? And where? Like does it do it in specific sections, or in even droplets. Or is it just a seamless flow everywhere all at once. And what color is the inside of FRESH SKIN? I mean I’m assuming it’s not skin colored considering the rest of our insides are largely red- and my training model isn’t answering that because it’s a 3d model of an mri scan of a blood drained body that’s unnaturally colored

Like these are the things that keep me up at night because I will never know the answer to how that looks visually (and thus be able to draw it) due to me having the unfortunate ailment of owning a stomach

#gore warning?? I guess?? #gore #gore warning #tw #trigger warning #I can barely look at mri scans #don’t get me started on that anatomy museum I am so mad I’ll ne ear be able to stomach visiting #AND YET FICTIONAL GORE DOES NOTHING TO ME #how tf does that even work #fictional horror is my favorite thing #I’ve gotten better with the mri stuff but I don’t think I’ll ever even be able to do something mild like attend a funeral #I recently found out about that real burnt corpse thing in hl2 and nearly upchuched at the mere idea of me seeing that texture IN THE PAST #and now im nauseous #I can’t stop it from happening #mentally I’m fine #physically my stomach is doing somersaults

my 'ive given up on life but i cant live off maple syrup marshmallows and peanut butter sandwhiches i need to get groceries' outfit. for some reason it looks like i took this in daylight but its dark as night outside despite only been 6 and its the most depressing thing i should have gotten groceries in the sunlight ugh hindsight.

#journal shit #see here's the thing and its a thing specific to LA. #all my friends here need two weeks of notice to plan anything because everyone is so damn busy #so me keeping this entire weekend free under the assumption that we would do something was big for me lmao haha im so dumb #like i knew i wouldnt have time to see him during the conference and i planned no volunteering this weekend to make up for it #he must have known in advance he was gonna do this or had some hint??? a text message that cold is not a sudden decision #meanwhile i was still daydreaming about airplane museum trips and bringing him to the rest of my favorite running spots and blah blah blah #i got blindsided and i get to be the one stuck without plans #i guess you cant really give two weeks notice for the Hey This Isnt Working Out text though lollllll #im not mad at him i dont even really blame him that much im just lonely

#ironically one of my favorite things to do as a kid #was visit museum exhibits on the titantic. i was weirdly fixated on the titanic

Reminder that digital reproductions of nondigital artwork are not objective truths. Physical media appears different irl based on light and shadow and how your eye processes it in relation to its surroundings (see also Seurat's painted frames).

Digital scans are subject to the same inconsistencies. The lighting, lens, processing software, and after affects (ie retouching, color correction) can all affect the final image, as will your screen and its settings.

#Think about viewing a painting on your phone vs standing in front of it and realizing how big it is #Think about this every time I search Tumblr for a specific painting #For example this my favorite painting #Or at least top 5 I'm notoriously bad at picking faves #I will go to France and drag my boyfriend an hour+ outside Paris to see it even though he has ½ the tolerance I do for museums #I like the 2nd scan better but I have no idea how it compares to the real thing #Or what 'ideal' viewing conditions are #Renaissance painters were not painting with direct electric lighting in mind #Lots of art we view up close in museums was designed to be seen at a distance #Michelangelo originally sculpted David assuming he'd be put on a roof and viewed from below #Mumbles go watch the art of seeing #Idk what I'm talking about I'm not an art historian or a visual artist or even an expert #Art #Digital art #Art reproductions #piero di cosimo #simonetta vespucci #Art history #Painting #Idk #post o' mine

Hedwig Eleonora von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf (David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl)

i saw this painting yesterday, or a similar one depicting the same woman in the same dress with the same accessories, and i immediately noticed her little bracelet. its hard to see here because of the quality but she wears a small painting of a man around her wrist which i found very fascinating because i had never seen someone wear anything like that in paintings, or had just never paid much attention to it!! the assumption that she was freshly widowed and that the man around her wrist was likely her late husband proved correct, her husband had died just a year before this was painted and contemporary paintings of him look similar. im not sure if this miniature portrait bracelet as remembrance of the dead was widespread in the 1600s or if this was just a thing of hers but either way i found it very cool and very lovely

i took a closeup photo of just the bracelet, where you can make out the face a bit better but sadly not one of the full painting so i added the one from her wikipedia article!

#comparing the two i see now that they do not originate from the same painting but both paintings were painted by the same artist #and i cannot find a single picture if the full painting online ! but i do know both depict the same woman!!! #anyways grief !!!! remembrance!!! my favorite thing #a bit sad because i accidentally skipped over the death and religion in the bronze age part of the #exhibition #but oh well!! surely not my last time at that museum #grief

just got approval for a day off work for my birthday/good friday!!!

#idk what I’m doing yet other than going to Tenebrae but I’m excited #might go to my favorite used bookstore? though that’s dangerous behavior #or go to this creek with hidden trails I know #or go to an art museum? #anyway I’m excited. #it’s a weird new season of figuring out how to celebrate things in my own context #so I’m trying to embrace it

going to an art museum would fix me

#my favorite thing to do ever i love art museums so much #havent been to one in a while tho #the void rambles

What it's like reading ur old writing and getting to a particularly awful or self-indulgent part

#Untitled Document why do you make me feel this way #I'm scrapping that ffxv h2o au fic I posted to ao3 its 4 years old and I have a better edition planned #I might just upload the rest of the 'continuous' parts as the rest of the chapters and then post the new version bc it's not even close #It's a completely different fic at this point #This isn't an HD texture pack release this is a total remake. We are going from 2d sprites to hyperrealistic 3d models #H2O au #Cruddy rambles #See in the new edition Celor actually isn't around when Ignis bargains with Leviathan and the pact itself is now fully fleshed out and a #Very conscious decision on his part after visiting the Lux Et Umbrae exhibit at the Lucis Royal Museum because there was a whole thing #With a marilith and Noct getting hurt and being terrified and then going to Tenebrae leaving Ignis behind to wonder wtf was going on and #Regis acting sus around him afterwards and then leviathan tricks him because he's 8 years old literally a child and he signs away his #Future in order to get what he wants #Vs the old version where it just sorta. Happens. Because he got sad for a little bit. #The spelldaggers thing is conversely LESS complex in the HD remake. Because it added nothing to the actual plot and this is long enough as #It is. The old guys are all still bros tho. Regis Cor Clarus Celor... They're all bros. And then the chocobros go on the trip and obtain #2 MORE DADS #Because while Cid can be a hardass he means well and cares about them and *basically* adopts them all after insomnia falls #And Weskham is one of my favorite characters in general he's just so fun to write... I am keeping all of his scenes basically the same #But adding even more and also a bit more context as to who he actually is (Regis's old adviser) because uh... That's important! Esp if he's #Dating secretary camelia #Also I added an extra scene to the mythril plot where ardyn infiltrates the group as Gladio to cause discord while Gladio is #Off hanging with Cor #Because we needed more of ardyn's illusions in the main plot esp before Altissia bc what da heck...

I love the human body so much and I don't mean in a medical sense but in the sense that I adore how people look, I adore how old statues and paintings show the beauty of a human body, I love that we've reached a point that people are proud of what once was a huge insecurity, I love seeing people include it in their art. I love hip dips and broad shoulders, I love seeing different types of noses and eyes, I love the different face shapes a person can have and i know that if I hadn't gotten so into art I never would've noticed and admired all these things that make a person different. I love how some people look as if they're nothing but lanky bone, or some folks are fat and round, I like that even in that there's differences. I adore that bodies are different and I honestly can't understand insecurities because it's all so gorgeous to me. I sound like a broken record but I just love it all so much, the human body is amazing and beautiful in every aspect whether a person has a feature or not, or has different features, it's all just so lovely

#i could go off and on about my most favorite parts #i adore when legs are thicker and i dont mean just thighs but the full leg #and not in a muscley manner either but in a body fat manner its just so pleasing to look at #i adore that muscles are jiggly and squishy when they arent flexed its so nice and pleasing #i adore convex noses theyre so pretty #honestly all noses are gorgeous #but dont even get me started on eye shapes ill be rattling off for hours on hours #i like hands and how some are short and thick and others are long and thin or long and thick or short and thin or callous or soft #i adore that your body tells what you do and what youve done #i love stretch marks and scars of all types not because they look so beautiful on a person #i genuinely wish there was a better way for me to explain the sheer adoration i feel but i just cant so i try to show it through art #i struggle with a lot of things but i wanna keep learning because i wanna show just how beautiful i see things #someone release me into a historical art museum so i can go rabid PLEASE #yknow the whole differences are what make you beautiful mumbo jumbo? #i feel like i embody that but in a literal manner because i actively do adore the differences people have when next to others #i adore that no person is the same and i mean it LITERALLY not in a magical mystical manner

Here was today's progress. Didn't get as much done as I wanted to with the meeting that was smack dab in the middle of my working time. Met with a renowned windmill restorer/professional canner and his cousin, another muralist. Apparently people who do murals in texas all know each other for some reason, and are a little pushy about their ideas.

While the conversation did go in circles for a good portion of its entirety, a few interesting thing were discussed, such as the class war between the local railroad workers and farmers that has gone on for centuries, with the actual town being legally split in half over it, only to be restored to whole in 1961. As such, to reflect the town's history, I will be adding the eponymous railroad stop and river that split the town, along with the windmill and water tank that the steam engines stopped for.

Before I left, I was given a bag of "famously tasty" peaches that I plan on splitting between preserves and cobbler.

#murals are my favorite thing to get commissioned for #the bigger the canvas the better i do #im not so good with small detail on regular paintings but i can get quality murals done pretty quickly #i only work tuesdays and thursdays on the museum mural #this was the end of my first week! #other days im taking care of my grandma or working on smaller commissions #hopefully ill get the mural done before the fall semester starts #jabberjos #mural musings

#i know i say it a lot but like. i love them so so dearly #they’re so great and I genuinely couldn’t imagine how it’d be now if I hadn’t met them #and they keep putting up with my shit even when im literally so bitchy sometimes #I complain way too much and I appreciate them so much for denying it anyways #they’re like actually the best ever #even if they deny that too #and I want do so many things with them #i want sleepy kisses and cuddles and stupid movies #and I want to play board games with them even if I hate board games #it’d be fun with them i know it #and I want to go to museums and aquariums and parks #and just walk around looking at all the pretty stuff (including them. they’re stunning.) #(i do not think i will be able to look away from them when we are together actually) #and I want to have dumb convos about like. anything as long as it’s with them #and I want to hear them ramble about their stuff because it’s. literally so so endearing #one of my favorite things ever #oh god this is a lot of tags I #will stop now!

Hey queen. You seem v knowledgeable about pro-Palestinian charities. Would you mind making a post or giving some info on which ones are really effective and honest abt their work? I've been hearing some problematic things about UNRWA, and Save the Children seems to be doing very little (as far as I am informed). I donate to PCRF and MAP, but don't know any other, smaller orgs that may also need more awareness? Thanks ♥

hello, thanks for sending this in. so i've been trying to find smaller orgs for palestine that are specifically for helping gaza, but the issue is not much aid is being let in. PCRF is a really good org in my opinion, I'd always donate to them regardless.

There's also the Palestine Museum, which does really great cultural preservation work.

Palestine Legal is a legal aid group that helps palestinian and palestinian advocacy facing legal challenges.

Palestine Action is a direct action group that helps do disruptive protests.

Samidoun helps palestinian prisioners around the world and keeps and eye on them.

Within Our Lifetime is an NYC based palestinian led organization.

Palestinian Youth Movement is a favorite for Turtle Island led Palestinian resistance.

Palestine Feminist Collective is a Turtle Island feminist movement that works to spread culture and information.

Good Shephard Collective seems to be doing good work in Bethlehem as well.

I would mostly look for mutual aid groups for people from Gaza if you want to donate to them. Aya Ghanamah retweets mutual aid groups a lot.

I might share more groups in a second reblog after I hear back on best ways to help them.
