Ernie Barnes - The Gospel Truth - 1985

Ernie Barnes - Solid Rock Congregation - 1993
Ernie Barnes July 15, 1938 – April 27, 2009 A leading 20th century artist well-known for his unique style of movement, Ernie Barnes is the first American professional athlete to become a noted painter. His works are shown, collected and respected internationally. In pop culture Barnes’ artwork appears on music album covers, television and movies, especially his iconic dance hall scene, The Sugar Shack.
Tumblr media
Ernie Barnes painting "The Sugar Shack" – used for Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" album artwork – was sold for a whopping $15.3 million dollars.
Tumblr media
'The Big Ern' - a 24" x 36" self portrait - He gave this painting to Charlton Heston in 1969.
Tumblr media
He was #61 for the San Diego Chargers who were coached by Al Davis back then.
Tumblr media
The 6' 3" 250 lb. offensive guard was #62 when he played for the Denver Broncos.
Shortly after his final football game, Barnes went to the 1965 AFL owners meeting in Houston in hopes of becoming the league's official artist. There he was introduced to New York Jets owner Sonny Werblin, who paid for Barnes to bring his paintings to New York City. Later they met at a gallery and unbeknownst to Barnes, three art critics were there to evaluate his paintings. They told Werblin that Barnes was "the most expressive painter of sports since George Bellows."
In what was one of the most unusual posts in the history of the AFL, Werblin retained Barnes as a salaried player, but positioned him in front of the canvas, rather than on the football field.

WAIT WAIT-
In American Sign Language, communication isn’t just about how you move your hands. Your facial expressions are vital to accurately relaying your intended message. And not just “oh be expressive for tone” I mean literally there are standardized rules for how to move your face and in what context. The signs for “big” and “little” are practically meaningless without the appropriate mouth-shape, “ice cream you like?” is no longer a question and therefore means something completely different if you aren’t raising your eyebrows, etc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So it literally JUST occurred to me Donnie’s motivation for drawing eyebrows on his mask could be completely for practical reasons considering he canonically has at least a basic understanding of asl.

2023 f1 grid and whether they’d fuck their clone
Max Verstappen - would do it because his partner wants to watch him do it. Would get strangely competitive about it
Sergio Perez - yes, would kinda get obsessed with it a bit and freak everyone else out
Lewis Hamilton - yes, and would tell people about it phrasing it as an important learning step on his journey of self-love
George Russell - 100%. Would get a boner looking at his clone’s abs
Charles Leclerc - would do it but would get awkward and fumbly and ask his clone what he would like him to do only for his clone to be like ‘mate i am literally you’
Carlos Sainz Jr - would do it and would thoroughly enjoy pulling and tugging at his clone’s hair
Lando Norris - would do it but just because everyone else is doing it and he doesn’t wanna come off as a prude. would probably get into an argument with his clone about which position they should try first
Oscar Piastri - wouldn’t do it just so he can tell lando he isn’t doing it and that it is okay to not want to
Lance Stroll - no, doesn’t care for it at all and doesn’t see why other people do
Fernando Alonso - yes. would try to sell a sex tape of it
Pierre Gasly - would want to soooo bad but would be stopped by some messed up catholic guilt logic
Esteban Ocon - would do it and totally over exaggerate on how good it was just to make pierre jealous
Daniel Ricciardo - would go from being super freaked out about it to super turned on by it in 0.2 seconds
Yuki Tsunoda - would do it and would hate it
Valtteri Bottas - yes and he would do it so fucking well
Zhou Guanyu - yes, goes into it thinking he wouldn't like it but ends up having a good time
Kevin Magnussen - would do it and would get bored during it
Nico Hülkenberg - 100%. Thinks he’s hot shit and would have the time of his life
Alex Albon - would try to do it but would laugh too much to be able to get it on
Logan Sargeant - wouldn't do it and then would regret it for the rest of his life

scent marking > anything else
i-
i...don't have a valid argument. you win. 🏳️
NSFW beyond this point. MDNI or zl's dick will shrivel up bc you're too young for him. possessive!zhongli. scent marking.
but being with zhongli at some type of event or party. and he's watching another dude chatting you up from across the room, but his mouth is just a little too close to your ear. so zhongli makes his way over to you and nonchalantly asks to have a word with you.
down the hall, he pulls you into a nearby storage closet and next thing you know your back is dragging up and down the wall as he fucks his fat, glowing erection into you. his mouth is right up against your ear, commanding you to tell him who you fucking belong to.
so with your ankles digging into the musculature of his flexing ass, you answer him in broken whimpers, "y-you, zhong- hhhah- zhongli! only you, baby!"
he smirks. "that's right. now to fill you up with my musk so they know that as well-" his breathy words are cut off by the choked grunt that forces its way out of his throat when his large cock starts to jerk inside you. "hnhh fuck, that's it-" he growls, "take it all."
with little regard for your own satisfaction, he buries himself to the hilt and empties the warm, creamy contents of his heavy balls inside your weeping cunt as they spasm against your taint.
minutes later, you're walking arm in arm with him as a fat glob of his thick dragon seed oozes from your still-needy hole, past your inner thigh, allllll the way down to your ankle. if another man gets close enough now he'll need only breathe and he will instantly be put off with the knowledge that you've been claimed and mated by a far more powerful male.

no you guys by the series finale years and years probably decades down the line after the hubbub and awards and stars and success of the bear and their own respective careers syd and carmy are gonna return to their sheridan catering and beef of chicagoland roots. there’s gonna be a hole in the wall spot (as much as two superstar chefs can have a hole in the wall spot) in some other corner of chicago serving unique and tasteful and good yet simple food. people food. family food buddies food lunch break food tired summer heat hunger food. carmys vintage denim is framed up on the wall. family photos. sydney embroiders names of their regulars on a tapestry. people come down in groves every single day with lines looping around blocks. sometimes it’s quiet and it’s nice too because their daughter does her homework at one of the tables and looks over at them every so often to ask for a refill on her peach iced tea and a pat on the head from her dad. marcus visits from copenhagen as much as he can but it’s always on random days and on short notice but his desserts are coveted so the restaurant has to make a group chat with all the guests who wish to be notified. it’s like on whatsapp or something because not everyone has an iPhone. tina and ebra eventually retire from the bear and they each have a grandchild who come in during summer break and learn under the renowned adamu-berzatto duo (with pay). richie is in love with the bear and the upscale and rigorous and intentional pace of service but syd and carmys hole in the wall sells tshirts ala the beef and richie buys like fifteen “one for each day of the week” “I don’t think that adds up” “well I might get mayo or some shit on it” “you’re gonna get mayo on it EIGHT times?” sugar and her little family come for dinner every week and they all get the exact same thing every single time even their kids it’s almost annoying because like pick something else!this one gets three Michelin stars its first year. reviewers rave articles and more profiles get written. a netflix show features them for an episode. more and more awards for the restaurant and both chefs. its nice and syd and carmy are grateful for all of it. but theres this group of old ladies who come in after bingo on wednesdays who pull them out of the kitchen and pass on their own secret family recipes always handwritten on some kind of ripped paper or a napkin in swirly old timey cursive that syd and carmy can barely read. in these moments the blood red michelin star plaque by the door almost pales in comparison. almoooost.

Simon’s journey to find his own voice and autonomy in season 2 after being constantly tossed aside and silenced by the people around him is something that’s grown more powerful for me the more I’ve sat with the season over time. Yes, he’s a young teen who had his heartbroken and spends a lot of time in his feelings about that, but he consistently tries to take control over his life and his situation, and while he doesn’t always succeed and makes some bad decisions (Marcus being the #1 bad decision), he does it because he’s trying, in his way, to fight back on everything and everyone that’s done him dirty in the past. That’s why he sets the terms on his interactions with Wille, that’s why he quits the rowing team when he’s getting mistreated, despite believing he needs it to get better grades, that’s why he fights back against Jan-Olof for taking away his solo, that’s why he walks out on Wille when he realizes Wille hasn’t been honest with him about August, and that’s why he walks away from Sara when he discovers she also withheld the truth about August from him (and fell in love with him, no less).
Simon wants very much the same things that all of the other principle characters in the show want - love, acceptance, freedom - but unlike his privileged classmates (and even his own sister when she moves into the school and becomes one of them), he’s the one that’s always getting the short end of the stick and has to try so much harder to get what he wants, and we see him constantly fighting this throughout season 2. He doesn’t initially realize he’s fighting the same issue with Marcus - who is constantly controlling the pace of their relationship and talking over Simon - because he has it in his head that moving on should be good for him.
That’s why it’s so powerful when Simon pulls Wille aside before the Jubilee and tells him what he wants and what he’s willing to do to get it, and Wille stays completely silent and lets Simon have his voice (unlike Marcus who wouldn’t let Simon communicate his own reasons for ending their relationship and constantly speaking over him through their entire relationship), then immediately, through his speech, sets Simon free so that Simon will never have to be silenced due to his association with Wille ever again. Their relationship feels earned because Wille consciously works to undue the inequality he created in their relationship. Simon stays absolutely firm in his principles and is critical in Wille developing an understanding that actions have consequences for people outside of the sheltered bubble he grew up in, as his personal revenge on August satisfied him but did absolutely nothing for Simon. They may not know each other that well yet, but what they developed over the course of season 2 was a bond of deep respect and solidarity, and I’m more intrigued now to see how they continue to develop in the finale.

actually though, to me (and this might sound a bit meaner than i intend, truly, i'm not trying to mean here, just spitballing some thoughts), sometimes with fanon concepts it's not necessarily the transformation or alteration of characters into something they're not that bothers me so much as. hm. the general unawareness that something is a transformed concept. if that makes sense.
so like. overtly and excessively abusive and terrible drakes for example. i, clearly, am not a fan of it. but that doesn't mean it's not a concept that couldn't potentially be interesting so long as there is a general understanding that the person is aware of some of the actual canon behind the character & understand how they're specifically twisting and altering for the explicit purpose of transformation & exploring non canon things. so not like 'never touched an actual full issue of a comic at all & are only going based on what i think they are in my head' or genuinely thinking that the character or event is actually like that and are completely unaware it's going against canon & canon intentions (and this is not a 'there's only one true read thing' this is like 'the basis of how things work in canon would mean that this is probably what was meant'). if that makes sense.
like for example. a jack who is much more malicious than he is in canon & a tim that is trying to navigate being severely abused by his dad could be interesting. how does this tim handle it? does he struggle with being a victim yet having the power to stop his dad and yet also can't. is he having issues with tim drake is being abused, but robin is not (the tim/robin dichotomy). is he hiding things from his friends, like ives. is he flittering around dick, wanting to confide in dick but not wanting dick to think less of him? (does this take place during canon events, like prodigal?) are things like that happening? if so, then it's an interesting angle to me.
hell, you could even take dana and completely transform her into something she's not--rather than just a nice woman who's doing her best, is she a gold digger who preyed on her rich patient? is her niceness towards tim a facade? is trying to kill tim & jack & take the money. this clearly isn't true of her at all, but it could be a potentially interesting transformation if you have jack & tim at least acting like their canon selves around this. when does it take place? right after the wedding? when jack loses his money, does she take out a life insurance policy on him? (should she have lbr) does dana push for tim to go to brentwood to get him out of the way? does this end in bruce/jack endgame after batman saves jack? does it have references to nightwing annual 1 & the black widow story there for dick? the world may never know. (knowing dana even exists is a sign that there's some awareness of the canon that's being altered.). this wouldn't offend me as much so long as it was clear that it was an intentional alteration of canon dynamics and a clear what-if exploration.
just my thoughts.

Us nessian/anti acosf folk have the antidote for the ship war which is to literally ship and ignore canon 🤷🏻‍♀️ canon sucks yet we’ve been trooping on with it buzzing in the background like an annoying fly. What does canon matter except provide the characters to us and we can literally just write, commission, draw etc whatever we want 😂

hysterical over the fact that kon does anything and tim will be consumed by lust
tim has a competency kink. kon is generally very competent at the things he puts his mind to. do you see how this is a problem for tim? WRONG! it's not a bug it's a feature and he is having the time of his life!!!!!
kon is infodumping, either about genetics or about wendy the werewolf stalker? tim is sighing adoringly and listening intently and also being consumed by lust. kon is spinning bobbins and threading needles and essentially creating machine embroidery all with telekinesis? tim is watching in awe and also being consumed by lust. kon is recreating one of ma's famous pies with an intricately detailed decorative crust? tim is perched on the counter watching adoringly and also being consumed by lust. kon is patching up the hole in the wall where krypto terminated an annoying housefly with extreme prejudice? tim is kicking his feet while watching him spread spackle with his putty knife, admiring his technique, and also being consumed by lust. etc. you get the idea.

Say what you will, but you really can't blame Kendall Roy for thinking that his whole worth as a human being is defined by whether he can become the next Logan Roy, CEO of Waystar Royco. He's been brainwashed into thinking that his whole life, since he was 7. It took less than 39 hours of a TV show for a large chunk of the audience and people who write professional reviews to be brainwashed into thinking the same.

SFW Alphabet
John Price
Obligatory disclaimer that these are simply my onions and you are free to have your own 😌🧅
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
PDA is generally a no-go (unless you’re both off duty) but he is an old fashioned romantic at heart. He wants to kiss your hands and the top of your head and for you to cling to the crook of his arm when you’re out on the town. Lowkey but possessive.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Loyal and steadfast, always putting your needs above his own.
He was impressed with you from the start, but it blossomed into a friendship when you matched his dry humor during the infrequent but recurring instances you’d run into each other. Slowly but surely you work your way closer until you’re sniping witty remarks at one another over tea every morning.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He is such a cuddler in private. When you sleep in the same bed no matter what position you start in you always end up in a vice grip come morning. Having his strong arms wrapped around you as he kisses “five more minutes” into your shoulder is definitely not the worst way to wake up… 😳
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Price will admit he’s married to the job, but oh how he yearns. One day he’s going to settle down with you nice and proper. If you want the picket fence life he’ll give it to you, and if not he’s happy to explore wherever life takes you so long as he’s by your side.
He’s a shit cook but makes up for it by volunteering for dish duty every time.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
It would break his heart in a million jagged pieces if he let someone get that close only for it to not work out, but he’s mature. He doesn’t string anyone along and makes the break as clean and fast as he can. Always in person. Always with that sad smile.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Once he’s in, he’s all in. I think it would take him a while to propose bc he doesn’t want to tie you down to his lifestyle (if you’re non military) or damage the team dynamic (if you are military), but once he gets past that he makes it a priority to get down on one knee.
He has this grand plan compete with flowers and dinner, but it might slip out before then in a moment of pure domestic bliss. He wakes up and the sun hits your face just right or you come out of the shower with steam rolling and “marry me” just tumbles out his mouth.
Of course you’d say yes either way.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He swings to opposite sides of the spectrum on this one. Sometimes he’ll hold you like you’re made of glass, and other times he squeezes too hard, like you’ll disappear if he doesn’t.
Emotionally it’s the same. There are times he’s achingly tender and others where his temper gets the better of him. He’s always so apologetic afterwards, and tries to find ways to redirect that anger in the future but it’s definitely something he works on. The man is an emotional pressure cooker.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
He loves hugs, but he doesn’t really know how to ask for them. The more secure and comfortable in the relationship he gets, the easier this becomes for him.
His hugs are warm and all-encompassing. He loves having you tucked up against his chest, loves that extra reassuring squeeze he can give just to remind him that you’re real and you’re there and you’re his just as much as he’s yours.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
He feels it long before he says it. It’s just such a big step and even though he’s confident that what he feels for you is love, there’s a voice in the back of his head that tells him you can’t possibly feel the same, and that even if you do you shouldn’t.
He might say it first when he just can’t keep it in any more, but if you’re the one to do it he’ll be quick to say it right back.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
He doesn’t get jealous often, but when he does it’s usually around someone who can give you the things he can’t; stability, consistency, youth and carefree fun, etc. He won’t say anything (unless he’s in a mood and finds something arbitrary to snipe at them over), but he’ll snake an arm around your waist and pull you close just to prove he can. Him, and not them.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss their partner? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Strong and passionate and all-consuming and always with an edge of desperation to them. He likes to kiss anywhere he can on you, but if he’s pressed to choose he’ll say the juncture where your neck meets your shoulder, just to hear the sweet sounds you make when his whiskers tickle.
He likes to be kissed on his face. The lips are an obvious one but he absolutely melts when you kiss his cheek or his forehead or the tip of his nose. He also likes when you kiss his hands - so much blood on them and you still handle them with tenderness and a certain kind of reverence that both breaks his heart and drives him mad. 🫣💓
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
He’s the best with kids. They flock to him (you always tease it’s because he’s dad shaped and watch the tips of his ears go pink), and he talks them through their incoherent toddler babble with serious nods and follow-up questions. To see him cradling an infant to his chest is to see the gates of heaven.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Mornings on the go he makes sure you still take the time to have tea and a quick bite to eat together. Whether sitting in silence or quietly chatting about the day ahead he loves these early moments with you.
Having a lie in is a different story. You’ll wake up with his arms wound tightly around you and his breath fanning your neck. If you can convince him to get out of bed, you’ll make breakfast together. If not, you’ll have some of the best half-asleep snuggles of your life.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Cup of tea just how you like it + puttering around the sitting room doing independent activities in the same space. Maybe he’s reading or watching an evening football match, but whatever it is it’s not far from you. He 100% falls asleep on the couch in the middle of whatever he’s doing and starts to dad snore. You have many blackmail videos.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
There are some things he’ll never tell you, no matter how close you are. You have to be okay with that. What he does reveal - slowly but surely - is sad, and often shocking. He hates to be coddled over it but from the look in his eyes you know he appreciates the support and space you give him to say what he does out loud.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
The man has a short fuse, no two ways about it. He does his best, however, not to let that anger out on you.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about their partner? Do they remember every little detail they mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
How you take your tea, your favorite foods, a catalogue of your petty grievances - he remembers it all. It still takes you by surprise sometimes when he brings up the cashier who bagged your produce wrong three weeks ago, but it warms your heart to know he cares that much.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in their relationship?)
The first time he woke up apart from you and searched for your body beside his in those few half-awake blinks before consciousness. Obviously it was a bittersweet moment to realize you weren’t there, but the fact that he wanted you to be said a lot, and really solidified how much he wanted the relationship and wanted things to work out with you.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect their partner? How would they like to be protected?)
He knows you can handle yourself, but that doesn’t stop him from walking closer to the road when you’re out on the town and guiding you with a warm hand on the small of your back no matter how many times you’ve traveled the route with him. He never fully goes into ‘civilian mode’ and will sit where he can see the exits at a restaurant and check corners for threats, etc.
The only thing he needs to feel protected by you is when you reciprocate his love and make it subtle but clear nonetheless that the two of you are together.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
He’s an effort man through and through. Maybe you can’t always be together due to the demands of the job, but rest assured he has gifts planned months in advance that he’s hidden in your shared flat complete with a hand-written love letter for every birthday, anniversary, milestone, etc. If he does get to be there he completely wines and dines you old-school style, taking you to a nice restaurant and putting his jacket over your shoulders if you get cold. Maybe even if you don’t.
If it isn’t a big occasion he sometimes forgets that date nights can be as simple as going to the cinema or staying in to cook a meal together. He’s just about bursting with love, though, when you remind him by doing just that.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Obviously he indulges his vices (whiskey and cigars), but the biggest thing for him is that the job always, always comes first. Before you, before him, he will do anything to make the world a better place and pay the price he knows others won’t to keep it that way. It’s self-destructive, and as much as you can explain why it hurts to see him like that and why you wish he was more invested in coming home, you both know that if it comes down to it he will always make that tough call and stake his life on it.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He keeps himself well-groomed (hello beard maintenance!!) but he’s not too terribly concerned with his looks - that he’s willing to admit. Even though thirty-seven isn’t that old, he’s the type who took on a ton of responsibility very young and as much as that aged him prematurely, he let the people around him age him more. ‘Old Man Price’ is an easier persona to maintain than a war-torn Captain not significantly older than his team whose youth was all but stolen from him. All this to say, if he admits it to himself he is a bit self-conscious about greying early.
It helps when you tell him you find the whole silver fox thing sexy. 😘
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without their partner?)
He’s whole on his own. Lonely, but whole. He knows exactly what he’s missing out on when he doesn’t let people get close and that makes it hurt even more, so when he finally does let someone in there’s a feeling of more.
Having a loving partner makes him better, certainly, but not complete.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
He likes to grasp your chin and tilt your head up at him before he kisses you. Something about the trust and power you put in his hands at a moment like that really does it for him ❤️‍🔥
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Lived-in clutter is one thing but I think he would be genuinely upset by someone who leaves a mess in their space. Disorganization makes his brain fuzzy and angry and he couldn’t live with anyone like that successfully.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
He snores. Not obnoxiously loud but definitely audible, and only when he’s sleeping deeply. He’s mildly embarrassed by it but you think it’s cute and love watching him go ever so slightly pink in the face when you say so.
