The east cloister enjoys a view of the central patio, seen through double columns set on either side of sliding glass panels. The Pompeian figures are terra-cotta. The breakfast table is used for most informal meals.

mandy and the birth of venus print she has taped up on her wall...........literally SO special to me OML
something something venus, goddess of love and beauty and victory, born from seafoam.
daughter of the god of the sky—your existence the result of time cutting him down. blood in water, flesh bobbing to the surface. and then there you were. you surely never had a past. you simply appeared one day fully formed, exactly as you are now. or at least you wish you had. and sometimes you feel like you can almost believe that.
thinking about a nook tucked away into a corner of the world, the parted maw of a seashell. about the word venus having ties to the word vanus in sanskrit. about the fact that it roughly translates into "to desire".
about how languages are adopted and morphed and hobbled together into something new. about a newness that is made by necessity, by force.
something something a life of longing and wanting. keeping a doll on your bed because you're always carrying around the ghost of who you were as a child. she's always there, even when you don't want her to be. hedging all your belief on a creator that was irrevocably severed from you from the very start. looking for beauty in all that blood. something something

Im still making progress on my house! Im very pleased with it
In more unpleasant news I’ve completely ruined my sleep schedule so who knows how this next week will go
The living room and upstairs enchantment area!
I just finished the cellar, and am working on the create lab, so I can have all the tools i need to make the big machines, the upstairs is done for the most part, I didnt feel like decorating too much up there since its a flight landing more than a bedroom, but ill get pictures next time :3
