“LXIV There are three ways to master death. Here is the third one (the one Anna Xenia told me on the way home from Orvieto). Signorelli is painting late in his studio when they carry in his son, killed in a riot. He sits up all night with the body, making sketch after sketch, and throwing them into a pile. From that time all his angels have the one same face.”

Bonus:

I think a common misconception is that lesbian, gay, bisexual are "neat little boxes" that a lot of people don't fit into but that's not the case. Each label encapsulates a lot of different experiences and approaches to attraction. A lesbian that doesn't want sex is still a lesbian, a bi person who struggles to tell the difference between platonic, romantic and sexual feelings which differs or doesn't differ according to gender can still be bi. A gay man who isn't all that interested in dating is still gay. These are not limiting labels and not every person who uses an lgb label feels exactly the same about attraction.

A collage of words spoken by Pop Pius XII that I’ve taken inspiration from and made into a monologue

My God, My God, why have you forsaken me, it all comes back to this in the end I inquired about you... father and mother what’s not wrong? It’s death to settle for things in life, my only sin is that my conscious does not accuse me of anything... the past is an enormous place with all sorts of things inside, there is only room for one pair of eyes... mine, I will never share my aversion for they only pass through, the most pressing issue in the name of the church in which my predecessors so prudently let go? I wouldn’t need to hide anything in the gaps of my house because my mind is a gap and everything that is hidden sooner or later is revealed, not only that, I am intransigent, irritable, vindictive, and I have a prodigious memory, and now I want to make my confession... I believe only in myself I am The Lord omnipotent... no, not a saint... they’ve turned me into a legend

Been years since I've posted anything but here’s some selfies and a drawing i made!!!
