the book of the lover and the beloved (c. 1300) - ramon llull

“my beloved: medieval babies” (talking about the guy below)

finally, josh hutcherson has reclaimed his place as prime white boy of the month. the world is healing.

Newborn CJ and Raph taking a nice nap. I’ll tell ya right now, as someone who has held babies: it’s fucking terrifying. But what I do like is when they are sleepy. It’s nice to have a warm potato sack gently breathing on your chest. I have no doubts that Raph would eat that kind of time up. Get himself centered again.

Commission for @0ce4n-m4n's character Star Baby!

"John is not Yellow. He’s gold, Arthur."

Breaking Dawn au where Bella actually just had food poisioning but they rush back to Forks anyway convinced she's pregnant. So Carlisle gets all this high tech doctor stuff, preparing himself for that fact that he has to operate on Bella. Then Bella's fine. Carlisle has a very long talk with Edward. Emmett brings this incident up for the rest of eternity.

Happy lazy mornings 🧡💚

redraw of baby's first bsd art. original's under the cut!

this bad boy's from january 26, 2023. fun times. it was only a year ago but i still want to implode within myself whenever i look at it for too long LMAO

Frame Redraw!

Not seeing many people talking about it, but for me this scene was more touching.

Aziraphale's love for humans and Earth was more visible here than in episode 2 in my opinion, and I really wanted to make some art out of it. So I redrew the frame, though with some other interpretations.

Anyways, loved doing this, spiced it with some art-nouveau style.

Also I have the linearts too if you want to color it. I know, Tumblr isn't the best with HQ quality. But if you want to color it, comment and I'll add a link to reach them. ^^

And here's the fully rendered painting, with the frame too.

(Sorry I removed the beard, I couldn't stop myself. But the bowtie stays on)

(I had a strong will to paint the bebe's hair/wing color black/yellow because of the Bentley, but it reminded me too much of Castiel then)

Here's the drive file for all you lovely people who'd love to color it too!!

With PNG and PDF files too either with or without backgrounds ^^

SO this! is about this specific entry in Burchard's Diary--

The Diary of John Burchard, trans. A. H. Mathew

--and the APERITIO ORIS rite (the mouth thing they keep talking about), but it's also a little about Ascanio's friction with the Vatican and the della Rovere-Ascanio rivalry

Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, David Chambers

can i have a regressor moodboard inspired by renaissance paintings? my favorite is the birth of venus, so i would love it=f it was centered around that? no specific gender, any work, paci, no deco?

Absolutely!!

This is blasphemous, but I think Carmen was more excited to meet Bella than Esme was.

another thing about twilight. why is it that bella never ever seems to care that the cullens — imo carlisle especially — only care about her literally because they love edward? like of course that is majority of in-law situations in life, like i know that. but bella is like “this is my family! this is where i belong and who i belong with!” and then they all just up and leave her the moment edward tells them to. carlisle especially only seems to care about her imo (beyond the fact that he cares for all human lives) because he cares about edward. idk i would feel some kind of way about the cullens if they literally took me in and then dropped me like a hot potato based off whatever edward felt on any given day.

in a way alice is better and in a way she’s worse on this front. like okay, she and bella are best friends, that much is true. one of the things i will give stephenie meyers (because she’s nowhere near as bad as people claim. stephen king has no business criticizing her when his stories are some of the worst i’ve ever encountered) is she does create and develop actual believable friendships and relationships. bella and alice are very close and lovey dovey. but that makes it worse imo when alice abandons her alongside edward. because her friendship with bella is literally contingent on edward.

but at the same time she does have an actual relationship with bella and you get that she wanted what edward thought was best for bella’s life and she loves her and her heart is in the right place and all that good stuff. but idk. for me, if i were in that situation, i wouldn’t have taken the cullens in as warmly again in eclipse. like bella is all like “my family! we’re all together again!” when in reality i, and i think anyone with enough self-esteem, would be much colder to them. more distant and less open. because even if she’s taken edward back — because really his side of the leaving fiasco is actually more understandable than the entire family’s ditching her and then wanting to act like nothing ever happened seven months later — his family still proved that she’s merely an extension of edward to them. they’re a family, they’ve been a family for around 75-100 years. they’ve been together, functioning as a family unit town to town since before her grandparents were born. like she’s just a modern teenage girl who the one unmarried brother fell in love with and brought along for the ride. like they all abandoned her and had the whole thing with edward/alice/cliff diving/volturi not occurred then the entire family would have just never contacted her again in her life. idk. i get the impression more so from carlisle than any of the others but bella’s whole open heart, open arms thing is sadly pathetic. because she’s clinging to a family that could take or leave her at a moment’s notice.

and honestly some lots may disagree but i do highkey appreciate the fact that stephenie meyers tried to rectify a lot of people’s criticisms with bella, in midnight sun. like she tried to retroactively make it seem like a lot of the “bella is a parentified child and she’s so mature because she doesn’t mind it at all” “bella takes care of her parents because she’s old for her age” was just a first person character blindness on bella’s part and it was actually really messed up in edward’s eyes the way her parents treated her and how it shaped her personality. but personally i wish SM would have included edward realizing bella has a really low self-esteem and that’s why she takes whatever kind of love people offer her without complaint and resentment even after they’ve done her dirty, not because “the cullens are so amazing” and “i’m so lucky to belong with them!”
