Thunderbolts rant...

okay so when I was making this post, there were a few I struggled to find origional references for and two of them in particular are driving me INSANE

so if anyone has any ideas PLEASE share 🙏

----------- ☆ ☆ ☆ -----------

so the main one that's bugging me is this John Walker one:

because I love it and I KNOW it reminds me of something but idk what 😩

I study fine art and art history at uni so a few 19th ish century oil paintings sprung to mind but when I googled them they just didn't feel right

this painting by Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier, and this painting by Alfred Jacob Miller are the closest two out of the few I thought of off the top of my head but idk

PLEASE lmk if you have any ideas because it's been driving me crazy for weeks 😃

----------- ☆ ☆ ☆ -----------

I also really like this one of Alexei giving a little girl a flower it's super cute:

the first image kinda gives me Banksy vibes??

but maybe I'm just a big art nerd and I need to calm down 💀

idk this one doesn't really bug me as much as the John Walker one but I'm still curious about what it could be referencing so if you have any ideas please let me know

I love it though it's so cute <3

Q45:"First thing you notice about a person?"

Hmmm i notice the eyes first but a close tie would probably be if they have tattoos or not, I personally love tattoos but thats also just because I'm an art nerd 👉👈💕

TL;DR Hey, I’m reading into stuff (character design, I will never stfu about the rottmnt character design) again. Overthinking it like a true Donnie kinnie 🫡

So, I thought the mask tails were in order of age in rise. But, I’m unclear on which mask tails between Donnie & Mikey and Leo & Raph’s are longer/shorter. BUT. Another thing with their mask tails is that the two younger have shorter mask tails and the two older have longer mask tails (I’m a firm younger twin Donnie believer.) Furthermore, when we look at, for example,

MIKEY’S mask tails, they’re quite symbolic of him as a character.

They’re the only ones that are really rounded to that extent (Leo’s are more rounded too, but in a longer and less bubbly/circle way) Mikey is a fun, bubbly, optimistic character. Hence why Mikey=circle. They’re also shaped kind of like a paintbrush - the actual brush part, that is - which is interesting.

LEO’S are more triangular and curve much like his sword. Also, since they’re longer, we don’t see them very often (same with Raph’s) because of how the physics of the mask tails work.

The reason for Leo being a triangle, I’m not entirely sure. But my working theory (haven’t read anywhere why, though it’s likely somewhere) is because a lot about him is sharp. Sword, markings, face, body shape, mask tails. However, his personality is, ironically, the opposite. He’s also the more fun type, and definitely not a villain - even if he may see himself as one or, at least, the ‘blame’ during the movie - (sharp angles in character design are typically associated with villains) But his mask tails being a rounded triangle is really interesting. It’s like he’s smoothing out his personality (cough, cough, face man.) but he’s still “sharp” (loud, ‘annoying’, funny, quick-witted.)

RAPH, I don’t know too too much about, however- you also don’t often see the tails of his mask (because it, like Leo’s, is longer.) It’s jagged like his shell (again, ironic, because he’s pretty much a big softie - although on both the exterior and interior, he is/can be very tough.) He’s harsh on himself more so than he is on his brothers, taking it as his duty to protect them, to lead them, to keep them from harm.

I refuse to retype what I just typed, so I took a photo:

OK, so for DONNIE, I don’t have really anything to say (because I’m tired and my phone’s overheating ^^ he’s still my favourite and I love him dearly.)

But, his mask tails are more rectangular. Donnie = Rectangle, as we all know. (Galactic forehead, cough cough) And Donnie’s mask tails, with him being a younger brother and his mask tails being shorter, are more visible (again, physics.)

That’s it, he’s a rectangle. Shape language and such that goes more into his personality, yadda yadda, like I said - tired.

Anywho, that’s also a big part of a point that could be made about the episode(s) where they went through more formal training and their outfits were completely the same. They were one, completely. Raph and Leo even mind melded. But, that also means they weren’t themselves (we be we, baby.)

This is also a very long winded way of saying Donnie is the younger twin (I accept no other answers (jk ^^))

So, I hope somebody actually reads this rant. And, remember, I know this likely might not actually mean anything. I’m an analyst. I love their character designs I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

But, that’s just a theory… a game theory!!

Btw, ai generated images are not "more accessible art" because art is inherently accessible. Art in it's purest form is inherently accessible, because it literally has no rules or requirements outside of human expression put into it. Is you a human being capable of thinkin n havin emotions? Good, you can make art.

New little post up on the blog... A gnosis-poem with a hint of music.

[emotionalsupportgoblin420]

Meme based off of a real interaction I had with my Monet shirt:

(For the record I did not react like this when they assumed it was Van Gogh on my shirt. I just thought of this meme after the interaction as a JOKE. I'm not that pressed about whether or not someone knows Monet. It's just a funny haha meme)

[haunted-vespera]

Officially introducing myself:3(lightly edited version)

HI 👋 I'm Haunted-vespera (or ves/vespie/vespera) ! I'm 16 y/o , I'm a writer, singer, theater and choir nerd, and a total loser Xp

I love art, whether 'traditional' or digital, art is amazing! I may occasionally reblog partial nudity in art as I love classic sculptures and figure painting, and they occasionally can contain exposed body parts.

I love theater and music, my favorite musical is Beetlejuice! I write for fun and sometimes it can be a bit before an update happens:).

I will try to keep this a generally positive and fun zone, but some reposting of major issues will occur.

I'm scene/emo/ goth, so I will post about those subcultures sometimes! I'll tag my lil chats as #vesperatalks

I love reading and I'm always open to book recs, so if you have any please send them!!!!

My writing is going to be tagged as #nightshadewrites

My music/ theater stuff will be under #vespiesings :)

I'll tag any random things and stuff as #randomves (bugs,plants, Animal and stuff)

Also!!!!

Have y'all ever stopped to think that the bullshit we often write n' draw on our school bathrooms walls n' doors is basically art?
