Alessandro Pianon, Pulcini bird sculptures.  Mid-20th-century, Italian, Murano glass.

Alessandro Pianon (1931-1984) was born in Venice.  After his studies at the Architecture School, he joined Vetreria Vistosi in 1956. He was supposed to create a new logo for the family-owned enterprise.  One thing led to another, showing that Pianon had a great talent for designing glass.  He designed numerous vases, bottles and lamps for Vistosi, including an outstanding series of birds ( « Pulcini »), in 1962.

In the same year, he opened his own studio and started collaborating with many companies, including Lumenform for example.

thinking about naruto daemon aus again and sakura growing into her big ass predator daemon,,, something something Womanhood and Girlhood and staying soft and sharp

(on that same note, we need more daemon aus and i think you and i could populate the tag. im holding out my hand rn ;P)

I AM SO READY TO TAKE YOUR HAND

i just need you to do one thing for me, and that thing is figure out what everyone's daemon is named because i HATE naming things and this is quite literally the one barrier keeping me from this AU.

also, the forest of death is a place where daemon's can't go, and when they decide to go into the forest during the chuunin exam they have to leave their soul's heart behind, and sakura never forgives herself for it because she knows they are not ready for this (they as in: sakura and her heart. they as in: team 7 fed to the maw of konoha's wars and sakura knows that they will not survive this.). her heart does not return to her until they barely recognize one another, because sakura's journey is one of learning herself as something other than reflections she has traced across the mirror of her body like that could make her something worth loving. she must learn again how to hold her heart in her hands, her heart must learn forgiveness for every selfishness, every selflessness.

What she says: I’m fine.

What she means: I understand the Chronicles of Narnia was at its heart a fairytale with theological analogies for children. But why did Lewis never address how they had to adapted to life on Earth again. Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth and be children. Take Lucy, she was youngest and perhaps she adapted more quickly-but she had the memories and mind of a grown woman in an adolescent body. Edmund literally found himself in Narnia, he went from a selfish boy to mature and experienced man. He found a purpose and identity through his experiences to come back as just Edmund, Peter’s younger brother. Did people wonder why the sullen, sour boy came back, carrying himself like a wisened king? Did his mother wonder why he and Peter suddenly got along so well, why they spent so much time together now? And Susan, the girl of logistics and reason came back with a difference in her. She learned how to be a diplomat and ambassador, Susan the Gentle had to live to endure not-so-gentle circumstances. She had the respect she wanted, only to be just another teen girl. And Peter, he entered the manhood and maturity he so wanted. He earned the responsibility and stripes he yearned for. He learned to command armies and conduct the menial tasks demanded of a king to rule a nation. But he came back, appearing to be just anther glory-hungry boy. Not to mention the PTSD they must have struggled with. Especially Edmund. How often did he wake up in a sweat, screaming a sibling or comrade’s name? His parents believe it’s the war, but it’s an entirely different one he has nightmares about. How often did he have trouble with flashbacks and mood swings? And how many times did he and Peter sit over a newspaper or near the radio listening to reports on the troops. How often did they pour over lost battles and debate better strategies. Did their parents ever wonder why they seemed to understand flight war so well? How long was it before they stopped discussing these things in front of people? Why does no one talk about this???

people slipping up and saying shit like “biological name” instead of “deadname” is more or less proof these people don’t actually care about real science they just want smart sounding words and i guarantee if we could manipulate chromosomes they’d abandon all pretext of science and start yammering about how people are born with a “masculine/feminine essence” that “cant be changed” like none of these people actually know the chromosomes real fuckin function and they dont care they just know they cant be changed

elizabeth bennet said "i can't fix him nor would I for a million dollars" and fitzwilliam darcy said "wait she thinks I need to be fixed? .... she's right, I've gotta work on myself and learn how to be more understanding and generous" and then he did. and elizabeth was like "shit.... he's so understanding and generous now.... makes me realize that my stubbornness and pride in my discernment are obstacles in the lives of myself and others" and then they got married and that's why pride and prejudice has been a bestseller for two hundred years

i loooove toxic and codependent relationships in fiction. they are so narratively juicy. if they don’t even warp and mangle each other to the point they create a single, fucked up entity then what’s the point.

[deadgirldrowning]

i love stories about betrayal i love depravity i love tragedy i love miscommunication i love backstabbing i love when characters encourage each other to be worse i love dysfunctional partners i love misfits & i love it most of all when they are bisexual

[deadgirldrowning]

i know it's a little bit toxic but nothing is more satisfying to me than when a fictional character who is generally very dignified, polite, and calm even under pressure is finally persuaded to unleash their anger and it fucking explodes out of them with enough molten volcanic rage to level entire cities

There is something so special about teen superhero team dynamics, from Power Rangers to magical girls and everything in between.

I help you fight evil. I let you sleep on my lap when we get back home. I know everything about you, things your parents never will. We've almost died together. We study for tests together. We are discovering ourselves. I hope I still know you in ten years. You turned evil once. I still got you a birthday present.

I just want my OTP to derrive meaning from each other in a way that would be incredibly unhealthy and codependent if two people did that in real life but is profoundly poetic and romantic within the context of a fictional piece of media in consuming.

there’s nothing better than a character’s flaws stemming directly from their strengths. that’s where tragedy comes from, babeeeeee

[deadgirldrowning]

mutual pining IS the best trope. no they’re not trying to move on, no they’re not brave enough to risk it, no they’re not trying to date other people, they don’t know they can have it but it’s okay if they can’t (but they CAN)

[deadgirldrowning]

characters who have an unwavering sense of duty my beloved

[deadgirldrowning]

the (female) protagonist going off the deep end and becoming the big bad is something i would unironically like to see more of tbh.

bitches will be like “my ot3 💕💕” and it’s a woman who could murder them, a guy who hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in six years, and another guy who almost got both of the other two murdered. it’s me i’m bitches
