I know what Lorenzo must be thinking: I'm crazy.
I saw it in his eyes when I first sought help to cover my tracks at the beginning of this year. I knew it was an impossible ask, to keep something so huge from our father, but I needed to leave Italy. I had spent too long there grieving for all the things I've lost. And I knew, deep down, that if I didn't leave then, I would've ended it all.
Italy no longer felt like home. It hadn't felt like one in a long time. It had become nothing more than an inescapable cage, a graveyard of nightmares on a loop.
I saw it in my brother's eyes again, the same "are you crazy?" look, when he came to my New York apartment days ago, breaking rules we've set in place, just to ensure I knew what I was doing.
I know he means well. I do. But this, on top of my overbearing father, is exactly why I couldn't take it anymore. The straw that broke the camel's back.
Because I do know what the hell I'm doing. And I'm not crazy for it.
Gio is my home, and I don't know how else to fucking explain it. I love him. I loved him then, I love him now, and I will always love him. Six years has not diminished any of it. If anything, time away has only intensified how strongly we feel for one another. Contrary to popular belief, Gio and I, we're so much bigger than a summer fling gone by. We are deeply entwined in each other's souls that no distance, time or death can keep us apart. A love like ours doesn't come very often, if at all. It's a love meant for the stars, so that our children and our children's children can look up one day and believe that standing by your love is the only way to stand.
And hell be damned if anyone tries to prove me wrong again.

+ NICOLAS / OUT ON WATCH
Tumblr media
"You don't actually find this enjoyable, do you uncle?" Eve asks as she leans against the tree trunk. They're tucked up high on a platform, several miles out from Hollow Cove and while Eve might've expressed her willingness to volunteering for watch, it isn't her preference. She glances over at Nicolas, "you're better company than I had on watch last time." A wicked grin cross her lips, "I think he was debating whether he could off me and get away with it out here." Their old coven member had glared holes through the back of her head the entire day they were on watch. She doesn't blame him but what about leaving the past in the past? A year in a facility was barely worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things when they've lived for centuries. @secrettyrant

Person: @nicolasxbianchi Location: Alpha Gauntlet Stands "Nicolas, right?" The guy was hyping up the big guy just like he'd been during the band's set. Honestly, Anders absolutely bodying that heckler earlier should have set a precedent for the kind of shit he was about to see in the ring. He's hung around that one fighting bar in town a time or two, he'd seen everyone wolf out, but this was something else. Kay made a note to ask Dante to never put him through this kind of stress, the gauntlet looked brutal.

❛You do know you cannot show someone your best without allowing them to see your worst.❜
❛Are you going to ask me to dance? One last time?❜
❛I heard it was you who found me and brought me home safe.❜
❛You are running away.❜

❛Happy endings do not exist. At least, not in real life.❜
❛We did a terrible thing.❜ com @maximeloi + james

............................................................................
PARA CHARS QUE TENHO CONEXÃO:
quero combinar algo para o luau porque quero os dracmas hehe porém a isabella é chata, a nicola tá antissocial e o james ainda de luto pelo irmão, então dificilmente iriam interagir com quem não conhecem. portanto, conto com vocês, pessoal que já temos plots. preencham abaixo essas ideias, por favor:
ISABELLA
muse 01 convenceu isabella de ir, estão sentadxs perto da fogueira, izzy um pouco impaciente enquanto muse tenta animá-la com a música que está tocando
muse 02 faz isabella provar camarão pela primeira vez e ela descobre que é alérgica, e tem que levá-la à enfermaria @juncyoon
.
JAMES
muse 03 vê james afastado e tenta animar ele dando um ukulele ou violão para ele tocar uma música @misshcrror
muse 04 vê james quase entrando numa confusão e vai impedi-lo. james não é de briga, sempre é medroso, mas ele está estressado, mau humorado, de luto, e ouviu algo que não gostou e partiu pra briga. muse impede porque sabe que james não sabe brigar @pips-plants
.
NICOLA
muse 05 e nicola numa discussão aleatória porém saudável sobre qual fruta é a mais gostosa @nyctophiliesblog
muse 06 e nicola quase sendo expulsos da roda da fogueira porque não param de pedir músicas e cantam exageradamente alto todas as canções, até a que eles não sabem @luisdeaguilar

I made this huuuuge post about all the actors we know so far that will be in the second season. Of course, I must have forgotten some, so if anyone wants to add names, feel free!
-> Bally Gill as Rashid - born 28/07/1992
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Jan Hofman - born 14/08/1986
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Matej Metodej Strunc - born 12/05/1996
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Jake Cecil as Gustave
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Khetphet "Kp" Phagnasay - born 01/02/1973
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Andrew Van Wilpe - 1993
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Jennie May Dunne
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> Not sure: Suzanne Andrade, and Esme Appleton
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are actors that were tagged in the teaser that Andrew and Roxane posted on ig or Delainey is following, but I didn't recognize them in the teaser so I'll just put the names and pictures here.
Yana Shevchenko and Arthur MacBain
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Joseph Potter (as Nicolas de Lenfent but no confirmation) and Jan Janca
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Christopher Geary, Sinead Phelps as Annika Rooman and Gleb Kuchuk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are the ones we found recently but don't forget the others that were discovered earlier this year.
source: here | here | here | here and I made a compilation here
Nikita Petrosian as Levan | Petras Šimonis as Sasha(?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Filip Finkelstejn as Maxim | Diana Giubernea as Sofia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elander Moore as Malik | Blake Ritson as Morgan Ward
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Raul Olteanu as Andrei without any information or photos.
Fun facts: -> Luke Brandon Field and Elander Moore were already following Bally Gill before we even found out about him. -> Petras has been following Filip since the time he emerged as part of the cast and is now following Andrew.
There are those questions, some actors may be part of the cast in episode one with Morgan (Blake Ritson). They could be military or someone who will cross Louis and Claudia's path before they get to Paris (or military in Paris) or they could be more vampires from Paris, or they could be someone from Dubai. Or I don't know, because I'm so anxious.

Think op of the criminal investigation ask was referring to this;
Nicola Sturgeon faces criminal investigation over deleted ... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/21/nicola-sturgeon-criminal-investigation-deleted-whatsapps/
Inaccurate article, it says a complaint may be lodged with the police.
Big difference between being charged and some telegraph journalist’s wanking fantasy

Temporal
By: Julian Simpson, Richard MacLean Smith, Bec Boey, Nosa Igbinedion
Narrated by: Nicola Walker, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jessie Mei Li, Steven Mackintosh, Mark Bazeley, Jana Carpenter, Kyle Soller, Phoebe Fox, Barnaby Kay, Rebecca Boey, Danielle Lewis, Don Gilet, Ferdinand Kingsley, full cast
Length: 4 hrs and 26 mins
Original Recording Audiobook
Release date: 01-08-24
Language: English
Publisher: Audible Originals
Summary
A gripping, full-cast science-fiction drama for fans of time travel, conspiracy theories, and unexplained phenomena.
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes.
Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.
But is Earth safe? Could the Vanishing happen again?
To get answers, two teams are launched back in time–one to New York City before the Vanishing; another to follow a bizarre trail of clues through history, from Area 51 to the lost Roanoke colony, and beyond.
There are forces, though, that don’t want the Temporal mission to succeed. And a mysterious being whose own agenda might destroy them all.

Nicola couldn't believe it. For the first time in her life, she was in Laglio, Italy.
Her mother, Eleonora — may God bless her soul — had often spoken about Laglio when she was still alive. It was better than any bedtime story little Nicola could've ever asked for. The place sounded magical. Otherworldly, even. And Nicola had dreamed of nothing more than to be able to go.
Their family used to visit every summer, her mother said, but not since her cancer had relapsed.
As a child, it was difficult to understand at first — her mother's illness, the extra precautions they had to take to ensure her well-being, and why they simply couldn't leave Milan. But as her mother's condition worsened, Nicola knew she'd rather be by her side than be anywhere else without her.
But fate wasn't so kind.
When her mother passed, nothing was ever the same. No one spoke of it, but it hung in the air like death.
So, when her father suggested that Nicola go to a boarding school in his own hometown of Sicily, the youngest Zanetta did not argue. She figured this was the best chance she had to escape the darkness that shrouded her family, and their home. But no distance or time could keep her from thinking about her mother, or the wondrous place that was Laglio.
With her curiosity getting the best of her, Nicola eventually spoke up, asking to do what they had always done and visit Laglio for the summer. But Antonio shut her down every chance he got. No one was to go. Not Nicola, not Lorenzo, not even Antonio himself. This was the iron-clad rule.
That was, until the summer of her eighteenth birthday.
***
"Hello?" Nicola cocked her head at an angle. Lorenzo had just introduced her to his best friend, Giovanni, but he just looked at her. Was there something on her face? She wondered, itching to brush away anything off her face that might embarrass her.
Thankfully, Lorenzo broke the silence before it got to be too long. And thankfully, he didn't seem to notice the inexplicable tension between the two.
"C'mon," Lorenzo chuckled, ushering his best friend off the beach with a good-natured pat on the back. "Let's get you a beer, hm?"
Gathering around the picnic table, Lorenzo passed Giovanni an ice cold beer before diving for some fresh fruit for himself. "We've got lots of other stuff here, too," he mumbled, mid-watermelon. "Just help yourself."
But neither Nicola nor Giovanni were listening.
Nicola couldn't help it. His eyes. His eyes, and the way he looked at her had her core stirring in ways she couldn't quite put words to.
"Here, have some," Nicola spoke directly to Giovanni as she offered him a slice of chocolate cake. Her voice was barely above a whisper, breathless by the sheer sight of him. "It's for my birthday," she said. "You should enjoy yourself. You know, for me..."
* All conversations are in Italian.

Hi! Younger artist here, I just saw your post with all those super cool monster designs and I took a quick stroll through your blog, and I was wondering if you had any specific inspirations for those designs or where you get inspo for character designs in general? Or perhaps some tidbits on how you learned how to make wild designs like that?
Sorry if this is a bit of a big ask, I just think it's really cool and I was curious!
Hello! Thank you for your question and apologies for taking so long to answer, I just got really excited and wanted to be thorough! 
My biggest piece of advice is research and develop a visual library of reference material! Your visual library is like a mental database of everything you’ve ever seen in your life, and this is what you can pull from to design concepts. 
There are a couple ways to start this as a practice: 
Notice what you see! It can be a chair, a sunset, a shoe, the light on a tree, but if you see something you think is beautiful or interesting, mentally make a note of it!
Document what you like! With computers and cameras this is a lot easier to do nowadays, but if you see something interesting to you, document it. You can draw it, or take/save a photo to folder. 
Organize it! I highly recommend coming up with a system for referencing back to find things, either through image tags or folders or even a manual filing system. 
Pay attention to your personal preferences and experiences. Try to think about what draws you to certain visual elements, identifying them can lead you to more things you like. Also pay attention to what you don’t like and why, it doesn’t necessarily need to be bad or amoral, we all have personal tastes. 
Get out of your comfort zone! I recommend trying to see something you’ve never seen before often. Find a new artist, a new genre, research a new type of design movement, go to a new place, etc. 
Try to find context for your research! For example, If you really love a specific era of fashion, research that time period and the way historical context informs it. Context can be really important, especially if you are working with references new to you!
Important Note 01: You don’t want to copy or rip-off these things. In my experience the best way to avoid that is to have a lot of reference points for any project and embrace your authentic personal interests, experiences, and identity. 
Important Note 02: Like any research, be conscious of primary person vs secondary sources! One is not better than another necessarily, but I find I work my best with a  mix of both. I like to start with primary sources and then move to secondary sources, Ie: looking at authentic suits of armor before moving to contemporary armor concept art. You don’t have to do this, it’s just something I find helpful. 
Important Note 03: While mostly I’m referring to visual references, audio, music, and writing are also super helpful!
Ok now, how do you curate all that for a project. For those monster illustrations I wanted to explore how color can be horrific. Keywords: Color & Horror. So I start looking through references for things that have the effect I want color wise, vivid and maximalist, and things that I find scary or horrifying. Here are some of the things I knew about or discovered during the research process that had the vibe I wanted. 
Notable Influences 
Color and Design 
Peruvian & Guatemalan Textiles and Traditional Clothing 
Spanish Traditional/Folk Clothing 
Sammezzano Castle, Italy
Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, Iran
Russian Traditional/Folk Costumes 
Fonthill Castle, Pennsylvania
Zhangye National Geopark
Nick Cave - sculpture artist
Lousie Zhang
Magnhild Kennedy - “Damselfrau”
Horror
Catacomb Saints
Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo
Japanese Yokai
Greek & Roman Mythology
Mandrills & Monkeys
Charles Fréger’s Photographs of  European Pagan Costuming
Avant Garde Fashion
Alexander McQueen
Vedas by  Nicolas Alan Cope and Dustin Edward Arnold 
Stephen Jones - Hats
Mummies
Reliquaries
Marina González Eme
Lorenzo Nanni
H.R Giger
Intersections of Color & Horror
Microscopic Imagery
Moths, Beetles & Shrimp
Suspiria (1977)
AJ Fosik
Hungry | Johannes J. Jaruraak
Once you’ve gathered these references in one place (like a moodboard, folder,  or Pinterest board) It’s time to pay attention to wear aesthetics intersect, what patterns are coming up, what proportions of color, what textures reoccur, what elements of clothing reoccur, etc.. What relationship do different images have with each other, what emotional effect do they create. 
Now that you’ve studied up, it’s time to sketch, try and create things that feel similar to the work you are looking at but not copy it, instead try mixing things together. Experiment! Let your personal style and preferences sink in! Interpret what you’ve learned!
From there, it’s more of a design process, how to use proportion, light, anatomy, perspective, form, repetition, etc, to create the desired effect. Then you refine and refine.
For new or different projects you repeat the process, maybe you use similar points of reference, maybe you go a completely different direction. 
Anyway that was long, but I hope it was helpful!
