there’s nothing like wearing an unseen university shirt out and about to attract every single discworld fan within a five mile radius

breakfast at tiffany's, along with afternoon tea. had the pleasure of indulging in the most delicious finger sandwiches ever! the pastries were so soft and buttery smooth, they made for a perfect snack. i would have much preferred to wear a tiffany blue coord for the occasion, but all of my sax items were quite a few shades too light in comparison.. maybe next time!

I think one of the best things about having a multi (and my friends also having multis) is being able to create these really interconnected worlds with multiple characters and dynamics between them. It's my favorite thing in rp / writing

[anonymusbosch]

replacing "kink at pride" discourse with "kink at the bougie-ass smoothie shop hawking acai smoothies for like $14 and hanging up a poster for Pride as if that's anything." if a place has pride posters up then you should get AT LEAST a 10% discount for wearing one of those puppy masks or having freaky transgender sex in the store

Fearful Building Renovations - Karen Nelson/Valak/Lea the Clown Cafe Host/Tiffany Valentine

A/N: Day 15 aka Prompt E for @domaystic .

Karen Nelson had welcomed Lea to her home when the woman’s home was under building renovations, finding herself holding a little more tightly to Tiffany, her loyal doll and lover, her eyes locked on the strange demonic nun who had come with Lea.     Lea, the Clown Cafe Host, had gone to work, leaving Karen at home with the Nun and her doll, coming home to find Valak talking quietly to Karen, stroking soft hair and clearly doing all she could to put the girl at ease. Tiffany, now in her human form, walks quietly to settle beside her.  At first Lea had been unsure what Tiffany was, soon learning that Tiffany’s soul was able to use both the Doll and her human forms, the woman’s human form often at rest when she uses her Doll form.     The four women, doll, nun or otherwise, settle into a regular domestic routine slowly, Tiffany and Valak bonding as they work to protect both Karen, who is still a little nervous around people, and Lea, who had come home with Valak after the demonic Nun rescued her from a killer clown. The four soon find an ease between them, Karen finding herself charmed by Lea and the girls quiet ease with both Tiffany and Valak.

Never getting over this

[triviareads]

Reading The Last Good Knight had me thinking about the law and kink because the legal system screwed Lance over when it came to getting custody of his kids because his ex outed his sexual proclivities.

Anyway I was imagining what it would be like to be the king of kink Kingsley Edge's lawyer and then I realized I didn't have to because we do meet his lawyer at some point in the Original Sinner series; she's an older woman named Maggie who's high powered attorney and King's sub until she meets and marries a 28 year old librarian dom who's infamous for his stare nicknamed "The Ouch".

Other people want Tiffanie to have a nice, sweet & positive sort of girlfriend.

Then I swing in like 'no, give her a girl who literally has no idea how to be human'. And plops Zero down. HBDCSHBD

Take a Walk 06/30/2023

Welcome back to my daily walk diaries. Today we walked around between 5th ave and Park Ave because I was going to check out the Morgan Library & Museum (which if you live in NYC and you didn't know they have free friday's, they do). Anyways I was a little early for the entry time so I walked around and here were the buildings that caught my eye. If you want to listen to the music I was listening to while you read this, I made a playlist of it. Buckle in, this might be a long one.

Edit: As I was writing this entry I accidentally deleted ~1.5 hrs of work so Im going to keep this rewrite real brief. sry :/

The Robb House

Built 1892

Architect: Stanford White

Fellow Architect/architectural critic of the time Russel Sturgis (who I love) said of this building, "not a palace, but a fit dwelling house for a first-rate citizen."

Curious as to whether one of those medallions on the third floor was replaced since they're slightly different.

The Haviland Building/Lightolier Building/Morgan Lofts

Built 1912, unknown architect

The interesting split facades and bell tower are without a doubt what grabbed my eye.

Funny enough they also stood out on the back of the building when I took a trip around the block without even realizing they were the same building!

Next we have Tiffany & Co.'s second building, built after their previous cast-iron store at Union Square, and as a posthumous completion in honor of Tiffany founder, Charles Tiffany.

Built 1905

Architect: Stanford White! (yes again)

Just look at those Corinthian orders! This building is massive.

(Now is probably a good time to bring up my camera situation.) I've been shooting these on my iPhone 8 mainly because my only other camera is film, and because of it's convenience. However I may end up getting another camera so that my pictures don't come out with such poor quality. (I wish I remember how I worded this during the first take of this post, it was much better)

This is the CUNY Graduates Building, formerly known as its original identity the B. Altman department store. The past 3 buildings in fact were part of a push up 5th ave from Barclay's St downtown where Haviland's, Tiffany's, and Altman all had stores previously.

Built 1906

Architect: Trowbridge & Livingston

The back of the Altman building has this interesting moment where seemingly 3 portions of the building meet. I say 3 instead of the obvious division of the top addition only because if you look closely at the roof overhang on the left, it turns 90 degrees into the building before the 4th window in.

Regardless this transition between is artfully done both between the front and the back, as well as between the base and the upper addition in the reference but not direct copying of window/facade themes.

The Stewart Building

Built 1914

Architect: Whitney Warren

(Bonus picture of the proximity to the Empire State Building)

Right across the street from the Tiffany building lies this beautifully ornamented loft/department building with terracotta tiles said to resemble Josiah Wedgwood jasperware pottery.

Before we get to the Chrysler building this building caught my eye with it's geometric ornamentation on the facade of the building, which I assumed was to fit in amongst the foothills of such an icon in Art Deco Architecture.

This is the Socony-Mobil Building

Built in 1956

Architect: Harrison & Abramovitz

The Icon in question, The Chrysler Building.

Built 1930

Architect: William Van Allen

There is a wealth of knowledge on the internet about this art deco beauty, but I'm just going to give you my brief takeaway.

First, that entry way!!! I'm in love, its so grand and those angles are so pleasing to look at. There is one on each side of the building facing the street and boy oh boy it does not lose it's charm the second time you see it.

I also wanted to point out that, um, the base of the building is not centered????? I had literally no idea prior to this but if you look, in the third picture there are three bays of windows to the right of the center and five bays to the left. No your eyes aren't tricking you that's really how it looks in person.

In the tune of imperfections to such a seemingly pristine design, the backwall isn't actually perpendicular to the road or to the rest of the building. It wanders off at some other angle as seen in the fourth picture.

I give it a 9/10 still, it's imperfections are even more reason to love it. They give it an organic beauty that art deco even tends to reference and emphasize, the beauty in natural forms.

Right around the corner of the Chrysler Building is Tudor City, and here are just some highlights. In the order of most difficult things to photograph, these buildings are all built up in a style I like to call the princess tower style with an elaborate penthouse on top. Here are some of the highlights of this group of blocks on the east side.

45 Tudor City Pl. (pics 1 & 2) aka Prospect Tower & St. Albans Church Built 1927, the worlds first residential housing skyscraper Architect: H. Douglas Ives

Around the corner (which regrettably is not pictured) is Harry Osborne's penthouse in the Spider-man movies at 5 Tudor City Pl. aka Windsor Tower

The Church of the Covenant (pic 3) Built 1871 Architect: J. Cleveland Cady

Woodstock Tower (pic 4) Built 1929 Architect: H. Douglas Ives

(pics 5-7) The Cloister & The Manor Built 1927 & 1928 Architect: H. Douglas Ives I think this is also an interesting marrying of facade courses.

My interpretation of Nica and Andy bounces between they can fix each other and they can make each other worse.

[alltimefail-sims]

CVA seeks mural artists for Landmark building

Love! This!

WAUSAU – The Center for the Visual Arts in partnership with Rocket Industrial invites design proposals from mural artists for a site-specific mural in downtown Wausau. This new mural will be on the historic Landmark building at the intersection of Scott and North Second streets. “A mural of this size and location has tremendous opportunity to add to the value of our community,” said Tiffany…
