🔶🔸⚜️Golden Renaissance⚜️🔸🔶

Kinda obsessed with the historical context of Rise of the Guardians. Pitch wanting the Dark Ages to come back, which historically was the decline of culture and records. The Guardians rose at the same time as the Renaissance with the rise of culture, knowledge, and science. (Tooth in particular mentions that she hasn’t been out in the field for 440 years, give or take, which would put that smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance) 

The way Pitch doesn’t want the world to change, the way the Guardians change in tune with the world. The way Jack, who lived in has a human in the 17th or 18th century, who lived in the time after the Renaissance and lived witnessing the world all the way to the modern era, is there to show the Guardians how much they missed and how they can further change and improve for the more modern world. These characters are immortal beings who have so much power over the world, it makes so much sense that when they fall and rise in power it impacts the world that they want to influence, for better or for worse.

like, i think that neon white is obviously gunning for the 'embrace your inner cringe' ethos, but it doesn't work for me because my cringe middle school self wasn't drawing edgy half-demon half-vampire anime twinks with 100 belts, she was sneering at those people for not understanding that Real Art was writing a 10,000 word dictionary for your conlang for your fantasy world thats Like DND But Better (twice as many types of elves and the roman empire is there)

Cloister of Centre del Carme, a public modern art museum and cultural centre in València (Valencian Country).

The building was originally built as a convent in the 14th century, and the cloister is an addition from the Renaissance. It was used as a monastery until 1839. Since then, it has been the seat of different art museums, and nowadays it’s a contemporary art museum and community cultural centre.

The cloister is an “expanded library”: a public space for everyone to use and where everyone can propose new activities to do. It offers books and a place to meet, but doesn’t require silence. It aims to be a testing ground for what a library can be in the 21st century.
