FINISHED THIS THING!!!!

[le0artwork]

Color Wheel Challenge🌈 It was so much fun working on this one ehehehe

[nyo-w]

That fanart color wheel that was trending on twitter. I made this while it was trending, but it might not still be going on by the time this is posted since im schedualing my posts

[grelleswife]

Just wanted to sk since i love your and bapydemon's writings together, have you both done sebagrelle rps too?? if so can you link to it?? i've been craving sebagrelle so thought i'd ask!!

Thank you so much, anon; I’m delighted to hear that you enjoy our collabs! 😍 @bapydemonprincess and I have completed various Sebagrelle rps over the years, several of which are available on AO3. In chronological order (from oldest to most recent), these are:

A little death

(with Fembastian)

Phantomhive governess Sebastian Michaelis goes on a carriage ride with her lover Grelle Sutcliff. When in such close quarters, the demon can only resist temptation for so long...

Solidarity

Grelle comforts Sebastian when the demon feels trapped and frustrated in their human form.

Through a different lens

(with Fembastian)

After a disastrous run-in with her ex, Claude Faustus, the demon Sebastian Michaelis is forced to reveal painful past secrets to her lover Grelle.

Saving Mey Rin

(polyship—Sebagrellerin)

Grelle and Sebastian rush to Mey Rin's aid after their lover is shot during an attack on the Phantomhive estate.

Take Care With Your Glasses

Housemaster Michaelis fully intends to make it to cricket practice on time. Grelle, who's been deprived of his company for much too long thanks to the pesky Watchdog's investigation at Weston College, has other ideas.

Of course, please be mindful of the tags and read at your own discretion, since most of these contain mature content (ranging from sex to canon-typical violence).

In addition, one of our rps, a Sebagrellerin story that we never wound up publishing to the Archive, can be found here, although it might be a tad cumbersome to go through the reblogs (hellsite functionality, am I right? 🤪). This tale chronicles Mey Rin’s pregnancy with the the throuple’s child, bapydemonprincess’s OC Aidan. 🖤❤️💖

Happy sailing aboard the Good Ship Sebagrelle! 🥰

[muzaktomyears]

I know there's a lot of answers out there for this question, but personally like what do you think are the best beatle books to read? Like what's the best for you?

hello anon! I'm hyperfixated so I'll read pretty much anything on them tbh. I do like to read the more anecdotal stuff because I love gossip lol - and some of them can be so revealing (both of the Beatles themselves and the authors). But I'll read and have enjoyed lots of stuff: the big biogs, memoirs, fan accounts, academic studies, that novel by Paul's ex publicist.

anyway, here's the list of Beatles books I've read all the way through and what rating out of 5 I'd give them. The books I've rated highest have generally been the big biographies just because I think they tend to say more and tell a fuller story, since obvs that's their purpose, so they're a more satisfying read. My ratings are based on a random combo of what they can tell us about the Beatles, how interesting I find them historiographically/as Beatles reception, and how much I enjoyed reading them.

INDIES 75 GREATEST WORLD BATSMEN (TEST + ODI CRICKET COMBINED) OF ALL TIME (150+ yrs) !

Given that ckt-viewing has traditionally been one of the most occupying & engaging activities of the culture as well as pastime, of more than a handful of top nations of the world, for atleast the past ¾ century, that we know of via video footage, we at Indies landed up on an exciting idea of compiling a most comprehensive list of the Greatest 75 World Batsmen (Test + ODI cricket combined) Of All Time! This idea of a combined (Test + ODI) list seemed the most compelling to Indies, given it’s cricketing outlook/ideology of considering Test match cricket to essentially be 2 100 over-a—side games clubbed together & carrying forward from one to the other, at end of which one side OUGHT to win. And so players with a solid yet winning game, contributing towards win of their side, thru their careers, across eras, continents, continental playing conditions, & different legendary oppositions, in both the (longer) formats, mostly make the cut! PS. Also included in this greatest of all cricket lists, are those first-class batsmen, who despite less opportunities on intl circuit given political or other climes of times, stacked up such huge numbers, displaying such high skill sets, broke their way into this list, even via back door route. And fairly & squarely at that! And criteria of ranking, that also partly & most weightily reflects this aspect, broadly including factors like: 1. Technical skill set 2. Physical/Statistical contribution to the game, given their era & conditions of play. 3. Aesthetic cultural value to the connoisseur. & 4. Their contribution to the legacy of the game. And here it is! 1.Sachin Tendulkar 2.Don Bradman 3.Rahul Dravid 4.Mohammad Azharuddin 5.Brian Lara 6.Gary Sobers 7.Viv Richards 8.Wally Hammond 9.Mohinder Amarnath 10.Virender Sehwag 11.Zaheer Abbas 12.Vijay Merchant 13.

[love-songs-for-emma]

reading hannigram fics is one of my greatest comforts in life rn, but on rare occasions, they make me spiral mentally. hard.

will is so fragile and so unwell in s1 and the thought of anything physical/sexual happening between him and hannibal as his encephalistis and his mental health worsens makes me sick. nbc hannibal has some extremely eff'd up scenes (including a totem pole of sewed up bodies and a man holding his own guts, awake during his own disembowling),, but the most painful part of the show for me stands as when hannibal & dr sutcliffe confirm will's brain is on fire & then blatantly lie/gaslight him about it. i'm sure this is unnerving for others, but especially as someone who is mentally ill with a traumatized unreliable memory, my heart beyond shatters for will.

and then, to read a fic post will's encephalistis being confirmed/worsening where hannibal is the one to initate any sort of physical relationship with him makes my stomach Turn and sink somehow further than before. how dare he. how DARE he take advantage of will in that way on top of everything else. framing one for your crimes so u can get off scott-free is almost not even an issue for me bc will was practically gift-wrapped for him. but to then take sexual gratification from a shattered man living mostly through the lens of episodes and mental breaks is beyond beyond fucked

I thought I’d posted this before, but maybe I didn’t? I did this for a university class back in 2018 as an exploration of Stu Stucliffe’s artwork, his influences and his historical context, and how emulating his style through my own lens in the present day would look.

(Disclaimer: This was an English class. I am a mere hobby artist trying to explain art to a professor who knows even less than I do lol)

Long-form essay on art history and my process below the cut, but key takeaways:

Stu’s art conveys a lot of spontaneity and raw emotion, which I tried to do

Visual features of some of Stu’s pieces that I ran with: full canvas coverage, collage, etching through many layers, geometric totems

Instead of collage out of newspaper clippings I used layered screenshots of Tweets and textposts, which is fun

Essay excerpts below the cut if you’re feeling especially academic.

The bulk of Sutcliffe’s paintings are of the Abstract Expressionist style, produced as the Abstract Expressionist movement was in wane. Characterized by its raw emotion and spontaneity, Abstract Expressionism was a means of dealing with the grim realities of the Great Depression, and in the years following World War II, the movement evolved into an energetic, defiant response to the postwar desolation throughout Europe.[1] As a young art student in a still badly scarred Liverpool, Sutcliffe lived amid the realities that influenced the development of Abstract Impressionism at a societal level. However, on a more personal level, he also stood at a juncture for change: deciding whether to pursue visual art or rock music—and after making his choice, forging ahead to create a successful and earnest career in art. As such, Sutcliffe’s works feel particularly raw and true to the spirit of Abstract Expressionism.

To better appreciate the technicalities and spirit of his art, I decided to critically examine and emulate Sutcliffe’s art style. Sutcliffe’s art flourished between 1961 and 1962, after he left the Beatles and enrolled in the Hamburg State School of Art, where he studied under pop artist Eduardo Paolozzi. Sutcliffe’s style grew more original and assured in Hamburg.[2] The traditional paintings of Sutcliffe’s Hamburg period are composed of thick layers of paint, covering all or part of the canvas, which have been scraped away in places to reveal other colors and instill a sense of depth and presence. Sutcliffe also produced a number of mixed-media pieces during this time, often with collaged newspaper cuttings and ink printing. A great many of these pieces, regardless of medium, feature repetitive, messy geometric patterns. These features in combination often convey a sense of anxiety, excitement, or chaos in Sutcliffe’s works.

In emulating Sutcliffe’s art style, I worked with a general goal of producing the unsettled emotions characteristic of Abstract Expressionism that Sutcliffe so successfully captured in his works. I also used a few of the more specific aforementioned style techniques: thick layering, elements of collage, and totemic geometric patterns. However, my piece is purely digital, created with GIMP image software; as such, part of my task became how to translate these three-dimensional features into a strictly two-dimensional, virtual medium.

I attempted to convey a sense of nervousness and anxiety with my piece—feelings I can tap into all too well, with the swift approach of graduation and the scramble to find a job in my immediate thoughts, and the looming myriad social and political problems my country currently faces. I began with a pre-made background image that gave the texture of old paper. From there, I turned to Sutcliffe’s method of using collaged newspaper articles as part of his painting surface. Given that it is 2018, I decided to update this technique to utilize a different means of public communication: social media. I took screenshots of tweets and tumblr posts I had seen recently, but I did choose them with some discretion, selecting statements that touch on my personal worries. From there, I used a set of acrylic brushes I had downloaded to create several layers of indiscriminate colorful strokes. Then, I similarly created several layers of different shades of black atop these (akin to the iridescent black painting of Sutcliffe’s pictured above). I did not extend this black to the very edges of the image, in order to expose small parts of the underlying color and collage layers and to keep a sense of discord and chaos at the edges of the piece. To achieve the scraping effect, I actually added more layers with a technique called layer masking: I superimposed portions of the colorful base layers, in the form of scrawled shapes, on top of the black layers, to make it appear that I had scraped away layers of black. The shapes are rough and spontaneous (some resembling Sutcliffe’s typical totems, some not) to give a jittery and dynamic feeling and to capture both a nervous energy and general impulsiveness of Abstract Impressionism.

[grelleswife]

unpopular op: blavat sky's character design is one of the most beautiful ones (if not yet the best) in the kuro universe.

(Respectfully) disagree...but there’s a lot to like about his design, and I’ll admit that I’m strongly influenced by my bias against him as a character. Blavat’s tattoos, sparkly hair decorations, unique hair color, eye makeup, and eccentric clothing give him a mystical appearance that’s suited to both his fortune teller persona and the astrological themes that tend to crop up in sensei’s art. And his presentation is a little gender-ambiguous (at least to my eye), so kudos to Yana for that!

Honestly, the main reason why I don’t vibe with Blavat is because he’s hurt and manipulated several of the Kuro kids, including Lizzy, the P4, and O!Ciel. I know that has no direct bearing on the merits of his character design, but it makes it difficult for me to view him through an objective lens.

Hopeless Miss Sutcliff stan that I am, my belief is that Yana’s character design peaked with Grelle...her beauty...her grace...her perfection... 😍🙏🥰

But that’s just my take! 🙈🙈🙈

And your opinions are valid! Yana’s art is gorgeous, and it’s always good to see appreciation for the minor characters. ☺️

It's #MedievalMonday! So let's talk about Old English. I, er, know shockingly little about it. People assume since my degree was called "Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic" that I'll be able to proclaim on all manner of things Anglo-Saxon, but while I had a brief dalliance with Norse I'm a Celticist through and through and my Old English knowledge is pathetic as a result. I ... actually haven't ever read Beowulf? So yeah, I'm a fraud, I admit it.

I have no excuse really. I've read Rosemary Sutcliff's retelling, and I've also read a fair bit of lit crit relating to Old English texts -- there's so little literary commentary out there for Irish material that I ended up doing a lot of comparative reading just to figure out what the methodologies were for tackling medieval texts through a lens of queer theory. Which basically means I only know about the gay parts of Old English lit, lmao. #onbrand ⁣

Middle English, now, that I can do slightly more of...⁣

The open book in the foreground is a 1908 edition of Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader, with annotations by three different users -- one of whom was my grandmother, although I recognise her doodle style and I'm pretty sure she wasn't hugely focused on the topic at hand, haha. ⁣
