Also something I never talked about, but other 100% have is Jance recreating "The Creation of Adam" from Michelangelo. Which is my favorite painting by my favorite artist so since we are all having jance feels today, have my two cents.
This painting is often seen as purely religious imagery. But Michelangelo was in fact not only a man of science, but also a pretty openly gay man for that time.

So when he painted it, he also subtly put the shape of a brain behind God, implying we are created by our brain, our thoughts and feelings. "It's not God that made me, I made me", kind of sentiment.
Jance recreating that???? I cannot tell you how floored I still am. I am not saying this was intentially to this degree on their part, but augh. Life imitates art, indeed. I think Michelangelo, for one, would really love this.
Even after all this time, he can still say fuck you to the church through others recreating it to show off such deep love and care. A creation of something entirely human, if you will
