#De Buck Gallery

[stellophiliac]

you should make a website!

"my favorite social media site is shutting down!"

"the CEO of the site i use just committed another atrocity!"

"i want a webspace that's all my own!"

if any of these sound like you (and if you're on tumblr, i know at least one applies) you should make your own website!

why make a website?

incredibly customizable

you can put whatever you want on it

it's, well, your own! like a house you build with your own hands

things you'll need

a computer. you can maybe get away with doing this on a mobile device, but i have zero experience there

a code editor. i like VScodium, which is a de-microsoft-ed version of VScode.

a will to learn ;)

site hosting

neocities. everyone knows neocities. at this point i do feel like it's become a bit too centralized, but it's a good option nonetheless. do note that there are filetype restrictions for free users, but that shouldn't be a huge issue for most. what may be an issue, though, is that there's a content security policy that prevents sites made after jan 1st, 2024 to use outside scripts. also, you have to pay to use your own domain

nekoweb. similar to neocities, but there's no filetype restrictions or a content security policy. some differences are outlined in the FAQ (thinking about moving here... i am a traitor...) i'm not sure if domain support is free or paid.

github pages or codeberg pages. you'll need an understanding of git for this

pages.gay: run by besties.house, uses git

teacake: free hosting is currently closed, but paid hosting starts at 2 bucks a month.

leprd.space: i know next to nothing about this.

a web server. don't recommend this if you don't know computer stuff but it is an option (you'll likely have to provide your own domain though)

gripes & solutions (?)

i'm not comfortable maintaining pages in pure HTML / templating with JS sucks!

with a static site generator, you can write pages in markdown and they'll be converted into HTML and (if you'd like) be put into a template of your choosing. my personal choice is 11ty but there are tons of options!

static site generators can be a bit of a learning curve (and you will have to write some html for templating) but if you're making a lot of pages or blogging regularly it's something to consider

there are starters for 11ty online but i might make a more beginner-proofed starter and/or guide in the future? don't count on it

i don't want to write/maintain CSS

simpleCSS is a tiny CSS file you can use to make semantic HTML ("naked" HTML) look nice. it's got decent customization options too. it's not particularly fancy or opinionated, but it's a good starting point if you need something

i don't know what to put on my website!

small list of ideas:

weblog

art/writing/music gallery

movie/show/book tracker

place to store bookmarks/links

scary! i'm scared!

my askbox/messages/e-mail inbox/etc. are open to anyone who'd like to ask for help!

Gommaar Gilliams is a Belgian painter. He was born in 1982 in Lier, Belgium. Graduating in visual arts from LUCA School of Arts in Brussels and having a Masters degree in Painting from PXL College in Hasselt, his large-scale paintings and textural wall hangings fuse American Abstract Expressionism with figurative elements derived from Middle Eastern to European symbolism.

Holbein der Jüngere

Erasmus (1522) Óleo y témpera sobre lienzo, 73,6 x 51,4 cm

Desiderius Erasmo de Rotterdam (1466/69-1536) fue un reconocido teólogo y erudito humanista. Se trasladó en 1521 a Basilea, ciudad donde vivía y tenía su taller Hans Holbein el Joven.

Era tal la fama de Erasmo, de que mantenía correspondencia con eruditos de toda Europa, que necesitaba muchos retratos de sí mismo para enviar al extranjero.

Holbein pintó tres retratos de Erasmo muy copiados en 1523, de los cuales este es el más grande y elaborado. Es probable que sea el enviado a William Warham, arzobispo de Canterbury, en Inglaterra. El retrato de Erasmo de Holbein incluye un pareado en latín del erudito, inscrito en el borde del libro inclinado en el estante, que dice que Holbein preferiría tener un calumniador que un imitador. Según la historiadora de arte Stephanie Buck, este retrato es "una imagen idealizada de un erudito sensible y muy culto, y así era precisamente como Erasmo quería ser recordado por las generaciones futuras".

FOR RONALD AND MORTIMER!!! (why did the latter catch my attention?)

Describe your ideal partner.

That's all-

This came out a lot longer than I went in thinking it was going to be...

Hope you enjoy these very opposite people XD

Ronald:

The deer beastman practically pranced to the interview room. This was the best extra credit project ever! It was like he was experiencing press from a race well won, and this first question was golden.

Please describe your ideal partner

Ronald puffed in pride, "Of course! That's a very common question when people have a fan club, and it's only a matter of time until mine is formed." He ignored the awkward roll of the eyes from the interviewer.

"So, the wonderful ladies, enbys, and gentlemen want to know about what I want in whoever gets the title of number one super fan. I can gladly give some details," Ronny shuffled in his seat to match how he's seen other famous racers sit during press conferences. "I guess the first thing is that they have to have a bit of a daredevil in them. I have a need for speed, and I want to race through the hills and/or sky with them grabbing my waist with the wind in our hair. I'd feel awful if that stuff had them quaking in genuine fear."

Ron let his shoulders slide down as he became more introspective. "I want what my Ma and Pa had. By themselves, they were awesome! Totally amazing beastfolk that became even more spectacular when paired together! Where one fell short, the other picked up." He picked himself up once more, "Support is very important to me. I want to be there lift them up when they need it, but I also want to know that they'll be there when I need it. Fame can get lonesome otherwise. Knowing that someone is there at the finish line waiting for me just makes me want to cross that much sooner!"

The buck sighed at the thought. Then he started to blush and fiddle with his antlers. In a more muffled whisper, he tacked on at the end, "I-I guess I like them taller and a tad bit flirty too...But that isn't really important! Ehem...Is that enough detail?"

Mortimer:

"Tido said that this is a way for me to...appeal to masses more. Show them that I'm not just some hunk of muscle to throw around," Mortimer said as he slicked back his dark-green hair. He gave the interviewer a cold stare as he smirked. "But who'd have thought they'd cut straight to my more intimate affairs. I think my crowd appeal is working just fine, despite what my flappy henchman says."

Um, could you des-

"Describe my ideal type. Yes, I was getting to that," Mortimer crossed his legs as he sat back. "I suppose if a man wanted to have the best chances of garnering my favor, he'd have to be a gentleman first and foremost. Some people might like that 'country charm' but not me. Been there, done that, and it's not my thing."

"I value grace, intellect, and artistic visionaries. Someone to enjoy the finer things in life, and if they are able to easily afford such a life it makes things so much easier," He gave small toothy grin. "But since I already plan to achieve such a lifestyle, I'm not too concerned about it. Rather...I'd like to make the most of whatever I can get and make it what I want and need. If I cannot attend a ball with my beloved, I will make a ballroom and play the finest music. If no gallery will allow us entry, well, my artwork far exceeds those dusty canvases. We can admire my work."

The third year grew uncomfortable. "If this is shared to others, and they think they have a chance, I suppose I should get this out of the way." He leaned forward and looked straight ahead with half lidded eyes. "I'm not a family man. I will be cordial with my in-laws, maybe even enjoy them, and...entertain any small family members, but don't expect me to raise anything more than pet children."

"I will happily be a father to cats, maybe a dog if I really love the person, but I don't wish to wake up and deal with children every day. If my significant other so chooses to show their philanthropy threw helping children, by all means they can. However, I will not be someone's legal guardian." He leans back and whispers, "I will not be another one to add to generational...issues."

He pushed his hair back again as he collected himself. After a long sigh he finished, "Yes, someone graceful, intelligent, with an appreciation for the arts, being well endowed in the pockets in a nice perk, and not set on child-rearing are my criteria. Bonus brownie points if they are of beastfolk decent. A preference of mine, but it hardly makes a dent compared to everything else."

"Next question?"

Wednesday 31 October 1838

6 55

11 10

fine sunny northern-airing bracing morning – F54 ½° at 8 am and breakfast at 8 5 – and off (from St. Vallier, Hotel de la poste and du Sauvage – very comfortable) at 9  except very bad coffee this morning – suspension bridge and river close to the town but the river soon winds away from us a little – vines and mulberries – at 10 5 at St. Rambert poor little town – the morning not clear, and from 9 ¾ or before the valley too wide for beauty tho’ fine rich valley – view for a moment of pretty reach of river just out of St. Rambert at 10 50 pass bridge over canal-like river and pay ./60 toll – at 11 10 Péage de Roussillon, nice little town – several good auberges says my Itinéraire – probable enough – longish ascent just out of the town – fine open valley – vine and mulberries and stony vide Itinéraire ii. m. pp. 304-305 ‘on se trouve dans une plaine semblable à celle de la Crau, quoique les Cailloux qui la couvert soient moins gros’ – about as big as ones’ head, a few larger and a great many less – now at 11 40 like a large common covered with these stones – a little buck wheat, a few potatoes etc. etc. sheep and, a few vines here and there – at 11 55 Auberive good little village – and from here the land cleared of the boulder stone and nice, clean tidy champs of wheat etc.  – at 12 ¾ nice bit of new winding road, a descent but we trot down without drag – pretty broken rounded hills form the valley but left side perpetually wine which makes them look bare (no wood) and monotonous – the monotony of vines spoils the Lausanne side of the Lake of Geneva – at 12 50 the river again now muddy – the bills near right – valley narrow and pretty but vines or corn right – wood wanted for the picture – at 12 55 bits of copse (oak or what?) wood on the hilly right, and little bits on the hills, left and very fine broad reach of river seeming nearly full up to its proper level – at 1 fine semicircular [?] of valley studded with houses and villages and beautiful from here to Vienne, hotel de la table ronde, at 1 23 – engaged a man

Prettiest from Tain to St. Vallier, and next the stage from Auberive to Vienne

to go about with us and A- and I out at 1 55 first to the cloître gotique de St. André-le-Bas – my Itinéraire refers to les chapiteaux – saw nothing very particular in the chapiteaux in the interior – but some grotesque heads and figures on the cornice under the Eaves of the roof of the nave, and some beautiful little Saxon windows looking on to the roof of the aisle – but the interior of this church all painted in fresco – very pretty – perhaps the prettiest specimen of church fresco-painted I have seen – then to the musée – there an hour from 2 ¼ to 3 ¼ - It is the maison Carrée who was (according to A-‘s book guide du Voyageur en France Paris 1838. Firmin Didot frères) the temple dedicated to Augustus and Livia – exterior miserably degradé – the flutiness of the Corinthian columns chiselled off as also parts of the capitals and cornice – no getting round the buildings – little more than ½ of it seen, the rest built up to and into on both sides – on one side (left on entering the musée) the old buildings partly taken down and being replaced with good new ones – Interior one lofty hall containing the musée lapidaire, and all round above a wooden gallery and the library belonging to the hotel de ville, and a lower room behind with a few bits of old cornices etc. etc. and 12 or 13 plaster of Paris models of some of the most celebrated statues – what does the Apollo Belvidere hold in his left hand? like a 6in. long bit of stick cut off even at each end – and what the Venus d’Arles in her left hand? vide p. 79 vide. p. 108 like a spirally a mirror fluted round-ended pretty knife-handle about 5in. long – the Dianes à la biche, too, holds in her left hand which leans on, or has hold of, the head of the biche, - an about 8in. long squary thing                         . and Lucius Venus holds in his right hand a lesser bit of stick, thinner and shorter but round and otherwise like that in the left hand of the Apollo

on entering the musée, left, against the wall, but of large heavy stone cornice (Corinthian?) with a 5 petal-flower and pericarp  with open seed-cells exactly like the lotus at Montpellier vide p. 69 – another flower with as it were six petals not quite opened, and germen opening within it strikes me that all the flowers on Corinthian corcnies are the lotus in one stage or other i.e. at different periods of its growth – Inquire into Acanthus leaves – at the far end of the musée rather to the right (as one looks forwards on entering) there is a Corinthian capital with a fleura lis this springing out of, or at the back of the turn-back of the Acanthus leaf – the egg has reference to the mundane egg – or is the ovary of the lotus   this flower is main spring of ancient architectural ornamen[t]   is the marigold as we call it some corruption of the lotus?

Sceptre, unde derivatur? a constable staff office is a small sceptre not unlike what the venus  a constable staff of office is a small sceptre? not unlike what the Venus d’Arle holds in her hand – the globe and sceptre emblems of power - were they originally the egg the ovary the womb and phallus?   the egg the yoni or female organ of generation of which the lotus is the emblem   why does the triangle represent the female organ?

Tau T was the emblem of Hermes   does this represent the phallus  issuing from the tow testicles represented by the transverse beam?
