Incorrect quotes: OC edition

Inspired by @cssnder

Here a few incorrect quotes for my characters!

Eloise: I'm not gay for Nimue!

Lucian: Listen, Eloise. I’ve been gay for more than 200 years now. You can’t convince me that you aren’t gay for her.

Eloise: Mhm…

*a few minutes later*

Eloise: Wait. You are WHAT!!?

Eoghan: Why is Lucian crying?

Nimue: Doyle said that Shakespeare isn’t even that good.

Lucian: *starts crying even louder*

Eoghan: Why are you drinking?

Ambrose: I drink when I'm depressed.

Eoghan: But you're always drinking?

Ambrose: *winks*

Doyle: Don't say a word.

Nimue: Fergalicious.

Doyle: Nimue, I said no words.

Nimue: Oh, I see how it works. Two weeks ago, we're playing Scrabble, it's not a word, now suddenly it is a word because it's convenient for you.

Eoghan: Swear words are illegal now. If you say one you'll be fined.

Nimue: Heck.

Eoghan: You're on thin fucking ice.

Eoghan: Oh no-

*Eloise and Lucian laughing in the distance*

Lucian: I never tell people off the bat that I'm gay. I wait. I wait untill they say some homophobic shit and then I laugh and am like "you know I'm gay right?"and watch the look of terror in their eyes.

Doyle:

Doyle: I like you.

Ambrose: You look like a corpse that was just pulled out of the river.

Nimue: Wrong. I look like a cool rockstar who just OD'd in their own pool. Big difference.

(This is funnier when you know that they all are ghosts and Nimue actually was drowned in a lake. So she's basically a corpse that was just pulled out of the river)

Wat?   Her Majesty The Queen (2000-2001), Painter working, reflection (1993) en Two men (1987-1988) door Lucian Freud

Waar?   Tentoonstelling Lucian Freud – A New Perspective in de National Gallery, Londen

Wanneer?   6 januari 2023

Vanochtend bezocht ik de tentoonstelling met werken van Winslow Homer, een kunstenaar waarvan je in Europa zelden werk te zien krijgt. Dat is anders met het werk van de kunstenaar op een andere expositie, eveneens in de National Gallery: Lucian Freud. Zijn werk is, zeker in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, regelmatig te zien. Zelf bezocht ik in 2020 nog een tentoonstelling in de Royal Academy of Arts hier in Londen, gewijd aan zijn zelfportretten. Een flink aantal van de werken die ik toen zag, hangen ook hier in de National Gallery.

Toen ik mijn eerste collegereeks over kunstgeschiedenis volgde, leerde ik dat de Romeinen begonnen portretten, in plaats van geïdealiseerd, realistisch weer te geven. Keizerlijke bustes werden getoond ‘warts and all’ (met wratten en al). Die uitdrukking is me bijgebleven en bij het zien van portretten (inclusief zelfportretten) van Freud moet ik daar sterk aan denken. Lucian Freud maakt niemand mooier dan hij is, ook koningin Elizabeth en zichzelf niet. Naaktheid is in de geschiedenis van de schilderkunst vaak gebruikt om lichamen te idealiseren. Zo niet bij Freud. Bij hem zijn naakte lichamen realistisch en niet zelden onaantrekkelijk weergegeven. Maar juist daardoor biedt de kunstenaar de beschouwers een mogelijkheid om zich met de geportretteerden te identificeren. Het is slechts weinigen gegeven zichzelf in de spiegel naakt te bekijken en een Photoshop-ideaalbeeld te aanschouwen. We zien onszelf met al onze onvolkomenheden: ‘wrats and all’.

Eén van zijn meest indrukwekkende naaktportretten is het zelfportret dat hij op 71-jarige leeftijd schilderde. De audiotour bij de tentoonstelling legt een verband tussen dit werk en de heilige Bathelomeüs. Deze apostel werd levend gevild en heeft als attributen een fileermes en zijn eigen huid in de hand. Het fileermes is bij Freud verwisseld voor een paletmes en de huid heeft plaatsgemaakt voor een schilderspalet. Voor de schilder zijn lichamen en de verf waarmee ze zijn geschilderd met elkaar verweven geraakt. Het menselijke vlees symboliseert sterfelijkheid, terwijl het in verf weergegeven lichaam een (relatieve) onsterfelijkheid heeft.

Two men toont twee mannen: de een naakt, de ander gekleed; de een met het gezicht de andere kant op dan de ander. Op het eerste gezicht lijkt de scène nogal afstandelijk. Maar dan is er die hand! De geklede man laat zijn hand rusten op  het been van de naakte man. Het tafereel is niet erotisch, maar veeleer teder, liefdevol.

She had asked him to not look into it, but after it had been over a month, Kevin knew that he had to do something. He started with looking into Owen Lucian. He dug up the fact that he had moved to New York a couple of years ago, worked for the Times before landing his first role on Broadway. He kept tracing it back further and further until he got to the point of National City. He had moved from there, that much showed, but then there wasn’t anything else. No high school graduation, no past jobs, nothing that would mention him having a life before that. So he continued looking, ran facial recognition where he could, and even reached out to a couple of contacts he had in that area. Eventually one of them came through for him and provided Kevin with a name, Winslow Schott Junior. Son of Toyman, and then everything else made sense. 

It didn’t take him  much longer to run down the fact that a woman from the jail just so happened to be in New York, someone who saw Schott Sr. on the daily. He read the story about how he had kidnapped his own son and almost made him commit murder. And while he didn’t understand the why she was here now, going after Winn, at least he knew that she was in fact here. Taking Javier with him, the two had managed to come across an old motel that she was staying at. Running it past Captain Holt, they had gotten the okay to approach while they worked other leads.

The confrontation went about as well as you could have expected it, after not getting an answer after knocking on the door, the two detectives entered the room and the struggle broke out. Ryan ended up flying across the room into the wall at one point, and both of them had a pretty nasty black eye. But they arrested her, and took her back to the 99 (not the 12th, but at least they were getting something done) and handed her off for questioning with Detective Diaz. After being given the directions to the safe house, Kevin did not hesitate to drive as fast as he could. He hadn’t seen Addison in months, and he was excited to get to see her now. 

Knocking on the door, he was first greeted by Detective Peralta, and even though there was some intense questioning happening, eventually he was let in. “Addison.” He called out, not sure where she would be, but knew she would be there. 

[mysteryofvampires]

The first. Every name has a meaning that has something to do with the story.

Eloise: It means things like luck and health. She is the only human, and the only one without a tragic fate...

Ambrose: Means immortal. So as we know he's a ghost, but I chose the name because he's the one character that commited suicide and I just thought this was suiting for someone like him who rather welcomed death...

Nimue: Means lady of the lake. She's an orphan who's foster parents found her in a basket on a river. She died through drowning in the lake inside the garden of the mansion.

Eoghan: Means brave young warrior. I chose this name because through his height he looks like someone destined to fight epic battles. He's the most loyal one who would do everything for his friends even though he appears rather shy.

Lucian: This name means light. He is a sunshine character, the comedic relief and always appears happy and bubbly.

Doyle: Means dark stranger. He is a brooding and mysterious character who knows how to keep his secrets private so that even after over hundred years together his friends haven't found out much about him and his past.

Are you the writer who carefully chooses OC names for their meanings, or are you the writer who picks whatever sounds good?

Explanation of Artists selection/ Artists sponsorship list

My work involves 100 artists from different countries over the world (less than 100 countries). Due to my work contains commercialisation and globalisation of consumption of art pieces, and my work is presenting sparkling water advertising, in terms of ads, sponsorship is an essential part of commercial advertising, so the 100 artists merely in the form of sponsorship existing in my work. 

Why did I select these artists?

The 100 artists are from Asia, Africa, Europe, and America etc. They are the most representative and well-known top artists in their regions. A large number of artists are concentrated in Europe and America, why? If a value is judged by prices, the works of top artists must be regarded as the highest priced art piece. In the context of the commercialisation and globalisation of artwork, Europe and America artworks are the most expensive and most frequently visited compared to other countries. 

The most expensive paintings in the world／Relevant information research and analysis

The earliest sale on the list (Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh) is from 1987, and more than tripled the previous record price, set only two years before, introducing a new era in top picture prices. The sale was also significant in that for the first time a "modern" painting (in this case from 1888) became the record holder, as opposed to the old master paintings which had always previously held it. The current record price is approximately $300 million paid for Willem de Kooning's Interchange in November 2015.

The selling price does not determine value; the selling price is a battle between expensive collectors.  In 1960, David Rockefeller paid less than $10,000 dollars for the "White Center" painting.  Half a century later it was worth more than 72 million!  So the artist only got $10,000?  Doesn't seem fair to the artist. This simply shows that nearly anything only has the value that we put on it as a civilization.Diamonds are a perfect example of this. It is a myth that diamonds are rare but people still pay absurd prices for them. Art is even more subjective where prices are concerned and the prices are absurdly inflated. I love art but no painting is worth the prices asked. And other than the wealthy people who purchase art in order to exhibit it, as a public service, what good is it to anyone hanging in a home? But even now when prices are inflated beyond belief People spend ridiculous amounts on something that could easily lose value overnight.I would love to own a Van Gogh or an original Vermeer but would not pay the prices asked even if I had the money to do so unless they could be lost to our culture if I did not. I like that part...."if you say how much money is it worth“? then it’s not about the art anymore. Some artist or more have not even lived and were nowhere to be seen unless a huge price was put on their art and all of a sudden media and publicly recognized their art. It’s a harsh reality that many artists do not end up getting acknowledged for their efforts during their life & now art is considered an investment to make money. I feel artist always painted with passion in old days and now a price tag makes them work harder at it just to sell and the passion dies out as the society wants the most expensive art to be shown.

Arts.21 | When Is Design Art,and When Is Art Design?

Artists design everyday items and galleries sell furniture  and the lines between art and design become increasingly blurry. Meanwhile,some design is being handled as art,and is priced accordingly. In Dusseldorf,the exhibition U.F.O.

Art principle is "critical message". Now, it stops in one moment when we face in museum or movie. The next step must be items designed for reminding messages in daily life every time they use, I think.

In the mansion my WIP takes place there's a painting with my main character's dead great aunt (she inherited the house) and five eampty chairs...at the beginning it's pretty confusing for Eloise but when she finds out...

if you see this reblog with a fun fact about your WIP (world-building, lore, characters, anything!)

Character voice tag

Thank you dear @cssnder for giving me the chance to do this 🫶

My line was: "You're dead to me."

Eloise: "I deeply apologise but I'm tired of all this. I won't and can't deal with your rubbish anymore. Goodbye."

Nimue: "After all I have done for you! Believe me I tried! I tried so hard to help you out of this! But you know what? I'm tired. I'm fucking tired of all this and most of all of you! Go! To! Hell!

Eoghan: "Don't talk to me, please. I can't bear the thought of you anymore. And I'll probably never will again."

Ambrose: "For god's sake please please go away!" His voice breaks and tears are running down his face. "Please, that's all I ask for. Leave me here drowning in my sorrows and never come back for me."

Lucian: "Just shut up and leave! I have enough! Go fuck yourself and die!" His dark eyes are glimmering with the anger he supressed so good for so long.

Doyle: "You better leave now" he sais calmly his voice dark and bitter.

<My OCs3

[mysteryofvampires]

numbers 1,5,16 and 18 for the OC ask game 😋

Thank you so much for the ask!!

1: Most likely to get lost

Lucian. That boy has no sense of orientation.

5: Most likely to not realize that they are being flirted with

Ambrose. He has experienced too little love in his life to even think about someone liking him. Sad little baby 😭

16: Most likely to get arrested.

Nimue and Lucian!! They are so unserious and do dumb/illegal shit sometimes for fun. She would be arrested for insulting the cops.

18: Most likely to say I love you first

Eoghan. He's such a sweetie and just has the need to tell everyone how loved they are. Also almost all of his friends are traumatized teens. He's asexual so it's definitely only platonic "I love you"s but he isn't stingy with them.

[mysteryofvampires]

Doyle at Lucian 😌

Everything involves a risk. Everything!

You were my everything.

Thank you dear @cssnder for the tag. I'm in love with yours <3

Rules: Create a drinking game for your WIP

While reading 'a circle of ghosts' take a shot when:

Lucian looks at Doyle with heart eyes

Ambrose is sad

Someone mentions death

Eloise can't decide if Ambrose or Nimue is hotter

Doyle looks annoyed

Nimue is hugging someone

Eoghan draws something

The squad has a discussion about something stupid
