Life is very miserable and tragic❤🇵🇸 as we are now deprived ❤🇵🇸🍉of all means of living. Drink water, healthy food health care and medicine❤🇵🇸 have become things 🇵🇸🍉❤of the past. We are dying dear friends. That is why I am asking you to help us break through this tough situation.Life in hot tents is incredibly sad and miserable. We are now experiencing the worst circumstances we have ever had in our life. The war has stolen happiness and life from us.

Please don't leave us alone in such dire times. Your kind contribution either through donating whatever you can or sharing my posts will be highly appreciated and valued.❤🇵🇸🍉

Ivan Aivazovsky - The Ninth Wave (1850)

THE NINTH WAVE (1850) by IVAN AIVAZOVSKY

The painting shows a group of people holding onto debris from a shipwreck, in the middle of a stormy ocean, surrounded by the golden light of the dawn.

The name is derived from the traditional nautical concept that the ninth wave represents the final, largest, and most destructive wave in a cycle, after which the cycle begins again.

The CHRISTIAN message is more subtle, limited to the cross-shaped shape of the mast, and the pleading faces of those unfortunates holding onto it as they watch the sun rise just before the great wave rolls in.

The ninth wave has all the drama of AIVAZOVSKY at his most feverish and all the magnificence of his most audacious attempts to make an impression. It shows the classic academic study of composition and colour that AIVAZOVSKY was taught and then immerse himself in the salons and galleries of the EUROPEAN metropolitans

The "epic quality" of his work, which was "increasingly apparent" by this time, according to the RUSSIAN LANGUAGE writer and poet ROSE NEWMARCH'S perceptive early notes on his work, did not always give her the "truthful picture" that she found him capable of.

Playing The Ninth Wave roulette where I get to listen to the second side of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love album and try not to burst into tears when Jig Of Life eventually comes on

Proof that time becomes meaningless when you’re an ao3 author: I told folks the ASOH sequel “would be coming soon” and was surprised when I posted the ninth wave how many people said they’d been waiting for the sequel.

“Oh it wasn’t that long ago, it was only a few mo—”

My bad, y’all. It’s been almost a year.

you already know what time of year it is!!

barely anything new to report here, the #4 song was my #1 last year lol everything is cyclical

[s-aint-elmo]

the theme is same faces

(ID in alt text)

bonus + design notes:

sparknotes:

tridentarii: the building block was "lions" (corona's mane of hair and king vibes + ianthe's scar lionking swagger) but i think i lost that plot at some point. regardless peep the earrings for symbols of their twisted mutualism. also they have dimples <3 bc on corona they're perfect and on ianthe (when she smiles wide enough) they're sickeningly dissonant

the nonas: harrow has curls bc i think the only thing funnier than saddling a nun who's been shaving her head since infancy with fast-growing hair is for that hair to be horrible messy springy curls that are barely spared from frizz by the sheer grease #bathingisn'tsafeformern. please also applaud my restraint in adhering to canon and not giving nona dimples. she deserved them

the sixth: came to me fully formed honestly. palamedes calls camilla beautiful enough for the alexandrites so i just let my heart and sapphism take the wheel here. for pal when i first read gtn i visualized him very differently but other artists made such a compelling case for scruffy pal that now i can't see him any other way

the second: also let my heart take the wheel here. wanted to draw a man carved out of hardwood so i did <3 at the caliber of necromancer that g1d is i know he probably wouldn't have so much scarring but the heart wants what it wants (cool factor). in my head and in my heart they're from wake

naberius: i don't have anything to say in my defense. i rewatched teen beach movie, found the perfect face claim and set the wheels of fate in motion. i think babs is hot the way a ken doll is hot, y'know? it takes yanny piloting his flesh mecha for him to be gender (<- testimonial from my masc nb friend)

I couldn't think about you for a long time

Death makes some people sad and some people ugly

And some people took your name for their own sake

But I remember the days when your name was

Just your name

And I remember the days when it didn′t take so much

Just to say your name
