[thepastisalreadywritten]

Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it

SET ELEVEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE

"Saint-Georges majeur au crépuscule (San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk)" (1908 - Claude Monet) / "Water-Lilies, Reflection of a Weeping Willow" (1916–1919 - Claude Monet)

SAINT-GEORGES MAJEUR AU CRPUSCULE (SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE AT DUSK): the colours the colours. the way the brushstrokes soften the buildings but define the waves. the ethereal buildings. (@kaerran)

WATER-LILIES, REFLECTION OF A WEEPING WILLOW: Its just so cool to me bcs it looks so natural yet unnatural at the same time and it’s probably one of my favourite impresionist style paintings? Also what I love about seeing the actual piece is that you can see these bits of unpainted canvas and it makes the painting feel like a portal. I tried to draw it (like I normally do when I see an art piece I really like, especially at museums) and it just dosnt work. It’s amazing and it looks like a fairytale scene despite the fact Monet painted this from his backyard (@azurecake16)

("Saint-Georges majeur au crépuscule (San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk)" is an oil on canvas landscape painting by Claude Monet. It measures 65.2 cm × 92.4 cm (25.7 in × 36.4 in) and is on display at the National Museum Cardiff. A second version is owned by the Bridgestone Museum of Art in Tokyo.

"Water-Lilies, Reflection of a Weeping Willow" is one of Monet's later water-lily pieces. It is oil on canvas and measures 2 x 2m (6.56 x 6.56 ft), and is held by the Musée Marmottan Monet. This photo was taken by the submitter!)

heyy do you have a loustat fic rec list? would you mind sharing some faves?

yes of course! i haven't delved deeply into everything so i'm sure there's more out there, but i really like these. they're a mix of show fic (starred) and book fic.

begin again In which Louis and Lestat clobber each other with their respective baggage, argue in various locales, and make their own happy ending.

and back to the river* Fucking hell, Louis thinks.

the long way home Louis has a secret, something he’s never told anyone since childhood. Lestat has just moved into Pointe du Lac when Louis receives a mysterious letter. And now he’s on the brink of losing it all. Set after Louis’ turning when he and Lestat are living at Pointe du Lac, canon divergent.

go fetch god* He falls in love with a man. He loved the man because he answered a prayer Louis had been sketching in the dark, on his knees, hands down his pants that he couldn’t look at for fear of loving. Dying too, but mostly loving. They don’t go calling love fool’s gold for nothing. The very apple of Eden had a sheen to it.

objects of devotion 1999. After months on the run from the Talamasca, Louis just wants to spend Christmas in New Orleans with Lestat. Will either of them ever manage to say what they actually mean? Featuring religious imagery and a trip to Montgomery Ward.

tinderbox (or: a history of fire in colonial new orleans) [wip] 1794. Pointe du Lac lies in ashes. Lestat, desperate to keep Louis with him at any cost, tries something he's never tried before: he talks.

the devil's in the details Claudia is never turned into a vampire. Instead, Lestat and Louis end up raising a human child. A study on age and family life.

the souvenir 1908. Louis and Armand are traveling through Europe. Louis seduces a young man who reminds him of Lestat.

fear death by water (what the thunder said)* Louis puts down the knife. Claudia leaves the nest. Lestat endures.

dress up Seven scenes across canon. Costumes: what they hide and what they don't.

all our yesterdays New Orleans, 1985. Lestat, struggling with change, comes home to Louis and an unexpected gift.

the house of atreus [wip] In the summer of 1860, Claudia raises her knife to kill Lestat. This time, Louis makes a different choice.

reading between the lines “Yes?” Lestat interrupts, savoring the noise of frustration Louis lets out. “Would you have me promise to spend eternity by your side? Is that what you want?” Louis looks away sharply, but Lestat won’t have that—he grabs Louis’s jaw and turns his face, dragging those pretty eyes back to meet Lestat’s gaze. “Is it a horrible thing to want?” Louis whispers. “Don’t you want it?”

there's vertigo in my soul at your name* Louis, in all his self loathing, convinces himself that the bite never happened. It's all a nightmare but the real nightmare is the life he wakes to and just how much he hates himself. AU from season 1 episode 1, when Louis and Miss Lily leave Lestat's home.

these devils of yours, they need love too* “Kill her,” Louis demands as his furious eyes burn into Lestat’s. He wants to melt those eyes and the look of them, to turn them into nothing but a memory to be forgotten. “Do it. Prove to me how much you love me, Lestat." Louis finally does what he's wanted to for years: He asks Lestat to kill Antoinette.

on brûlera toutes les deux en enfer, mon ange* In that exact moment Lestat's expression shifted. He stopped, narrowed eyes scanning Claudia's face, then running up and down her body. 'They dared…' Lestat's voice changed as well. Instead of the mocking tone from before it was cold with fury. So cold that Louis could actually feel the temperature in the room dropping. 'They dared to hurt what's mine.'

the visit* Lestat’s mother drops in for an unexpected visit to Rue Royale. This leads to all kinds of new emotions in the Du Lac-Lioncourt household. A coming of age tale from Claudia’s perspective featuring the one and only Gabrielle de Lioncourt.

retour à vous Although he’d overseen its restoration over the past few months, it still shocks him each time he sees the New Orleans apartment again. It truly looks like their old home — the environment of their happiest days together recreated with all of the modern comfort of the present era. What truly makes him stop in his tracks each time, however, is the feeling that for the first time since Claudia twisted the knife in his heart, this place they so long called home is free of ghosts. Besides, no lover of his will live in some rundown Garden District house overflowing with vines and insects. Lestat loves the Queen’s Wreath and bougainvillea as much as the next man, but he won’t have Louis continuing to dwell in that dark little place. No, it’s time that they had a home again. A home together.

parce que c'était lui, parce que c'était moi* “So,” Daniel says, huffed on an exhale, and the book makes a telltale thump as it's placed on the nearby coffee table. “You finished burning the body. Then what?” Then what? Then we left, he wants to say. We took our bags and we walked out of that courtyard and we boarded the train and then the steam liner. We left that city, that life, behind to seek freedom and answers across the Atlantic. We didn’t look back, he wants to say. He does not say it.

i clutched your arms like stairway railings, and you clutched my brain and eased my ailing* Lestat and Louis in December 2022, working through their many problems one day at a time, while trying to enjoy life, and love, together.

A Few Suggestions That Might Help the Prohibition Candidate Keep Himself In the Public Eye

August 23, 1908

In several panels, Eugene Chafin participates in several water activities based on suggestions. In the upper left, the caption reads "He might adopt a party flower, the Water Lily" as he wears a large flower. In the lower left, the caption reads "He might attract attention by rocking the boat" he stands in a boat and almost falls. In the upper right a fireman sprays him in the face, and the caption reads "This would be better than stopping a brick" In the lower right, the caption reads "He could carry water to the political animals." He is carrying buckets of water to the Republican elephant and Democratic donkey. In the center, the caption reads "Why not steal a water melon?" He is running carrying a watermelon.

The Minneapolis Tribune reported that the Prohibitionist Party candidate was attending events in Minnesota. Chafin had gotten a ton of publicity after almost drowning.

Claude Monet

Claude Monet was a French painter and was the founder of the impressionists. Monet loved to paint nature and show their perspective of nature using a large scale. Monet had painted many watercolours of nature and specialised in water lilies.

Garden Watercolour 56 x 38 cm

This painted of Monet's caught my eye due to the softness of the colours giving it a tranquil atmosphere. The warm tones of the tree to the left of the painting helped to bring a welcoming feeling inviting you in. The way Monet paints this makes you feel like you are then and feeling the sun on your face and seeing the wind due to the movements of the painting helping you to experience what Monet saw.

Claude Monet, Path in the Wheat Fields at Pourville, 1882. Oil on canvas; 23 x 30-1/2 in (58.4 x 77.5 cm)

Monet loved to paint with bright vibrant colours helping the viewer feel peaceful and looking at the painting Monet helps to capture the details of the wheat field showing the wind blowing the wheat and seeing the clouds in the sky showing that it was windy.

San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk, 1908 - 65.2cm x 92.4cm (Sunset in Venice)

This is one of Monet's most known paintings found in the national art gallery of Wales In this oil painting Monet used vibrant colours to portray the famous sunset in Venice. I like how symmetrical this painting is due to the top and bottom both having blow then moving through the sunset to the red. This painting shows passion and happiness showing the beauty of sunsets.
