The Annunciation

Artist: Francesco Albani (Italian, 1578-1660)

Date: 1630's

The painting “The Annunciation” by the artist Francesco Albani is a masterpiece of the Italian Baroque that captivates with its beauty and delicacy. The composition of the work is very interesting, since it represents the moment in which the angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will be the mother of Jesus. In the painting, we see the Virgin Mary kneeling before the angel, her hands folded in prayer and a look of wonder on her face.

Albani’s artistic style is characterized by elegance and refinement, and this is reflected in the delicacy of the painting’s details. The colors used are soft and bright, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. The light that illuminates the scene seems to come from outside the frame, giving a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.

🏍motorcycle racing OCs🏍

It's been 2 whole days of thinking about these two characters, so I come to infodump about them.

[Also, please ignore any errors when it comes to actual motorcycle racing, I know absolutely nothing about it...]

First I came up with her:

Amancay Ballester (she/her). 27 y/o.

Amancay is considered one of the best racers in the Argentinian motorcycle racing space. About 3 years ago she got in an accident in one of the races, and ended up with pretty severe burn injuries in her upper torso and part of her face. This resulted in damage to her vocal chords, and is now mute. She had to retire for a couple of years, but she never gave up on her passion for the sport.

The story starts when, after intensive recovery, she's able to come back to racing! She's the most hyped figure in the competition, and everyone is expecting to see if she can go back to being the best, and winning. But she only really cares about racing again. She's very chill about the competition aspect.

That's when the next characters comes in:

Antonella Albani (she/they). 29 y/o.

Antonella is pretty nervous about Ballester's return to the races. Only because she considers that her recent streak of wins and scaling in the podium came because of Amancay's temporary absense. They're convinced that their victory streak will end the second they start competing with Amancay again, since, in Albani's eyes, she's much better.

The good (?) thing is that Albani is able to turn insecurities into a deep competitive spirit. As the first encounter of the tournament comes closer, they start becoming more and more eager to race with Ballester, this time in a more equal ground than when they last saw each other, since they have improved a lot in those years.

Ok. So. What's their relationship like?

It starts as them just being competitors, next to the other racers that make up the tournaments. But as the races pass, Albani and Ballester start getting in an equal field. They both start doing very well, and a rivalry starts to form. Even from Amancay's side, who doesn't usually care about being rivals with other compatitors. For some reason, competing agains Albani is particularly interesting.

It's all in good fun, kinda. As the time passes they also become close, developing a Nice Friendship in between the events. That actually makes them even more eager to compete with each other. Once they know what the other's goals are, and how ambitious they are about it, it makes the two of them want to compete even more intensely.

And, as you can expect from me, this rivalry, these feelings of passion, of competition, of comradery, even a small fraction of anger, all turn into something else. Is not love or romance just yet, but a deep, strong homoeroticism (lol). As exemplified by this drawing of them making out in a shower cubicle:

From here the rivalry still exists, but also laced with lesbianism as it should always be. And they continue to grow closer as the events of the story continue. Do they end up falling in love? Yes We'll have to see what happens (don't expect a comic anytime soon, tho).

Now...what is up with the bandages?

I'm still trying to develop this part of the story. Knowing me, I couldn't just make it a sports story with a completely normal plot and no weird worldbuilding elements. The bodyhorror always appears one way or another.

Something strange happened to Amancay on the years she wasn't racing...some kind of entity from time to time covers her entire body with bandages. She doesn't know what it means or what it could do to her.

The only thing she knows is that when they cover her body shape, if she reaches in between the gauze, there's only a black hole. Her body becomes hollow. She can only wait until the bandages leave, so she can have her whole body again.

[Btw, since this part of the story is quite underdeveloped, this things can change in the future as I write more]

I think this story takes place in an alternative reality where weird supernatural stuff just happens. Including a racer who gets covered in bandages from time to time.

All in all that's what I have plotwise so far. But here's some extra details and fun facts that I couldn't write in the other parts:

Amancay speaks in Argentinian sign language, and has an interpreter who translates for her in interviews. When she speaks with people who don't know sign language, she writes in her phone and uses a text to speech app.

Amancay is mute, not deaf. She can hear no problem.

Interviewers sometimes ask Albani if she's trying to copy Amancay, since they have a similar haircut. They just both have undercuts! And obviously, Albani is annoyed at these questions.

Both Amancay and Albani are butch lesbians!

In case it wasn't obvious, the story takes place In Argentina. And I think it starts in summer 2028.

Ok, that's it. I hope I can come up with interesting ideas for them in the future!
