Paul Stunkard - glassmaker

Lilac Bouquet, diameter 10 cm, Paul Stankard, 2005. Master glassmaker Paul Stunkard (b. 1943, Attleboro, Massachusetts) creates stunningly beautiful images of plants and flowers encased in clear glass paperweights. In 1961, Stunkard began studying glassmaking at Salem Community College. After graduating as a glassblower, he worked in industry for 10 years blowing glass flasks, beakers, and other laboratory items before he began experimenting with creating glass art in his garage.

One of my all-time favorite songs, yet I can hardly find any others who know of this song or this album... or even this band for that matter. Hopefully my post can help spread the music of Bel Canto to all of you beautiful listeners on here ✨

How/Why did your ocs become immortal? How long have they all been alive, and how do they feel about their immortality?

So, Caelan and Kore are both magicians. Magic in my universe automatically comes with a free immortality guarantee. With that being said! Kore was an alchemist looking for the secret to eternal life, and she discovered it. Her magic hadn't kicked in yet, so she wasn't immortal at the time, but when she took her own serum to test if it worked on humans, it IMMEDIATELY set off all her magic all at once. Along with turning her immortal and giving her access to magical power, the stress of all that magic hitting her at once turned some of her hair permanently white.

Sylvia, however, is the outlier of the two. She is a 100% bona-fide normal human with not a magical bone in her body. However, she ticked off an ancient sorceress who cursed her to immortality when she was roughly 30 (actual number 27, but that's very arbitrary)

Caelan Jr. and Sylvia were both born sometime in the 6th century AD, about 15 years apart from each other (Caelan's older in terms of years, but he's eternally 17)

Caelan's magic kicked in to save his life from disease. Sylvia's immortality, as earlier stated, came as a curse.

Kore was born much earlier, sometime a bit before Alexander the Great in Greece.

Caelan is pretty fond of his immortality. Teenagers tend to think they're unkillable, and in his case, that's true (he can still be cast into a state worse than death though, so. Be careful, dude)! He LOVES that he has enough time to try everything the world has to offer. The one thing he's not SUPER fond of is how he's stuck at 17, because adults tend to treat him like a kid. Which he is, but he's also a super responsible immortal being who raised a whole child, thank you very much

Kore has a more nuanced view on her immortality. On the one hand, she MADE her own immortality (sort of), so she's very proud of that feat. And being immortal gave her the chance to finish the other side of her work; figuring out how to take immortality away. With that being said, she was trapped in a tree for about 8 or 9 centuries, which was none too fun. And one of the reasons she was figuring out immortality was because she was sick of magicians/gods stepping all over mortals and she wanted a way to fight back and kill them. So for her, immortality and magic at large are both a boon and a very dangerous curse

Despite the fact that her immortality was cast as a curse, Sylvia's learned to see it as a good thing. For her, immortality gives her the chance to help people she otherwise couldn't help. She becomes a field medic during WW1 because she, unlike others, can survive the chlorine and mustard gas. Even if it wrecks her health for eternity, she thinks it's worth it to save lives. For the first century or so, though, she DESPISES her immortality, since it means all of her loved ones (sans Caelan) got old and died without her. She and Wolf had JUST cleared how they felt about each other, and now she can't be with him, and that tears her up for a long while. She always remains a little stuck in the past, mourning the loss of the life she would have had without the curse.
