#gloria mundi

[grandminimuscoded]

I drew Gloria as a child because I remembered the whole "raised by Teensies" thing.

What's this place, Gloria?

My, my, this is the Guild of Polokus. Reminder that he might be busy with some of the others, so we must not disturb him.

On the way home, Seth stops off at the student union to slip into something a little more studly and look around a bit. No hot guys here; but that girl over there is fine!

Her name is Gloria, she knows people at the sorority, and she does not know good music when it's mentioned to her. "Ugh, no!" "But the piano solo -" "Who cares about the piano solo? Have you listened to those disgusting lyrics?" "Who listens to lyrics?" "I do!"

Nonetheless, she condescends to accept a coffee over which to continue the discussion.

This guy she shares a class with can butt right out, though.

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Seven: Fraternity (Uni)

Both pleasure mains, Cosmo and Finn are having different college experiences. While Cosmo is madly in love with DJ Verse (they've even talked about getting engaged one day), Finn has no clue how to navigate the social aspect of being a frat lad. He takes solace in the fact that he's doing well academically, while Cosmo is teetering on the precipice of expulsion, but still... it would be nice to make it through a conversation without finding the dormies so dull! Poor Gloria Mundi didn't know what she was in for. My advice for Finn: chuck a shirt on and ask questions to get people talking!

"My, my, who could be rustling into the Muse's Realm? I thought Polokus didn't allow strangers to come in."

In Ictu Oculi and Finis Gloriae Mundi

These paintings are a pair of chilling, grim works commissioned for the Hospital de la Caridad and created by Juan de Valdés Leal (1622-1690), Baroque artist. The art pieces are masterful allegories of Death intended to remind the viewer of how universal Death is and how fleeting are the earthly delights. Together, the paintings make up Las Postrimerías - the Afterlife.

In Ictu Oculi ("in a blink of an eye") shows a grim reaper exstinguishing a candle - above it the titular text that implies the quickness with which a life goes out like a flame.

Finis Gloriae Mundi ("end of worldly glory") depicts two rotting corpses, a bishop and a knight, laying in a crypt and surrounded by allegories of money and status.

"You know Mama and Papi always say not to go to bed with anybody before they put a ring on you." "Did they say 'anybody,' or did they say 'any man?'" "Hm. Well. Now you mention it."

"Nothing to worry about then! C'mere." Yeah, Les'll get her mind off her problems!
