Gothic Architecture: A Timeless Expression of Art and Power

Gothic architecture, a style that dominated European building from the 12th to the 16th century, is known for its grandeur, intricate designs, and spiritual significance. Originating in France with the construction of the Basilica of Saint-Denis, Gothic architecture quickly spread across Europe, leaving a lasting impression on cathedrals, churches, and civic buildings.

One of the most notable features of Gothic architecture is its verticality, with tall spires, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults that seem to reach toward the heavens. These elements not only emphasized the importance of faith but also demonstrated advancements in engineering, allowing buildings to be taller and more stable than their predecessors. Flying buttresses, external supports that transferred the weight of the roof, were crucial innovations, enabling walls to be thinner and allowing for the inclusion of large stained-glass windows. These windows became iconic features, filling the interior with colorful light and telling biblical stories through art.

Inside Gothic structures, the space often felt ethereal, with towering columns and high ceilings creating a sense of awe. The detailed ornamentation, including gargoyles, sculptures, and decorative stonework, added to the dramatic effect, combining functionality with beauty.

Gothic architecture reflected the power of the church and the state, showcasing wealth, faith, and artistic achievement. Notable examples include the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the Cologne Cathedral in Germany, and Westminster Abbey in England.

Today, Gothic architecture remains an inspiration for modern design, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary buildings that aim to capture a sense of drama, elegance, and awe.

Morte

Eles caminham sozinhos no escuro,

sem visão ou audição.

Seu tato é inútil,

só podem tocar um palmo a sua frente

e sem nenhuma percepção.

Eles gritam mas ninguém os escuta.

Eles buscam sem conseguir jamais ajuda.

Eles caminham sozinhos no escuro,

e eles estão sem voz.

Estão sem voz,

ninguém os escuta.

i've briefly spoken about this before, but the concept of hal and ollie physically fighting has GOT to be my favourite thing ever.

ollie who will throw PUNCHES, versed by hal "dude i have fucking superpowers????" jordan.

ollie will go in with the logic 'i can at least get in ONE good hit before he restrains me completely. at least he'll have to feel that'. he KNOWS he'll never win, but when he's angry he's just determined to make hal feel any amount of hurt.

one second ollie's fist has just met hal's face, the next he's being held up by his shirt like a kitten by their scruff, by a big, green, glowing hand that hal conjured up in seconds.

hal won't engage in fighting, but after asking "are you done now?", he won't hesitate to drop him from that hand with no padded landing.

i think this is the most normal brother moment they've ever had

[allthegothihopgirls]

bruce is so flabberghasted because he hasn't gotten this much attitude and talk-back since dick was robin

[allthegothihopgirls]

i want to believe that the other batboys get so caught up in how damian NEVER acts like a normal child, that whenever they see him engaging in regular kid activities™ everyone is on high alert whilst trying to preserve the moment.

tim's with kon and they walk past jon's room to see him and damian playing toy cars? they start walking faster until they're a safe distance away, to stop in their tracks and share a mutual "what the fuck???"

jason and damian are arguing, something jason says strikes a nerve, and damian just stops and breaks the stoic act. jason has NO clue what to do with himself, because nothing he's ever said has gotten a non-violent reaction out of the kid.

dick's taking damian to the cinemas, and lets him pick what they watch. damian picks a kids movie, and doesn't make comments about it seeming 'childish' or 'boring', instead he looks genuinely interested. dick goes along with it but is really taken aback.

damian's patrolling with the other boys, and sustains a mild injury. everyone's used to him fixing himself up and never making a big deal out of it. they've seen him break bones and refuse medical attention, mainly because of how the league trained him. so when they get back to the batcave, and are all getting fixed up in the infirmary, everyone's shocked when damian, sitting to the side about to patch himself up, starts crying, because he's exhausted and hurt.

whenever the boys see damian asleep anywhere but his room, they make sure to tip-toe past and tell the others not to wake him. usually when this happens it's because he's been so exhausted, that he's sat down to watch a show, been playing with titus, or doing schoolwork, and he's just fallen asleep in the middle of it. afterwards, dick especially, makes sure that damian's sleeping enough, which is hard, because no one can tell that he's tired until he physically passes out.

jason todd died for this

[allthegothihopgirls]

bruce wayne dropping in on the batboy's conversations randomly, hoping that he'll hear something intellectual or interesting, but instead gets hit with the stupidest shit he's ever heard in his life, every time.

jason: "hey dick can you tell tim that armadillos aren't real?"

dick: "...why would i tell him that???"

jason: "because he thinks they're real?"

dick: "jason."

tim: "I TOLD YOU!!!"

[allthegothihopgirls]

anyways i think bruce historically takes the batboys on an annual fishing trip which they all hate so so so much. it gets to the point where it's only tim accompanying him, because unlike dick or jason, tim would simply disintegrate from guilt if he stayed home.

then cass comes along and bruce thinks "oh no well there goes my fishing trips. all of the boys hate them anyways... and it's not like i can take a GIRL fishing."

cue bruce and cass, alone next to some dinky old river with nothing but their fishing rods and an esky full of cold beers, wearing a matching pair of fuckass fishing hats, both religiously applying sunscreen and bug spray.

old ladies love red hood NOT because he helps them cross roads and seems like a charming young man. they love him because at the end of the night, when he's crouched over catching his breath, head in hands in what he thinks is an empty street, or hobbling down roads trying to get home quickly despite sustaining large injuries, he reminds them of their grandsons.

he gets invited into their homes, and knows better than to decline. he'll sit down and wait to be berated by the old lady at the other side of the kitchen who's putting together a quick meal for him. he'll take off the helmet, and that's when she starts, not telling him to stop what he does, but to take better damn care of himself. he'll apologise and promise, as he's fixing himself up with her first aid kit.

as he leaves she'll still be making firm, although loving remarks at him, but he smiles underneath the helmet because he's being treated like a man, not a hero, a villain, or any of the other inhuman titles he's picked up over the years.

they saved the world and now it's time for their bimonthly polycule double date.

[allthegothihopgirls]

clark grounds jonathan from his phone, and promptly receives a message from damian saying.

"Clark,

I am aware of the need for consequence in a child's upbringing. However, Jon and I have important matters to attend to, which you have interrupted by disallowing his use of a mobile device. I do not deem it necessary to inform you of the explicit details of those matters, but you must know that they are of an urgent nature.

May I have you reminded of who carries the Green K on them at all times, and whom that could be fatal to.

Regards, Damian"

bruce actually laughs when clark shows him.

[allthegothihopgirls]

i think sometimes 'jane austen girly' jason todd would try and screw with damian after getting particularly agitated by his never-ending formality, and just start matching it in every conversation.

he turns into a walking shakespeare play until damian himself gets annoyed at the way he's being spoken to and tones it down.

[allthegothihopgirls]

HE'S JUST A BABY OHMYGODDDD

[allthegothihopgirls]

thinking about how STUBBORN jason is. all the time.

specifically that one interaction where dick's trying to explain to him that he can't use a gun to solve every problem.

and jason responds "yeah, that's why i carry two guns"
