#windows series

[lou-bonfightme]

Windows is a series of paintings created between 1912 and 1913 by the French painter Robert Delaunay.

The paintings in the Windows series are abstract but they were not entirely non-figurative. The paintings are intended to represent the view of Paris out a window, and upon close inspection, the viewer may be able to make out the figure of the Eiffel Tower.

Delaunay does not intend to represent reality as we observe it, but instead he attempts to represent the act of seeing itself. Through the fragmenting of the composition and placement of color, Delaunay slows the gaze of the viewer. He was particularly interested in how what the eye sees is not the same as visual perception. He wanted to demonstrate how visual perception also relies on previous knowledge, hence the reason why the Eiffel Tower is apparent in the paintings of this series. [wikipedia]

Honestly, I think from the moment that Percy found out that not every demigod has a loving mortal parent they can depend on, when they already can't depend on the gods, and that Annabeth specifically, hasn't had anyone take care of her like that since she was 7, he decided he would be the one to.

They take care of each other up to that point, but I think that's when he starts noticing how much she takes care of them. She already knew if she didn't no one else will. She protects them against humans, she stands with them against monsters, she always brings up the rear of the group when they're running, and she is always the first one to make a move when they're fighting. She does it because no one is going to protect her if she doesn't do it herself. No one is going to protect Grover and Percy if she isn't.

In the arch, he pretty much tells her he would fight the gods for her, and then he goes on to do just that.

Athena, the one person who was supposed to protect her willingly pushes monsters her way, she lets Echidna and the chimera into a place that was supposed to be safe. Her decision is that Annabeth should be punished, and say what you want, but I think she knew that Annabeth would think through every scenario and know that someone had to stay and hold them back. And I think she knew that Annabeth would be the one to stay. Because that's the way she raised her, knowing that no one cared whether she lived or died. And I think that's the cruellest part.

Which is why Percy's sacrifice means so much more. He not only made the decision to trade his life for hers and fight the monster so she and Grover could escape, but he also made the conscious choice to push back against Athena's wishes. He fought a goddess for her, Athena said "Annabeth will die for her impertinence" and Percy said "Not today, not ever"

I am simultaneously deliriously in love with the ending of Loki season 2 and absolutely loathe it

On one hand…Shakespearean tragedy at its finest, essentially circling back to Loki’s original Thor 2011 character arc by reversing it, and Loki has literally ascended to godhood. In the end, Loki’s ultimate selfless sacrifice was to sit upon the highest throne in the multiverse, and that to me is tragically ironically beautiful

On the other hand…Loki being alone makes me want to burn Marvel studios to the ground and do other unspeakable things

Best and worst ending of all time f u Eric Martin

Went and hurt my own feelings with this one, oops

I never planned on making fanart for @somerandomdudelmao's series but I recently made a connection between it and that one tweet that permanently altered my brain chemistry so I couldn't NOT make something

In which Marie come to Meadowview to attend therapy with Toulouse…[takes place: mid-November]

TOULOUSE: Marie had arrived yesterday, late enough in the afternoon that they had only managed a quick stroll through the gardens before heading to dinner. (Yes, Toulouse could leave. He was there voluntarily.) 

Dinner was pleasant enough. Toulouse asked Marie plenty of questions, about their mother, Nounou, Amelia and Abigail, her insipid boyfriend. Anything that would distract Marie from asking him questions. About how he was. How things were going. He felt a buzzing under his skin that he hadn’t felt since arriving at Meadowview. 

It energized him. But, at the same time, he felt suddenly, immediately, exhausted by it. He hadn’t realized how tired he was until he came to Meadowview. All his responsibilities had melted away and he became someone who simply--slept. 

He had been sleeping until he saw Marie’s face. The first familiar thing. 

Yet, she also brought with her those responsibilities. Everything that Lou had been happy to leave behind. Now, they had a therapy session scheduled and Toulouse already felt exhausted. Guilty and horrible. Yet, he met Marie at the front desk when she checked in--smiled at her, kissed her cheek--then led her to Dr. Horne’s now-familiar office. 

Dr. Horne had a discerning personality. She was not overly coddling and she wore sensible, designer suits. Today’s was a maroon Yves St. Laurent that complimented the autumn leaves outside the large bay windows of her office. She had half-moon glasses that she liked to look over the top of when she knew you were lying about something. She always stood to greet her patients when they entered the room and today was no different.
