important;; don’t be shy if you have a plot idea with me. I’m really open to these big, intricate storylines between our muses that have room to expand the characters and see development. Wanna ship our muses? Hit me up. Think my muse would be a great sibling figure to your character? Tell me. Have a cliche plot that you wanna do? I’m down. Please, I honestly love making these storylines and falling head over heels for a ship or get really emotional over relationships and enjoy how the story & characters progress.

                 oh! the sculptor has come to present to him, a riddle! leonardo is delighted. his paint brush is set carefully atop the table, head cocked to the side to take in what michelangelo is saying. he furrows his brow thoughtfully. he blinks, mulling each statement over in his mind. he believes the answer he has come up with is incorrect, but he cannot keep himself from speaking it, thus giving his answer.                  “is it love? the truest of love?” 

Of course he was excited to hear a riddle. Michelangelo was certain that he was feeling nothing but contempt, that was why his heart tightened in his chest when Leonardo’s head tilted. Of course. 

And then he sputtered at Leonardo’s response. While it wasn’t a bad answer, it was an embarrassing one.

“No! It is not! Love does not stand lower than earth--though I suppose maybe it would for you!”

Sought after by whom? The Officers of the Night?

How dare you. For one, I have never been caught by the Officers of the Night….. at least not recently.

   SANDRO CAN SOMETIMES BE TERRITORIAL WHEN IT COMES TO ART ; his rivalry with Leonardo da Vinci was of no secret - yet it was hardly worth talking about for Sandro lacked the fire for it to become public gossip & besides ; whilst he was jealous of the other , he did enjoy their heated discussions. HIS EYES NARROW HOWEVER WHEN ANOTHER ARTIST WALKS INTO HIS WORKSHOP - seeing Michelangelo does nothing but rile the man and he stops work immediately. “Are you lost?” He asks pointedly , in no mood for niceties.

Michelangelo only rolled his eyes in response and without much delay or other word--except a passing disapproving glance at whatever meager painting Botticelli seemed to be working on--he walked right up to Botticelli with a glare.

“My David should stand proudly at the entrance of the Palazzo della Signoria, in the courtyard where all can see.” He stated, getting right to the point of his unexpected visit. “It would do you well to explain that to that horse-modelling son of Nephilim you know so well!”

     “I have heard much about your work , Maestro.” The Borgia tells him simply ; dark eyes glancing around the workshop. “And so i have come , hoping i may see it for myself.”

Michelangelo would usually chase out unwanted intruders but to have the son of the Pope in his workshop, a cardinal even (former or otherwise) who was coming to see his work for himself, well, the sculptor could muster up some patience. He stood tall, or as tall as he could given his stature. “You are welcome here, my Lord. Though I have only just begun the commission for His Eminence Cardinal de la Groslaye.”

Michelangelo pays close attention to detail, in anatomy, as well as knowing how to play with the lights and shadows, as in the folds of the cloths in which the light almost slides. Or in the detail of the lying hand of Christ linked with the garment.

@iilvecchio // Cosimo de Medici

Michelangelo sat in the dark of his workshop by candlelight. How long had he been? He had stopped for a moment, wracked by grief. Before he knew it, night had fallen and he had not moved, not eaten. Simply sat. Surely the illusion of Cosimo de Medici before him was yet again proof of his unwellness, his mourning. 

“Are you here to haunt me?” He asked with an air of defeat, completely disbelieving the other was truly there. “Why is it that you visit me and not your grandson?”

@iilvecchio​ // Leonardo da Vinci

“Have you come to watch an artist at work? I know so little work gets done in your workshop, you must be here because you do not know where to begin.” Michelangelo turned back to his worktable, where his papers--mostly sketches and scattered letters--lay scattered. “Well, this is what it looks like, so keep it brief.”

maestrodarte​:

@il-divino​ sent :  “Leonardo. I trust your commissions are not getting done at all and thus you are not busy.”

              “why? are you feeling neglected?” michelangelo is right, of course. his commissions are NOT getting done at all. and have not been for near a month. “i am busy, but i can make some time for you, i suppose. if you plan on talking instead of slinging insults like one does mud.” 

What did he just-- With a deep long-suffering inhale through his nose, Michelangelo cricked his neck and rolled his eyes. 

“Just shut up and listen,” he waved a hand before Leonardo could finish his statement about insults, avoiding his gaze entirely. Then he began a recitation: “I--ugh--I embrace all those whose hearts ask of me, no one is outstanding without me, nor unfortunate. He who goes without me goes about in the company of death. And he who bears me will remain lucky forever.” Michelangelo paused as if that was it but then remembering at the last moment one more thing, he put a finger up. “But! But... But I stand lower than earth and higher than heaven.”

He waited and then looked about as if he were waiting for Leonardo to answer. Finally, he flatly stated, “What am I.”
