🎉✨️happy 10th anniversary to PEAK 🎉🎊

+ closer on the two halves bc its a pretty long canvas. I wasn't originally going to make a piece and then decided last minute because I mean. come on I gotta!!! Not only is the game itself 10 years old but this also marks 10 years I've been a fan of it :) shoutout to asriel dreemurr for being my absolute goat when I was in middle school

undertale tells a lot of stories but maybe my favorite one of the stories it tells is the story about a sad, angry, hateful child, who on being really and truly loved for the first time decided they were willing to die in order to kill anyone who could possibly hurt their family; and how by being unfailingly kind, and open, and helping and befriending the people who lash out at you in fear and despair, you can help even that child to a happier and more peaceful ending, to the belief that things can be okay

and how this character’s arc is told entirely through details in the flavor text and narration

[theradioghost]

if you play a genocide run then there’s plenty of evidence that the “narrator” is the fallen child, taking control of Frisk. the ending, for one, but also the way that the flavor text etc changes, like the mirror saying “It’s me, Chara” when you look into it (also contrasting with Frisk always being referred to in the second person)

unlike dialogue from the other characters, the flavor text doesn’t have a talksprite, just the little asterisk at the start. ergo in a pacifist run, the “Despite everything, it’s still you” when you look into the mirror in Home and the “Still just you, Frisk” if you go back to New Home after the endgame and look in the mirror are both Chara. so is this

play undertale, the skeleton meme game, and help the lost, formerly vengeful spirit of a dead child hug their brother one last time

[theradioghost]

#no i am not over undertale thank you for asking #just!!! just thinking about when the game tells you that there’s one more person you can SAVE #but there are TWO people!!! there’s a second person you’ve been saving all along #just by being kind and showing a scared hurt child that things can be okay #and like. frisk doesn’t really have a character arc as the protagonist because the game explicitly acknowledges #that YOU’RE the one controlling them and acting. it’s your choices. not theirs #YOU’RE the one who is supposed to learn and grow and change over the course of undertale #learn to be kinder and more hopeful. which in my opinion is one reason why you’re supposed to give Chara your name #it’s a story about the both of you and whether or not you can progress from your initial belief #that this is a world that works a certain way where humans and monsters kill each other #and learn to believe instead that. things can be better than that. the world can be better than that. you can be better than that

i put this in the tags and then i thought no, actually, I want this part of the rant to be directly inflicted on everyone too

[the-unrelated-theorist]

“It’s me, Chara!” -overjoyed at having been able to bond with a vessel

“Despite everything, it’s still you.” -a little sour that they’ve been leading us this whole time but could never become more than a ghost

“Still just you, Frisk.” -at peace with it because they’ve been saved, anyway

not to be a nerd but it’s so crazy how he (Bernini) really did that from cold hard stone……. truly a spectacle, truly breathtaking, an honor to behold

[dontgetmadgetmaddie]

I think you should know he was 23 when he finished this and the ass gets a lot of attention but the hand on Persepina’s side/tummy is also exquisite

[assignedfaggatbirth]

before i saw the caption I knew that HAD to be bernini.

I try not to make sweeping statements but I think there’s a case to be made for bernini as the greater sculptor there’s ever been.

here’s his bust of costanza bonarelli

here’s apollo and daphne from the front, where she’s mostly human

from the back, where she’s mostly tree

and details

[bogleech]

this is the one art form I genuinely just cannot get my brain to accept as real. I’ve watched sped-up videos of it being done, read about it, seen in-progress marble statues and I still just can’t get it to sink in or stick. My mind doesn’t want to believe that any person has ever been able to start with a big block and break little bits off of it until it looks like a finely detailed person. At some point it has no recognizable shape and they still know where and how deep they should take a chip out of it that’ll still be the right decision 50,000 fucking chips later?!?

The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa has a hidden skylight for gold rays of actual light to shine down on their expressions and clothes and clouds.

[kogiopsis]

Hi yes I have been there and seen all of these IRL and I have some more pictures to share:

Insanely detailed feet with veins from “Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius”

Another foot from the same statue because a) he textured underside of the foot and the folds of skin in the arch and b) can you see the light coming through the thin marble between the toes?

One of the mouths of Cerberus from “The Rape of Prosperina”.

Prosperina/Persephone’s facial expression and HAIR TEXTURE

Hades’ hair as well - this man was entirely too good at making CURLS out of ROCK.

A (poorly lit) close-up on the tree textures from “Apollo and Daphne”.

Hand, sling, and rock from “David” which I think deserves to be at LEAST as well-known as Michelangelo’s. Saw them two days apart and I prefer Bernini, honestly.

Facial expression from “David” - I just love the character in this so much.

Kind of a weird angle but look at the texturing on the sling pouch!!!

We also got to see one of Bernini’s earliest works (possibly his very first) in the Uffizi; it’s not currently on display, unfortunately, but look at this:

Forgive the poor photo quality but. He was 14 when he carved this. FOURTEEN.

Man was a straight-up wizard.

In conclusion: if you get the chance to visit the Borghese Gallery in Rome (which has the most Bernini sculptures gathered in one place), do it. The “Ecstasy of St. Theresa” is in a church a short walk away from there, too, and well worth a visit. There are also several more Berninis in churches around Rome which can be visited for free or for a nominal donation! Just… be smarter than we were and make sure you’re not trying to visit them on days they have services.

I agree, with a degree in art history, can’t wrap my brain around it either. It

’s definitely WIZARDRY.
