hello fellow "meat-is-meat-is-meat" man. here's some asks for you!
Allusion: What is your favorite myth?
Aphorism: What is your favorite quote/saying?
Appositive: What do you think is your most defining quality?
Allusion- Medusa! It has a lot of personal significance to me & I have a lot of feelings about different artistic representations of her! I have seen Canova’s Perseus with the Head of Medusa many times. Here’s a detail.
I adore the way the snakes caress her face in almost a soothing gesture. From this angle it looks distantly sad, but in person she stares hopelessly down at the viewer.
My favorite would have to be Bernini’s though! I would love to see her if I’m ever in Rome. A lot of my interactions w myth is through art history, so I’m trying to read more of them! Going to try to tackle Ovid at . Some point…
Aphorism- “Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.” From Frankenstein. What else.
Appositive- hmm that’s a hard one! I don’t really pay attention to what other people think of me? I guess my creativity?
