Giotto di Bondone, Compianto sul Cristo morto
what do you think made anya realize she was a lesbian?
lack of attraction to men was the first sign, probably! this is something that anya hasn't exactly been consciously aware of, for the most of her life—for her, she always just had this feeling she was different from her peers when growing up. she wasn't quite like other girls—always a bit quirky and unusual. when girls her age started crushing on boys, anya simply didn't.
being raised by 'traditional' russian parents didn't aid in her discovery, as neither of her parents were particularly keen on informing her about gay people—at the same time, though, it wasn't the worst it could be. neither of them really pressured anya to be with men, so there was that.
anya most likely would've discovered her attraction to women in a distant, faraway manner—through media, after moving to america. maybe through some of those reality tv shows that are her guilty pleasure. maybe she saw too many sexy women on tv and eventually realized, 'oh, god, i'm into them! now it all makes sense!'
...but that'd likely not be something she openly shares, or admits to herself too offen. now, in a scenario where she develops affection towards another woman, THAT is where anya would, for sure, acknowledge her lesbianism. without a shadow of a doubt. falling in love with a woman would definitely make her realize that she is, in fact, so gay.
HAND TEMBLED AS it gripped @crocifissione's, giving it a squeeze within his grasp. sometimes joseph can feel how his eyes struggle to focus on the other - to be able to meet those stunning fierce eyes of his. being grateful is an unerstatment , even as they share this hospital bed that can hardly contain the pair , knowing he has caesar back fills his heart with such joy it could burst ! but ... does their last conversation affect caesar at all ? ' i had convinced myself that i was the cause of everything during your absence ----- -- ' he felt how throat clenched from guilt , bringing caesar's hand up and giving it a brief kiss to help ground erratic thoughts. ' our last conversation wasn't even a conversation ... we fought , and i said some insensitive things that i should've. i was the reason why you ran off and in unthinkable pain now ... ' BROWS STITCHED TOGETHER as he felt remorse consume him - it was unlike him to express such feelings but ... the overwhelming thoughts were spilling into every facet of his life , and trying to move on left him wandering. it was hardly a state of living - but the waiting lead him back to caesar. ' i'm ... i'm sorry for everything. are you not the slightest bit mad at me ? ' eyes continue to stare at clasped hands , heart racing at the thought of a negative answer coming from someone so important within his life.
Lei credeva di stringere in quel corpo
disincarnato, esangue, il suo ragazzo
morto a trentatré anni per oscure
trame di tribunali.
Se le avessero detto che stringeva
a sé l'intero mondo e la sua Storia
non l'avrebbe capito. Erano solo
un figlio con sua madre.
[Maria Luisa Spaziani]
@crocifissione
who are you.
With one, swift (it's kind of impressive, actually, how quick they are.) shuffle, Ji Soo's immediately standing as close as physically possible in front of the other. Both arms were as straight as boards, hands joined together at their gut.
"Why, I'm someone who wants to be your new friend, gehehe!"
Jacopo Tintoretto: Crocifissione, 1565
Sul Calvario in sacrificio d’amore
La vera devozione è imitazione e che la vetta dell’amore non si raggiunge senza aver scalato la vetta del dolore, quindi la vera devozione a Gesù Crocifisso è missione a “corredimere”, è lasciarsi crocifiggere con Lui e per Lui: questo ha fatto padre Pio! (more…) “”
