I saw on one of your recent posts that you mentioned you had looked at a lot of art history lately! as someone who loves art history, I was curious what period of art history you were interested in? if you don't mind me asking

hello! yes okay i'd love to talk about art!!!

so i don't look into art like....in depth or anything, it's just paintings i find pretty that i read more into. i would say that for me the two periods of art i'm most drawn to at the moment are pre-raphaelite and rococo.

pre raphaelite: what draws me the most to these paintings are the way the subjects have such a modern feel to them ... it gives me chills sometimes. there's such a modern, 21st century feel to the way these women are drawn. i feel like i could pass by one of these ladies on the street. they're so gorgeous!!

rococo: such a short period but!! the brightness and softness of the colors never fail to make me smile. i would love to see a rococo painting irl one day.....

love your modern au twin jades headcanons! both lxc and lwj would absolutely be against capitalism and refuse to monetarily support big chain companies as much as possible. (also, lwj would be very supportive of his anarchist boyfriend wwx, despite how badly it offends his traditional family)

jhsdjkfhkjf look, if wwx isn't on the run from the law or didn't get arrested at least once, then is it even a modao modern au?

what do you think of hamlet? it's one of my favorite pieces of literature and I've been yearning to reread it lately

as i've only just recently read it, like finished it less than 24 hours ago, i don't have coherent analytic thoughts at the moment, but i enjoyed it way more than i thought! i thought it was going to be dense and a chore to get though ... i thought the language was going to be very challenging. i think that's why i just never bothered to read shakespeare on my own before, i was intimated. but i was very pleasantly surprised!! (not ashamed to say i did have the modern translation open on the side as i read) i loved the multi dimensional-ness of the characters, hamlet especially. loved seeing all the different parts of him, and his interactions with everyone else. i love how much snark and angst is contained within him, and how he's constantly hovering back and forth between uncertainty and resolve, like 'Yes this time for sure i'm going to do x' and then he just.... doesn't do it.... he's truly unable to actually turn his very passionate thoughts into actions. i love how he thinks so deeply about things yet his thoughts contradict his actions, like when we're first introduced to him he's like 'outward appearances aren't enough to deduce one's true self, it's what's on the inside that really counts' yet his grand plan for dissolving his doubts once and for all re: his father's ghost is to put on a play and then judge claudius's reaction to that—‘if he do blench’—and somehow that'll be all the proof hamlet needs to enact and justify his revenge ..... he really truly reminds me of a child. like his heart isn't hardened enough to the point where he can just dispose of someone so easily....he needs proof and he needs assurance that what he's going to do is justifiable in some way. and yet! how easily he stabs polonius through the arras 😔 that's just a small facet of the many things i could say about this play ... also this might sound odd but i always tend to associate these very old writers as writing from a place of....stiff decorum....they're just so far back that i can't really conceive of them as people like you and me—history tends to make us think that way of people long past—but it was very clear reading hamlet that shakespeare has such a wonderful way with words and he must have had quite a bit of fun writing all of hamlet’s rebuttals to claudius and polonius in the guise of his madness. it really made me smile to feel how alive his language is, the way he plays with words. so shakespeare no longer feels like some cold, distant towering enigma to me and i love that.
