Went to an art museum recently and when I was looking at the statues I just couldn't stop thinking about Adored! Like these two in particular had me staring for so long because I kept thinking about how gentle the features looked, or how the movement of the muscle was captured.
Literally your impact though... (It also made me think about how in tqatd there HAS to be a portrait or bust or something of the Captain and Pat deserves his own Louvre moment lol)
bro did u just send a Caracalla bust to a classics student and expect them not to freak out!! (I'm certain it's him - my man is famous for his hair and scowl - but if it's not then please pretend for the sake of my dignity)
I could go OFF about the specific types of Roman portraits istg I spent 2 months obsessed with six of the busts in the BM while writing an essay about them in my second year at uni. It's the curly hair that gets to me every time. Lucius Verus's hair is mesmerising.
god and that statue of Pan? The bones in the legs, the hair, the muscles on his arm,, I'm obsessed!!
and damnnn I hadn't thought about that in tqatd! idk if it's spoilers or not but I feel like Cap isn't an old enough vampire to have a bust, and he's lived too solitary a life to have a portrait done. but a sketch could work! I'll give it some thought for sure!!
edit: I forgot to say thank you for sending these!!
