Selected Works from Marie Laurencin

Marie Laurencin was a remarkable artist in the early 20th-century Parisian avant-garde, known for her contributions to the Cubist art movement and distinctively feminine aesthetic which often centered on the representation of groups of women and animals. Her work is recognized by the recurring use of ethereal feminine figures and soft pastels.

Laurencin was born in 1883 in Paris, and she found herself immersed in the vibrant cultural milieu of the French capital. She was a pioneering female artist in an era dominated by men, making her mark in paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints. Laurencin's art is often associated with Cubism, though she was originally inspired by Fauvism. While she was closely associated with Cubist artists like Picasso and Braqu, her work had a unique and distinct style that set her apart from her contemporaries. Her use of soft, pastel colors and her focus on women reflected he fascination with femininity and the female form. Her sexuality was also an integral part of her identity and artistic expression. She had romantic relationships with both men and women before and after her marriage and subsequent divorce. Her exploration of sensuality and appreciation for women is recognizable in her works.

vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.

[honourablejester]

Whereas lycanthropy poses the question “what if there was a wild destructive urge buried inside you to shed all cares and social bonds and pretensions of civilisation in one fell swoop, to tear your whole stultifying life apart around yourself in a glorious bout of transformation, and then you woke up and had to deal with the consequences of that, both to yourself and to everyone around you?” and yeah, as a person with no issues whatsoever, naturally cannot relate there either. Heh.

I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

I know there's a popular headcanon that Grace's crew died because of feeding tubes malfunction (based on the paperwork Grace was doing right before the explosion), but — in the book he specifically says that even after the accident he kept dealing with that same paperwork on minor Hail Mary issues, so I doubt that feeding tube problem was left unaddressed. May I offer instead:

Grace was put into coma by the people who cared about him. They (especially Yáo being Yáo) probably double-triple-quadruple checked everything. They watched him sleep for those first few days — I doubt they went into coma immediately after leaving Earth's orbit. They probably talked to him, assuring him that he'll be okay.

Ilyukhina's coma procedure was probably supervised by Yáo. He made sure that everything was in order, but — he is just one man and he is not a doctor. There was much more room for mistakes.

When Yáo went to sleep, he was alone. He had to rely on the technology completely.

We know that he died first.
