"The Annunciation" by Doménikos Theotokópoulos called El Greco. Mary wearing a silvery red robe and a blue cloak stands opposite an angel wearing a yellow wrap skirt. Above them the heavens open, and a white dove descends

The Opening of the Fifth Seal, by El Greco.
St. John, arms raised, clad in silvery blue in front of a group of unclothed humans. There are green and yellow cloaks being draped over them. Again a very dramatic sky.

The painting "View of Toledo" by El Greco. The city of Toledo in Castille, Spain is depicted  in a silvery-blue colour against the green hills and the magnificent sky in hues of blue, white and grey

CW: Gore, artistically depicted.
On a more positive note, there are works of the renaissance that I do really like. Especially the ones that feel a bit expressionist. Works from the Danube School, or of Lucas Cranach for example

What do we think of my new water bottle ? It looks like a bottle of curry ketchup, and they are sold by the same company that produces the ketchup. Also I saw a pheasant today

I don't care for Florence, I don't care for Rome and I don't care for Botticelli, or Da Vinci, Filippo Lippi, or Brunelleschi. I do like El Greco tho. It's kind of like SNL to me, like I don't mind people liking it, but I fundamentally don't get the appeal

Cat saying "he has no brain cells"

Not that anyone asked but: I don't really care for the (Italian) Renaissance. Like neither in terms of architecture, paintings or the concept as whole. Maybe it's because it's so highly talked about and then just underdelivers, or maybe because it feels in sentiment so close to the victorian era

Took a short break from studying for my exams and went to see some of my favourite animals. Also got a very nice view of my home town

Big news on the autism front. There's an app where you can log the number plates you've seen. German number plates have one to three letters at the beginning indicating the county the vehicle is registered in. There are more than 800 area codes, and I've already seen 219 since Monday

death of the author is intended as a framework for literary analysis that entails disregarding paratext and the intentions of the creator in order to create an "objective" analysis of a text.

it's not intended as a way to absolve yourself of guilt for financially contributing to a creator who sucks

Yeah, basically everything seems to be an invitation for some people to say anything from "oh I could never" to "I'll eat twice the amount of meat to make up for you"

Maybe it's nostalgia. One of the few fond memories of my childhood is of the huge magnolia tree in front of the house i lived in. Or maybe it's them representing spring and flowering around my birthday
