casual Medea appears on your TL
an artwork By Spindle of the character Medea, a woman with green hair tied up in a big bun, a golden hairband, bell earrings*, white low-cut shirt and pink panties. Lying on her stomach, reading from a holographic screen and smoking. *These bells don't make sound within the human hearing range btw, (I know this isn't exactly a lore-focused art but i'll share the bit of lore here, kek). She can, at will, make them ring in a tone that only "spirits" can hear and attract them to her. (She's a scavenger in the D.U.N.E. era of my setting)

Ask the average fifteen year old girl how many grown men have hit on her in the past year, and, well, you'll get a very enlightening answer.

"How common is pedophilia, really?" is a question not a lot of people want to ask but uh

I mean for me the disturbing thing is the implication it creates in terms of how many men out there are only refraining from fucking kids because they can't afford to get away with it. I used to think the number was a lot higher.

More paintings. Maybe I'll do a short series of studies on just dogs in portraits (the best part), I really enjoyed it.
A view of the European sculpture area in the met gala. There are huge multi-story windows in the bg, extending onto the room. A tiny artist is sitting and doing a charcoal drawing of one of the big marble sculptures in the center. There's a huge marble column on the right, and some arched doorways on the left. The overall colors are warm yellow/peach in the light, and cyan in the shadows. Text below reads "met gala 11/2/23". Text below reads "11/3/25 - paolo veronese study - greyhound". A close up of the best part this Veronese painting in the Met. A greyhound with floppy ears and a red collar looks to the left. The person posing for the portrait has a hand touching their chest, seemingly holding them back. It's a very loose painting with rough brush strokes and details mainly on the dog. In my opinion it looks like this greyhound is inspecting their wealthy owner's pocket for treats. Quite timeless.

Ok. Emergency call for help & advice ✨

I am going to be helping my friend through an abortion in the coming week, so I am trying to think of supplies and things to make them feel better/more comfortable

Anything else that's recommended, please suggest them 💕
