Belle-waves - Belle There, Done That

So for pride, my mom made a rainbow challah, thought you guys might wanna see it. Here it is before it went in the oven:

After:

And when you cut it open:

just in case anyone doesn’t know :)

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

hi, I have something to ask ya. do you know bendy and the ink machine (batim)? if so, who is your favorite?

Oh! Was this what the other ask was about? Sorry about that. Anyway, I think my favorite character is... Bendy? Mostly fan-made Bendy’s and the ones in the canon cartoons... If that doesn’t count than I think it’s Sammy ^•^
