Caroline, assistant to Cave Johnson, testifies at the Senate hearings on missing astronauts, 1968.

"You really think Caroline would do that? Just go to the senate and tell lies?" Are you kidding? She'll give her LIFE for Aperture.

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

Spent at least an hour on a wild and fruitless goose chase of trying to dig up a certain thing on my old social media acc, and, gotta say, this only made me appreciate Tunglr's ability to preserve posts even more. Deleted? Edited? OP deactivated? 0 notes Schrodinger's post? Who cares. If anyone ever reblogged it, it will live forever, "this post violated community guidelines™" nonsense notwithstanding.

18th century + harp portraits

The harp became popular in the 18th century as a more intimate instrument suited for salons and intellectual gatherings. The harp was introduced to opera orchestras in Gluck’s “Orpheus and Eurydice” (1762), where it mimicked the ancient lyre. After this the harp was much featured by composers like Mehul, Spontini, Lesueur and Grétny. By some it was considered a celtic heritage, the Irish harp, by others it was considered a direct link to ancient Greek lyres. The latter was of particular interest in the 18th century, when the re-discovery of Pompeii spurred an interest for everything from antiquity.

Harps from the 17th century often featured just 25 strings in a diatonic scale. The 18th century came with many inventions in this aspect. Harps were now usually made with 35-38 strings, and they had a chromatic scale, thus creating bigger liberty in sound and style for the performer. The pedal harp were also introduced around 1720. The pedals allowed the performer to have both hands free and instead use the feet to change the pitch of the strings.

The harp was considered the ultimate showpiece instrument, displaying the grace, talent and intellect of the performer. No wonder then that there are so many wonderful harp portraits from the 18th century! Here’s some favourites.

Not that anyone cares, but the more I look at that one Роrtаl AU of mine, the more it dawns on me that what I've actually written is a cheap Slау The Рrinсеss knock-off.

And, to be fair, I don't mean it as a negative! SТР has become a great source of confidence and inspiration for this AU; it helped me understand what I want to achieve with it, both narratively and visually. And hey, if a little bit of that game's greatness rubs off on my work, I'd be more than happy — let's think of it like I'm making a master copy.

Past me would've never believed it if I told her that this whole thing will have to marinate in our head for several years and take inspiration from an entirely different game that wouldn't exist for quite a while. And yet! Being patient with yourself and your craft does wonders.

Also also, this is how you know I enjoyed this game. Making weird crossovers might as well be my ultimate love language.
