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.
Hey Belle, who's your favorite Ninjago character? Is it Morro?
close~ Morro’s actually my second favorite character! My favorite character is zane, but I find it difficult to draw him so I often end up drawing Morro ^_^
What counts as an au? If I had everything the same but The streak in Morro’s hair was pink would that be an au?
Hello ^_^ here’s the drawing for day two of ninjinktober, Cyborg! The definition for cyborg in the dictionary is “A fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body.” So I kinda just decided to draw Karlof because his abilities are extended beyond a normal humans, (not sure if metal counts as mechanical tho...) and his element is kinda built into his body soooo.... here ya go!
I can’t stop drawing them.... so here ya go~
Dear lord. I’m so sorry if this is annoying anyone, But i freaking love them~

This is for day 4 (heartbreak) of ninjago angst week. I feel like it must be pretty heartbreaking to realize that everything you’ve done to prove your good and worthy of being something special that you’ve told that you were supposed to be almost your whole life is actually just proving that your not going to be that. Morro tried so hard and died trying to be good but in the wrong way. I feel like when Wu tried to save Morro, Morro realized that he didn’t think he was worth saving... Or maybe I’m over thinking this idk but at least it’s angsty.
Hello, my name is Belle and I’m an aspiring artist, I don’t post very often but I hope you like my few posts. My main fandoms are Ninjago, Undertale, Steven Universe, and Detroit Become Human. I know I might not post about them very often, but I thought you should know
