Là del ciel nell'arcano profondo

Like, in Versailles (although the actress is gorgeous), Marie Therese is portrayed as this sort of aloof, sexy wronged woman and I just feel….we have so much potential for what Marie Therese could have been if writers had taken their inspiration from the actual woman more. She was a dumpy, sweet little thing, with a bit of a Hapsburg lip and a penchant for hot chocolate and getting up late. She utterly adored Louis, though he only ever reciprocated in platonic love and utter respect. Antonia Fraser suspects that it was on their wedding night that Marie Therese made Louis promise he would always end up in bed with her, every night, which Louis did, up until her death; even if he’d spent most of the night in Montespan’s bed, he was meticulous about going to Marie Therese’s bed at any silly hour to be there when she woke up. She was religious, of course, being Spanish, but she seems to have been fun, in a giggly schoolgirl sort of way. The French didn’t find her very fun, but I suspect she had a charm. I feel like her repressed upbringing meant she always clinged to Louis in the way one clings to a celebrity crush or even one’s first relationship, which makes it incredibly sad to me that Louis found that the relationship he had with her wasn’t a romantically or sexually fulfilling one. Like, for example, Marie Therese’s father, the King of Spain, had forbidden anyone to show Marie Therese even a miniature of Louis prior to their wedding, but someone in the retinue of the French ambassador managed to smuggle her one, and she clustered around it with her ladies, sighing over how handsome he was. Still, when Louise de la Valliere was making her final journey from Versailles to repent in a nunnery and went to ask for Marie Therese’s blessing, Marie Therese didn’t bite back in a bitter, heartbroken way. She lifted Louise from her knees and said ‘My dear, there is nothing to forgive.’ If that had been me, Queen or not, I would’ve slapped the woman who my husband had called mistress for so many years across the face, but Marie Therese, though she was often child-like, showed great clarity and wisdom in this one instance.

“The idea is that these wonderful sort of feral creatures had lived on this planet (Crait) and had consumed the planet’s surface, and as such had become crystalline. They live within the burrows and within the tunnels beneath the planet,” Neal Scanlan, head of the Star Wars creature shop, says. “So there is a time where their ability to shine within the darkness, should provide a guiding light to our heroes.”

The creatures were designed by Aaron McBride and Pablo Hidalgo came up with their name from the Latin word for fox, and the name of the fox genus, vulpes and vertices (singular: vertex), or the corners of any polyhedron, a shape assimilated with crystals.

i love this video

As some of my friends and followers may know, my graphics pc died unexpectedly on me, requiring me to replace a barely-out-of-warranty machine with one just as expensive with very little notice. Sudden expenses are only natural when you own your own business, but that doesn’t mean the money isn’t missed. SO I’M OPENING FOR COMMISSIONS!

I’m goning do it a little differently than other people do. Instead of selling roughs or lines or colors I’m selling segments of time. So any amount of money you, interested party, are willing to spend can earn you an artwork. 

Have a dnd character in need of a bio pic but only 10 bucks? We’ll work it out.

Want a portrait of the main character of your self-published novel to use as a promotional graphic on twitter and facebook? I can pitch you a guestimate.

Have a friend who wants their favorite rarepair necking but no one makes art for it? My only rule is that it stays PG13 (and no pedophilia or incest)

If you only have a buck, I’ll take a buck. My tip jar is right here and I’ll give you a napkin doodle as a thank you. Every little bit is helpful when it comes to this campaign. Even just reblogs.

Commissions will only be open for the entire month of November. On Nov 30th commissions close and artwork begins. I only take payments through paypal so your money is protected. All drawings will be completed by Christmas so perfect for gifts! They will be posted to my tumblr and deviantart page unless I’m kindly asked not to, and printing release forms will be available on request free of charge so you can go to your local Walgreens and get your artwork on photo paper for festive wrapping and opening rituals. 

So consider Jennifer Stolzer Illustration for all your artwork needs this Nov and help a poor artist afford the tools that make her work possible!
