Baroque قصص

A homunculus is born. Awakened in a forgotten chamber beneath a baroque palace, a homunculus finds a letter sealed with a royal crest and a warning: trust no one. Bound by blood, alchemy, and a pact, they were created not as a servant, but as a weapon-crafted by two powerful men who now stand on opposite sides of a crumbling empire. As court intrigue tightens and ancient forces stir, the homunculus must choose who to believe, who to defy... and what to become. A canvas for others' desires-unless they seize the brush themselves. Victorian/baroque drama. Forbidden magic. Alchemy. Romance. Mystery. CC BY‑SA 4.0 Credit and link to source (here) must be included when using the story. Please follow CC-Share Alike terms.

They are the epitome of enemies- as two galaxies fated to collide, and one another’s final damnation. Still, they are drawn together by some external force, pulled ever closer, though they know it only means their doom.

Sixteen-year-old Evienne de Roussel has dreamed of one thing since she was a little girl. More than anything, she wants to be a part of the glittering court of Versailles, flirt, dance, and wear beautiful clothing like her idol, Madame Pompadour. Time goes on, and on the day of her sixteenth birthday, Evienne learns something shocking about herself that will change her life forever. When family shame and tragedy bring her a new name, a new husband, and a place in Versailles, she quickly learns every dream has a dark side. Evienne meets Pierre de Ailiot, a widower with piercing blue eyes, a dimpled smile, and the most macabre job at Court. Monsieur de Ailiot paints those who are condemned to die, finding beauty and humanity in their final moments. He tries to mitigate the difficulties of his work and his broken heart with his other passion: painting beautiful women. When the two are swept together during the tumultuous demise of one of history's most opulent eras, intrigue and scandal make them both legendary--and works of art some wish to see destroyed.

Curious about art and don't know where to start? Join me as I learn about the major art movements from A-Z! There are indeed more than one in some letters (looking at you letter P) but sticking to one movement per letter (though I may add a section to include what other movements fall under that letter). Questions are answered on what is it? How did it originate? And I'll list some of the famous artists from around the world. Author's Note: This is actually supposed to be like an art picture book like you see in Art stores with each subject being it's own page with a relevant artwork (I plan to make a physical copy). I'll put a picture in the banner. ***Completed*** Constructive criticism appreciated. And if you know anything about creative commons law/copyright law, i'd love to ask you some questions!

"The Development of Baroque Musicians in Terms of Performance" was originally written as a Mid-Term paper for Senior Seminar (MUSC 498). This work focuses on how Baroque music was built upon (or perhaps given some color and taste) by music performers. Discussing Johann Sebastian Bach's "Italian Concerto BWV 971," as a major example, the author demonstrates different interpretations of the music.

A poem is usually born once. Here, each poem is reborn a thousand times. Mirabelle Flores: Multiform Poems is not just a book of verses - it is an experiment in metamorphosis. Each poem blossoms into many forms: minimalist whispers, baroque hymns, fragmented echoes, mystical prayers. And behind them, voices emerge - not masks, not inventions, but real echoes of memory, sorrow, and longing. Inner multiversal heteronyms: fragments of a self scattered across parallel universes, yet all authentic, all alive. This is not poetry to be read once and left behind. It is a mirror of many faces. A silence that multiplies into voices. A garden where the same flower blooms in endless shapes. 🌑 Step inside - and decide which voice belongs to you.
