weird shoutout but okay
22 Aug 2022 10:23 pmOMG, the protagonist in Resident Evil just got home and went into her own bedroom for the first time and there's a huge gilt-framed blast from a past OTP of mine on the wall: Pierrot and Harlequin by Paul Cezanne!

Cezanne's Pierrot and Harlequin followed by what accidentally turned out to be my favorite of my numerous pieces of Pierrot/Harlequin fanart from 2019's deep dive
(In 2019 I fell down a rabbithole that somehow led to lots of the history of Pierrot, and Commedia dell'Arte, and Harlequin, and somehow shipping Pierrot/Harlequin - which isn't actually a thing, to be clear. Aside from a couple of other people who have made fanart that I've discovered, and of course all the pairings of the two in the western art canon like the above, but those are usually not intended romantically.)
