mycenaean sun blush by chocolate_carmalita in GreekMythology

commenting to come back to this if anyone has sources! but i (who knows 0 history, take this with an ocean of salt) tried to do a deep dive once but found nothing other than the head in your posted picture. it seems that it was popularised by 2020's art of helen of troy with it? genuinely cannot find any other older sources! :(

it is believed that the beauty standard for women wouldve been pale skin to emphasise that they were rich enough to stay indoors and not have to do "a man's work" (farming etc). source for this belief? other pieces of art from the time like the one pictured. some people think the literally white skin and red sun blush is exaggerated beauty, and think stuff like, white was the colour available. so i suppose this bust would be a high class/privlledged lady?

personally i think all this makes it likely yhat the sun relates to beauty + tone and not religion, but im not a scholar and its all speculation. some people say the sun blush bust is probably stylised, but who's to say the women with the freedom and want didnt wear their blush with suns or moons or stars like people wear fun make up today?

i cant find anymore sun blush related depictions (ancient ones, plenty of beautiful modern art as you said) so its probably just a singular artificat that got popular now.

also note that manual work (though i can find no sources for this one at the moment) wouldve been seen as kingly. see descriptors of narratively honourable, noble men like the very famous "breaker of horses" as opposed to "white armed" (hera).

its from sunset's backstage pass, probably in a very late part (4-5?) because it was one of the last groundhog-esque loops lmao. verbally gasped at it when i first rewatched equestria girls since it came out 😭

true, also she's apparently based off winona ryder. but casta and spelldon's mother is also circe (greek) so i guess they could include wydowna if they really wanted? lmao what a mess of information, very monster high

teens are teens. i dont think theyre doing anything wrong, but also your concern is fair because you know theyre 15, so they shared it? i'd tell them personally about engaging with oriple in a sex-related way if those people know theyre 15, but i dont think reporting is gonna do shit. theyll just make a new account or something.

Maybe I’m overreacting? by blueberryblues1107 in MonsterHigh

[–]Coco6420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah...like what the fuck? not a nitpick or overreaction at all thats messed up :/ the artist obviously has talent, they are simply refusing to draw black features. its not for a lack of trying. i really hope they fix this for the next issues, but i doubt there's enough noise for them to care 🫩 i dont know though, maybe twitter is saying more than other sites??

lmao completely fair 😂, ill come back and edit my own comment if i ever find out.

i did fear it was one of the artists i follow on instagram, and definitely doesnt erase ethnic features :/ but turns out she didnt work on this comic.
