1. After watching “the triplets of Belleville” and being mesmerized by how far the film pushes things. Didn’t like it but sylvain chomet I’m keeping an eye on cuz “a magnificent life” sounds like it would be my thing?

Kinda making me emotional but there is in fact a higher res image of this portrait with accurate colors in the Odense Museum archives. Is it christmas😭 i swear I've looked at this a thousand times and now I can finally see the real colors and brushstrokes up close 🥹🥹

I’m on a brain blast

I only have brain power for lineups that go nowhere rn damn it

We both heard Thalberg yesterday and I have to admire his masterful playing, but I was still cold about it, I don't find him as interesting as Liszt , but he is handsomer and looks so much like Baron Rosenkrans who came to the Student Association.

Unexpected Thalberg moment. I know descriptions about people's appearance are pretty common during this time but it feels like Andersen is just extra about it lol.

As far as I know, he didn’t really write about Liszt having a great face (just his overall effect). Who knows, maybe Thalberg is more his type 😌❓️
