He was substitious, which put him in a minority among humans. He didn鈥檛 believe in the things everyone believed in but which nevertheless weren鈥檛 true. He believed instead in the things that were true in which no one else believed.
leverage is great because it makes real commentary on actual problems and the people behind the scenes do seem to genuinely care about those problems but also it's a show where they faked an alien abduction and one of the main characters sent another character plot-relevant petplay magazines. it's a show where one of the lines from the original finale still haunts me with how true it ultimately is--"justice or order. one day, you are going to have to make that choice"--and it's a show where there's an office parody episode that involves the same character who said that insisting in a straight-to-camera interview that he "loves foreplay." they solved the DB cooper case one time. it rules
i think its rlly funny when a vampire character is over 1000 years old but dresses like theyre from victorian england. like did they reach 800 and give up on updating their wardrobe or do they just think thats the sexiest era they've lived through? because i would accept either explaination but you had to admit both are kind of funny.
I will be honest guys, the Red portrait of king Charles is gorgeous asdfghjkl
it's a bad portrait. Like. Objectively. It does the opposite of what's intended. It looks like the painter is insulting him. If it was in a contemporary gallery with no context you would see it immediately as the ambivalent criticism of Charles's reign, how he fades into the overwhelming red background as a tiny little figure, small and insignificant, insufficient for the clothes he's wearing. It reminds my of Goya's portraits, how they were so 'realistic' that they ended up making these great figures look pathetic to the viewer. So these are our rulers?
the sheer novelty. the surprise and shock, the kinda cunt it's serving for no reason. I. I love it. It's an incredible portrait by Jonathan Yeo. By the sheer fact that Charles, the man, is impossible to portray as greater than man because he's just such a nothingburger of a dude. So a portrait made to make him look huge and interesting made him be swallowed in red brushstrokes. The butterfly, that reminded me immediately of " we will all laugh at guilded butterflies", draws more attention than him. It looks like an omen. It looks like a warning in all this red. Something is not right here.
