abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao
I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.
Favourite historical drama trope is when there's some random kid involved in the proceedings and they ask them their name and it's someone who grows up to be really famous, but it has no bearing on the plot. Like, "What's your name, boy?" "Nicolo Machiavelli" *chef's kiss*
Spicy take but I honestly do not see Jane Austen novels as wish fulfillment in any way. I see them as social commentaries that show a fucked up system where the heroines manage to learn enough about themselves, their partners, and their societies (and the heroes likewise) to get the best possible outcome given their hugely specific circumstances.
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
