“Tomorrow when the farm boys find this

freak of nature, they will wrap his body

in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive and in the north

field with his mother. It is a perfect

summer evening: the moon rising over

the orchard, the wind in the grass. And

as he stares into the sky, there are

twice as many stars as usual.”

- Laura Gilpin

just. like. the fact that the two headed calf poem is about the brevity of life and the cruelty of those who can't find beauty in the freakish and holding on to what moments and wonders you can, but at the same time.

at the same time you've got this little calf seeing twice as many stars in the sky and you've got people making art of him, over and over again, so much of it, so many mediums and styles from so many people who've probably never even met each other, so much of everything, from the passionate and the introspective to the scientific and the shitposty, all these people celebrating him and mourning him and preserving him, protecting him, replicating and resurrecting him however we can.

and you can take a little freak and wrap him in newspaper, but an idea, even one as small and strange as a two headed calf, is so much harder to kill. you can't stop the newspaper, but tonight stretches on, returned to over and over again with every picture, every bit of contemplation, every joke and meme, on and on and on and on.

twice upon twice upon twice upon twice as many stars in the sky. and we can see them all alongside him.

More TAMS fanart exploring some possible outfit/clothing/costume designs - just a little something quick and rough and not all that fancy

I may play around and whittle these down into something more concrete in the future

The Official Maggot Server Of Doom was having a discussion about how Deux Face was inspiring and how it was nice to have good news for once and I said what I think might have been the most powerful thing I’ve ever said and I feel like it needs to be shared

Just thought I'd say that as of yesterday Deux Face is still alive and well - she had an eye infection but nothing serious, very playful and happy. I think about her every day.
