i enjoy video games because they let me live out my wildest fantasies, like being assigned a task and then completing that task
Okay but like am I losing my mind from constant exhaustion or do any of you guys also feel like Sam’s speech patters and just ways of talking are eerily similar to Martin’s??
an underrated detail in pride and prejudice is that elizabeth bennett was home alone on the day darcy proposed because she had a headache. can you imagine. this was in the pre-painkillers era. you're at home with a headache and then this asshole walks into the room and tells you he loves you and wants to marry you even though he hates your whole family and you're beneath him. imagine having to deal with that while also having a headache. she doesn't even have ibuprofen
W. Heath Robinson’s illustrations of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare (1914).
It’s so upsettingly telling of how far the misinformation about this lovely man has gone that none of these results are of his actual last piece.
For reference this is the actual last thing Louis Wain drew before he died:
This is your official psa that Louis Wain was a creative man who also happened to be neurodivergent and experimented with hundreds of styles and levels of abstraction throughout his life, and those stupid fucking images of a bunch of his art collected in an order that gets progressively more unconventional and are supposed to correlate with his worsening schizophrenia are deliberately misleading, inaccurate and ableist.
THIS IS NOT CHRONOLOGICAL. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH HE WAS JUST A CREATIVE GUY WITH A VARIED STYLE. STOP TREATING ART MADE BY NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE AS A FREAKSHOW EXHIBIT AND SPREADING MISINFORMATION ABOUT REAL DECEASED ARTISTS FOR THE SAKE OF HORROR AND SPECTACLE.
Sorry I applied a modern lens of analysis to your boyfriend. Yeah I've completely stripped him of historical and semantic context so that I could fit his story and tropes into my own moralistic view of the world. Yeah he's practically flavourless now. In fact this was the original boyfriend and you're a problematic historian for thinking otherwise.
repressed eroticism
or something. I was looking up paintings for something and there's a whole genre of art focusing on confessionals, and this one painting (that also inspired this illustration) (henri lehmann, le confessionnal) was giving off MAJOR pyramus and thisbe energy, to me, in the overall compositions (and intent) shared between them. so, again, my priest/knight agenda--
