generational difference between people who learnt the word kin on tiktok and think it is a fun way of saying u identify somewhat with a character VS people who learnt the word kin on tumblr where people would threaten each other about kin lists because they genuinely believed they were a manifested reincarnation of karkat homestuck
genuinely people would have tiered lists of kins, from it’s okay to follow me if you kin this, to never interact w me if any of your mutuals are kin w this because this is literally me
people were kinblocking like it was the beaches of fucking normandy
genuinely obsessed with the grimace milkshake meme I hope it’s got the McDonald’s marketing team locked in a board room biting their nails desperately trying to figure out if this is positive press or not
…Hot take, but we need to start hiring fursuit makers of this caliber to do practical creature effects for indie fantasy/sci-fi movies, because clearly these people seem like the goddamn future of practical effects….
…And yes, before anyone brings it up, I am aware the all-fursuited fantasy movie Bitter Lake exists, but we need more stuff like that IMO.
gender liberation literally has to include cis people im so fucking serious. we’re never going to be able to get rid of the chains utterly and for good if we don’t unshackle absolutely fucking everybody
also just to be clear what I am actually expressing with any grandiose posts like this is just that we have to get rid of gender as a legal status. however I love drama so I gotta word this stuff like im wearing a cape
we need to destigmatize dropping out of college I am so serious. like dude if u realize that is Bad For You then you can just Leave. I am so fucking serious. just stop. there are other options and you don’t need to force yourself through shit you can’t do and go into debt. i promise you can just Not.
once again thinking about this guy at the pigeon museum who was giving a little presentation about pigeon mating habits or something, and takes one look at me and my partner and immediately goes “oh and pigeons can be GAY, too!!!”
where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop
THANK YOU
somebody please explain
Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.
…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle
There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.
In case anyone’s curious, here’s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:
It does have a 3D effect to it! It’s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.
honestly, people just looking at the skull are missing the real deal here
You can read any implied text you see in this thing, even the book, that’s how detailed it is. Look at the painting on those letters!
jesus christ you’re just showing off now, Hans!
HANS OH MY GOD
anyway, the skull apparently had some meaning about the transcendence of death, you can only see it clearly when you can’t see the world clearly and vice versa, but man, I’m all about the detail in this guy’s shit
No, I think you’re missing the real deal here
as an art historian, i think this is the best post on tumblr
