The scary part of what’s happening in Mexico is that while looking for the bodies of the 43 missing students they have found out massive clandestine graveyards with a lot of bodies and they are like “well, these aren’t the missing students”. Then who are they?
why is every picture of simon & garfunkel on here captioned some shit like “i wish someone would fuck me the way they fuck each other” how am i supposed to reblog that
hey tag those songs you literally can’t listen to without feeling extreme intense emotions I’ll go first mine is be still by the fray, leave out all the rest by linkin park, and never grow up by taylor swift
i see so many posts like “i wish i could bring a plush with me in public!” and like the good news is that u can! 90% of people will never say anything and the other 10% will usually be like “oh cute!” i knew a girl in college who would bring multiple stuffed animals to class and set them on the desk and no one ever cared. like maybe you’ll get the occasional person to ask why, but just saying “why not” or “well look at the lil guy” is usually enough to make people not push it. other people have a whole lot of more important things on their mind than to bother someone over a stuffed animal.
1700's medical illustrators be like "hey boss can I put a rhinoceros behind this anotomically correct sketch of the human skeleton" and the boss be like "only for the books being published in these specific european countries" and then they high-five and go out for drinks
Medical illustrator:
France, Holland and Germany:
yoooo that’s Clara the rhinoceros - she was towed around Europe so much in the mid 18thc. as an exotic attraction that she became like a fad and all sorts of artists drew, painted, and sculpted her (and also randomly stuck her in the bkgds of anatomical drawings)
lol, for everyone asking about the ‘void face’ woman - she’s wearing a mask called a ‘vizard’ or ‘moretta’. they originally show up in late 16thc upper class European ladies fashion. They were worn while traveling to maintain a fashionably pale complexion, but they evolved over time to become a popular component of masquerades.
In Venice in particular, the style lingered and became popular to wear during Carnival, or as a way for upper class women to disguise their identity so they could engage in activities that might otherwise be considered improper (gambling, flirting, or just like... going about the city without a proper chaperone)
an interesting construction note - these masks weren’t tied on. They were made with a bead or button attached inside the mask which was held between the teeth. If a wearer wanted to speak, she would have to remove the mask.
This was a lot of history to absorb at 1:42 am
it’s interesting because the sexlessness in a franchise like lotr feels a lot different than the sexlessness in the mcu, the mcu feels sterile and weirdly plastic since everyone is hot but no one is actually attracted to each other, but lotr feels like … normal. There’s no sense something is missing.
is it because lotr still has tenderness as a form of prominent intimacy?? hmm

They're a flavour enhancer, like salt or soy sauce.

last year it was like "catradora is the best cartoon wlw representation ever, rupphire is now obsolete" and today it's all "lumity is the best cartoon wlw representation ever, catradora is now obsolete" like have you guys considered that representation doesn't work like this, at all
it's insane that this is even a common discussion point now, when back in 2014 the korra/asami handholding scene made the fandom go nuclear. and i have to keep reminding myself that 2014 was seven whole years ago (nearly a decade!)
idk maybe instead of treating gay representation like an arms race, consider being normal instead! love and light
