Iconic historical stage designs for The Queen of the Night sequence from Mozart’s “Magic Flute” - the first image by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1815, the second by Simon Quaglio in 1818 (x)
I love how that first image looks so damn much like the a neutrino detector despite the huge gap in time and intention.
It's time for another

If you went by what you see on TV you’d think the nation was gripped in a collective outpouring of grief and.. it isn’t! No spontaneous flower tributes, no black armbands. People are just getting on with their lives. The only public displays are by brands and businesses.
Look at the number of flowers in town today under the queen statue. They’ve optimistically set the barriers far back anticipating thousands. There’s about 15. There was no one there paying their respects either. Literally no one. The biggest queue was at a burger van nearby.
No it is. Literally I was out in the centre of a major British city when she died with family and no one knew until 40 minutes later when my cousin checked her phone because we’d just been talking. Stuff keeps getting stopped, events cancelled because they think we care but the shops and events are no quieter. It’s all on billboards and sites but there’s not a single human being I’ve seen actually care. It is wild to see this state enforced mourning of “you should care, you have to care,” when no one actually is. It’s a trite comparison but the only thing I can think comparable to it would be if Big brother died in the world of 1984. It’s just screens everywhere insisting you have to have an emotional reaction but no humans actually having it. Non Brits please don’t think what you see online is a reflection of what it’s like here. All the mourning is happening online and non of it is happening in person. It’s basically an astroturfed funeral
I remember a post going around a good while ago from British posters thinking about how annoying it would be to have this forced on them, and I’m amused that they were actually UNDERestimating the lack of IRL British responses to her death.

Some time ago, I designed a dryad for every platycerium/staghorn fern species I have or have had (my grande died, but the rest lives). They are sorted here in the following order:
My collection has grown with two p. madagascariense and a p. mt. kitshakood since I made these, so I suppose I’ll do two more at some point. The line art, ink layers, my design thoughts and some plant talk is publicly posted on my Patreon.

btw, the realization that you can just not say shit about topics you’re not qualified to talk about is both very liberating and one I think alot of you need to make.
like fr, being online doesn’t mean you’re obligated to comment on every little thing, you can just shut the fuck up if you don’t know what you’re talking about
Try deleting a comment you’ve already started to type over something you question the value of investing yourself in TODAY, it’s a unique thrill.

Tumblr folk are so patient with each other. I don’t remember why I followed half of you people and every day I scroll past Discourse from someone who’s moved fandoms ranting about some show I’ve never heard of in incomprehensible shorthand like “WC/YT shippers from ZZNMHP just don’t understand why Jyrra of the North couldn’t retrieve the Aggro Crag from the MalignaSwamp” completely untagged and I’m just like
seeing older ladies in public with rly long grey hair... i wanna be u so bad...
Probably the best “Disco Elysium Out of Context” clip yet, in a very much “That’s it, that’s the entire game” way; not really, but can feel like it, in a fun way.

I think it's so adorable that early humans took wild gourds - a tiny fruit that hollows out as it dries, making it float - and decided to make something out of it
they thought the tiny fruit was so good that they bred it for thousands of years, making it larger to form into bowls and cups, and different shapes to become bottles and spoons
and musical instruments
And then, people took the hollow gourds they farmed, and they turned them into houses for birds. We adapted them into the perfect houses for birds, and now there are specific breeds of birdhouse gourd just for making into birdhouses
And humans dedicated gardening space and time and thousands of years of breeding to make the gourds so absolutely perfect for birds, that there is a species of bird that lives almost exclusively in them
Fun fact: this is currently thought to be one of the oldest plants used/bred by humans
