once again why did we let masquerade balls and handwritten letters and heart lockets and daggers strapped to thighs go out of fashion

the painting in the background is looking at them like “my word what a cool pair”

More specifically that is Carl Larsson with one of his 8 children.

He came from a extremely poor and abusive background but worked his way into fine society, where he fell in love with fellow artist Karin Bergöö, and his works shifted to painting his home life.

Painting titled "My Loved Ones"

[in reference to his career] "the most immediate and lasting part of my life's work. these pictures are of course a very genuine expression of my personality, of my deepest feelings, of all my limitless love for my wife and children."

Eudaemonia argus (Pink silk)

Native to Sub-Saharan Africa, Eudaemonia argus, sometimes called the pink silk moth, of the Saturniidae family is a large moth with elongated hindwing tails. Long tails such as these are thought to be a defense mechanism against predators, like bats. They deflect sonar away from their body and towards the tail ends. Moths can survive after losing these ends, though it has been observed that their flight speed can be affected.
