We Sailed Away on a Winter's Day

Behold. My new favorite reaction image.

just got a notification from the 1600s

so was no one was gonna tell me that the painting saturn devouring his son was found painted directly onto the walls of the artist’s home after he died and that it may not even be depicting the greek legend, that’s just the most common interpretation??????

hello????

Not only was it painted on the wall of his house, it was painted on the wall of his dinning room.

Like imagine you go over to your boy's house for dinner and that's across from you while you eat. Like would you say something or just

This is the painting is question by Francisco Goya. Not only was this painting found, but a series of 13 other disturbing pieces of art called his “Black Paintings”. At this point in Goya’s life he had lost his hearing (well most of it) and had moved into a villa where he became a recluse. This was directly after the Napoleonic wars. These paintings were never meant to be found. They were never commissioned and he solely made these for himself.

This is where they think each of those paintings was placed in the house.

What in the goddamn...?

tumblr finding out about fucked up art history is so fun to watch

so i asked a friend what was up and she replied with this and i feel like i’m in an episode of the twilight zone

Echoing the “What?” and augmenting it with a spray of scone crumbs because -

Well, because of several reasons, not least of which is that little detail of having the funeral…

Later.

When our hamster died in Wisconsin in the bleak midwinter we kept him in the freezer, and then, in early spring, when the snow and ice melted enough that the creek was running, we gave him a Viking Funeral on a small burning boat.

"don't treat me like a child" also probably don't treat children like that

“don’t treat me like a

child” also probably don’t

treat children like that

Ahsoka's Fugitive arc is honestly one of the best story arcs they've ever done hands down, our girl is so strong

why do grooms get one boring black jacket and brides get the most jawdropping gowns ever like when i get married i want pearls and lace and a train is that too much to ask??

Hnn could you imagine.. a suit embroidered with baroque pearls… a LACE CAPE gently floating behind the groom… a fuckin sword..

oh my god…. your m i n d…. the wedding industry is quaking 

Meanwhile in Scotland…

YO, there are SO MANY great groom outfits around the world where he is dressed all in silk, lace, gold, pearls and glitter, with capes and scarves, hats and stitchery and I find it so sad that most of these countries switch over to “suit”. Like, look at these handsome boys!

Handsome men appreciation post 😍

i have a hot take about vine and tik tok if you allow me

vine’s entire concept was “show don’t tell” while tik tok’s entire concept is “tell don’t show”

might risk sounding like an Old Fart but i want to elaborate what i mean:

sometimes i will see Tiktoks that are just people talking to a camera about a thing that happened to them and then at the end… won’t even show the thing they’re talking about. they’re just talking to a camera. that or the few staged jokes take waaaaaay too much time to get to the punchline, and the punchline isn’t even funny (and the acting is bad)

meanwhile on vine, you only had 7 seconds, and in 7 seconds you could have anything happen, and a dude said “back at it at krispy kreme” and did backflips and kicked out a sign in his final flip and the video just cut with no explanation, and it was the greatest vine on earth
