Disability will have you thinking shit like “I’m not even that disabled. I can manage as long as I limit myself to very specific careers, never go shopping for more than an hour or two at a time, keep my plans open so I can cancel and stay in if need be, and only go out a few nights per week at the most”
Making a shitty one-page RPG called Oh Shit It’s the Killer. The premise is simple: you’re a high schooler spending the weekend in the woods with your besties. The Killer is there also. He is trying to the Kill you
do you think if the second you woke up in a jigsaw trap u were like IM PREGNANT!!!!! he'd let you go due to his prolife philosophy. or do you think he'd devise a separate test for ur fetus
I want to kill people who say “the Mona Lisa is just a painting.”
I think what they MEAN is “the Mona Lisa is just a portrait.” Yes, it’s “small” (relatively), yes, seeing it in person is crowded but listen. there is a reason for the hype.
We’re so used to photo realism nowadays - why bother painting a reflection of reality when A. A lot of humanity has an escapist viewpoint at this point in time, and B. We have photos and AI and movies, who needs it? But. I love portraits. There’s something so unique and human about being able to capture an essence. Even when going for as life like as possible, art of this type reflects on only on the artists skills, but also how they see the world.
And god. This was a slice of someone’s life. This was an attempt from someone, who never could have imagined photography or AI, attempting to capture in perfect detail what they saw. This is was a person, sitting for hours on end and coming in at 6 am because that’s when the light was just right.
The Mona Lisa was painted from 1503-1519. Da Vinci died in 1519, which effectively finalized the painting, but even then, I doubt he ever declared it as TRUELY “finished.” Da Vinci carried this painting for years, trying to get it just right. This portrait is, if nothing else, a testament to man’s dedication to craft.
Yes, it’s a beautiful piece of art. Yes, you will see many beautiful pieces of art in the louvre. Some will be bigger, some you will like more, some will be more realistic or have a better design composition. But this painting lasts because you can see the love poured into every inch of it.
The way her skin glows, the flow of the clothe of her dress, the expression, the brush strokes, the colors in the background. It was poured over meticulously, in a way that Da Vinci is, in my opinion, notorious for.
This painting was loved in its life time. That is what makes it so persisting in ours. Not technique or how “good” you think it is. Someone loved this painting with their whole heart, so how can I not when I look at it!
saw new users saying they don't block bots bc "they inflate follower count 😌" and "what's the point" like who's gonna tell them (1) Noone cares about follower count and you can't even see it and (b) You have to bc they are using you to legitimize their dodgy links. They don't care about your aesthetic cat pics and lightning mcqueen fanfiction. They are using you.
