but if you actually think about it, Will was fucking insane in season 3b, like yes I know we know but no you don't get it, he was losing it, my man took one look at that ocean and decided "that's it, today's the day, farewell" like. do you understand how over the goddamn edge he was? he was holding up so well in front of everyone else with his cunty little self but my man was DONE and DONE. do you have any idea of the implications of this on those three years they were apart? the level of depression he experienced? bbg was borderline psychotic by the end of it

since there's an impressionist royal portrait in the zeitgeist right now, do you wanna hear about one of my fav norwegian oil painters........ his name is håkon gullvåg and he's painted portraits of the norwegian king and queen and they look like this
which were pretty controversial at the time (the year 2000), but i was too baby to know anything about it!
(the headline says "UNDIGNIFIED!")
i first heard of him when he was on the news for a completely different controversy around the years 2008/2009 - his exhibition titled 'the holy land'/'terra sancta' which was a series of paintings he had painted in a wild unstoppable rage over the injustices he had seen palestinians suffer. at one of the exhibitions in syra, two of the paintings got removed by the french embassy, and i think never returned to him? i'm finding it surprisingly difficult to hunt down the story without knowing exactly what to look for, but i did dig up this article. i was still a young teen at the time so i didn't know much about the context, but in recent times i've been thinking about these paintings a lot. i'll add the Controversial Paintings under the cut:
