The Peter Principle: the scientific reason everything is a bit s**t from Adam Westbrook on Vimeo.
We live in times of seemingly unending progress - and yet somehow things still always go wrong: trains are late, broadband speeds suck and the promotion always goes to the wrong person. Well, it turns out there's an explanation for all this - and progress itself is the problem. Meet The Peter Principle.

26 for the OC ask pls! and since i cannot read and won't let that stop me, i'm going to request 26 for any of your OCs that you'd like to ramble about! (and as a book snob, 23 if you feel like it dhfgjs!)
i also cannot read and won't stop you 🙈 there are three artists and two writers in the canfield family, so i think they're the perfect choice for these questions. (this is my excuse to temporarily bring colette back from the dead.)

26. what is your oc’s favorite art movement?
maddison prefers the neo-impressionism movement, and her favorite artist is paul signac! she likes the vibrant colors and the use of reds and oranges and pinks.
colette was very into pre-raphaelite art. she's john william waterhouse's biggest fan. her favorites are the lady of shalott and the lady of shalott looking at lancelot.
matteo leans into suprematism. if he hadn't gone into art, he probably would've studied architectural design, and i think that's evident in the importance of feeling in geometry.
23. which oc dog ears pages? which oc thinks that’s an ABOMINATION?
paula dog-ears the heck out of everything she reads (and writes!). to her, the reading experience is just as much of a story as the story within the pages. what better way to tell the story than marking of the book?
cedric thinks it's an abomination. in his defense, he works in publishing, so the physical book itself is the "art" he spends the most time on. color-coded book tabs and sticky notes for him, thank you very much.

Okay it doesn’t look like I did much, but y’all don’t even wanna know how bad their side profiles were *vomits a little*
Jordon - his nose was. so bad; reshaped face shape and lips, new browbone, new facemask, new eyes, new hair, moved everything up
Matteo - already fixed him once before yikes; ohhh boy his nose, new brow bone, fixed his lips, smaller eyes, new eyebrows, new hair, shifted his jaw forward, also wrinkles cuz he’s getting older

yearbook challenge by @bauhauzzz 🎓
just a challenge to brush off the dust of that old yearbook and show the world how your oc or ocs looked when they were teenagers! were they edgy? were they more on the nerdy side? you can share as many pics as you’d like but please if you do join I’d love to see your entries, so tag your posts using the tag #yearbookchallenge and have fun!

oooooooh boy did these guys need help
Yes, this is the third time I’ve redone Paula. No, I’m still not satisfied. If you have any suggestions on how to fix her, please lmk. I’m begging you. *throws Malcolm Landgraab in the trash*
Ariel (the second one) definitely turned out the best + you can kinda see Colette’s face in her
Matteo (third) was anatomically challenged + his skin tone was driving me crazy
Ruben (fourth) mostly had a weirdly shaped chin
Also, if you need a reminder (or you’ve never seen) OG Paula, I’ve included the monstrosity under the cut. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya~
This is from the first reconstruction:
