Lament of Icarus

3 long months of toiling on and off on this Neoclassicist master study by the majestic Herbert James Draper. Have always wanted to make this tribute piece ever since Icarus was announced but was derailed by a roller coaster of life and emotions up until this year. Then, I visited Monet's exhibition and it reminded me why I love and found art fascinating in the first place. Still dk if it's worth the amount of time spent lmfao but I can say I'm very satisfied with how it turn out. Learnt a couple things from him heh.

Also before any jokers decide to come at me - yes he's pale in the game but logic says you don't stay pale going so close to the damn sun

the great divide is like what if you stayed and it haunted you and what if you left and it haunted you and what if you came back and it haunted you

i think there is a statue of grace. on the campus of the university where he got his phd. it's a big base, like the statue atop it is going to be a larger than life hero standing brave. but instead it is him, life size, sitting with his feet dangling off the edge and turned slightly to the side like he is in conversation.

there is room to sit next to him. students like to hop up and sit next to dr. grace to get advice, vent, just take a minute. he's a friend to all on campus

WEAK CHARACTER MOTIVATION RED FLAGS!!<3

man i totally forgot how weird people are about the “female orgasm.” like when I was younger i heard it talked about like an anomaly of science. and specifically people would ask shit like “what is the ‘evolutionary purpose’ of the ‘female orgasm’”. i dunno man its not hard to conclude that sex feeling awesome results in having more sex. but I guess that question seems more interesting if youre a fake intellectual and see men and women as different species and not made up of the same flesh and nerves. come on now.

also the female orgasm has a direct correlation to sperm movement through the vaginal canal due to the pulsing movement of the muscles there. women orgasming increases their chance of falling pregnant, thus increasing the chance of the species surviving.

"thought crimes aren't real, it's your actions that matter" and "your mindset informs how you treat others, so you should try not to have a shitty one" are another pair of things that are both true btw

gay men brought back 70s mustaches, lesbians brought back 80s mullets, and now straight dudes are just walking around with both thinking they stumbled onto this styling choice by accident. say the line meryl (cerulean sweater monologue but specifically about how gay culture creates taste)

-- The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions

[alethialia]

A friend mentioned how The Pitt S2 is showing us Robby's struggles from the outside, not the inside as in the past. In S1, we followed him into the bathroom and saw his hitching breaths, his attempts not to cry. We saw his literal flashbacks, heard the ringing in his ears. In S2, all of that is absent. We don't follow him in. We don't get private moments with him at all.

It occurred to me that that may be why audiences are being so very harsh on Robby this season. Last season, he got empathy. This season, he gets scorn. (If not worse.) The thing is, we all experience other people's mental health struggles from the outside. We don't see their internal struggles, just their external actions.

And if this is how folks react to other people's declining mental health? Well, that is grim, indeed.
