French b.1942-
would love to see more non-sexualized nudity like this in art. this, right here? this is every woman: just at home relaxing with her tits out. she doesn’t have her tits out to please anybody but herself–she’s lounging around, she’s hanging out with her cat, she has her tits out just because. that’s a whole mood. that’s relatable, realistic, and very human. and it’s so superior to the massive amount of art we have of women frolicking around with their backs arched to appeal to the male gaze. lady just doesn’t wanna wear a bra. just wants to lounge around with a book and a cat and her tits just hanging. respect
So I was trying to figure out what the artist was portraying here or what was going on and I couldn’t find a lot of info but I did find More
Naked ladies vibing with books and food seems to be her thing and I’m here for it.
This makes an incredible and resounding amount of sense

Top five bastards (or characters with bastard energy)
This is a beautiful question Amelia thank you for this quality content.
1. Edmund (King Lear) (if you follow me and didn’t guess that yet I’m clearly not doing a good enough job being insufferable about the Love Of My Life)
2. Philip the Bastard (King John)
3. Richard III (2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI, Richard III) (Not a bastard obviously but as @harry-leroy and i discussed a while back he has the same “everyone hates me because of how I was born so therefore fuck the entire world no one can stop me” vibe)
4. Don John (Much Ado About Nothing)
5. Aaron the Moor (Titus Andronicus) (Again, not a bastard, but also looked down on for things about his birth he can’t control (race), heaps of BDE, evil and loving it, seduces and sleeps with married woman)
Also bonus points to this guy Thersites from Troilus and Cressida, I haven’t read the play yet so I don’t know what I think of him but google he tells me he has the following quote:
“I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastardbegot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastardin valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear willnot bite another, and wherefore should one bastard?”
And frankly? Seems iconic.
A Cool Scansion Discovery
So yesterday I was talking with a friend about how much meter in poetry can reveal about meaning and how it should be spoken and so I decided to scan one of my favorite sonnets, Sonnet 57, and pay specific attention to the pronouns.
And y’all, I’m so glad I did. It proved my point so much better than I was expecting. Check this out: here’s a pretty basic scanning of the sonnet, only really diverting from the iambic pentameter where I felt it definitely had to:
Being your slave, what should I do but tend Upon the hours and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend, Nor services to do, till you require. Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, Nor think the bitterness of absence sour When you have bid your servant once adieu; Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought Save, where you are how happy you make those. So true a fool is love that in your will, Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.
Look at those pronoun placements. There are 12 instances of you/your in this poem, 8 of which are stressed and 4 of which are unstressed. And of those 4, 3 of them are actually part of phrases referring to the “I” figure – “your slave,” “your servant,” and of course “your will” with the obvious pun on Shakespeare’s name.
In contrast, there are 7 instances of I/my in the poem, only one of which lands on a stressed syllable.
And maybe I’m just a dumb Shakespeare nerd, but this impressed me so much. You could read none of the words of this poem besides the pronouns and still come away with a clear sense that the “you” figure is much more important and valued than the “I” figure. The idea of this poem is so baked into the heart of the language. I already knew scansion was cool, but this kind of blew my mind.
