Museum Asks People To Recreate Paintings At Home, Gets 30 New Impressive Photos

It appears that boredom lies behind the most creative ideas. That's why quarantine has produced some of the most entertaining activities. One of them is the Getty Museum challenge, that so many of you have already seen in our previous article here.

Narcissus taking a selfie is the ACTUAL best.

These are REALLY cool

[notallfay]

These are art in themselves, in a some of them point out what lockdown was like for us, they’re expressed themselves in a really cool way. But I think these are going to be talked about in the future.

[macrolit]

How many of these have you read?

Even if there is a kind you’ve never tried, base your judgement on previous experience.

Even if you don’t eat meat rn, base your judgement on previous experience.

If you’ve straight-up never eaten any meat just keep scrolling you don’t need to know the results.

Please reblog. I would love if this spread, especially, to non-Americans.

A recent conversation in a discord group reminded me of something important. If you're on the younger side (under 25 or 30) and you haven't seen all the incredible, dark and disturbing fantasy films that came out in the 1980s and late 1970s, then I would strongly encourage you to do so. There was something so dark about that genre during that time that I absolutely adore and that isn't really around in modern films for children and young adults (once they learned that it traumatized a whole generation of us).

My faves in case you need any recommendations. (Some of these are really not appropriate for children, so keep that in mind lol).

The Dark Crystal - 1982 - the Skeksis will give you nightmares. I am honestly very proud of the remake for being just as disturbing if not more so than the original.

Watership Down - 1978- NOT FOR CHILDREN - Jesus Christ why did so many of our parents show us this film at a formative age? It's all about trauma and death and displacement and there's literal blood and murder. Not a G Rated Film. Still, it's very good. Loads better than that CGI remake from a decade ago.

The Secret Of NIMH - 1982 - Incredible movie. Minor disturbing elements. Probably my favorite on the list. It's just a great adventure story with real world issues (animal experimentation, mental health problems, disabilities) and there's even a lovely romance. Highly recommend.

Legend - 1985- This film is just straight up disturbing. Yes, there's a lot of beautiful shots of unicorns and sexy, 20-something year old (insane Scientology wack job) Tom Cruise and gorgeous Mia Sara, but there's also torture, madness and literally the Devil (Tim Curry is the entire reason you should watch this film)

Labyrinth - 1986 - I only really have two words. David. Bowie. My 10 year old self found out about a lot of burgeoning kinks while watching that man prance around in eyeliner and a codpiece. It's a wonderful adventure as well - if you ignore the blatant romantic and sexual tension between Bowie and an underage Jennifer Connelly (none of us could)

The NeverEnding Story - 1984 - Lots of disturbing imagery in this one! The Nothing was fucking terrifying, and the creatures in this world seemed uniformly creepy, but still incredibly well done. Love the adventure of it.

The Princess Bride - 1987 - Not technically a kids film maybe? Lots of adult themes and adult jokes, but safe for kids imo. I adored it and still do. Incredible performances by Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin. R.O.U.S, Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! (need I say more?)

The Last Unicorn - 1982 - A beautiful film with stunning representations of innocence, good and evil. Just gorgeous really. I should rewatch it as it's been 20 years or so.

______________

Adding a couple...

LadyHawk.

A romance / Action film about a knight and a maiden who are cursed. Her to transform into a hawk during the day & him into a wolf at night. Forever keeping them apart.

DragonSlayer

A coming of age tale about a wizard apprentice who must save a village from a dragon & the sacrifice lottery the village has established around it.

(Rare example of 1980s genderfuckery)

Willow

LOTR before we ever thought a LOTR film would ever be possible. You've probably seen this one, but just in case.

The Flight of Dragons

Transplanted into the body of a dragon a scientist must come to terms with magic, even while explaining it.

Krull

Classic adventure story severely undervalued in its time.

Some of the creepiest spider stop motion to ever exist.

[brightlotusmoon]

These are all on my favorite movies list. I find myself humming the Flight Of Dragons song randomly to this day.

[slow-burn-sally]

As an autistic child with ADHD and a burgeoning case of OCPD, I was deeply upset by many moments in many of these movies (particularly The Dark Crystal and The Never Ending Story, which are dark, so you have every right to feel grossed/creeped out by those muppets. They were hella extremely creepy.

[crow-rants]

As someone who's only watched a few of these, I don't think I'll ever be ready to watch Neverending Story again

Several Years Ago: Uncle's Friend (Paraphrased): "Yeah, your little cousin had a lesser childhood because her mother suffers from debilitating migraines? Good. No one did shit for me when I was a kid either-" Me, immediately: "Fuck you???" My mom, later, in the car: "Hey, I don't think that was a wholly necessary response..." Me, at random, still, to this day: ... Hey, what the fuck????

U will suggest something like stop relying on ai. Dont treat clothing as disposable. Stop buying things from Amazon. And your fellow landfillcore Americans will say: If I have to think about how my actions affect other people, I will die. Is that what you want? You want me to die?

[crow-rants]

Literally, I've become the "Don't talk about AI during dinner or she'll get upset oooooh" person for weekly family dinners. Like, yeah, sorry that I point out how terrible it is for the environment and y'all just don't give a shit lmao (FTR, it's not even like I say it angrily. I point it out, and they've taken it as I'm a fucking weirdo... like wth)

Me, watching a random video: Scrolls down to read comments Youtube: Hey, we suggest you watch "Return of Final Pam" that monster factory released three hours ag- Me: PARDON?????

out of curiosity, does everyone have a certain type of character they get attached to or are urs random

This sounds like a shitpost but people should be allowed to be horny. As in, sexuality is just part of life for most people and there’s no reason for consensual sexual behavior to be punished. A celebrity getting “caught” at a sex club shouldn’t be a scandal. No one should be fired for having a fetlife profile outside of work. Nudes getting leaked shouldn’t be career-ending. Denying and hiding (consensual) sexual interests doesn’t make anyone more professional, it just makes everyone more repressed. And sterilizing ourselves to be better work drones isn’t productive, it’s just creepy. I’d rather my surgeon get absolutely railed on camera and come to work in a good mood, frankly.

[joeyridersvoid]

the amount of ace, aroace, + sex-repulsed ppl leaving support on this post is rly heartwarming

[rimonoroni]

also this goes without saying but is also true of ppl who do sex work for used to do sex work. an accountant’s boss finding out that they used to do sex work shouldn’t be a career ender. a restaurant worker shouldn’t be fired bc they have an OnlyFans.

Other People: "I was born in the wrong time period (re: 2000s or 1980s)" Me: "That's ... okay, sure..." Also Me (a hypocrite), listening to a cottagecore playlist while knitting: "I was meant to live as a medieval spinster woman who waitresses a bar during the day and takes care of chickens and just knits until I die of old age at 32"

First meltdown where I've gone totally nonverbal to the point of having to use text-to-speech to talk with my mom on the way home.

Am I a real AuDHD now?
