Centaur Watching Fish by Arnold Böcklin (1878).

I love love love Böcklin’s mythical pieces, they have this sense of realism, and often even sensitivity.

I thought I recognized the style so I looked it up and I’m so happy because this is the same artist who painted Centaur at the Village Blacksmith.

I love that this was a subject he apparently went to multiple times. Centaurs in perfectly mundane situations.

[a-book-of-creatures]

Don’t worry, he also painted them doing what they do best - beating the shit out of each other.

YESSS

My own favorite paintings of centaurs in mundane situations include "The Centaur Playing with Her Child" by Otto Soltau and "A Centaur Playing with His Son" by Otto Bache

i’m sorry i never shut up about romeo and juliet but can you imagine taking a play about very young teenagers embroiled in a culture of constant violence and instability and looking out at modern teenagers embroiled in a culture of constant violence and instability (particularly in the united states where everyone my age i know grew up terrified of school shootings) and going “hmm. the best way to teach this is about the follies of stupid young love” because that’s what the school system does. and to be clear i’m not blaming individual teachers i’m blaming the pervasive cultural idea of shakespeare’s works (and especially romeo and juliet) as mounted on an untouchable pedestal where they can’t be relatable or fluid but must be Teaching Something

[butchhamlet]

the other thing i can’t understand is how people look at romeo and juliet repeatedly threatening suicide and jump to “these teenagers are so histrionic and immature omg why would you kill yourself over your three-day-romance” and not “any kid this ready to die for whatever reason needs help the world is not giving them”

today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy

[uzmashroom]

Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? That’s fine. Cat too? Love cats.

My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.

I don’t think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.

[fujiwaradivebar]

And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it

But then when he sees her coming he gets all bashful and runs away 😭

the most underrated thing about the ghibli movies is how deeply they are love stories to working people, to the small folk, to moments of love and kindness. its not just about magic, many movies are about magic and fairytales. Its not only about the people in the stories, but about stories in the people. And they are just loveable.
