Hi my name is Reginald "Bunny" Bunthorne and I have long fluffy black hair (that’s how I got my name) with white streaks and curly tips that reaches my neck and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like James McNeill Whistler (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Oscar Wilde but I wish I was because he’s utterly utter consumately aesthetic. I’m a British man but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a poet, and I live in a mouldy ruin of a building called Bunthorne Castle in England where I’m in the third year of my residence (I’m twenty-two). I’m a poet (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly dirty greens. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a dark purple velvet suit with gold buttons and a black cravat, white hose and black opera shoes. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and purple eye shadow. I was walking outside Bunthorne Castle. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was not very happy about. A lot of lovesick maidens stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

One Tumblr glitch I will forever fail to understand...

When you get a new "ghost" follower, that brings up your follower count by ONE but you cannot view their blog, then they unfollow, but it goes down TWO less followers, and combing through my followers I cannot find who "left" me....(speaking of my main blog but posting here so I don't lose any more people just because I posted something "negative")

The extraordinary Watts Cemetery Chapel. A late 19th century Arts & Crafts masterpiece, designed by Mary Watts. Inside, a jewellery box of Pre-Raphaelite style angels, twines of art nouveau trees, wild flowers, complex dualities in images and symbols. A drowning in gold and colour.

🏰 This bay window is located in the King’s bedchamber at Schloss Neuschwanstein. On the stained glass windows you can see the heraldry of Wittelbach, Bavaria and Schwangau. One can easily imagine King Ludwig II sitting here, reading a book or contemplating the Bavarian alps. ⛰️ - To know more about the Bavarian palace be sure to follow @schloesserverwaltung.bayern - #germany #bavaria #neuschwanstein #art #architecture #castle #palace #royal #luxury #travel #discover https://ift.tt/300oXhM

The opening of Japan to trade in the 1860s led to a craze for Japanese-inspired art, fashion, and architecture across the West, a style known as Anglo-Japanese, or Japonisme. The motif can also be seen in musical works such as Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado and Puccini’s Madame Butterfly.
