Yes, I would smoke with the Rothkos at the Tate Modern, you wouldn't?

I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery

Sidenote why is there starting to be a weird trend online of saying that crimson Peak costumes are "not historically accurate, and proved that costumes don't have to be historically accurate to be good?"

Someone even compared them to the costumes from Bram Stoker's Dracula, which. That works in an artistic level, but definitely not on a historicity level

The costumes in Crimson Peak are what I like to call "historically plausible." Are they exact replicas of museum pieces? No, despite the fact that many of them draw elements from surviving garments and paintings and photographs. But would I be surprised to see them in collection storage at a museum? Absolutely not

Any of Edith's dresses could have existed around 1895 (yes, they are somewhat earlier than the date when the movie is set in 1901, but they're still all EXTREMELY rooted in the period they are from, so I can let it go). any of Lucille's dresses could have existed around 1879. They're not exactly typical, but they're definitely not unbelievable

And moreover, they follow the logistics of the period in a way that a lot of actually inaccurate movies don't. Hats are worn when they need to be worn. Hair is up when it needs to be up. Hell, even the way Edith uses her glasses is correct to that particular time. All of the outfits have the requisite parts, and no one acts like corsets are universal torture devices or like skirts are impossible to function in 

I don't know what people's definition of historically accurate is if this movie doesn't meet it – it definitely meets mine!

Mental reset night 🌙

I like to imagine that Victor Frankenstein and his Creature look absolutely nothing alike at the beginning of their narrative, but as the story progresses, they become more and more visually similar. As the blood pumps through the Creature's veins and his stiff muscles loosen up, he begins to look a little more.... alive, for want of a better word, than the twitching corpse Victor first saw him as. Secretly living with the De Laceys, he copies their facial expressions, practicing them again and again until they almost come naturally. Almost. He even has some of his creator's clothes. Meanwhile, as Victor's health deteriorates, his skin becomes sallow and transluscent, revealing the blood vessels underneath. His hair grows long and wild. His lips turn purplish black and shriveled with frostbite in the harsh Arctic. And maybe, in the dimness of Walton's cabin, when the candlelight hits them just right, Victor's dull, watery eyes appear almost yellow.

[snowpaw23]

Indeed, I've always envisioned such ends. I like to think Victor's hair grew out during his years of pursuit and anguish, unwilling to care for himself any longer, thinking himself undeserving of the decency to look or act like the refined man of convention he once was. His creature is obscenely alive, not caring for his own appearance as well; Not because he thinks he is undeserving, but because he has no reason to. He could wear the finest suit on the planet and tie his hair with the loveliest silk ribbon, but people, in his eyes, would only ever see a beast.

The both end up as pitiful, dirty, wretched things, sunken cheeks and sallow skin, long hair that's long been tangled by vicious, biting winds. Wrinkled flesh from prolonged dehydration, just enough ingested to stay alive, for the sole purpose of destroying the other. A life lived for the sake of another's end is not really any life at all.

The point of taking stats

with everything being what it's been this week i think it's important to state emphatically that my life is genuinely so much better for having trans people in it. my trans friends are some of the coolest kindest people around and I dread to think what kind of person I'd be without them. if you don't have any trans friends I hope you get the opportunity to make one or two or several and let them expand your world and I hope that you care for them in turn. I love you trans men I love you trans women I love you nonbinary friends you are all beautiful handsome radiant and cool

true 2000′s nonsense was finding an amv with a cool song and revisiting the amv for the song instead of actually looking it up

[yieldsfalsehoodwhenquined]

I'm itching to make another corset, so I start looking on etsy to find some nice patterns.

I almost bought one, but I start looking at the other patterns the seller offers and... wow... that looks kinda weird....

It's AI, it's all fucking AI. I almost bought that pattern.

So then I go down a rabbit hole and apparently the Etsy seller stole Aranea Black's patterns (that are free) and rebranded them with AI photos.
