As a clown I refuse to do sexy stuff in my real actual clown outfit because that is for the kids but I have a separate clown outfit for sexy stuff.

From ‘’Christ on the Cross with Mary and St John’’, a c.1443-1445 altarpiece by Rogier van der Weyden, a Northern Renaissance painter, born in the Tournaisis part of Belgium, originally named Rogier de la Pasture, (c. 1399/1400 —1464), a detail from the painting now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”

my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”

Geometric Greek pots made by children, done in the Geometric style imitating their mothers’ fine votive pottery. I don’t know about you, but my parents still have my elementary school pinch pots on the mantle that look a lot like this!
