everyone say thank you to joseph gordon levitt and tom hardy for imbuing their characters in inception with so much chemistry that it gave the impression of a tangled history of failed romance and repressed love and the desire to reignite the flame between them. and they did it for literally no reason. in 2010

I was looking for references and stumbled across a series of paintings from 1930s by Soviet painter Alexander Samokhvalov called "The young women of metro construction"

can we please please please learn to differentiate between things that are good but devalued because of their association with women (caring for children, being compassionate), things that are neutral but seen negatively because of their association with women (the colour pink, having long hair), and things that are bad but associated with women because of misogyny (being materialistic, being stupid) because otherwise we’re gonna keep getting takes like “being gender nonconforming is anti feminist” and “not studying for your classes is feminist”

Ooh since requests are open may I please request an Elwing or an Indis? I love your art so much btw!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day :D

I’m a buff!Indis truther. To me “golden-haired and tall, and in all ways unlike Míriel” means she was eight-foot and built like a linebacker. She is where Galadriel gets it from.

back when I made my masked ainur post for Tolkien Fashion Week, I was also playing around with some gandalf designs. I couldn’t settle on one I liked so I dropped them … but in retrospect, I think I like both haha

though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!

thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!
