A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.

simply cannot ever resist what i call the little mermaid or the tin man or the pinnochio plot, the one about a character who is either inhuman or human but outside in some way, constantly searching for whatever it is that they consider to be the quintessential proof of humanity, preoccupied by it so deeply that they fail to realize the proof is in the act and fact of the search itself

A nonhuman character in heavy makeup: *is very long*

Me: is that you, Doug

The credits: Freaky Creature played by Doug Jones

Me: YEAHHHH

[agir1ukn0w]

A nonhuman character in heavy makeup: *does that elegant hand movement that Doug always seems to do*

Me: DOUG!!!

How dare anyone over look:

DOUG WAS MAC TONIGHT??

Y’all also need to know that Doug Jones was in Smash Mouth’s music video for “All Star” as Pencil Head:

@cellarspider It’s your Blorbo from apparently everything?

[cellarspider]

Indeed, he is in an unexpectedly large amount of everything! You never know where he’ll turn up, being spindly and mesmerizing.

[regretnothingdearest]

He was also the ice cream man in Legion!

[dovewithscales]

Especially if it’s a Del Toro movie. He was also the fish man in The Shape of Water, and the faun in Pan’s Labyrinth.

[rainwasheseverythingaway]

He is also on tumblr

Absolutely crazy to me that the pro AI people nearly always think creative stuff is a chore that a machine needs to do instead of something that is actually fun.

the way ivan aivazovsky looks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.

[soracities]

love is surrounding yourself with people who see you this clearly

[ataehone]

Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:

It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.

He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.

He is obviously my most favorite painter ever.

“Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more,”

Initially I didn’t realise this referred to the size of the paintings and briefly thought Ivan Aivazovsky was “as tall as a person or more” and imagined a freakishly tall Slavic artist lovingly painting the enchanting play of light and colour on the sea

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

Looking back on 2020, I think it's hilarious that Wellerman of all shanties is the one that blew up online. It's not a song about life on the high seas or adventuring

It's the "Where the fuck is my delivery" song

I am once again reminding people that it wasn't unusual to have this sort of politics on the radio in the 2010s. It's not ahead of its time, your culture just got fascist since then.

I do not "render." I do not "shade." I do not "paint," I do not "detail" and i do not draw "Backgrounds." I draw BLAND CHARACTERS standing in WHITE VOIDS And if it doesn't look good i GIVE UP.

if you don't know how to end a written work you should be able to just let the words fade out like an 80s song and not resolve anything for the reader

[teaboot]

The last 5 pages should just be in progressively lighter text until it’s no longer legible at all
