I asked if this was an art installation and a Danish person said "no this is quite a serious impedance"

jessica really said “god forbid women do anything” and doomed an entire people to war by installing her twink son as a false prophet by stealing her cult’s 10,000 year old breeding program propaganda

I would be so good at being catholic if only it weren't for the fact that I do not believe any of the tenets of catholicism or follow any of its practices or have any desire to do either of those things. however, I am quite into reliquaries as an art form.

[annabelle--cane]

I'm also full of guilt but tbh I think my own home grown guilt complex is far superior to whatever catholicism has going on, I'm sure I could syncretize them but it would honestly be a downgrade

I see cool medieval art about saints' transformative experiences of repentance and salvation and it's illustrated as this exquisite excruciating ecstasy, and I'm like "wow what a potent portrayal of how it can feel to experience forgiveness when you don't feel like you're worthy of it, I wonder what this saint is atoning for?" and then I go to the hagiography and it says "st eisaberta took a vow of silence for ten years and subsisted off a single basil leaf a day to repent for her great sins of arguing with her parents as a teen and having sex once." and I'm like "okay well that's stupid."

FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

Oh! Just like the Victorians did to the Gothic, where actual Gothic cathedrals which had been built to be bright and full of light were portrayed as dark and gloomy places, because that's what happens after a cathedral is filled with candles for several hundred years.
