watercolour on paper, 1854
Richard Dadd: art and madness
Just as the bones, flesh, intestines and blood vessels are enclosed in a skin that makes the sight of man endurable, so the agitations and passions of the soul are enveloped in vanity: it is the skin of the soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human, 82
how to be ur own muse⋆.ೃ࿔*:・⭐️
everyone has their own inner well of creativity and inspiration. being ur own source of motivation and inspiration takes others off of the pedestal and puts u on it instead…💬🎀
IDENTIFY UR PASSIONS ;
through identifying what things ur passionate about, ur tapping into what lights ur soul on fire. start passion projects. a passion project is exactly what it sounds like and its an amazing way to use ur own creativity and also serves as something to go back to when ur longing for that inspiration again.
"The old spells were the good spells. Some of the language is really quite beautiful. 'May Beelzebub's drool sear your eyelids shut.' They don't write them like that anymore." From Passions episode 219.

Here are all the vintage images I've so far encountered that, for one esoteric reason or other, are categorized as "occult."
,,The more the love for Christ increases, the more the passions weaken."
-Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokaliva
viltrumark being strangely enraptured by stuff like cartoons, comic books and video games because viltrumites dont have anything like that. if he has control of the television hes almost certainly using it to watch something animated(shiesty and prisoner watch them with him sometimes, theyll also defend his tv time rights if anyone else tries to badger him into watching something else)
he also reads through main marks comic book collection. main mark is not aware of this because viltrumark does this by sneaking into his room while hes out, reading them in his room, then placing them back so precisely main mark wont even notice his stuffs been touched(shiesty convinced him that doing that would be fine as long as main mark didnt notice) (debbie and oliver know though, oliver because he also went in marks room to read his comics while he was gone, and debbie because oliver ratted viltrumite out to her when he first found viltrumark doing that)
shiesty has personally bought viltrumark gaming consoles and games to get him to play certain multiplayer games with him because hes sick of carrying teams by himself(which does not go exactly to plan since viltrumark had never played a video game before, its fine though shiesty is helping him get better at them hes got faith in his alternate universe self) though prisoner and full mask have also gotten him into games like animal crossing(vilrtumite and prisoner have traded fruit in animal crossing, in a rare civil interaction between them)
This so adorable, anon. (>w<)
He's so precious!
You know, I was watching the Dandelion Lady on Youtube (the sweet woman who loves the Crayola dandelion that she has an entire wall dedicated to the color), and it got me thinking of Viltrumite Mark.
His closet resembles Ariel's grotto.
I feel like he cycles between hyperfixations too, but two obsessions remain constant: you and frogs. I associate him with frogs because he's the most alien out of all the Marks so Y/N wants to study him the most.
He has frog plushies, a frog alarm clock, a frog welcome mat, a frog pajama set, that tea set where the cups are tadpoles and the pot is the momma frog. You gave him that tea set so he considers it one of his sacred treasures. Only Shiesty (and you) have been served tea with those ceramics. Anyone who attempts to even touch the set gets a swift beating.
He has a... I don't wanna say altar, but let's face it, it's an altar of you where he has a tube of your blood, a portrait of you, pieces of cloth that Shiesty made him promise not to tell. Regular boyfriend stuff.
you know that feeling where you step back and have to reevaluate just how much you fucking love something. like damn, i already knew i loved this but im so aware of it now i don’t know how i’ve ever thought about anything else.
