self-indulgent art? all art should be as self-indulgent as you can make it. do it for yourself and those 3 followers and one bot offering to commission you who get it

you have no idea how much i love baby bird grian. is he always that sleepy

kind of! in this au grian can switch between two forms (well, a normal grian and a tiny bird). mostly, tinybirdification happens when he feels overwhelmed or tired, so, when he's a small bird he just want to hide somewhere safe and rest :)

he refuses to admit he can be tired so there are no spots for him in his big base so he need to impovise, for example that's why he has a nest on scar's hat...

so, back to your question... he is mostly sleepy when he's a tiny bird, but that's the whole point of being a tiny bird!

Your tiny Grian makes me feral he's so baby

thanks!! he's indeed baby bird sized. don't let it trick you, he's a menace

if you ever think that putting tags with compliments under people's art does nothing. i have some of kind tags screenshoted and saved on my phone and i sometimes look at them like its photos of my dead wife

hi guys! i'm currently working on a project on the ethics of taxidermy in modern museums for my uni, i need your help collecting some opinions :')

there are two main types of museum in which you can see taxidermied/preserved animals: science-oriented museums (e.g Boston's Museum of Science) and art exhibitions (e.g Damien Hirst's artwork 'Away from the Flock' displayed in Tate Britain)

taken that you don't know where the animal was sourced (and it shouldn't influence your vote), you feel like:

it is ethical only to

display taxidermied animals in science-oriented museums

display taxidermied animals in art exhibitions

display taxidermied animals in both types of museums

no matter the type, i feel like it is not ethical

Voting ended onMar 10

please use your gut feeling more than pure logic :) your opinion wouldn't be judged. also if you can share your personal experience regarding the topic (visiting such museums and how you felt; why did you make such choice) - please do!! that would be super useful

and also pleaseeeee rebloggggg so the post reaches more people
