I Am Asking You To Endure It.

Such a clever disguise for this burrowing owl.

a list of “ship tropes” that aren’t really tropes yet per se, but I need them to be

Kind, gentle man+ eldritch monster/horrifying werewolf/scaly abomination/hairy Creature wife

Mad scientist+mad scientist in a different branch of science

Regular scientist+actual wizard

Human+ alien and/or robot who is discovering what Emotions are

Lithe, androgynous elf guy+ bearded, hunky dwarf girl

Succubus/incubus and angel, except all the Love and Affection stuff is new to the succubus/incubus and they are adgftbnjgfsfvhjj inside

big, hairy werewolf jock girl+ regular boy who is soft and cute

big, hairy werewolf jock girl+ edgy, chiseled-jaw werewolf guy who kisses her hand and lays his head in her lap

realistic “Alpha male and female” werewolves who just are super affectionate with each other and have a really big, boisterous family

two heavily autistic-coded dragons with completely different hoards which regularly bring one another gifts to go in their hoard

mild-mannered, introverted naturalist+ Bigfoot

Kiss of Judas. Napoleon Abueva, 1955. Filipino.

This one lives in my head rent-free. This is such an accurate simplification of literally, so many of these Kiss of Judas paintings. It made me laugh in shock the first time I saw it. Abueva, you are so right.

almost started crying at work the other day because we were hooking motors up to a truss and i overheard one of my coworkers telling the story of the trojan war to his friend and i was so tired and my feet were so sore beneath me i started to imagine i was a sailor on a merchant vessel centuries ago overhearing that very conversation and i thought about how some stories are so human they outlast all of us and i almost couldn't stand it

for my fellow southern/midwestern USAmericans: ain't it

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

Henry Ossawa Tanner's depiction of the Annunciation will always be my absolute favourite but I really do think there is something so ethereal and endearing about his study before the official artwork was completed.

The way Mary sits with almost no visible features but you can still tell that her hands are clasped in prayer- the angel Gabriel manifesting as a single stroke of light as the paint and room seems to contort around him. Easily one of the all timers.

Note to vacationing non-Americans: while it’s true that America doesn’t always have the best food culture, the food in our restaurants is really not representative of what most of us eat at home.  The portions at Cheesecake Factory or IHOP are meant to be indulgent, not just “what Americans are used to.”

If you eat at a regular American household, during a regular meal where they’re not going out of their way to impress guests, you probably will not be served twelve pounds of chocolate-covered cream cheese.  Please bear this in mind before writing yet another “omg I can’t believe American food” post.
