opia
n. the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable—their pupils glittering, bottomless and opaque—as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there’s someone standing there, but unable to tell if you’re looking in or looking out.

I like stories with magic powers in them. Either in kingdoms on Earth or on foreign planets. Usually I prefer a girl hero, but not always.

Women Self Defense in 1947
I’m not sure what’s the best part of this video: the fact that she’s in heels, the fact that she does the whole thing looking like she don’t give a fuck, that chick in the back just exercising and enjoying the show, or the fact that both men and women are observing this and the girls are laughing and the guys look concerned/pensive as fuck as they watch all their tactics get shut down like nothing is even happening.

The Hesitant Betrothed by Auguste Toulmouche (1866)
knockingghosts:
I have always adored this painting. Having the central female figure stare with awareness at her viewer is a very powerful move, and something not often given to women in paintings. It creates an engagement with the viewer, she sees you and she knows you are watching her. She is no longer an object in an image, she is a person.
You know she gon’ kill the man she has to marry
kakapokitty:
I like how everyone else is totally excited the women are congratulating her, the little girl is so into being a flower girl.
And she’s there in middle going “THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT.”
“the hesitant betrothed” there is NOTHING HESITANT about that expression
Whoa. This is really dramatic and unexpected :)

This is the ‘Isn’t It A Tragedy She Was Widowed So Young’ Betrothed, is what it is.

Egon Schiele

Painter Stef Driesen makes haunting images that fuse abstract, evocative shapes with brooding color. The paintings - both figurative and landscape - have a mysterious, erotically charged laziness that is reinforced by Driesen’s light application of paint. Whether painting the figure or the landscape, Driesen’s imagery is surreal and dreamlike; the organic forms seem to become bodies, landscapes and monuments, all at once.
