The Optimistic Authour

people will really try to argue that love and death aren't fundamentally entangled as if they don't ring the same bells for weddings and funerals

NOT TO LIVEBLOG THIS EPISODE BUT AHHHHH

By the way, if any of you, like me, are nerds who love maps, I highly recommend checking out the Turgot map. I won't link it or tumblr will eat this post, but you can find it just by searching Wikipedia - it's an incredibly detailed 3D map of Paris made in the 1730s, and by "incredibly detailed," I mean

incredibly

incredibly

INCREDIBLY

DETAILED!

Look, there's Notre Dame! Individual trees! Individual lampposts! Individual boats!! (Some of them even have little people in lol, though clearly not to scale)

The full scan is over 35,000 pixels wide, guys! That's over 10 feet of map!! All drawn and engraved by hand! I'm freaking out a little! What an absolutely amazing piece of history & art!

if your personal least fave isn’t on here reblog and tell me what it is!! but also reblog anyways because it’s nice :]

glad to see such positive feedback about my incredible ability to compile the rankest shit you’ll ever see in your life

You know it’s a great puppet when you don’t even notice the two entire people under and behind its body moving its limbs until it’s halfway across the stage.

This is indistinguishable from magic to me

Viva la Vulva amulet: crowned, mounted on a horse, wielding a crossbow and a torch, in silver. Medieval European pilgrims wore these apotropaic medals to protect against plague, robbers, rapists, and other dangers. See comments for more.

because it's a möbius loop, it's just one line of stitches

we could be a family

this is absolutely bonkers

i think the game of thrones directors should kill themselves

this is why you need intimacy coordinator because this is insane. INSANE. she comes out of this with claustrophobia and a fear of bodies of water. still, she also talks of it like it was "chickening out" not to accept to be waterboarded for ten hours. she thinks that was for art. not to shit on GoT but this isn't art. anyway, i hope these directors do not get to make art until they've understood basic respect for their colleagues.

“did her own stunts” is a very different thing than “being waterboarded for realsies,” wikipedia
