Evermore-Fashion: English Mythology
Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur, the legendary ruler of Britain in English mythology. She was a beautiful and noble queen, but her life took a tragic turn when she fell in love with Lancelot, one of Arthur's bravest and most loyal knights. Guinevere was also the daughter of King Leodegrance of Scotland. Arthur admired the king's lovely daughter and married her in spite of a warning from his adviser Merlin that Guinevere would be unfaithful to him. As a wedding gift, Leodegrance gave Arthur a round table that would play a central role in his court. After the marriage, Guinevere became acquainted with Lancelot, who performed various deeds to honour and rescue her. At first, Arthur took no notice of the growing attachment between the queen and Lancelot. Later, however, the king accused his wife of being unfaithful, and had to Lancelot. Several violent fights between the two followed, with groups of knights joining in on each side. Eventually, Guinevere returned to Arthur.

wow that's a nice inflexible honour code you've got there. i can't wait to see it broken under immense pressure, and you along with it.
"The problem with oaths of the format death before dishonor, is that given enough time and abrasion, they distill the world into two types of people: the dead and the forsworn."

Evermore-Fashion: Women of Marvel
Ororo Munroe is a powerful mutant with weather-manipulating abilities, also known as the infamous and influential hero Storm. She is also the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. After becoming an orphan Ororo became a sneak-thief on the streets of Cairo under the tutelage of Achmed El Gibár, who provided her a home. As a teenager, she felt the urge to travel to the south, arriving at the Serengeti plains. Venerated by the locals as a goddess, Ororo used her abilities to ease the droughts in the arid desert. Eventually she was approached by Professor Xavier to join his X-Men, a mutant group aimed at implementing peace between humans and mutants.

best thing about uncle iroh is that if you pay attention he is actually just as much of an idiot as zuko but has just mastered the art of coming across as a wise old man. the even better thing is that zuko is the only one on the planet who somewhat realizes this and no one would ever believe him because he's zuko
like uncle iroh 100% does dumb shit on purpose sometimes to get people to underestimate him and keep zuko from capturing the avatar, but other times he just, and i cannot emphasize this enough, does impulsive dumb shit for no reason other than the fact that terminal stupid presumably runs in the royal family's blood
uncle: "you never think things through, prince zuko!"
also uncle:
- once got captured by the earth kingdom army buck ass naked bc he really wanted to go to a hot spring in enemy territory
- betrayed zhao at the Northern Water Tribe with no escape plan and then spent 3 weeks starving on a boat
- immediately went to a spa resort upon publicly committing treason
- ate a poisonous plant and, in the spirit of Two Fish Hook Sokka, was going to solve the problem by eating another potentially poisonous plant
- decided the safest place in the world they could go was the city he once FAMOUSLY laid siege to for 600 days
- instead of lying low or giving a modicum of a shit about people recognizing him, overachieved himself into becoming one of the most well-known restaurant owners in said city
- in fact overachieved so hard that he got an invite to meet the earth king (whose city he, again, once FAMOUSLY LAID SIEGE TO) which he fucking? accepted????
#no wonder zuko was constantly frothing at the mouth! he's the only one who knows the truth!#god just imagine the number of times people have seen zuko yelling at iroh#and assumed zuko was just being mean#when zuko was actually yelling at his uncle for wasting all their money bartering with pirates AGAIN#everyone assumes iroh is babysitting zuko but really they're pingponging responsibility back and forth#and zuko at least has the excuse of being 16#anyway I love Uncle Hypocrite so much; funniest motherfucker on the planet (via OP)

Whenever I see an Ivan Aivazovski painting the sea monster in me goes absolutely feral
I see this and I've never wanted to sink a ship so much in my life I'm biting through wood as we speak
God if I saw this in person I'd straight up start slithering. Start writhing
The way he just *clenches fist* makes water light up from the inside. Ugh, I once zoned out in front of one of his larger paintings in a gallery and came to, like, twenty minutes later, smelling saltwater and tasting driftwood.
This is his largest painting ever. It is 2,8×4,2 meters large. That is about 9'3"×14'1". It took him ten days to paint. This is a guy who painted normal-sized paintings in an hour, two, tops, according to contemporaries.
He was utterly unique.

Sorry if you're already over 50, I ran out of room (you're welcome to leave your thoughts in the tags or replies!)
If you're younger than 10, get the fuck off Tumblr. People are saying swears on here!
i've reached the point of therapy where i need to be appreciated for making myself eat and have to mummify my thumbs every night to heal up from shredding the skin on them during the day
