LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

NO ONE IS ENOUGH

THE HEART OF MAN IS UNBEARABLE TO HOLD

media that is unapologetic about grief. that shows unresolved trauma as hollowing yet all consuming. that follows the pain all the way down. that you cannot uproot it without descending deep deep down into the seat of the earth

Obviously boycott Eurovision, but glad to read elsewhere it’s descended into chaos.

Netherlands suspended from rehearsals, organisers panicking, audience booing drowning out the singer from Israel, Italian singer apparently singing ‘imagine’ outside the venue in true cringe fashion.

When you realize you gave Boeing a "Get eleven assassinations, the twelfth is free!" punch card as a joke.

does anyone have that one painting with the ghosts standing in the water?

like theyre in the water and they’re staring off to the side and there’s something so very wrong about it and they’re bending over and trailing along like deer in the headlights but you can’t see what they’re staring at which might make it even scarier

like this

I FUCKING FOUND IT.

beach day beach day

by the way, the artist is olivia steen (website linked above) and apparently, her other works are just as breathtakingly eerie

look at this!!! it’s cool as hell!!

I thought the last one was very familiar to me and turns out it’s painted over a photo of john lennon !

and after looking at the first one again it is also, a beatle photo

Not going to lie the first picture like the ghost on the water It kinda is referenced on the one picture where the Beatles are in Miami for the Help! shooting I dont have the picture but it really looks like! Especially the bending ghost resembles Ringo and The other Picture where the ghost is sitting down I also remember so much remember that that picture is Brian Epstein sitting I also don’t have the picture cause I cant fine IT aaaaa HAHAH

Now THIS is some fucking forbidden fandom lore lmao

ETA THIS IS THE ONE!!!!
