Apparently the context is this horse has injured everyone who has tried to ride them

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

somebody please explain

Someone once told me itā€™s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

ā€¦I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) thatā€™s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think thatā€™s whatā€™s going on here.

In case anyoneā€™s curious, hereā€™s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:

It does have a 3D effect to it! Itā€™s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.

honestly, people just looking at the skull are missing the real deal here

You can read any implied text you see in this thing, even the book, thatā€™s how detailed it is. Look at the painting on those letters!

jesus christ youā€™re just showing off now, Hans!

HANS OH MY GOD

anyway, the skull apparently had some meaning about the transcendence of death, you can only see it clearly when you canā€™t see the world clearly and vice versa, but man, Iā€™m all about the detail in this guyā€™s shit

ok but roadrunners are so cool, I can seldom think of a bird more velociraptor-like

more people need to know theyā€™re real because look at this, this is some real walking with dinosaurs shit

they have powerful legs allowing them to run up to 20mph and leap to impressive heights with ease

they are extremely swift and fearless, quick enough to take down a sizable rattlesnake and other large prey animals like lizards and mice

they have several unique adaptations to thermoregulate, such as the dark patch of feathers on their back which acts as a solar panel to absorb heat, or its crest that either releases or absorbs heat by exposing its skin

they have these long, stiff tailfeathers that they use as a counterbalance when running, very reminiscent of the rod-like tail of a dromaeosaur

and they are capable of bursts of flight/gliding with incredibly beautiful plumage

Iā€™m genuinely shocked how many people think theyā€™re made up, they are real and they are AWESOME

I recall the time someone left the roadrunner enclosure open at the zoo. It was hours before anyone noticed. One if the birds was still in the enclosure, but the otherā€¦ *could* have been halfway to St. Louis.

But he wasnā€™t. That bird was 20 .eters away, taunting the bobcats.

when florence and the machine said "I find that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject" and when romeo x juliet said "a simple life with you would be paradise" and johnathan coulton said "it's okay, I like you in glasses" and everything everywhere all at once said "in another life I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"

How you doing friend

realizing more and more as I grow older that a mundane and imperfect life shared with the people I love is all I could ever really want or need and that I'm so thankful for the chance to experience it hbu
