I will be honest guys, the Red portrait of king Charles is gorgeous asdfghjkl
it's a bad portrait. Like. Objectively. It does the opposite of what's intended. It looks like the painter is insulting him. If it was in a contemporary gallery with no context you would see it immediately as the ambivalent criticism of Charles's reign, how he fades into the overwhelming red background as a tiny little figure, small and insignificant, insufficient for the clothes he's wearing. It reminds my of Goya's portraits, how they were so 'realistic' that they ended up making these great figures look pathetic to the viewer. So these are our rulers?
the sheer novelty. the surprise and shock, the kinda cunt it's serving for no reason. I. I love it. It's an incredible portrait by Jonathan Yeo. By the sheer fact that Charles, the man, is impossible to portray as greater than man because he's just such a nothingburger of a dude. So a portrait made to make him look huge and interesting made him be swallowed in red brushstrokes. The butterfly, that reminded me immediately of " we will all laugh at guilded butterflies", draws more attention than him. It looks like an omen. It looks like a warning in all this red. Something is not right here.
This is the best royal portrait ever 10/10
Life is difficult, isn’t it, Charlie Brown? Yes, it is. But I’ve developed a new philosophy. I only dread one day at a time.

richard: francis is so intruiging. he looks like a mysterious prince, look at the way he eats his cherries. he’s a walking miracle.
richard: everything henry does needs to be worshipped. he’s an actual god. the physical manifestation of a celestial being. a deity not of this earth.
richard: i could watch charles all day. my favorite thing about camilla is how boyish she looks, and how much she looks like her brother. he’s the most fascinating person alive. I could literally stare at him 24/7.
richard: I, a heterosexual,

I know the media in this country is all propaganda
because the NY Times got caught red handed making up stories about hamas killing babies, and raping women
...stories that were shared around the world and used to legitimize and justify the genocide of Palestine...
and no other mainstream news agencies bothered to report what is possibly the biggest media scandal of the century.
It literally proves Israel's narrative is a lie.
But we don't have real news.
We drown in propaganda instead.
