That Little Straw Boater Will Be The Death Of Me

dear tumblr, please stop trying to figure out which broadly popular thing to saturate my dash with. i am on this account for one thing and one thing only: fiending over big tragic eyed boys

...ok and big tragic eyed girls. two things

dancing with a woman whose name you've never known

Why I do not consider Iron Widow a "feminist" book and how there's a difference between female rage and feminism, which only kicks in throughout Heavenly Tyrant as Zetian gets educated and ties the gender struggle to the class struggle

Happy International Working Women's Day! Never forget its origins in the labor movement! There will never be true emancipation for women without emancipation of the working class.

Oh damn, I think your posts are why I started drawing Brad Dourif characters as religious art guys! By the time I got anywhere with it, I guess I forgot. Thanks for the inspiration 😘

Draw your babygirl like Satan, Lord of the Damned!

(tbh tho isn't Lucifer just, like, one of the original babygirls anyway??)

While fawning over BD’s supernaturally gorgeous eyes, I had to pick just a few gifs to illustrate That Thing where directors highlight him from an off-angle so they seem to glow internally. You know something's about to go down when they bust out this trick.

Problem: The X-Files alone is chock-full of this effect, and there are a gajillion more from other media. So: a dedicated post!

Starting with the ole one-eye highlight — they usually pick the right one, which is a little lifted and turned (I'm calling it his cat-eye):

Cue the lightning!!!

Sometimes it makes an iridescent crescent shape. I know it's meant to be scary, but he's such a terribly pretty boy:

Getting creative with some uplighting and a rare left eye (it's nice to see her getting some attention)...

...And some more extreme angles. How does this even work?!

It's just... captivating. I'm gonna go lie down now. (Think I actually stole all the gifs from @exdeputysonso this time. I'm basically a recycler for all their hard work and tbqh I'm fine with that)

Procrastination time!! Rat man doodle!!!!!

​I was not prepared for how WELL he wears that wig. Fuck

Happy MAYOADE 18/31 - Richard in Big Fat Quiz 2016
