Obsessed With This Art Style

how to use tumblr

i have had a fever for the past three days

ALL OF THIS AHUJAHSYCIT

i really love the fact that we don't know what species he is aside from being an orange mop because it makes his character even more intriguing. he could be over 1000 years old. he could know so much more than what he lets on. is he actually that gullible most of the time? when is he playing the part to secretly ruin the bad guy's plan? he's such a harmless sweetheart, but he's actually freaky. we literally know nothing about the guy. also the mime ghosts?? remember those???? what the hell was THAT??? WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TERRORIZE HIM WHAT IS THAT MAN'S STORY

ahem thanks for coming to my ted talk.

wander shenanigans and headcanons

first things first i like to think some of his fur? whiskers?? work kinda like a cat's: he can detect some movement that's happening close by

also

claws

he probably has retractable claws or he trims them almost every day so he isn't a menace to society (or to Sylvia's skin)

and the OCD thing

i might make a whole entire character analysis about it but for now just know his cuckoo behavior is exactly like me when im doing compulsions and i feel seen😩

and for the final one

shedding season.

final space

how do y'all think wander and major threat met?

"In bringing together Kurt Cobain's 'most poignant lyrics and journal fragments' to demonstrate the ways in which both writing and reading about melancholy can be life-affirming, Saint-Aubin has created a wonderful memorial not only to Cobain's troubled genius but especially to his profound humaneness."

Neil Nehring, author of Popular Music, Gender, and Postmodernism: Anger Is an Energy

The year 2019 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, an artist whose music, words, and images continue to move millions of fans worldwide. As the first academic study that provides a literary analysis of Cobain's creative writings, Arthur Flannigan Saint-Aubin's The Pleasures of Death: Kurt Cobain's Masochistic and Melancholic Persona approaches the journals and songs crafted by Nirvana's iconic front man from the perspective of cultural theory and psychoanalytic aesthetics.

Saint-Aubin discusses Cobain's writings independently of the artist's biography, positioning these texts within the tradition of postmodern representations of masculinity in twentieth-century American fiction, while also suggesting connections to European Romantic traditions from the nineteenth century that postulate a relation between melancholy (or depression) and creativity. In turn, through Saint-Aubin's elegant analysis, Cobain's creative writings illuminate contradictions and inconsistencies within psychoanalytic theory itself concerning the intersection of masculin-ity, masochism, melancholy, and the death drive.

By foregrounding Cobain's ability to challenge coextensive links between gender, sexuality, and race, The Pleasures of Death reveals how the cultural politics and aesthetics of this tragic icon's works align with feminist strategies, invite queer readings, and perform antiracist critiques of American culture.

Arthur Flannigan Saint-Aubin is professor of French at Occidental College, where he teaches courses in Francophone literatures and seminars on the theory and practice of translation. His books include The Memoirs of Toussaint and Isaac Louverture:

Representing the Black Masculine Subject in Narratives of Mourning and Loss.
