Reading this article expecting the National Gallery to engage with the politics of Constable - which are explicitly about his Tory, silver-spoon hatred of the protesting migrant farm laborers who built the (Constable family-owned) land he would later paint into archaic, idealized, English™️ sublimes - and instead found this quote:
On a guided tour around the area, a National Trust spokesman provides further insights. “Look how Constable shortened the roof of Willy Lott’s house a little to fit it into the painting— otherwise it's fairly similar. The bread oven, which was on the right-hand side, has now gone. But there is an Elder tree there, which if you come in early June is in flower and it looks just like it does in the painting, which is fantastic.”
Crucially much activity goes on behind the scenes to keep Constable’s scenes recognisable. “We have something called the view management plan… we go back and compare his paintings with maps and different views to actually try and get a realistic understanding of what the landscape might have looked like, and actually best manage the landscape in that way.”
With this almost hilariously on the nose photo of them pointing to the painting to demonstrate how they're literally shaping the land to Constable's will all these years later.

too many of you are treating this + the various discussions of real sexual assault/abuse in the notes as fun drama or using this post as a vehicle to spread misinformation so im turning reblogs off until you can behave

A 2024 version of House MD would have to feature Wilson marvelling at House who has just had an epiphany and solved another impossible case, and Thirteen looking at Wilson and saying “You want to fuck that old man so bad it makes you look stupid.”

Came across this incredible twitter exchange inspired by the comment that The Menu resembles “Succession meets Saw” and I needed to draw it.
Logan’s loyalty tests seriously go too far.

Assignment: sluttiest phantoms and explain why 😊
In no particular order:
Hugh Panaro - The man is feral and so pelvis-forward. His permanent smirk only adds to it.
Franc D’Ambrosio - The way he moves, look at that man. See also his PONR for the noises he makes.
Greg Mills - He is so soft in real life, but gosh, he is slutty on stage. We don’t call him Greg Finger Lickin’ Mills for nothing.
Ben Crawford - I’m just going to put this fantastic video by @opera-ghost here as my explanation.
Jeremy Stolle - That man PROWLS when he moves.
Adam Robert Lewis - I’ve never even seen video of him, but his VOICE. That tells me all I need to know.
Howard McGillin - Look at all that leg, come on now
