I am 0% surprised but so deeply furious at every single person who got on the stage at the Oscars for Emilia Perez

You're telling me you won for that piece of shit and couldn't even give the most perfunctory "hey, trans people are under attack" nod in your speech? Fucking cowards. Absolute slugs.

an artwork held in inks and pale blues and beiges with popping reds depicts a mercenary, now adoptive father to a rambunctious Tiefling girl. He's dressed in armor while she wears a thick tunic with a fur collar and fur-lined bootsies. She's warming her hands at a fire she just set, face full of mischievous joy as she retells her latest tales of heroics, speaking of bloody battles with ginormous beasts in strangely gorey detail -- all the work of a 11 year old, of course. While her father, used to her delusions of grandeur starts nodding off, simply making smalls "Aha"s and "Mhm"s while her far too loud voice carries across the snow

The best part of being in love is the way your speech will devolve into nonsense sounds, but you'll still understand each other perfectly

An illustration, all in a nighttime periwinkle, of Ellen from Robert Egger’s Nosferatu. She stands in the middle of the image in 3/4 view, her head facing straight towards us. Her eyes are wide as bright red/pink blood pours from them. She wears her wedding gown and holds a bouquet of lilacs. Behind her, flowing curtains blow about as the looming shadow of Count Orlock stands in profile.

“Shall you be the one with me, ever eternally?” 🌹✨ #art #illustration #Nosferatu
