#every time I see this picture I am briefly overwhelmed#this piece of art outlived its context and milieu#but. but. in reality there is no such thing#because art is made anew with every glance. it comes to life. awakens laughing#and time compresses. softens. the past is not so much a mystery if we remember we weren’t the first to dance.#this is what art is for#this is what it can do#it doesn’t only speak to us of our own humanity#it reminds us that humanity is shared. this girl isn’t dancing in a mirror. she is dancing with a friend.#paintings don’t simply show us the world. they help teach us how to live in it.

politely excused from the petplay session because i wanted to have a productive dialogue about what it truly means to be a “good” or a “bad” boy. by whos metric does one become a “bad” boy? and what does it mean to be a “good” boy? why should we strive to be “good” boys? and why has god allowed “bad” boys, and by extension, the concept of “bad”, to exist ? but now i must ponder these conundrums in silence with my peanits hard by myself

Guy horror directors: and then we will cut to the scariest image of all…. Naked old woman with sagging boobs

#This misses the point and focuses on the woman’s looks and not the myth of the Crone which is sad bc the Crone is a TERRIFYING figure#I mean you have to be semi educated in occult to understand symbolism in art so not everyone is going to get it#But the Crone is an ancient figure who represents Time and the inevitability of your actions coming to light#That she is an old woman is less about misogyny and more about how dark and terrifying The Feminine is in esoterica#The Feminine is extremely metal and her saggy boobs aren’t about her attractiveness but about her refusal and inability to nurture#She will have no mercy on your ass#dweebs w a gender studies 101 degree make portrayals of the Dark Feminine about misogyny and think they’re saying something revolutionary

this is so funny. “oh yeah it’s just using the image of an old, unattractive woman as unnurturing which has existed since ancient times which has never been historically misogynistic and YOU’RE the loser for thinking otherwise. btw i’m putting this in the tags because i don’t actually want to interact with you but i want to prove myself as more superior and intelligent to my followers xoxo”

the real answer to almost every “does [identity A] belong in [identity B] spaces” question is actually just “these spaces are informal social groups and if you’re cool you can hang, don’t worry about it”

You can be Homer Simpson at the lesbian bar. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.
