Yes the OP had a pithy message but I've got a one-track mind rn:
I know there are people who don't think Brad Dourif is hot, but I've only talked to one and their resolve crumbled in the face of the Istanbul (1985) car scene
There are lots more Pretty Moments in there, but Istanbul (1985) car scene is burned into my brain matter like the indelible brand of Cain
no one is immune.
(btw this movie is very upsetting please watch at your own risk)
There was this guy in the 1800s - I can't remember his name, but his name is recorded somewhere - who honestly argued that if given the choice between a beautiful woman and a heron, deep down in their most earnest true heart, every man would rather fuck the heron. And he got mad when people denied this, continuing to deny this what he had decided must be an universal truth, instead of praising him for being the only one who was brave enough to finally say it out loud. Like he really thought that every single person telling him "Jesse what the hell are you talking about" was not only denying him, but denying themselves their true desires and perpetuating the apparently massive cultural lie that herons aren't fuckable.
Anyway what I'm saying here is that every once in a while whenever you find yourself in a situation where nobody else is willing to agree with something that you consider the most obvious truth, take a moment to meditate on the possibility that perhaps they do mean what they say, and perhaps they are right. Maybe nobody else but you wants to fuck the heron.
OP posted a whole slew of these Body Parts gifs and I'm cackling aloud at the captions 🤣
how do YOU leave a room
He is just . . . the epitome of sexy.
Still wringing every drop of creative energy from this Dourif fixation 💞
Tried my hand at rotoscoping this mesmerizing Miami Vice gif (from this set by @exdeputysonso):
The scornful, slouchy staredown here really gets me thinking some special thoughts. And he's doing the thing where he gets all up in someone's face, eyes drilling into theirs from inches away — which by all reports is very truly menacing, but even so...
Then there's that beautifully sleazy little outfit with the shirt and chains... I'm so weak for a well-formed neck and décolletage. (The clothes they put him in really are second to none, including ridiculous loungewear and an iconic courtroom ensemble; see this other gifset for more)
There's an added air of threat from the tiny pupils, which really brings out the cold blue in his eyes, amped up by the matching shirt.
Dropping a few individual frames below the cut...
(He looks a bit cross-eyed because he's focusing on the guy's face like 6 inches away)
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
ASSAD ZAMAN as Armand Interview with the Vampire • "Do You Know What It Means to Be Loved by Death"
i've been making a lot of bad art lately which is one of the world's most healing activities but if you have perfectionist tendencies you really have to commit to volume (if you make ONE bad painting it's just a bad painting whereas if you make 20 it's a meditative practice!). unfortunately we live in a one bedroom apartment and now we have to commit a significant portion of our storage to bad paintings. i would recycle them but unfortunately i need spare bad paintings to weave together into bad papercraft!!
anyway so i decided to move my bad artmaking into a new, smaller sphere and make bad linocuts. and let me tell you. if you are trying to get past thinking "my art should be good," linocut is a wonderful teacher. everything can be going great and then you exert slightly too much palm pressure and WHOOPS! sliced the face off. luckily the craft is so niche that negative self-talk can't really stick to it. i'll think something like "everybody else's linocuts are perfect. nobody else fucked up their linocut of a hot lady sphinx." and this is such a patently bananas sentence that i can simply laugh fondly at it and continue hacking away at my little rubber square. recommend
