“What do you do if you share your happiness with other people?”

“Happiness? Then something like a hug.”

“Right here?”

“Of course!”

“Between man and woman as well?”

“What does that matter?”

“Then it’s a very nice place.”

Creatures from El by Ellen Jewett

Ellen’s fantastical creatures reside in the outer realms of imagination, given wings of metal, clay, and acrylic paint though their gorgeous if slightly grotesque forms look just as real as the animals they were conjured from. All her sculptures are available at her etsy, though you can commission your own mythical or real beast.

tdrloid: fractalsleuth: heroofbagels: mimejuice: theelfowl: notichi: ohheyimheather: The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world. The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long. They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it.  That is terrifying.  That is terrifying.  That is terrifying.  That is terrifying.  That is terrifying.  That is terrifying.  6 meters = 19 ft guys. THAT IS TERRIFYING. what the unholy fuck this is amazing! I will learn more about this glorious creature, I must. nope nopenopenope nope nope. NOOOOOOOOOO SCREAMS Is it alright that I’m both scared and amazed? くらげ

deflare: tumblino: rose-verres: “A three second exposure meant that subjects had to stand very still to avoid being blurred, and holding a smile for that period was tricky. As a result, we have a tendency to see our Victorian ancestors as even more formal and stern than they might have been.” oh gosh I feel like this is an important image to see and think about, because the original comment is exactly right—the limitations of photography color our perceptions of the past in unreasonable ways. I think many people think of the Victorian age as being drab and stern, because the black-and-white photos have turned sepia toned, their subjects were holding still for quite a long time, and the physical artifacts we can look at have become faded over time. People don’t change much, though. Loving couples were every bit as silly and adorable then as now. Many liked bright colors and gaudy fashions (while others preferred drabber and subdued styles, same as now). They had their crappy music and their classics, their frightening new media and their own inventive pornography. And the same is true of other historical eras, going back in time all the way to the upright apes in Africa. Life has always been hard for humanity, to varying degrees, but even in the darkness, silliness, love, and beauty can survive.
