Hey there. My name is Zork. You may know me from Twitter. This is where I reblog stuff I find cool/midly amusing/sexy/whatever. Generally fanart for various anime and other useless tidbits.
IRL I'm 17 and male and fat and try to be intellectual sometimes.

Is this from the show or from a movie? I hope it’s from a movie because if the show has animation quality like that now I may just have to start watching it…
Most of the actors weren’t told of the prop corpse of Eddie under the dining room tablecloth. When it was revealed during filming, their looks of horror are genuine.
Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
ahahah rad
Riff Raff yelling at Magenta to shut up was for-real Richard O’Brien yelling at Patricia Quinn, because she couldn’t stop laughing and he was worried she would ruin the take.
Why is there no HD iTunes rip of Dan Vs…
There has to be one… and I can’t find one, even on private trackers. There’s not even a consistent HD TVrip anywhere. I almost want to pay the $30 for it on iTunes but I’m holding out in case there might be a BluRay someday.
Jan van Eyck… so ahead of his time. The way he draws fabrics is amazing. Also, check out the mirror in the background of the painting. He managed to paint the entire scene, in reverse, and snuck in a self-portrait of himself painting the picture. So meta.
Also, the whole painting functions as a wedding certificate. The two figures painted in the mirror are functioning as witnesses, and van Eyck’s signature on the wall is the legal documentation.
Oh man, we covered this in art history
A lot of people end up assuming that the bride pictured is pregnant, but in actuality, she’s just holding up her very, very long dress. I don’t know why, but I found that really interesting
That actually happened in my art history class two. If you look at other paintings from the period of people who are supposed to be virgins, they wear similar dresses. Several paintings of the Virgin Mary, for example, have hear wearing a similarly-styled dress. So it actually has the opposite meaning a lot of people infer.

“Can’t tell if I love, ironically love or hate this show. Probably a bit of all three. There’s something really sincere about it that won’t let me hate it. On the other hand the animation is really rea…”

GATCHAMAN!
Love me some Gatchaman! It was and is still one of my all-time fav Animes.
Here’s 2 steps in the right direction to finally finish up my pin-up for one of my all-time fave animes.
Also here’s the pin-up roughs of what I’m aiming for.
Thank you, everyone for the Korra fanart love!
Ivan the Terrible and his Son Ivan, 1885
Ugh, I love this painting so much.
Just some background stuff, Ivan the Terrible was the Tsar of Russia for most of the 16th Century. In I think 1581, he caught his daughter-in-law wearing ‘immodest clothing in front of everyone’ and struck her. She was apparently pregnant and she may or may not have had a miscarriage because of it.
Ivan’s son and the girl’s husband, also named Ivan after his father, hears about it and gets into a really heated argument with his father that ends with Ivan the Terrible taking a swing at his son with his pointed staff. It’s said that he immediately fell down and kissed his son’s face, pressing his hands against his left temple to try to stop the bleeding. He famously screamed “May I be damned! I’ve killed my son! I’ve killed my son!” His son briefly regained consciousness and his last words were “I die as a devoted son and most humble servant.”
I love all the details. I love the pointed staff lying on the ground and the signs of a fight with the tossed over chair, disturbed carpet, and the door wide open. I love the single tear on Ivan’s face and their position on the floor. This is a really gorgeous but raw depiction of one of the darkest moments in an incredible man’s life. I wish there were more historical paintings like this.

I don’t care if the bald dude is espousing child murder, Fuckface McPundit below there is still a cretin for arguing via mocking his appearance.
Fuck pundits, especially comedic ones.
