I'm just a gal. 20 years old. Sometimes a student, sometimes a patient. I take photos once in a while too. I was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of cancer, but I'm just trying to live my life and stay positive. Some things I like too much include, but are not limited to: various sea creatures, Harry Potter, bats, American Horror Story, art, Dexter, things I find cute and just general nonsense I find funny.

Le génie du mal [The genius of evil, aka; Lucifer]; Guillaume Geefs

“The statue was originally a commission for Geefs’ younger brother Joseph, who completed it in 1842 and installed it the following year. It generated controversy at once and was criticized for not representing a Christian ideal. The cathedral administration declared that “this devil is too sublime.” The local press intimated that the work was distracting the “pretty penitent girls” who should have been listening to the sermons.” [x]

> Make sculpture of the devil

> No this sculpture is too hot for church

> Make another one

> It’s even hotter

Few living creatures have a stronger sense of hearing than beluga whales, which means they can hear every little thing you say about them, whether they want to or not.

explosionsoflife:

Unlike most other eels, ribbon eels (Rhinomuraena quaesita) change color and sex during their life. Juveniles are nearly black with a yellow dorsal fin. As they mature, the black becomes bright blue and the snout and lower jaw turn yellow. This is the male color stage. When they reach a body length of about 1.3m, the males turn yellow and become fully functional females, which lay eggs. Ribbon eels live on coral reefs, mostly hiding in crevices. They have leaflike nostril flaps, which sense vibrations in the water.

Half-Mourning Dress
1910-1912
The Victoria & Albert Museum

What’s a “half-mourning” dress? Mourning in the front, party in the back?

Half-Mourning was the third stage of mourning for a widow. She would be expected to mourn her husband for at least two years, the stages being Full Mourning, Second Mourning and Half-Mourning. The different stages regulated what they would be wearing, with Full Mourning being all black and with no ornamentation, including the wodow’s veil, and the stages after that introducing some jewellery and modest ornamentation. When in Half-Mourning you would gradually include fabrics in other colors and sort of ease your way out of mourning.
Wow, I am happy you made that joke so I could interpert it as a serious question and have an excuse to ramble on about clothing customs of the past, I am a historical fashion nerd.

That’s very informative, but I’m going to stick with my original head canon:

I love both the informed fashion history and the hilariously off-the-wall halves of this post.
