took my time with the alt text to condense a bit of the artistic history and intricacy of texture (of which there is So Much) in the cathedral but i skimped on a bit of the larger historical details. if anyone is interested i'm more than happy to talk more about each

A high-angle, black-and-white photograph looking up at the intricate stone ceiling of the Gothic Cathedral of Segovia. The image showcases elaborate Late Gothic rib vaulting, featuring a complex network of intersecting curved lines and geometric patterns that resemble stars or floral shapes. Massive, fluted stone columns converge toward the top of the frame, drawing the eye upward. In the lower center, a circular domed skylight (oculus) provides a focal point of soft light, while a smaller arched window and decorative stone carvings are visible along the lower galleries.
A black-and-white photograph of a Baroque-style altarpiece within the Segovia Cathedral. The central focus is a statue of the Virgin Mary housed in an arched niche, her arms outstretched and gaze directed upward, surrounded by small cherubs at her feet. Above the niche, a grand pediment features a crest with a monogram, flanked by several sculpted cherubs nestled among clouds. A large stone cross crowns the entire structure. The altarpiece is framed by dark, polished marble columns with ornate capitals, set against the soaring stone arches of the cathedral's interior. A soft light enters from a circular window in the background, highlighting the textures of the carvings.
A close-up, black-and-white photograph of a reclining religious sculpture of Jesus Christ, known as the "Cristo Yacente" (Recumbent Christ), located in the Segovia Cathedral. The image focuses on the head and upper torso of the figure, which is shown in a state of death, lying flat. His head is slightly tilted, featuring deeply carved, wavy hair and a thick beard. The eyes are partially closed, and the mouth is slightly open, conveying a realistic and solemn expression of repose. The figure rests against a surface decorated with elegant floral scrollwork patterns. Dramatic side-lighting casts deep shadows, emphasizing the fine details of the facial features and the texture of the sculpture against a muted, stone-block background.
A low-angle, black-and-white photograph of the massive bell tower of the Segovia Cathedral, rising toward a clear, bright sky. The tower is built of light-colored stone and features several tiers of decorative blind arches and narrow vertical slits. Near the top, two large arched openings reveal the cathedral's bells. The corners of the tower are adorned with ornate Gothic pinnacles and carved stone details. In the foreground, the dark, leafy branches of a tree partially obscure the base of the tower, providing a sense of scale and contrast against the pale masonry. The perspective emphasizes the tower's height and imposing architectural presence.

A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA
OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!
that fanfest mount is absurd because it really is just reused parts from the SDS fenrir, but it's particularly evil because the SDS fenrir doesn't have the beautiful chug or the engine that the hardy-daytona does. i think it should be illegal to bait engine perverts like that

not saying that joy and whimsy have completely left us as a whole but it's crazy to think an all-around crowd pleaser like this can have a notable negative pushback of any kind. i can nitpick it, sure, but overall it's a phenomenal film
having seen project hail mary now i really don't get why it would ever be classified as a "watch this before [social media platform] tells you it's bad" movie. it's so well-rounded and wonderfully shot and written. if a version of this came out in the 90s it would've become a classic overnight

An image of King Harkinian traced over an image of a man with "I HEART EATING SHIT" on his forehead, instead replaced with "I HEART EATING DINNER" with an equally serene smile.
