Ownership. When I buy something I want it to stay bought. I'm fed up subscribing and watching my hard earned cash just leach away into the sand over art that I truly love. I'm sick of renting happiness.
So excited when I saw him. Lucifer, I'm betting.
Wherever they are, you can tell that Aziraphale is smiling back at his beloved demon.
Oh, Disco Tony, my funky love...๐บ
Sleeping orange tabby cat has placed its paw in a human hand.
This is McCoy, King of Snugglers. I didn't take his paw. He took my hand.
And my heart โค๏ธ ๐ฅน

He is so beautiful in that role that it's almost overwhelming. My breath catches.
It is! Watched the first 2 episodes tonight and it was like slippers and hot chocolate.
A favourite of mine - so witty, great songs and a truly terrifying villain.
Also, I'm in love with Fidget, "My foot, my foot! My only foot!"
Best. Line. Ever.
I just started watching Americans. Mr Rhys is a cutie.
Kiss that tummy! Danger levels high, but acceptable.
Any other #Merlin fans kicking about? I'm new to the show and now on Season 4. Don't think I have watched anything so simultaneously clunky and charming in my life. The Merlin/Arthur dynamic is adorable.
Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable
This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo
I have been distant from the fandom for a while, but it seems #GoodOmens is still in my brain.
Dealing with a caller at work who was using a vile term to refer to a part of his mother, this angelic voice emerged from my throat:
"Sir, there really is no need for that sort of language."
He hung up.
Probably my favourite noir. Robert Ryan is electric. Ida Lupino is luminous. The setting is grit, followed by ice.
Just wonderful.
I rewatched this a few weeks ago and was surprised at how bored I was. Robert Walker runs away with this movie in his fine two-tone shoes. I'm ashamed to say I wished Farley Granger had the violent end instead.
Truly masterful film - in my top ten. Bogart has never been better.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this. I had never seen Victor Mature do anything that didn't involve epic biblical sandals before, and he is so good in this.
As for Tommy Udo....*shudders*
Chandler's script is just pure gold dust - lyrical, wry, sensual and lethal. One if my noir favourites.
Noir as fantasy and dark poetry. Amazing.
Absolutely, the eggs! Also, the predatory pacing around the bed, as Diane Taylor slowly wakes to the awful realisation of what kind of man she is with. Cady just winds himself up into a rage fueled by disgust. It is terrifying.
I thought he gave an extraordinary performance. It moved me deeply. It upset me, in fact - that level of personal anguish. I don't think I could watch it again. It was THAT good if you know what I mean.
One of my favourite films. Unique, haunting, faerie dark, exquisite. ๐ค๐
Wow! This is so beautiful. Swallows are my favourite bird - watching them, listening to their chatter, brings me profound joy.
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely picture. ๐
No! No turtlenecks! I will be discombobulated for the rest of the day.
Well, that's torn it...
Oh, you are here! Welcome! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ I am over on the west coast, and it is pretty chilly. Make sure you put some layers on ๐ Have a wonderful trip! ๐ฅฐ
Nandermo!? ๐
Oh, hot diggity!
As with GO, I am late to this party, but I think I'm gonna have a big bundle of situationship fun.
Last night I watched the last episode of season 6.
Will there be more!!?
I have just finished watching What We Do in the Shadows and am obsessed. Any moots? Fic recs? Nandor and Guillermo is a thing, right?
Oh, I'm in love with them all! ๐
