#HansChristianAndersen could escape, once in a while, the homophobia of 19thC Copenhagen by spending time in Florence, one of the only places in Europe where homosexuals like him could live openly.

#HansChristianAndersen was born in Denmark #OnThisDay in 1805 & "The Ugly Duckling," "The Little Mermaid" & "The Emperor's New Clothes" have become classics of the fairy tale literature. I came across this statue of the Dane in Central Park five years ago (2.24.21)

🪷 Born 2 April 1805: #HansChristianAndersen, saint of #Antinous. Sadly, he was self-hating gay man, a true-life Ugly Duckling for whom there was no happy ending. But his gayness shines through his fairy tales of triumph over adversity. Full tribute: antinousstars.blogspot.com/2026/04/hans... 🪷

🪷 #HansChristianAndersen was born 2 April 1805. Sadly, he was a self-hating gay Ugly Duckling who never found true love in real life. He is a beloved saint of #Antinous for inspiring us to discover our own inner beauty. Watch the classic Disney toon: youtu.be/RCX-mPstrPU 🪷

Hoy, Día del Libro Infantil, celebramos a Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875). Nacido en Odense en una familia humilde, llegó a Copenhague con sueños de actor; sus penas y anhelos se transformaron en cuentos inmortales —«La sirenita», «El patito feo», #DíaDelLibroInfantil #HansChristianAndersen

This curious, deep brown haired, sitting little mermaid's tail, inspired by a danish trout, is spotted on the sides and dark grayed on every fin from the bottom to the buttocks along with her sides and crotch... Oyster shells line her waist on a pearl beaded thread. Her top half has a round belly and small, uncovered breasts with her thick arms holding her body up while her hair flows downwards with bangs rising upwards in front of both her ears. Her face has chubby, rosy cheeks and dark blue irises with a small pointed nose plus thin, tiny brows above her oval shaped eyes. Note: *All features of this mermaid are represented in various shades of grey as the drawing was made with only a sketchbook and pencil.*
Tried designing a book accurate design for Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid...

This is not the beginning, but the end. This is no fairytale, just the story of one dying man and a monster. Just another set of bones sinking to ocean's depth.

Waking up to 18° in central Texas is not a common occurrence... and the expected high today is 30°. Looks like the work of Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #snowqueen #hanschristianandersen #bigfreeze

Ironically as this involves Denmark as well, his speech & presidency is based on one of #hanschristianandersen finest tales, the emperors new clothes.
