A famous wag once said, ( I think), “We all get the faces we deserve by the time we’re 40.” If that’s true, this woman is going to look like a monster by that time. There is such evil and bad-heartedness already written on her face that she would probably have to spend all of the rest of the time between now and then

People who love the Victorian era are so basic. This 1920’s lady is way cooler and more self-aware (click CC for English subs):

This woman bothers me so much. I studied the Victorian era extensively in school and she’s “living” in one very tiny aspect of it. Of COURSE she would choose to be a wealthy woman instead of dealing with the horrific poverty of the time. It’s myopic yet completely unsurprising.

Sorry, no, that’s dangerous bullshit, and it’s romanticization of something that’s not a fucking joke. “Mental illness” and “art forms” do not belong on any kind of continuum together, and any concentration you see of people with mental illness in the art world can be explained by the phenomenon of artists cultivating

I love poetry (literally have favorite poems, poets, lines that make me tear up a little, etc) but also I am very very mentally ill. So like much of art, it only makes sense to people who are overdramatic and wrong in the head.
