I have avoided looking at IRL Jonny Sims cause I don't want to skew my headcanons of Jon.

Unfortunately this means that every now and then i get a jumpscare when i see A Certain Picture.

Update: i looked at him and it turns out he's got a cheeky lil face.

HC Jon is intact.

#still not quite sure what he looks like #i do not linger #nice eyes?#JS also sounds a lot like someone i used to work with so...#jonathan sims #tma #i did this with sabaton too #no idea joakims arms existed til i saw them live #changed my life #the magnus archives #i hope he isnt offended #but to be fair it is his face and it is cheeky #He reminds me of the people I used to go clubbing with in the alt scene in Manchester in the 00s.

I love this stupid horse. I first saw it about 20 years ago in art college and it's just existed in a small part of my brain ever since.

Here we go, random question:

What’s your favorite art piece???

Mine’s probably the Lilith statue that’s at the Met (here’s a picture I took of her last year), made by Kiki Smith!!!

That's a great one - a really effective piece!

My favourite piece of art is, uh...

So, it's...

The thing is...

Urgh. It's this fucking horse by Stubbs.

Because... just look at it. It SO HORSE. There's nothing else there. Motherfucker didn't even do a background, just ctrl+backspaced a greeny-brown. It's all horse. I'm not even a particular fan of horses as an animal, but I enjoy this stupid horse painting more than I have ever enjoyed looking at an actual horse.

Ok, so it's actually kind of underwhelming out of context. What you have to remember is that this is in the National Gallery in London and this painting is HUGE. It's like three metres tall and completely dominates the room. It's hard to convey the sheer volume of horse that confronts you when viewing this painting in person.

And the thing is, the structure of the National Gallery and the picture's positioning means that you get glimpses of the through doorways all through your visit, before finally reaching it and being confronted by this massive goddamn horse.

I kind of hate that this is my favourite piece of art. I mean, it's just a horse. But I realised that every time I went to the National Gallery I was really excited to go see the the horse in a way I wasn't to see any other artwork. Plus I usually go with Sasha, and he pointed out I always talked about going to see the horse in a way that I clearly thought was a joke but definitely wasn't.

So yeah, despite my best efforts my favourite art piece is this stupid enormous horse.
