"I'm sorry. I'm rusty. I feel disconnected. This is hard. We're out of touch. I'll start again. I'll try to be simple. The last time I saw you, you asked me to tell you what I wanted. You said you couldn't tell. You don't even have a favourite colour, you said. But that's not true. My favourite colour is your favourite colour. My favourite meal, yours. Why does this make you so angry? I have my own mind but my desire is not thinking; it's an echo, a reverberating shock. I am so much yours, I am no longer myself. Is that so wrong?"

From 'May 1st '

Sharon Hayes, 2012

At the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art

okay my love of night at the museum as a kid actually totally tracks with how much I like bbc ghosts and other six idiots content now. I'm connecting the dots.

#the six idiots could do a banger natm reboot #ben and larry are the tiny roman/cowboy #i cant remember their names #jim is teddy roosevelt.#it all tracks.#maybe mat is the main guy. the regular dude.#anyway #they could do an awesome natm and a HEARTBREAKING ragad #i feel like again ben and larry are ros and guil. theyre just the dynamic duo.#mat and martha are hamlet and ophelia #larry is the main player.#it ALL WORKS #bbc ghosts #night at the museum #ragad #rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead

The voices in my head tells me to pull the plug,

on something that once meant me the whold world.

Now it lays at my feet,.

Ashes, of what once had been a beautiful dream.

'Tens minutes more' turned into 'maybe you should go'.

The instant seen messages turned into a once in a while checked post.

hi random ask coming through look around you what's the closest item you have there that you want to talk to me about. like a cool poster or a mug or something!!!!!!

Saw your post when I was in my kitchen, and this was the coolest item next to me, resting on my shelf.

What looks like a simple tiny vase of some sort, is actually a shell from the first world war. Soldiers would recuperate shells that had fallen all around on the battlefield, empty them of any remaining gunpowder, and use them to create art - carving intricate decorations as a way to pass time when they were stuck in the dug-outs for days.

Decorated shells are the most famous exemples of trench art.

At the bottom of this one you can see this specific shell was manufactured on september 1917, for infantry use (the grenade symbol on the right, as opposed to marine or anti-air use for instance)

My friend gifted this to me after we spent a week visiting the area around Verdun last winter, as a strange sort of pilgrimage. It was odd and emotional, and this week felt like it lasted a month, but it was good.

#ww1 #trench art #asks #ww1 is my suspiciously cishet male interest but i swear im normal about it lol #im not a crier but got severely teary eyed because of a handwritten and handpainted postcard by a father to his daughter we saw at a museum #he had sent it alongside carved toys he had made out of wood just for her #it was so dripping with love. so so much. i don't have the words for it #and the note from the museum described the object and ended by saying this man died on the no man's land and never returned home #what a massacre. so much heartbreak #and through it all people still made art #anyway hBGHB this got longer than i planned but god can i get rambling at times #thank you sm for the ask!!

Speaking of stories that make you feel like dogshit but I think are important to experience, here’s a list of my own.

Fair warning: please friends if you have any triggers, look up the trigger warnings for these. Many of these will be chock full of them, or... will be Very Politically Incorrect, to say the least, aka products of their time or morally grey or addressing topics in ways we perhaps would not do today. You’re all big grown-ups and can do your own research and form your own nuanced opinions of these stories. These stories all profoundly influenced me, or taught me important things, or at the very least, opened my eyes to new, sometimes painful perspectives that are important to be aware of.

Movies

Grave of the Fireflies

Barefoot Gen (1 & 2)

When the Wind Blows (1986)

Persepolis (was originally a graphic novel, so counts for the below categories as well)

Series

Bojack Horseman

Chernobyl

The Haunting of Hill House

Books/Graphic Novels

Farewell to Manzanar

The Diary of Anne Frank

All Quiet On The Western Front

To Kill a Mockingbird

1984

Pride of Baghdad

Misc.

The Holocaust Museum in Washington DC (obviously not a story, but an incredibly important experience in my opinion, and technically full of millions of biographies)

Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC

I will inevitably remember more that I’ve seen and can’t think of right now, so when I do, I’ll reblog this with more additions.

#i recommend these in the same way i recommend going to museums that show the ugly parts of history #important stories #gonna call these Important Feel Bad Books/Movies/Media/Experiences #the haunting of hill house is a li'l more fiction-oriented than all the others #but it was still a heartbreaking enjoyment

I saw you took her to an art museum, or maybe she took you. Maybe she was happy to open herself up and you were happy to be let in.

You took pictures of the exhibits and you probably stood next to her, admiring the work before you like you know so fucking much about art.

We never went to an art museum. You never asked and I never shared because I think deep down I didn't feel like you cared because anytime I told you about my writing you reaction was lacluster so why would I share more?

My life is art, my soul is art, my breath is art, and my brain has only ever thought in colors and prose and brush strokes but you took Her to an art museum. You admired the art with Her. Not me, even though the last time I went to a museum I saw a Van Gogh and cried my eyes out, even though I could spend hours roaming the halls.

You didnt see me, I don't think. Because anytime you talked about art or beauty it was never my name you conjured up for the task. Five years by my side and you still never fucking saw me in the end.

And now you go to an art museum, with her, as if my blood isn't splattered on ever piece hanging on the wall. But you don't see it, you don't see me, you never have.

-After, August 2023

honestly did not like dc that much. the ppl were extremely nice tho but i had a lot of feelings abt that city while i was there.

#i mean obviously any city has its extremely wealthy taking advantage of poverty stricken folks but god damn #it was kind of heartbreaking to see in the literal us capital.#the museums were not fun #my family was shoving american patriarchy down my throat #and the metro driver literally lied to ppl to get off and they got flooded underground for hours 😭😭😭#also ngl id just come from nyc and i loved it there and def didnt want to leave. sorry.

Hear me out:

Jk gets an amazing job offer back in Korea and so he takes it and they do long distance for a while but it doesn’t work so they break up. There’s a time jump of 2 years and they cross paths again because they’re invited to hobi and jiho’s wedding. They end up hooking up because they’re still both single and drunk (and still in love with each other) Then jk has to go back to Korea but he realises that he still loves oc and that he’s not happy without her and they get back together.

This is … sorta close to the idea that I have, yet that’s not exactly it… should I do it tho?? Haven’t they gone through enough already?🫣

Things i think should be implemented for all adults immediately:

Adult sized Playgrounds. Both outside ones and indoor padded ones

Recess

Light up shoes

Getting a little gift at the doctor's. Especially invasive uncomfortable ones like downstairs ones and the dentist (and no the gift cannot be a toothbrush).

Further info on the gifts: Plushies, little toys, fidgets and stuff you can get at finance conventions are all applicable. These cannot be gendered if my gynecologist gives me a girl power lipgloss i will start murdering people i want a plushie. (not pink!). Badges for being very brave and doing an awesome job.

Getting a little gift after you submitted your taxes or when you did some official paperwork like a patch or maybe a sticker

Dinosaur bed sheets (adult sized!!!!)

Nonfiction books with textured patches in them and little flaps to reveal secret information. Because unfortunately i already know about farm animals.

No homework (this goes for kids too it's damaging)

Books about adventures that aren't about sex or depression or violence or tax evasion but also do not the feature 11 year old protagonists as middle schooler books understandably do.

Sand boxes with sand box toys and little mills you can power with sand and no i don't mean zen gardens they're awesome but not what i need

Informed consent gender affirming care and abortions and sterilisations

Museums where you can touch everything and press buttons to make things move (and no the ones that are specifically for kids get you stared at and you are expected to let the kids go first. I have the same rights a toddler has to stare at how the different sands move from button pressing position for 15 minutes and i need a space to do so)

Cool funfacts about animals and space in the newspaper

#own post #the tax evasion is a shout-out to grr martin for his spectacularly annoying ass views on what things books should contain to be “valid”#these finance conventions have the best gifts like a miniature to scale foldable measuring stick thing or a bubble maker or a little glow #in the dark keychain charm or little wood building blocks in a satchel #seriously there awesome #i am so serious about the dinosaur bedsheets i saw the most beautiful ones here on tumblr but i couldn't buy them online and it was a #severe heartbreak realising i could not purchase them in any way and have dinosaur bed sheets #and i looked it up and all the available ones are not the same concept or children's sizing and too small #yes the informed consent medical procedures belong on this list thematically #and i am so serious about the museums #also for the adventure books: i do not mean cozy fantasy i mean adventure books. cozy fantasy is aweos but not what i mean
