I just found out that they made a movie in 2021 about Louis Wain and fucking Benedict Cumberbatch was cast to play him 😭😭😭 STOP IT!!!! STOP CASTING HIM AS EVERY SINGLE QUIRKED UP WHITE MAN! CAST ANY OTHER PERSON!
#i dont even have anything against him other than the general bitter aftertaste of bbc sherlock#but like#do the people who make movies know that there are other guys out there#i dont need to see him pretending to be autistic ANYMORE!!#anyway louis wain is one of my favorite artists and his declining mental health actually did not have any provable effects on his artwork#he continued to paint cats in his iconic style alongside his experimental kaleidoscope cats at the end of his life#and he helped decorate the institution he lived in for christmas over multiple years with happy christmas kittens#he did not 'descend into madness' and even if he was schizophrenic that doesnt mean his surreal artwork would be a product of his condition#to imply that is to pretend schizophrenic people cant be creative and also to discredit Wains range as an experimental artist#his ceramic future cats are proof that he was interested in different styles even before he was institutionalized
