[ac3th3shark]

Sometimes when I'm really sad I look at pictures of tasselled wobbegong sharks and they're so funny looking I start feeling better.

this is what they look like

i love them so much.

Less "optimus and bumblebee fight megatron and starscream" and more "motley crew of ocean-themed beastformers try to get their old band back together and have to trek through various galaxies to find their missing members"

Another day, another shark added to my collection (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠) my first hammer head! Name suggestions??

Look at his perfectly embroidered little mouth and teeth, THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN NASTY UGLY HARD ASS FELT TEETH STICKING OUT THAT THEY USUALLY PUT ON SHARK PLUSHIES, I HATE THOSE!

I read The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art by Don Thompson a couple of weeks ago, and it reminded me of this part of the Undergallery. I was already pretty sure it was a reference to the Hirst-branded formaldehyde shark, but now I'm sure-sure.

We already know that the theme of the Undergallery is "death and decay", and so is a lot of work that Hirst commissions everyone else to do for him. Now, the full title of the shark installation is the interesting part: The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living. I don't think I need to do much explaining of how it ties into CO's themes, as Sherlock is surrounded by death in both his personal life and just by... being a detective. And how people that he's lost continue to live on because he lives on.

What I love about the game's portrayal of the shark is how it criticises the original work: the first shark rotted away. So Hirst asked for like 4 more sharks. The person who caught them sent an extra shark for free. They were alive when they were sent. So his team replaced the original one, and also made another shark "art" in a pissing contest with some other dude who also made stuffed shark "art".

That is at least six sharks killed in the name of "art".

Fuck, I hate Damien Hirst so much.

Frogwares was right to call it an attempt at provocation, and reference the original shark that escaped its formaldehyde prison and decayed as all things eventually should.

Six Some Sentences Sunday Saturday

and also A MOODBOARD. I am not even sure what those are for but people on AO3 have them on multipart works so I assume they are essential to the craft.

I'm hiding it behind a cut because although I know how to Make Internet Arts I am not especially good at it - I know the keyboard shortcuts I just don't know how to use them well.

When Sylvie catches sight of her reflection in the long mirror behind the bar she can’t resist giving herself a victorious smile; she’s here to celebrate and she damn well deserves that celebration. Finally she has found a buyer for her latest piece of work, and if all goes well it’ll bring at least a few months of financial security before she has to start worrying about the bills again.  She knocks back the remainder of her margarita and orders another, and since the bartender keeps unsubtly staring at her chest she takes her time searching in her purse for the payment, just in case this prompts him to offer this one on the house.  He doesn’t (well, it was a bit of a long shot) but someone else does – a tall, pale, dark-haired man steps in to play Prince Charming instead, and on first impressions alone this unexpected understudy might be good for more than one free drink; she wishes she had ordered something more expensive.

(No prizes for guessing that her "latest piece of work" is in some way fraudulent, or for guessing who the buyer is.)

Was anybody else kept rewatching certain movies in their childhood, to the point you basically knew the script by heart or were you normal?

the way that d&d dragons are both sentient and complex creatures who can integrate with society to some extent, but that their body is still considered valid and ethically sound to harvest for all parts is just a whole hell of a lot to think about huh
