Being Catholic* is actually such a goated advantage when taking Medieval and Early Renaissance art history classes because 75% of these lectures are just expanations of Biblical stories that I learned at Sunday school when I was eight lmao

* and by catholic i mean that weird “its my heritage and i have faith but the church/organized religion in general really sucks” kinda in-between

Me: *gives an entire large dog treat (in pieces) to a 2# puppy*

Doc: Heather! That is breakfast, lunch, AND dinner for her!

Me: *am an unrepentant puppy treater and give more*

Doc: *takes the treats and hands me the vaccines* I'm revoking your treat privileges. You get to poke her instead.

Eddie Munson who gets his Lizzie McGuire moment by going to Rome with an university art program.

The only requirement is to visit museums regularly and redraw the art pieces in his style and submit his work by the end of it.

What seems to be a piece of cake for Eddie, gets a lot more complicated when the average Italian museum worker is met with his peculiar drawings style -which might include evil dragons and decapitated heads in some of Caravaggio’s Still Lives and, in worst cases, some additions to Christian art pieces that have been described as “blasphemy” as he was getting escorted out and banned from the Vatican’s Museums (and maybe the whole country, Eddie still doesn’t know so he avoids that part of the city just to be safe).

And Eddie, who will never compromise his work integrity for a few Italian bigots, ends up in one of the least known and visited museums of the city. Which still, by his standards, contains fine art he can work on.

And if this particular museum, which is one hour and a half of public transport from his house, has a really hot security guard who follows him closely and barks at every tourist that tries to take a picture of his drawings, he surely won’t complain.

i find it funny that the only italian thing about perconte is his love for spaghetti

‘Just fleshing out’ a background character for a fic is so dangerous bc either all you do is slap a name on some guy who shows up one time and go on with your life, or you end up pathologically obsessed with a character that not only doesn’t exist anywhere except your own head, but at this point might also be directly contradicting whatever slivers of canon information they actually have

[phineas-and-herb]

can't stop thinking abt how ferb canonically has incredibly long, willow-y legs and his pants just have an extremely low crotch by design. lil british boy dressin like MC hammer

god some many of you have the dumbest takes on american culture and its obvious you have zero clue what you're actually talking about

[swallowtail-ageha]

Just saw the "i am negatively surprised by the fact that we only learn how nutrients work if we actively search for it instead of it being taught in health classes' and i wholeheartedly agree but also?? What do they teach in american classes??? Like holy shit the american educational system it's so fucking awful???

[sunspira]

if i have an ethnic identity at all its best described by those racially insensitive but romantically artistic amalgamations of real world places and peoples in fantasy maps. or like the ancient city of carthage. fortunately this can lead to celebrating an ocean of people all with blended and indeterminate genealogy and a series of vibrant shared cultures and histories that transcend ever-changing ancient empires and modern national borders. unfortunately this can lead to fascism

[soupinaboot]

I don't know what he is but it sure as hell ain't American.
