geertgen tot sint jans -- "the nativity at night" (ca. 1490)

"… i saw the child in her womb move and suddenly in a moment she gave birth to her son, from whom radiated such an ineffable light and splendour, that the sun was not comparable to it, nor did the candle that st. joseph had put there, give any light at all, the divine light totally annihilating the material light of the candle … i saw the glorious infant lying on the ground naked and shining. his body was pure from any kind of soil and impurity. then i heard also the singing of the angels, which was of miraculous sweetness and great beauty" … saint bridget of sweden

"here the sources of light are the infant jesus himself, in accordance with bridget's vision, who is the sole source of illumination for the main scene inside the stable, the shepherds' fire on the hill behind, and the angel who appears to them" … wikipedia

"truly he was a painter in his mother's womb" … albrecht dürer

"we must assume he meant geertgen and not the baby jesus" … al janik

I think one of the funniest things about the natm community is that people argue over jeds hair color. Some are like "HES BLONDE IN THE LIVE ACTION, ITS STUPID THEY CHANGED IT!!", others are fine with the ginger hair, but, guys, historically he's a brunette.

(While looking through a few documents on him I also found out that HE WAS FUCKING FRIENDS WITH CLARK, LIKE LEWIS AND CLARK CLARK)

But anyway he's got brown hair , styled like a emo from trying to cover it up after being mauled by a grizzly bear and he's not actually southern, he's from New York and was raised in Pennsylvania after his father got found out for counterfeit money.

only DT fans will understand me here but I LOVE that David has a distinct look when he's a villain. there's just a very specific expression that he has, the demeanour. when he's a villain. you can just SENSE it. the look in his eyes. you don't see it with his non-villain characters. if anyone else actually knows what I mean here then GOOD, I can't find any photo evidence at the moment but DT fans please tell me you know what I'm getting at here 😭

A little adventure of a hedgehog.🦔 (part 1)

A few days ago, I was woken up by a dog barking in the middle of the night. It wouldn't stop and wouldn't let me sleep, so I decided to look out the window and find out what was wrong. Perhaps the dogs are just playing with each other in the yard. However, they were barking in one direction, trying to bite or paw something. Their behavior was similar to that of my dogs, so I immediately took the thickest towel and went into the yard.

Our street dogs are actually kind. All the tenants take care of them. I think that the dogs have developed a hunting interest. And the guess turned out to be correct: a hedgehog was hiding in the tall grass. Taking him in a towel, I planned to take him to the nearest park, but my four-legged friends were in no hurry to disperse and followed me. And somehow I'm ashamed even in front of them, they were so glad to see me, they thought that I had come to help them, but alas.😅

I had to bring the hedgehog home. Tumblr does not allow you to attach multiple videos, so this story will consist of two parts.🙂

Маленькое путешествие ёжика.🦔 (ч.1)

Несколько дней на��ад меня разбудил собачий лай посреди ночи. Он не прекращался и не давал спать, поэтому я решила посмотреть в окно и выяснить, в чем дело. Возможно, собаки просто играют между собой во дворе. Однако, они лаяли в одну точку, пытались её укусить или ударить лапой. Их поведение напоминало поведение моих собак, поэтому я сразу взяла самое толстое полотенце и пошла во двор.

Наши уличные собаки на самом деле добрые. Все жильцы о них заботятся. Думаю, что у пёсиков разыгрался охотничий интерес. И догадка оказалась верной: в высокой траве прятался ежик. Взяв его в полотенце, я планировала отнести в ближайший парк, но четвероногие друзья не спешили расходиться и шли за мной. И как-то даже перед ними стыдно, они были так рады мне, думали, что я пришла им помочь, но увы.😅

Пришлось принести ёжика домой. Тумблер не даёт прикреплять несколько видео, поэтому данная история будет состоять из двух частей.🙂
