This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)
a cavapoo with long hair in various shades of gray sits and poses for the camera. his mouth is open and his pink tongue sticks out, his curly hair situated every which way on the top of his head. text on the image says, "the dog i dropped off." a photo of the cavapoo with text that reads, "the dog i picked up." the pup's luscious fur has been trimmed all the way down, leaving him with a skinny body, but fluffy ears and tail. the pup looks at the camera with an uncanny human expression of disgust. he looks very angry about his new hairdo.

Mount Saint Helens, 1980. The big boom really grabs your attention, of course. I think the first part of the video, where nothing much seems to be happening until you realize the *entire mountainside* is sliding down, is even more awesome. 🧪⛰️🧵

Simple drawings of a bunch of medieval musicians, all looking sorta pissed off. The text reads: No you can't play a merry tune with us!!! No you can't frolic and twirl to our gay melody!!! The fuck were you thinking? Trying to gambol and bound to our lively ballad?

how to draw a medieval cat in two easy steps
a simple tutorial on how to draw a medieval cat. step 1 shows a basic “normal cat" with no details. step 2 shows the same cat but with a "human face" added, featuring a straight mouth and serious eyes. the final drawing combines both elements — a cat with a human-like face, surrounded by sparkles ✨

📢Useful resource klaxon!📢

Just stumbled on the English Broadside Ballad Archive costume book by Megan Palmer, useful for dating ballads (or at least suggesting 'not earlier than) and as a general guide to dress from different periods

#EarlyModern 🗃️
Screenshot from the EBBA costume book, at the top it says 'Elizabethan', there is text beneath and images of women - a mixture of paintings and woodcuts.
