headcanon that maes hughes introduced himself to a lot of people as “the best at corny puns.” some people caught on immediately, but six months into their friendship roy puts down a glass of water, hides his face in his hands, and whispers “maize” under his breath and nobody understands why
No but the history behind this picture is really interesting
The reason that everyone always looked miserable in old photos wasn’t that they took too long to take. Once photography became widespread it took only seconds to take a picture.
It was because getting your photo taken was treated the same as getting your portrait painted. A very serious occasion meant so thst your descendants would know that ypu existed and what you looked like.
But one time some British dudes went to china to go on an anthropological expedition, and they met some rural Chinese farmers and decided to take their pictures. Now, these people weren’t exposed to the weird culture of the time around getting your photo taken, so this guy just flashed a big grin during the photo because he was told to strike a pose and that’s the pose he wanted to strike.
I think painted portraits and old photos give us the idea that in general people were just really unhappy because those are the visuals we have. This is so refreshing.
Hey, look; “Man Laughing Alone With Rice” is back on my dash.
always reblog Happy Rice Guy. once upon a time, he really enjoyed his lunch, and that’s beautiful.
Ywah we’re bitter because theres people who try to diversify their style and still get the door slammed on them while people who make same face/body over and over again become “professionals”
Hold on just a minute.
Do y’all really think sakimi prefers drawing the same thing over and over again? She does it because that’s what the market wants and responds to, and so what pays her bills. I’m sure Sakimi started by drawing a shit ton of other things that also never got noticed.
Just because your super original style or experimental idea didn’t get the notes you wanted doesn’t mean you get to shit on artists who found and stuck to a formula that works. Your lack of success is not a popular artist’s fault.
So I just want to add, because it’s not on this particular version of this post, but those 3 were picked very purposefully to attempt to make a point without even linking to her pages where you can clearly see she does a hell of a lot more than just these which are still very beautiful btw. Not to mention that even in those 3 shown the only similarities are in skin color and maybe body shape literally everything else is unique and requires a tremendous amount of skill and effort. Also I know I don’t really _need_ to add to this post but I’m going to anyway.
So yeah if you don’t care for her stuff, sure fine whatever that’s your deal. But don’t be a dick and spread half-truths and misinformation
for real people need to stop being bitter
