dying from easily treatable diseases to own the libs lol
she was also anti-vax and it was the flu and meningitis that killed her (both completely routine to vaccinate for, esp in your early 20s) so here’s ur reminder to go get vaccinated and not listen to ppl who tell you otherwise!
Seriously though if your “lust” demon is designed to be sexy and seductive thereby making you want to do a lust on it or something, then logical progression should mean that the gluttony demon is made out of delicious food, wrath should be someone so obnoxious you can’t possibly hold your temper around them and sloth should be a really nice couch
I guess this means greed would have to be made of or full of money, maybe like a piggy bank demon and you have to murder it to get the treasure inside.
Envy is just this really really awesome guy or gal, like so charming and cool and tough and successful at everything it makes you feel like shit, they’re everything everybody wishes they were.
And then pride would have to be the exact opposite, a gross slob who kisses your ass and tricks you into feeling superior
like…I OWN the goku? And that makes me feel sinfully proud?
Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.
Also… art forgers like van Meegeren sometimes become a kind of folk hero. A swindler, sure, but a gentleman’s swindler.
I liked this guy’s story, Mark Landis, who conned several dozen museums into displaying his forgeries, but when the FBI came after him they couldn’t do anything because he had always given them away as donations. They said if they could have found that he’d ever taken anything in exchange they would have prosecuted him, but all he wanted was get to out of the house and meet people.
“The first painting Landis “donated” was a copy of a work by Maynard Dixon, an artist well-known for his paintings of cowboys and Indians. It started as impulse, Landis says, but then “everybody was just so nice and treated me with respect and deference and friendship, things I was very unused to — I mean, actually not used to at all. And I got addicted to it.””
And it looks like all his forgeries are done with cheap materials, like markers and Hobby Lobby frames.
Ok, but Wolfgang Beltracchi is probably one of the best Fraud Artists in the world.
His career brought him millions upon millions of dollars and lasted almost 40 years. He finally admitted to painting fraudulent art after the white paint he used came under scrutiny.
In The interview with Beltracchi, he said that none of his forgeries are copies, they’re all original works that the famous artists could have painted.
His wife was also in on the scam, she would dress up in old clothing and take pictures holding the paintings with old cameras to fake proof of the paintings’ ages.
At the end of the interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi he was asked if he felt he had done anything wrong, his answer was “ Yeah, I used the wrong kind of paint”
Just … the levels of con there, the fake photos and … wow. That’s incredible.
Thanos is a weak ass bitch of a villain because ever since killmonger I need all my villains to pull up with some style, looks, a certain je ne sais quoi. Killmonger stole a thousand year old artifact and wore it as armor and wore solid gold fangs. What did Thanos wear? The same body armor for hundreds of years and a dumb glove that wasn’t even designer
People are all like “he’s an alien” like so was Hela and she pulled up with some iconic goth looks, Chanel horned helmet, a beautiful smokey eye, nails that could cut diamonds, Thanos has no excuse fashion is universal
and dont forget that jeff goldblum is even OLDER than thanos and he shows up in a gold bathrobe and stuff and looks a hell of a lot better than thanos.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
