“Requiem for June” process, oil on panel, 32 x 30 in.
I scrolled down and thought this was a photograph of a painting sitting behind some candles. Not until I scrolled back up did I realise that the candles are part of the painting.

idk if it’s because she’s pregnant or w/e but my sister, an art history major, turned stay at home mom, thinks she knows as much math as me all of the sudden like I was talking about like 3rd order differential equations and she was just like “lol just use photomath” uh they barely make calculators that can do past 2nd order. most computer algebra systems don’t go past second order. I had to write a code to check my work on 3rd order +. Not only that but can photomath even do fractions? There’s no way it can do anything above multiplication and division. And then I was talking about linear algebra on fb and applying the geometric series to matrices and she was like “ah yes….. that should be…. linear?” like fucking congrats you read the first word of the post.
This also reminds me of this freshman physics kid that hangs around our office and he tries to keep up with us and it’s hilariously embarrassing. Like we were doing quantum the other day which is a grad level class and he’s like frantically reading Schrodinger’s Wikipedia page and offering up useless nonsense like “uh uh Schrodinger’s cat!!” thanks kid we’re talking about applying the Dirac equation
exeggutive-dysfunction asked:
I'm so confused about why people think you're insulting art majors lmao... you literally just said that art history majors don't have in-depth knowledge of higher order differential equations? How is this a controversial statement?
apparently thats the same as insulting every art major ever and equivalent to calling them all big dumb idiots for making the BRAZEN assumption that they wouldn’t know higher order diff. eq. lmao

Everything movies taught me about archery is wrong. This is a complete mind-blower. 8D
If you are even remotely interested in archery or medieval combat, check this out, it’s just great!
OMFG EVERYONE PLEASE DROP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WATCH IT RIGHT NOW O_O
HOLY HELL
Not only is this fascinating, there are a lot of images from art history here. It just goes to show that what you can learn from the past isn’t limited to facts you can know, but things you can do.
My favorite part?
He learned this doing research for LARPs (Live Action Role Playing):
Lars Andersen originally started using bow and arrow to fight in pretend battles during Larps (live action role play) events, where he played a soldier in a medieval-inspired army. While Larps can be about anything – the Danish/Polish Harry Potter inspired larp College of Wizardry (cowlarp.com) recently got world-wide media attention and there wasn’t a rubber sword in sight there – many Larps take place in fantasy worlds inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. And it was at one of these Larps, that Lars started to learn to shoot fast while moving.
In 2012, Lars Andersen released his video, “Reinventing the fastest forgotten archery”, where he showed how he had learned to shoot from old archery manuscripts. Using these old, forgotten techniques, Lars demonstrated how he was now the fastest archer on the planet, and after its release, the video got 3 million hits on YouTube in two days.
Since the 2012 video was released, Lars has studied and practiced, and he is now able to fire three arrows in 0.6 seconds – a truly stunning feat making him much faster than the legendary fictional archer Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom in the Lord of the Rings movies).
The time benchmark he was trying to achieve, according to the video, was the expectation of the speed at which “Saracen” archers were expected to shoot. In fact, most of the source material as far as I can see isn’t European.
A lot of the techniques described are also used in Mongolian Archery, which requires being able to shoot from horseback, and is traditionally practiced by men and women. You can see a video here.
blathers is a whole ass academic with phds in ichthyology and entomology and a minor in art history and yet when a small child hands him the literal mona lisa and tells him they bought it from his old flame’s ex-husband who is also a wanted criminal his response is to go hmmm. yes. thank you. the best place for this is the museum of this desert island. there is nothing strange at all about this turn of events.
just based on from what i can remember from the early game i feel like blathers is probably on the island to do a field survey on the local fauna and the paleontological significance of the area. so anyway cut to blathers back in animal city doing his presentation during the yearly conference. the powerpoint concludes and he asks for questions.
man in crowd: sir. sir may i ask–what is that in the background of the fourth slide
blathers: eh? oh! well, that’s one of the paintings which was kindly donated to me by this island’s inhabitants! isn’t it grand?
man in crowd, as his fellow academics begin to murmur: yes is…is that the…is that the real mona lisa, sir?
blathers: by my accounts i do believe it is!
man in crowd, now having to yell over the commotion: sir are you aware that that painting was stolen from the louvre in a highly publicized heist. it’s all over the news. how are you not aware of this
blathers: wot
