Slipper lobsters go seriously hard. No fr they’re so swag and full of merriment
Now I'm feeling a bit ripped off that we've never had any fairy tale adaptions the leaned into the crayfish/lobster/crab fairy...
Although that does sound/look rather similar to the plot of Disney's Sleeping Beauty (again, sadly with less crustaceans, although...)
Hang on, this isn't how I remember it...
The Orange Fairy Book illustrated by Tomislav Tomić
‘The stories are taken from those told by grannies to grandchildren in many countries and in many languages – French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Gaelic, Icelandic, Cherokee, African, Indian, Australian, Slavonic, Eskimo.’ In his preface to the final title in our Rainbow Fairy Book series, Andrew Lang describes the diverse origins of these tales. They vary from ‘The Ugly Duckling’ by Hans Christian Andersen to ‘The White Slipper’ – a reversal of the Cinderella story, in which the king loses his precious white slipper and offers his daughter’s hand to whoever finds it.
The introduction to this edition is by award-winning writer Sara Maitland, whose most recent book, Gossip from the Forest, explores the provenance of fairy tales. Tomislav Tomić is a Croatian artist and children’s author, whose detailed and lively artwork includes a decorated title page, illustrated endpapers and numerous black-and-white drawings. Like all the Rainbow Fairy Books, this volume is beautifully produced, with coloured top-page edges, and luxurious Caxton Wove paper.
Spiny lobster feeding time! These guys are generally pole-fed since they're scattered all over their exhibit, but a few have learned that they get fast and easy food delivery by waltzing right to up to the feeder. That being said, it becomes more of a drive-thru window when you've got other hangry lobsters behind you!
For some reason, New Friend Rob was under the impression that I know what I'm doing and wanted to watch me sculpt today, so I subjected him to the ritual: Jurassic Park III in the background, running commentary under my breath, and eventually some kind of recognizable shape out of polymer clay. He made a couple of cute little figures (pictures forthcoming) and kindly refrained from commenting on my lobster.
Oh, and credit where credit's due: it was totally his idea to use dish soap to make it look like the water is boiling. My friends are so clever.
Super Sculpey, ~90 min.
I made a few Madness Combat scribbles! lol
hiii people!! :3 hope yall have a nice day and week! ♡
my beautiful lobster art i made for art class! (ignore the fact both claws are crusher claws, i couldn’t find a good reference photo with a crusher and pincher, he’s one of the random natural mutations that can happen!)
All of a sudden pasta and lobster ain’t sounding so good rn 😔
i've arriiiiiiiived and I'm about to clock some tea, so sit tight.
seeing a lot of y'all white fans of joseph quinn excuse him of dating doja cat is sickening, and i'm fucking tired of seeing y'all do this time and time again within these fandoms. quick research could tell y'all exactly how problematic doja cat was and is, but y'all refuse to do it because it means that y'all will be forced out of your ignorance.
anti blackness, neo nazism, homophobia, denying and making excuses for dating someone with sexual abuse claims & white supremacy ideas has real life affects on people, and doja cat has perpuated all of that. doja cat being a biracial black woman does not mean that she can not be an agent of white supremacy. y'all ignoring fans who have a moral backbone and are rightfully calling joseph quinn out for choosing to date her and then turning around and gaslighting them by saying stupid shit like "oh, your just jealous", "who cares about who he dates," "y'all are being racist and misogynistic" <- (when misogyny and racism is NOT what's happening when ppl are calling her out for her fuckery, idk maybe learn the actual concepts of misogyny and racism first), and "I still like joseph he's pookie" is a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM.
if y'all wouldn't be caught dating a racist/neo nazi/abuser apologist/homophobe irl, why are y'all making it acceptable for joseph quinn, a celebrity who y'all love to obsess over and objectify on a daily basis, to do it?
ppl who understand the harm that this creates for fans in marginalized communities can scream it at the rooftops to y'all, but y'all will literally plug y'alls ears and keep spending y'all money, writing them fanfics, and posting about every single thing that he does bcuz y'all can't distance y'allselves for even a fucking minute. pls pick up the phone bcuz the call is coming from inside the house, pookie.
