babytardis faultofrivia maxgayfield woah i dugged further and there's more of those homoerotic Renaissance sketches! he is TOTES BANGING THE ARTIST AND THE BEARDED DUDE lemmeslyther-in can't believe i'll never be as valid as this man whoframedkonstantinvasiliev what if the bearded guy IS the artist and we've been, like, impugning his honor or something lemmeslyther-in WHY would he draw himself with his husband ??? whoframedkonstantinvasiliev cause photography wasn't a thing? Anyway drawing yourself into a portrait with your husband is a lot healthier than, like, drawing yourself as a severed head like some other artists I could mention Source: maxgayfield #immortal husbands#those malta lads be banging#caravaggio dunking 78 notes

caravaggihoe Internet, please enjoy this post for as long as it exists: So today I was sitting at an outdoor cafe, breathing the free air, etc, when this group sat down a couple tables away. One guy and two women. I’m side-eying them because people in this area are Not Distancing and we hate to see it!!! But then they start talking about a dishwasher or something and i decide to believe that they live together so that i can calm the fuck down, but i’m still watching when another guy comes out with their food and they all take off their masks.

And for a second i was like, why do they look so familiar, and then the guy with the food turns to talk to the other man who had this curly black hair and i SHIT you not, they’re dead fucking ringers for the *mmort*l h*sb*nds. And I was like, ha ha that’s weird, I’ve clearly been staring at those pictures for too long, when one of the women leans forward and i swear, I swear, she looked like the drawing of one of the women. You know, the one who was also in that American painting that twitter found? Except now she has kind of an I Want To Talk To The Manager haircut, but in a hot way. I digress. (The other women with them was Black, not Asian, which is like the only thing that kept me from losing my whole damn mind in public)

So obviously I stare really really hard at my food and eavesdrop because… idk, it’s been a long time since i’ve been around people. Anyway one of the men says something in Italian, and at that point I just give up and start outright gawking and trying to figure out if it would be super weird to ask for a picture. I decided it would probably be, in fact, super weird, when Manager Haircut turns and looks at me, bc clearly she caught me spying, so like a genius I say, “uh, are any of you into art history?”

And they all look at each other like, who is this fucking weirdo, and finally the Black woman is like, “Yes?” so I apologize for being weird and explain that this is the funniest thing that’s happened to me since lockdown started and explain about the Malta drawings and how they have an uncanny resemblance. And it turns out this woman actually is pretty into art history because she chatted with me for a few minutes while the rest of her friends were clearly like… just wanting to eat their food

Anyway eventually she asked if she could see the pictures-- i had photos of the print-outs on my phone, but not in my iCloud, as an ~experiment~, but obviously i can’t actually hand her my cellphone In These Uncertain Times so i was like, I guess I can airdrop you? Because i felt like i owed them something for crashing their lunch.

(At this point one of the guys legit looked up at the sky like something was actually going to drop. adorable.)

So I airdrop and the woman looks at the picture and sort of holds it up and goes “wow, it does look like you two,” and they both nod along, and she says something like, “ha ha if you were really alive during the renaissance wouldn’t it have been very shortsighted to draw each other and leave the evidence for someone to find,” and then the other woman was like “yeah that would have been really dumb” and they all started yelling at each other in Italian. #omg i've seen#the you know whom#from you noe where#in the flesh 3,420 notes
