Ricki Yasha TarrWhen I was little, someone showed me the painting Where The Bears Picnic aka The Bear Dance, and I had so much FOMO, that animals were having secret parties I wasn't invited to.
Share a piece of art that had an effect on you as a small child too!
Carrie Shanafelt@RickiTarr In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the youngest girl Lucy gets into Narnia and is immediately met by queer icon Mr. Tumnus, who lives alone, reads a lot, and knows how to make perfect little tea snacks, and tells stories about his favorite orgies and plays his recorder, and I'm pretty sure this illustration made me 30% gayer than I would have been otherwise. I know he's trying to sell her to the White Witch, but you know this is how he is with everyone he picks up in the woods.
@RickiTarr I am pretty sure I give off Mr. Tumnus vibes, finally, at 46. Look at me being very socially appropriate and agreeable, please, but understand this is a choice I am making!
Steve GisselbrechtI have been compared to Mr. Tumnus nonironically and I am proud of this. (It's the cakes, mostly.)
@carrideen I REMEMBER THIS! It's so cozy
Nazo@carrideen @RickiTarr It has been a long long long time since I read those books, so I had forgotten most of this stuff. Given the very unsubtle religious parallels in general in those books I wonder what C.S. Lewis was trying to do with this then.
