my name is caitlin. 25. i like being kind. i like weird music. i like shooting guns. i like talking into the void, which is the only reason why im still here.
im not even joking rn this fucking painting made me start uncontrollably sobbing. Do you know how long it took to paint? How expensive it was? The cat was content for hours and so loved that the girl held him there and paid for him to be painted with her. Imagine having such a bond… imagine being so loved and loving so much back…
Apparently this is almost a genre of painting. Its human nature to love and cradle cats …. And the bond these cats and their people have. To sit together for hours to get a painting to attempt to immortalize the love you two shared
Let me show you these charming paintings by a French artist Léon Comerre! I like to think these ladies were like “me and my kitty look so cute together, we must get a portrait made of us so that everyone knows how we love each other” 💕
(Also, having matching ribbons with your cat is the loveliest idea ever 🎀)
Meanwhile, I’m a fan of this Gainsborough, where, if you squint, you can see the outline of a furious cat who was not about to be in this portrait:
anyway if the state can get people thinking legal = good and illegal = bad–and keep their thoughts from straying too far from that–they can get people to accept the most horrifying shit. Good thing that’d never happen though right h a aa ha
trying to come to terms with the fact that i will always care more about people than they care about me and really i don’t mean very much to people when they mean the absolute world to me and i will live and die feeling this lonely and i truly can’t see the point when im always reaching out for others but no one ever thinks to reach out to me and hahhahaha of course my friends don’t want to spend time with someone so miserable they want to be around people who are happy and make them happy and i am just,,, not that
