I love love love Böcklin’s mythical pieces, they have this sense of realism, and often even sensitivity.

I love that this was a subject he apparently went to multiple times. Centaurs in perfectly mundane situations.

He doesn't have an explanation for this other than the fact that it's cool. And honestly, that's a pretty compelling argument

as a chemist i would like to say BWAHAHAHAHAHA

um. i think that will make an even awkwarder silence

I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

Human 2: (panicking but in too deep to stop now) God.

The reason for this was that if you lived in an agrarian society then your survival was a throw of the dice every year, depending on the success of the crops. A failed crop year is a very hard year where deaths are expected. And if you grew a cereal like wheat, there were several things that could cause your crops to fail, but one of the big ones was if you happened to get a fuckton of aphids. You know what eats aphids? Ladybugs! If there are lots and lots of ladybugs around, there was a good chance that it’d be a good crop year! They were little crop protectors! When your family lives or dies on the success of that crop, of course they’d be seen as a blessing and given an appropriate name!

And entomology too i guess

Not even a cow, it’s just a little Creature but we know for sure God loves it.
