Come to bed, darling.

This morning, I saw the butcher slice into a slab of meat. Flayed open, visceral and bloody, dripping out, I thought of us. You were made for knives, after all.

Were you aware that thieves get their hands cut off?

Come to bed, you told me. Come to bed and we’ll make kingdoms from each other, you told me.

Shaky moans and empires built through sin. Look at yourself. The killer of giants taken apart by this: skin.

Little butcher boy should have sawed through my ribs, past the curve of my breasts, and you’d have found nothing. Just a cage holding a monster that hungered.

Imagine this: the intimacy of betrayal, the sex appeal of a traitor, the inherent romance between a man and a carcass.

Come to bed, darling.

Disney Princes Reimagined As Real Men

Melbourne based Finnish artist and designer Jirka Väätäinen (Disney Princesses previously featured here) reincarnates Disney Princes into real people. The imaginative characters are transformed into their flesh counterparts with his highly realistic illustrations. Staying true to the characters, their expressions and iconic features, the artist’s lifelike interpretations of the Disney characters find the perfect balance between the classically handsome and comical figures.
