My Wife’s Lovers, 1891, Carl Kahler

God I hope I am immortalised by my husband for having 40 cats

Fun facts:

  • It cost $5,000 in 1888 to have this painting made, which is more than $120,000 in today’s money.
  • I say 1888 because it took three years for Kahler to complete, reportedly because he spent most of the time studying and sketching each cat to get a feel for their personality.
  • It was painted for Kate Johnson, the title was her husband’s idea though, proving him the most patient and good-humored husband in the history of crazy cat ladies.
  • Speaking of cat ladies, the picture actually contains 42 cats. Or more specifically, Mrs. Johnson’s 42 most favorite cats. She had 350 in total.
  • It sold at auction via Sotheby’s a few days ago for over $800,000 dollars, vastly more than its $200,000-$300,000 estimate.
  • The buyer is a private collector in California.
  • Probably someone who really, really likes cats.
  • I mean, really likes cats.

I love that every cat in this picture has a name i dont know. In fact, a name i will never know. Each was loved dearly by someone who knew their names. And now they are immortalised in this painting. Its just so lovely

I have seen this painting in person and let me tell you, until you see it you have no idea how much detail is in this son of a bitch. The moths look ready to fly off the canvas away from the kittens.

couldn’t end this scene without a kiss in the rain

read from the beginning / read on tapas / my art blog / my personal blog (come talk to me!) / heartstopper merch / read the next update early on Patreon!

Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…?

Nick and Charlie are characters from my debut novel, Solitaire. Heartstopper updates three times a month, on the 1st, 11th, and 21st.

THE M-FILES by CelticBotan | WALKTHROUGH VIDEO

Then little 12 year old Mulder and Scully grew up in the HP!Alternative Universe and became Special Aurors working at the Department of Mysteries (or the Unspeakables, as they are also called), studying and solving cases related to the Chambers in there – Time, Space, Love, Death, Thought, etc.  They investigate bizarre (even for magical world) cases involving magical and mythical creatures, misuse of Amortentia and Time Turners, cases involving mind controling and Potion Polyjuice (like the Bart Jr/Moody case, for example) etc and, of course, events of close encounters in the wizard world (because they totally happen in my opinion, but maybe wizards see them as just another kind of magical, sentient creatures…? hmmm.)

Besides being a Special Auror, Scully is also a Healer who worked at St Mungus for a couple of years before she joined the Ministry of Magic – some say, to debunk some of Mulder’s “nosensical theories”, including that one of Voldemort was raising again and the Ministry was hiding it / pretending it was only something out of the troubled mind of that boy, Potter. 

(**EDIT** SO, I am adding all the fanarts I make and all the headcanons I answer from people’s asks and tags down the cut into this first post so everyone can see all of my fangirling musins about this AU!)

(EDIT 2.0: Animated it in a gif because why not – you can see the gif on its full size HERE!)
