Honestly? Shoutout to those of you who are completely fucking lost in life. Those who don’t know what they want to do with life. Those who are stuck in a certain part of life and can’t get out. Those who are reaching for dreams they feel are impossible to reach. Those who feel like they’re accomplishments are being overlooked. Those who feel like their enough just isn’t enough. It is. You can make it. You will make it. There is an opening at the end of the tunnel.
First off, this is hilarious, but secondly, the artist’s name is Bill Flowers and he literally goes by The Snake Artist because he just does a bunch of paintings like this.
He’s also apparently a “venomous snake wrangler.” He’s Australian, which I feel explains a lot.

“Kukeri is an ancient pagan ritual practiced annually across the Balkan mountain regions where local men wear carved wooden masks of beasts’ faces and hang heavy bells around their waists as they perform arcane dances,” says London-based photographer Aron Klein. The Kukeri Project is Aron’s magical and dreamlike series that consists of hypnotic images of large men in carnivalesque costumes, posing menacingly in the wintry Bulgarian mountains.
In Russian we don’t say “you’re too full of yourself, doing this unpleasant thing won’t hurt your dignity”, we say “корона с головы не упадёт”, which translates to “your crown won’t fall off your head”, and I think that’s pretty neat
this is so amazing cause we have something similar thing in hungarian? we don’t say the crown thing, we say “az aranygyűrű nem esik le az ujjadról” which translates to “the golden ring won’t fall off your finger”
In Germany we also refer to a crown. We say “Da bricht dir kein Zacken aus der Krone” which roughly translates to “It won’t break off a prong of your crown”.
