imagine… Alma Deutscher: Finding Cinderella

Musical prodigy Alma Deutscher aged 11 (seen here with younger sister Helen), is staging her first full-length opera, Cinderella.

Composer, pianist, violinist… Alma learned to read music before she could read words. She began playing the piano aged two and at four years old she was composing her own music.

TIL of a thousand year old rosebush in Hildesheim Germany. It even survived world war two, despite the fact that the church it grows next to was destroyed by allied bombers.

#again an example of the absolute nihilism of plants that i love so much#this plant is completely unaware that its lived a thousand years#look theres a little plague in front of her!!! humans are so amazed by her age!!!!!!#but is she amazed by her age? no. #she knows only that she seeks nuntrient.#she is above our petty hominid conflicts and admiration#look at her vines coming off!!!! she is seeking more structures upon which to place her glucose manufacturing organs!!!!#she demands another trellis from her underlings!!!!!!!

3. This rosebush is probably a fixture in local bee religion.

I feel like a good few hundred tags on this are me haha, but I love it, she’s BEAUTIFUL

I remember seeing a various really good post about the visual references to american comicbook artist in My Hero Academia, like how Stain takes cues from the 90′s edgy anti-hero aesthetic or how the more exagerated mouth expressions are like those drawn by Todd Mcfarlane -especially Bakugo’s.

All that said I decided to specualte myself about what artists inspired All Might design, both the musclebound and the more scrawny version.

The heroic version of All Might has been compared to a Rob Liefeld character due to his absurd size but I think it looks more like how John Byrne drew Superman but with a way heavier inking.

Even his smile looks like an exagerated version of how Byrne drew Supes’ own.

As for his  more humble version, the dropped shoulders that seem to blend his neck and arms, the angular face and the simplistic mouth shape with square teeth remind me mostly of how Mike Mignola draws Hellboy.
