A French Artist dressed classical sculptures as hipsters and this is how they turned out
Note: The models of the sculptures were used for the project not the real ones.

because criticism is bad for you
because criticism never helped anyone improve on their writing
because criticism didn’t make a writer reconsider their stories and strive to be a better storyteller than what they started out as
because writers who don’t listen to criticism but shoot it down (be it constructive or not) clearly care more about the quality of their writing than they do about getting their ego stroked
==> sarcasm aside, because you are AN ASSHOLE: most people who are creative (writers, artists, musicians, etc.) have egos but guess what, if you live in a bubble without any criticism ever reaching you, you are not going to have it that easy questioning your own work and you will find improvement is a slow and harrowing process
or what’s worse, you will lose perspective and start thinking that improvement isn’t necessary and believe me
there is always room for improvement
always
in everything (especially when it comes to your writing, Steven Moffat)
and criticism is there because people are capable of rational, analytical thought and just as you express your thoughts by writing, painting or making music, other people express theirs by criticising your work
who THE FUCK are you to tell people what not to think
a book belongs to its reader, a movie to its audience, a work of art to its viewer
drops the mic and ollies out
^^THIS^^
Nothing makes me angrier, as a writer, than what he said about getting criticism. Not a damn thing.
UGH Moffat. I am of the opinion that the job of a writer is to operate as a conduit through which the stories and voices of people can be heard through. This requires listening, compassion and the ability to empathise with others, as well as acknowledging that you yourself will ALWAYS have something to learn, that there will always be room for improvement.
Moffat’s refusal to listen to criticism, even the constructive kind, (which, lets be fair, is VITAL in writing) shows incredible arrogance. He seems to think that is writing is just so damn good that it is beyond critical analysis, he thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything, or at the very least that his experiences and world views are transferable to every character. This of course is bullshit and a terrible way to go about writing. It alienates large swathes of the audience. And until he accepts that he still has, and always will have, something new to learn we will continue to see the same narrow stereotypes appear in his work. And I both as a writer and consumer of media will continue to make the ¬_¬ face everytime he speaks.

My body is not shameful
Just because you’re uncomfortable doesn’t mean you have to make me feel bad that I’m not
I normally wouldn’t reblog real boobs, but this is a good message.
Love this and will always reblog
A man bares his chest and it’s totally ok, sexy or not. A woman bares hers and SHAME ON YOU YOU ATTENTION SEEKING SLUT.

A dramatic Shakespearean response to every situation
- When something bad happens: True is it that we have seen better days.
- When something REALLY bad happens: O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day! Most lamentable day. Most woeful day That ever, ever I did yet behold! O day, O day, O day! O hateful day! Never was seen so black a day as this.O woeful day! O woeful day!
- When people say that something is wrong because the Bible says so: The Devil can cite scripture for his purpose.
- When my girlfriend abandons me for food: FRAILTY, THY NAME IS WOMAN!
- When someone doesn't thank me for holding the door open for them: BLOW, BLOW, BLOW, THOU WINTER WIND! THOU ART NOT SO UNKIND AS MAN'S INGRATITUDE!
- When I burn something while cooking: MY CAKE IS DOUGH!
- When human stupidity frustrates me: LORD, WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE!
- When someone says I'm going to hell for my sins: NYMPH, IN THY ORISONS BE ALL MY SINS REMEMBER'D.
- When I'm broke: My pride fell with my fortunes
- When someone turns the light on after a period of darkness and blinding light ensues: OH, SHE DOTH TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN BRIGHT!
- When someone disagrees with me: THERE ARE MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, HORATIO, THEN ARE DREAMT OF IN YOUR PHILOSOPHY.
- When I argue with my girlfriend: The course of true love never did run smooth.
- When I'm embarrassed: MUST I HOLD A CANDLE TO MY SHAMES?!
- Someone says "Good Night": Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
