The Dark Emporium of Earthly Delights

Elyza

So apparently there are actually people that look like this.

I’m thinking Jackson’s casting agents should abduct her, teach her English… Elven, and then recast Galadriel.

“Heirloom” Pop-Up Art Book by Alison Ann Woodward unfolds piece by piece to reveal the anatomy of a white horned creature.

the cat that just casually fucking hiccuped and probably summoned the dark lord

Fucking sobbing- just watch every kitten separately at least ONCE. It just gets funnier and funnier with every time it loops.

Awe the one in the back that gets confused and doesn’t know where to go oh my god

Omg i watched every kitten that disappeared and every time i laugh more„,

This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera’s career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.

Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.”

Lightning Ridge Black Opal - Twin Galaxy Gem Stones

Aside from Grey and White, Black Opal is the most precious and is at least 50 times more rare than diamond, yet these beautiful gems are also much more fragile than diamond.

The brilliant colors within the gems are iridescent,  meaning that they will change color or flash as you rotate them. Deep down within the opal are silica spheres arranged in arrays and both the size and organized arrangement of the spheres will determine the color produced. The Twin Galaxy Stones will flash like lightning as you rotate them, hence the name Lightning Ridge in Australia.

THIS IS THE UNIVERSE IN A ROCK

Holy shit! These are so much better than some of the generic, over-priced, over-marketed crap from Tiffany’s.
