It’s a baby sloth.
Yes. A sloth.
And it smiles as if EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS ALRIGHT. AAA.
I’m a Sloth!
Do you know why I move so slowly that even algae and mold can grow on me?
It’s because some of the leaves I eat are poisonous! 8D
Did you know I can also swim?
Despite my low mileage, I’m quite good at voiding predators! I blend in and scare them away with my murder claws!
My nickname is The Flash. I can move thirteen feet an hour!
I only have to use the bathroom once a week!
I sleep up to 18 hrs a day, JUST LIKE YOU!
BELIEVE IT! 8D
AWWWW
Baby Sloth! ;w; It’s so cute.

Now this is remarkable.
I hope you, too, thought this was a picture of actual human beings. The fingers that slightly indent the flesh of a woman. Looks normal. but it should not. It is a 400 year old sculpture - marble - that is a fucking hard material.
Contemporaries used to describe the way Bernini worked as “raping marble” because he could do things to it, others were not even able to think of.
Another sculpture of his “Apollo and Daphne” is just as remarkable because he managed to sculpt leaves that were so thin they became translucent. Remember we are talking about stone here.
Bernini Sculpture: Pluto and Proserpina (1621-22)
nevernotreblog this beautiful sculpture
GODDAMN WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT AND MAGICK
SORCERRRYYY!!!!!
Bernini was a fucking genius.
So amazingggg.
