oh man this week's episode is about NOAH'S ARK so we get ONE CHANCE* (*actually two) to pick our FAVOURITE WORK OF ART DEPICTING IT!

what is everyone's pick

i love that noah's ark is ubiquitously The One We Tell To Children bc it is full of cute animals and a big boat and a rainbow and the

apocalyptic mass extinction of life on earth

this artist remembered that there are boy-chickens and girl-chickens but let their guard down with the lions i fear

the error is...systemic to the genre it seems

this one feels like an overcorrection

more gay lions

here we see: additional gay lions

love the raccoon representation! and the gay lions

this one is just charming and i just unironically like it?

wait why would he bring whales

whoops! gay lions

these lions are in fact visually distinct, but i think the male is still gay....

feel like this lion is gay, but also that the artist did not quite understand what this story was about, and also that possibly the ark was some kind of thunderdome combat arena situation

is that what pokemon is

whoops you fucked up baby's first christian christmas and gave him gay lions

finley is gay now

wow is this why Henry James is so gay

without this playlet we wouldn't have Olivia deHavilland in WASHINGTON SQUARE i have to stan

it's even a problem in renaissance art, except we have the usual..............is-that-a-lion problems endemic to the period daily.jstor.org/why-are-mediev…

lesbian cows, gay lions, masc-presenting peacock pairs, and herds of unicorns - i think what we've learned is that when Christians whine that we "stole the rainbow" from them, we should remind them that their art of the Noah story has always been queer as heck

Happy #Pride!
