#so shhhh we’re going to pretend that this is a music video about angels #and I’m going to go into raptures about how this is the absolute best design for an angel I’ve ever fucking seen #between the bird-like nose and the animalistic glint in the eyes #the white markings on the skin #it’s this flawless mix of allusions to inhumanity and esotericism #I mean the music video is nice too #but it would have been better if it had been ANGELS IN AN APOCALYPIC WASTELAND (notbecauseofvictories)
#my weakness for vicious utterly alien representations of divinity #from wild messiahs who are monsters #to this; to angels who are beyond bestial because they are beyond being of this earth #who have minds beyond our conception of minds; exploding atoms of light and grace held inside vessels that obey no natural laws #who play with their own flesh with knives and paint and teeth and see only through angles and abysses #and snarl in your face and lick your graceless bodies and play with matter in excruciating and terrible ways (via)
