Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
I get what you are saying and you are right, but this one is a really good exception because it sounds like rennaisance poetry/drama, nothing to do with visuals.
Photography is art.
Goliath is from the dark ages and Xanatos is contemporary. Totally not an accidental renaissance!
Grotesque architecture has some roots in the Renaissance period, so that’s why I thought this post fits here
Do you think God stays in heaven because He too lives in fear of what He's created?

Xanatos is the villain Elon wishes he was. Isn't even playing multiple gambits simultaneously. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit
Gargoyles was soooo good. I watched it for the first time this year and I'm 38. It was just... insanely good.
there were a few animated shows from back then that were aimed at children but didn't talk down to them.
x-men was like this also. some things were simplified, but characters were allowed to have complex feelings, motivations and relationships. that speaks to children way more than those tacked-on "and here's today's lesson, kids" sections ever did.
more importantly it stood with them too. I've watched the x-men finale several times since my childhood, and as an adult it still makes me cry. literally every time I watch it, despite knowing what's coming.
They said “Hell” on the Disney Afternoon! You know this show was going to be good.
Some have said that war is Hell. War is not Hell... for in Hell, innocence is spared.

More like Hawkeye in MASH
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Um, sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
👉 Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
👉 Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
👉 Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
👉 The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
👉 NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
📸 If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
👩🦯 Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.
