Let's be clear: Eyedropper doesn't revel in others' misfortune. Well, it doesn't exclusively do that. Anyway, these images come by way of cultural historian AB with a bit of back story, so gather in close.




In the mythical village of Santa Fe, a fair maiden was wooed by a handsome prince. They lived in bliss among the giant butterflies, kind dragons and tourists searching for "natives." But as some romances are wont to do, this one went sour and south and the fair maiden told the handsome prince to GTFO.

Battered and broken, the prince scrawled on the curb outside the maiden's castle these few poignant words: "Ow My Heart." The maiden was like, "Whatevs."
