When I was little, someone showed me the painting Where The Bears Picnic aka The Bear Dance, and I had so much FOMO, that animals were having secret parties I wasn't invited to.

@RickiTarr I had quite an art-free childhood, sadly, but I suppose I started feeling some kind of hiraeth when I came across Tolkien's illustrations to The Hobbit, then the maps in LOTR, and then BANG Jimmy Cauty’s posters, which still give me shivers, and might be in my mum's attic, we'll see.
@RickiTarr In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the youngest girl Lucy gets into Narnia and is immediately met by queer icon Mr. Tumnus, who lives alone, reads a lot, and knows how to make perfect little tea snacks, and tells stories about his favorite orgies and plays his recorder, and I'm pretty sure this illustration made me 30% gayer than I would have been otherwise. I know he's trying to sell her to the White Witch, but you know this is how he is with everyone he picks up in the woods.
The Voice of the Winds, by Rene Magritte. It has a very heavy sci-fi feel to it. I was mesmerized.
