Make sure to leave your questions for our Post Mortem episode down below!
Tons of kids leave school at 16 and do apprenticeships where I live in Scotland
Y’all should do the mysterious disappearance of all of James Charles subscribers
Ok idk if this makes sense but like could he have propped the gun on his easel and with a piece of string pulled the trigger??Whilst the gun was pulled by the string it fell off the easel aiming the bullet in an odd place and therefore the gun landing on the floor in an unknown place which Vincent couldn’t find??
I always thought that he died by bleeding to death after he cut off his ear.
How have you got made a video on Robert Johnson yet
The boys are back
why don't you gyz cover the death of marilyn monroe
What if his brother killed him bec he wanted all the money he knew would come from Vinnys paintings considering he was trying to start a new business
Fuk the music
Yeah apprenticeships are mostly taken by people under 20 because they're paid really badly and, in the UK at least, they're counted as a kind of education so you don't have to stick around forsixth form
Edit: Van Gogh didn't paint those amazing things because he was mentally ill, he painted them cause he was recovering and getting meds/therapy
Anyone gonna talk about the mannequin behind shane?
Why does the thumbnail look like Benedict Cumberbatch
Y'ALL SHOULD DO KURT COBAIN
I feel like Phoenix Wright while watching these.
loving that wheeze mug
O my god. Just as I think i cant have more compassion toward vincent
“This week on Buzzfeed Unsolved, we’ll discuss about the miserable disappearance of James Charles’s career.”
Didn’t he cut his ear for Gauguin?
I know the story about the prostitute is interesting, but I believe he cut off his ear because he got into a fight with one of his only friend. The friend made the remark that Vincent never listened and so he cut off his ear to show that he would listen now. I think this is a lot sadder, but I believe this is the true story.
Edgar Allen Poe next?
what if vincent was teaching rene to shoot a gun then rene accedentaly shoots vincent
In a book about Vincent's life that I read, it stated that he cut his ear while he was having an episode. He had very violent episodes and one time, his cousin had to fight him off when Vincent was waving around a knife.
It was an accident. I don't know if he DID give the ear to a sex worker afterwards tho.
this episode came out the day of my apush exam and for that sad reason i was fated to miss this episode until now
What was left out is Gogh wanted to poison himself (based off his physician’s medical reports). Paint and turpentine
they manage to make literally anything creepy as hell
Can you please cover the Toyah murder in cairns, Australia?? Its still unsolved!
the real crime here is how they butcher the GOGH pronunciation
bro y’all should check out that forest in indonesia
the way they pronounced gogh…
So I’m seeing comments about James Charles and Tati drama while buzz feed talks about this there basically the same both of the artists carriers ended
Working in the fine art market, it always a great thing to see the names of Old Masters embedded into popular culture! This man truly was one of the worlds greatest treasures. He lived such a misery-filled life that its not surprising he took the route he did. Since his death, most of his works have gone upwards of 40 million dollars, which I have no words for/
Whatever music that was playing in the background around the time 11:00 was really stressing me out. I don't know why but it was like the back of my brain was silently freaking out.
