I’m reblogging this 7-year-old comic of mine because, not only is it somehow still circulating, it just passed 400,000 notes??? Thank you, several hundred thousand internet strangers, for keepin’ this ol’ goat girl goin’ so long

(Also hi, I’m still making fairy-tale-flavored lesbian romance comics and have a new one coming out very soon…)

Wizards from a mystical land barely tethered to this reality wrote great spells in tomes called “cookbooks” that anyone can cast

nothing is more tumblr than having a tumblr sexyman wiki and then warn you to not find some of those men sexy because it's problematic

[sapphire--moonlight]

you all have to check out the rules if this wiki. theyre wild

Generally, you will be warned for breaking the rules a few times before you are banned. The first ban will likely be one week long, the seco

Throwing this one out as a fave. Didnt realize Animal Crossing was porn.

They also have a classification system aped from scp including a tier for character who nobody thinks are sexy. unsexy characters are allowed and if a character actually has sex thats too sexy for the sexman wiki

Ooh this just popped into my head and thought it might be a fun ask if you have a random moment to kill! What's a font/typography fact that you found recently that made you go "oh that's dope/cool how they did that/super pretty/wild history"? Just one of those little things you weren't aware of before but made you happy to learn, as general or esoterically niche as you want. I figure you've probably stumbled across some interesting things in your studies and my dragon hoard is collecting people's fun little tidbits from the things they study for fun!

Futura (1927) [Daylight Fonts · Fonts In Use · Identifont] is one of my favorites out of the well-established sans serifs, but one thing that annoys me about it is how C and c have vertical terminals, while G and e have angled terminals.

Besides being internally inconsistent, I find the vertical terminals ugly. (I dislike Antique Olive (1962) [Daylight Fonts · Fonts In Use · Identifont] for the same reason, but at least it uses its vertical terminals consistently.)

I recently learned the reason for this (from the book Paul Renner: The Art of Typography): Futura was designed first and foremost for writing German. In German the letter c only occurs before h and k, and in traditional German blackletter typography, ch and ck are obligatory, inseparable ligatures.

Futura doesn't have joined ch/ck ligatures, but ch and ck were still cast on a single piece of metal, with a smaller gap between the c and h/k than between other letters. The vertical terminal on the c was necessary to allow these letters to be placed so close together.

If Futura had been designed in a non-German-speaking country, the C would probably look different. Yet the German design was used and continues to be used all over the world (though usually with a normal-sized gap between the c and the h/k).
