I read a fanfic in which Mario was trans and he chose Mario as his name because it was his last name just to troll people. It's been canon in my head ever since.

This is the fanfic btw: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46448596/

I scrolled through the notes on this post and my favorite has to be one mockingly accusing Madeline Miller (a Latin and Greek teacher with a Masters in Classics) of needing to do research and she wasn’t a real writer like them.

Anyway when I read that line I immediately understood what she was trying to say.

True Colors

Archaeologist Vinzenz Brinkmann insists his eye-popping reproductions of ancient Greek sculptures are right on target

Can we hope to understand how the Greeks saw their world? | Aeon Essays

The Greek colour experience was made of movement and shimmer. Can we ever glimpse what they saw when gazing out to sea?

In February of 2018, the BBC broadcast an eight-part miniseries, Troy: Fall of a City, that told the story of the Trojan War. Netflix later

Honestly, the first time I saw this tweet, I laughed my tits straight into the ocean.

I know what ‘olive skinned’ (and thus variations on it) means, but the author taking the time to have a little laugh, acknowledge that it’s at least a bit funny, and drop some knowledge is appreciated.

And a double thanks to the person I reblogged from for linking the articles.

The thread is perfect as it is, but just in case

Left: traditional extraction using a capacho basket, right modern extraction using a cold press. One is greenish brown and the other is green.

In case you want to see what the author meant about that not beeing what she saw.

ghost trick is an amazing game with exceptional writing, featuring a masterpiece of a villain who puppets every character from the background with manipulative powers like no other, and whose sinister plan is completely unraveled because he stood too close to a dog once

the problem with a lot of the conversations around monogamy i see is so much of it is about whether or not your partner should fuck other people and i think that's ultimately a super personal decision but the real problem with the monogamic ideal of relationships that so many of us internalize is that one person is supposed to fill every gap in your life and be able to do everything with you and be everything you need and like. that's bad for everyone involved

i wasn't expecting amphibia to give me back a little bit of creative spark, but i burned through the whole thing in two weeks and now i have a frog-shaped hole in my heart

i thought i may as well take a look at it since i've been going back through the western cartoon catalog to catch up/watch stuff contiguously and now i've bought the art book

it's seriously so interesting how it and the owl house come from the exact same cultural context but engage with it so differently; i've still gotta finish the latter, but i could write a whole essay on how amphibia filters its setting escapism through its life and dynamism while toh focuses on wonder and fascination

anne's character design is seriously the best to ever exist
