shoutout to the dude who put together an entire website about recreating literally every single part of blondie’s outfit and rating literally every possible replica he could find as a favor for cosplayers

I want to take the ears off!

not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don't think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to

almost peed my pants today when my bf told me about this dude in his hometown who dressed up like ryan gosling in Drive every day (including driving gloves) but did not own a car. bf was like “yeah we called him Walk”

current state of the internet is a FUCKING EMBARASSMENT. was chatting with my grandma bout the history of crochet and knitting (and the comparative ages of those respective technologies) and i was like "oh YEAH and also that ancient greek fiber art we partly figured out from chemically testing the scoured bleached pigments of stolen statuary (tumblr knows what im talking about)—gimme 30 seconds to look up the name."

5 minutes and 3 search-engines later i am crying tears of blood screaming spitting blubbering in despair as my grandma attempts to digitally pat me consolingly on the back. the library of alexandria didn't burn it was "restructured" to "increase shareholder profits"

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and i STILL CANNOT FIND THE TERM.

i am scouring the internet like the victorians scoured and destroyed all trace of joy and color from stolen relics for the LOST NAME OF THE ANCIENT PROCESS of textile-creation akin to knitting/crocheting/nålebinding that at least one academic/crafter used to recreate the leggings on this Glorious Motherfucker:

the google execs erased it. they bleached my bestie AGAIN from history...

[lachrymose-lyricist]

is this of any use

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

SO IT IS!!!

Archer statue from the Temple of Aphaia (ca. 480 BC) next to a reconstruction of its original paint job:

The leggings and sleeves would have created using a method called SPRANG which predates knitting and is over 3,000 years old. What's even sexier is modern artisans managed to recreate the entire outfit using the original method!

Mmm-HMM, love me a shapely thigh in harlequin hosiery. Put👏men👏in👏clingy-ass👏clothing👏again👏👏👏

Unfortunately english sources are hard to find, partly because Google's a shithole, but also because this textile project comes from a German museum, in Germany, where people tend to speak (and publish) in German. That said, the original link is to a short-but-sweet article I would have had no problem finding in 30 seconds a mere few years ago. fortunately i have clever beautiful insane people following me, but alas not everyone has such luxury. thanks to everyone in the notes who shoved themselves down this rabbithole with me!

in conclusion let us take a moment to sincerely wish Google a very burn in hell🙏

Basically what I'm getting from the present "giving 100% at work" Tumblr discourse is that a lot of people have fairly narrow notions of what blue-collar versus white-collar jobs actually entail. There are in fact manual labour jobs where a significant chunk of your average work day consists of Fucking Around, and conversely, there are desk jobs where you crunch eighty-hour weeks for years on end until you suddenly drop dead from heart failure at age 32. It's absolutely true that you're more likely to end up in a No Fucking Around Allowed situation in a blue-collar occupation, but you can't tell whether or not someone is in that position based purely on whether or not they work in an office. Shit, call centre workers are white collar on paper, and the kind of fuckery a lot of call centre workers are subjected to involves genuine human rights violations.

IF YOU SEE ANY PAINTING BY "EMILE CORSI" ON HERE, DO NOT REBLOG IT THINKING IT'S REAL AND FROM THE 1800s. IT IS AI-GENERATED AND EMILE CORSI IS NOT A HISTORICAL FIGURE

examples:

And if you love the vibes and wish you could find something similar painted by a real person, let me introduce you to John William Waterhouse, on whose work the AI was definitely trained:

I've been inspired by the fucked up eridians other people made (namely @kaiikaii's Tire, @vampirejuno's Coffy Table and @pineappical's Hardtack) Everyone meet Dent, I love him

This might be the most poorly drawn and stupidest thing I’ve ever posted

Freaks from the lovely minds of: @pineappical [hardtack], @vampirejuno [coffy table], @treesaplingtwig [dr.blair], @idiotjae [dent], and @lewadny [elvis]

I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

[yourdeargatsby]

i choose to believe that when they sent the hail mary off it had access to the internet up until they got so far away they couldn't ping even the furthest sateilleite, which means that Ryland has access to everything ever posted up until a certain point. He has twitter posts up until 11 days after they were launched, and he can play among us but only in servers alone. He can post on tumblr, but it's never going to be updated.

is it?

because they say in the movie that it'll take 11 years or so for communication with earth to happen, which means that if ryland grace starts tumblr blogging right after he wakes up, it could take anywhere from roughly 5-ish earth years for his posts to show up. (taking that tumblr posting takes a lot less internet than it does to have a phone call that's active and always updating).

Ryland Grace and Rocky could very much have a one way updating system to the people of earth by fucking with the internet

Damn,this fanfic shit easy as hell!
