La Belle Dame sans Merci @capt-shiny - Tumblr Blog

my working theory is that everyone who said they would leave tumblr after they banned porn really did leave for twitter and thats why tumblr has somehow gotten more bearable and twitter is now just. like that.

to clarify, this isn’t even about porn. its about how the site saw a mass exodus of people after they banned porn and then takes like “himbo is ableist” ended up being twitter originals instead

Psychologically torturing redditors by explaining how elon musk will never send them to mars and they'll have to stay on earth and deal with earth problems for the rest of their life

Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.

star wars is a multibillion dollar franchise, the lord of the rings trilogy won 17 oscars, harry potter has 7 bestselling books + 10 movies and a theme park, the mcu is still massively popular 30 wildly interconnected movies later, game of thrones was the biggest show in the world for a decade, and we’ve had 50 years of star trek with how many reboots and spinoffs exactly??

movies where a creature of another species with a love for good food meets a mess of a human down on his luck living in a shitty apartment and the creature can control the guy’s action and he’s unwilling at first but they learn to cooperate and together they can stop the evil rich man trying to take them down

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

ineptshieldmaid

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
