Me and the other prehistoric caveboys following a mammoth for three days straight without stopping, knowing that big furry bitch’s endurance is running thin

lines from the epic of gilgamesh that make me feel like this

[chotomy]

“You will take him in your arms, embrace and caress him the way a man caresses his wife. He will be your double, your second self.”

“‘Gilgamesh, save me, save me!’ I cried. But you didn’t save me. You were afraid and you didn’t come.”

“You who have walked beside me, steadfast through so many dangers, remember me, never forget what I have endured.”

“But I cannot see you, you have not come to fight off this danger. Yet weren’t we to remain forever inseparable, you and I?”

“Beloved, wait, don’t leave me. Dearest of men, don’t die, don’t let them take you from me.”

“I will mourn as long as I breathe, I will sob for him like a woman who has lost her only child.”

“For six days I would not let him be buried, thinking, ‘If my grief is violent enough, perhaps he will come back to life again.’“

“I will cross the vast ocean if I can. If not, I will roam the wilderness in my grief.”

“Now let the gate of sorrow be closed behind me, let it be sealed shut with tar and pitch.”

“I imagined that you would look like a god. But you look like me, you are not any different.”

all articles about tumblr’s “decline” boil down to 2 things: you can’t get famous on here and you can’t make money on here. And they don’t get that that’s why we like it here.

[transarsonist]

Au contraire! You can absolutely get famous here

It is however, explicitly a bad thing.

if we lost Tolkien’s notes future historians would undoubtedly argue that he is merely a composite figure representing an oral tradition that stretched across centuries, with changes in prose style showing obvious interpolations by multiple authors.

[argumate]

firebendinglemur said: Tolkien himself would undoutably argue this if he thought he could get away with it

he and C. S. Lewis already larped it, and he pulls the same kind of textual analysis within the text itself talking about how the story evolved from Bilbo to Frodo and then copied and annotated by later scribes.

Fallout is fun because it’s supposed to be social commentary on society’s obsession with money, the damage caused by capitalism, the way that propaganda is woven into the fabric of our society, and the terrifying obsession we as Americans have with romanticizing our military and war in general. 

And now they’re selling shit like Memorial Day and army themed items in their microtransaction shop, which uses currency named after the most devastating weapon in human history.

Fallout has literally become a parody of itself. Incredible. Good job, Bethesda.

[nonbinary-hawke-deactivated2021]

Sorry to go back to this but the Atom Store is genuinely absurd to me.

One of the main themes throughout Fallout has been the terrifying obsession that people have with atomic bombs. It’s shown especially in pre-war things, with not only the songs (all real) but also the toys and games and decorations. Even the soda from the main games is named after nuclear warfare (Nuka Cola). This is explicitly shown to have been the result of propaganda, efforts on the part of the government to make nuclear weapons seem benign, even fun, and to normalize them to the public.

This is something that was done in real life too. You can see it in the media, especially the music, from the 40s to the 60s, where so many themes revolved around nuclear energy. Characters and singers talked about mining for uranium. Toys based off of nuclear bombs were advertised to children. Romanticized ideas of nuclear fallout were played in schools. There’s at least one song comparing the ticking of a Geiger counter to the beating of someone’s heart when they fall in love (Tic Tic Tic by Doris Day).

It’s all propaganda, and Fallout used those things to show the cruelty and greed of the government and the corporations who lied to and manipulated the public for their own gain.

And then Bethesda turned around and did the exact same thing in real life.

It sickens me. It genuinely sickens me. A game that was meant to call attention to military propaganda is now pushing that exact same propaganda to its users.

Fool that you are, you forget that you too are mortal. The elephant dies as surely as the ant, but one exists on a scale beyond the other’s comprehension. The ant can bite and sting for days, yet its greatest victory can only be to be noticed, and in being so, crushed beneath the magnitude of its foe’s attention. Do you dare draw their gaze and risk that fate?
