From the book Cut these words into my stone: ancient Greek epitaphs (Wolfe, Michael)
"this is unbecoming of me" is genuinely a useful thing to have in your mental toolbox
I just found this image and words cannot describe how much I love it. I don’t know where it’s from, but it looks like he’s having a jolly time
modern medieval fantasies don't have enough weasel-based necromancy
Please elaborate on this topic at length
i think i've made my position clear
anyway here are some medieval discussions of weasels and their necromantic abilities:
gerald of wales: The weasel also, when its young are dying from any hurt, recovers and restores them to life by the use of a yellow flower. We are told by persons who have witnessed the fact, having put the whelp to death to make the experiment, that the weasel brought the flower in its mouth, and first applied it to the wound, and then to the mouth, nostrils, and other orifices of the little animal, that it might inhale the odor, by which, through the efficacious touch of the plant, breath was restored, though life seemed extinct, some slight and imperceptible vestiges of it only having remained.
aberdeen bestiary: it is said, also, that they are skilled in healing, so that if by chance their young are killed, and their parents succeed in finding them, they can bring their offspring back to life.
thomas of cantimpré: Accordingly they are said to be expert in all the arts of medicine, so that, if they find their offspring dead, they make them naturally recuperate by means of a herb
also in marie de france's lai eliduc, guildeluec uses a flower she got from a weasel that was resurrecting its weasel friend to resurrect guilliadon
conclusion:
behold, a necromancer

i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"
diegetic as fuck in the club

chose a hill but i won't die on it. feel free to come and be killed on my hill
me: truly a well crafted tragedy is such a bittersweet pleasure to take in and serves a purpose, not just as a sad story but as a reminder that even that which ends badly might not have happened in vain or for nothing. The love, the grief, the actions still meant something simply for having taken place and for us partaking in it.
me when said tragedy is about to actually unfold, sweating: ok but consider this. i dont want this to happen
Feeling lucky? This Ephemera Friday, we come to you with a lottery ad that doubles as a visual puzzle.
This chaotic little broadside is told through pictograms. Instead of long blocks of text, it uses small engraved images (cats, coins, eyes, shoes, trees, jugs, dice) to visually “spell out” its message: take a small risk, buy a ticket, and maybe fortune will smile on you. Or at least that’s the promise.
