"Oi hughie stop being a box we've gotta kill omelander"
The cards see all.
Okay but this unironically happened to me.
I had a quick street portrait done on a trip through Paris in my confused high school years. It didn't look remotely like me, and everyone else was confused, but I loved it for some reason.
Guess who started perfectly resembling that portrait a decade or so later?

the problem with movie remakes is that they always remake something that was already good, meaning at worst you ruin it and at best your remake is largely redundant. to make a truly good remake you need to start with source material that is absolute dogwater. ignore the pull of nostalgia. redeem the sins of moviemaking past.
okay??
my can of
this is such a desolate image i love it
So, there are two Civil War songs from the Union side, John Brown's Body and The Battle Hymn of the Republic, that use the same tune. I had always been under the impression that the Battle Hymn of the Republic was first and that the tune was subsequently used for John Brown's Body, but apparently it was the other way around, John Brown's Body came first and then the tune was used for the Battle Hymn of the Republic
Oooh I know this one, let me refresh my memory via wikipedia really fast. Okay, so the tune itself is predates both songs by a good deal, it seems to be an old folk hymn called "Say, Brothers will you Meet Us" that was pretty widespread by the 1850s via oral tradition and revivalist camp meetings. At some point it's chorus which had the line "We'll shout and give him Glory" mutated into "Glory, Glory Hallelujah". Anecdotally, "John Brown's Body" version came about from a group of union soldiers having fun with the fact that they had a Sergeant also named John Brown (No relation). To quote an account From George Kimball in 1890 "We had a jovial Scotchman in the battalion, named John Brown … and as he happened to bear the identical name of the old hero of Harper's Ferry, he became at once the butt of his comrades. If he made his appearance a few minutes late among the working squad, or was a little tardy in falling into the company line, he was sure to be greeted with such expressions as "Come, old fellow, you ought to be at it if you are going to help us free the slaves"; or, "This can't be John Brown—why, John Brown is dead." And then some wag would add, in a solemn, drawling tone, as if it were his purpose to give particular emphasis to the fact that John Brown was really, actually dead: "Yes, yes, poor old John Brown is dead; his body lies mouldering in the grave." These jokes were eventually set to the tune of "Say Brothers", producing the song "John Brown's Body", which spread through union ranks, but was considered somewhat course and unseemly. During the war, a woman named Julia Ward Howe heard soldiers singing the tune and decided to write new words to create a more dignified soldier's anthem, which became the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
the fact that you are californian explains a lot. sorry
As someone who professionally studies oddball spirituality, I think living in Los Angeles California is like if an entomologist got to live in Bugtopia. I feel at home here.
If a fantasy world has an ancient tree of wisdom, that means it must also have young trees that are dumb as shit. Just giving terrible advice like, "the evil wizard is kinda hot"'
@marlynnofmany
#that would be hilarious #you'd have to measure trees to make sure they knew what they were talking about
I can easily see this fantasy world having idioms like "Never take the advice of a tree that's small enough to hug."
(Also, I'll bet some of those young trees give bad advice on purpose, because entertainment is at a premium when you can't move around, and your morality system is very different from that of the meat creatures.) (What do trees know or care about the evil wizard's actual attractiveness? Sending him all these suitors is pretty funny though, so they're probably going to keep doing it.)
