Spamton G. Spamton, commonly referred to as simply Spamton, was a culture hero and folk deity that rose to prominence in the earliest period of the American Century of Humiliation

Hey, don’t cry. Free online database of Japanese folk lore

[bleu-guacamole]

Might I add, free database of mostly European folklore and myths

[bogleech]

A Book of Creatures by @a-book-of-creatures doesn't update these days but is another thing along these lines, really huge, fully illustrated all by the author and cites all sources

[st-dionysus]

Free database of Native American folklore, sorted by tribe.

[saint-simulacrum]

Free online catalog of African folklore and stories because everyone loves to forget we exist

[darkflierazura]

for some chinese folktales, the Qing dynasty book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" /Liaozhai Zhiyi/聊斋志异 by Pu Songling is a good start

i'd also recommend the shanhaijing/山海 or soushenji/搜神记 for books that are compilations

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

[enthusispastic]

"Go ham" is an offensive choice of words :/

[butch-of-the-blades]

imagine the part of the story where miss piggy and her crew land on circe’s island, and circe turns the muppets into humans instead of pigs🤣

so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.

[chekhovs-raygun]

grace is such an interesting bundle of contradictions! he breathes an incredibly flammable gas because he lives at such a cold temperature the gas can't ignite except he burns it very slowly inside the delicate gauzy cage of his body. his meat is basically a delicate water-and-protein foam because he lives in a very tiny fraction of normal atmospheric pressure. his planet has almost no air, no atmosphere. they're so gauzy, so frail, living underneath a whisker-fine sky, that to get to space in a couple seconds by exploding towards it. they can't build a space elevator because all their materials are just various attempts to do anything whatsoever with shitty frozen metals and various hydrocarbon meshes. their spaceship is a tiny refrigerator, the most expensive thing they ever built, and controled by a impossibly complex calculation engine they knitted out of silicates. it contains all human knowledge, if it doesn't catch on fire.

they knew that space was there because they can perceive it directly. it's literally right overhead all the time for their entire evolution. they know the faces of thousands, millions of stars, as soon as they tip their faces up. eridani is a name from two thousand years ago. all their stars have been named and known and watched and sung about for longer than any individual human civilization. they have always known the eridian star was there.

they live to be seventy.

Peer-reviewing @monikoishi's tags because they're banger.

[tainbocuailnge]

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

[tainbocuailnge]

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

[nudityandnerdery]

This seems like a good post to include this link on:

Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still wort

Talking about popular kitchenware companies undergoing enshittification, and gives you a list of brands towards the end that are more reliable.

Do you think the Vessel will show up again in Deltarune?

Yes

No

Remaining time: 23 hours 16 minutes

I ask because I named my vessel "Penis", and I think Kris and Susie would find that very funny.

I actually think Dr Ryland Grace is a valid Sexyman- lemme explain.

Yes, he’s Ryan Gosling, known Traditionally Attractive Man. But I think that’s exactly why he counts. A lot of us have grown up with Ryan Gosling as one of the hot guys the mainstream media talks about and as Tumblr users which questionable taste, most of us have never thought anything beyond “yeah I guess I see it” about this man UNTIL NOW. Ryan Gosling is not a Tumblr Sexyman by any stretch of the imagination but Grace in his goofy ass fox cardigan and askew glasses has that special sauce- he has transcended his actor’s plain good looks

(I could make a similar argument that Benedict Cumberbatch and his version of Sherlock are valid Sexymen but Dr. Strange is not. It’s a purely vibes based classification anyways)
