I was inspired by some old fairytale illustrations I found on Pinterest. The figures in this drawing are directly based on one of these illustrations, I searched around and I’m pretty sure it’s from “the wild swan” by Erik bulatov and Oleg vasiliev

I’ve decided that my 20s are actually age 25 - 35
u guys stay infantilizing urselves while the rest of us experience life
Are these people trying to make the job easier for conservatives that want to raise the voting age? Because "young adults' brains aren't done maturing until they turn 25".
No, actually. Your brain never stops developing.
Whether you are young or old, your brain is always changing.

Astronomer Jan Koet captured this video in 2007 of Saturn appearing behind the Moon.
"How do I stop being scared of-" You do it scared. The courage arrives WITH the action, not before it. Don't wait to feel confident before you act because the key to confidence is usually doing the thing while still scared as fuck
From the US but i spell grey with an e because e just feels like a much greyer letter than a
grey with an E is dusty neutral but gray with an A is bluish and darker
it really is, huh
Omg I’ve found my people
It's because GRAY is a West Saxon word for the quality of light, while GREY is an Anglian word for everyday objects. And everyday objects are typically earthy, warmer, or more neutral.
To explain: West Saxon and Anglian are both dialects of Old English. West Saxon was the politically dominant dialect, but Anglian was the more popular spoken dialect. So a lot of Old English texts are written in West Saxon, but what we know as Middle English and Modern English descended more from Anglian because it was spoken by more people.
So grey (the Anglian word) shows up when authors are describing everyday stuff. Like in this sentence describing a grey beard from Holy Boke Gratia Dei: "The hed of Petir is a brood face with mech her on his berd and that is of grey colour be twix whit and blak."
Any Middle English text you read, you'll find Anglian grey is the word the author prefers to describe everyday things. Grey wool, grey feathers, grey stones, grey horses.
By contrast, gray (the West Saxon word) shows up when authors are describing the qualities of light.
A gleaming gray sword, a deep gray lake, a misty gray morning, cold gray marble, sad gray eyes. Like in this sentence from The Siege of Jerusalem: "They glowes of graie steel that were with gold hemmyd." More often than not, gray describes an impermanent or glimmering quality of light.
There's even an instance where a Middle English author uses both, and you can see how one spelling is more about the quality of light while the other is more about the color of the animal: "The cerkyl or the roundel off the eye ys sumtyme graye lyke the ey off a catte, sumtyme blak grey lyke the eyn off doggys."
("The circle or round of the eye is sometimes gray like the eye of a cat, sometimes black-grey like the eyes of dogs.")
The reason Americans use gray and not grey is because Noah Webster hated the English. :)
so freakin cool
@helloelicia I have never heard this explanation of the gray/grey division before and I am intrigued. Do you have a source?
The first time our eyes met across a crowded room, it was not love at first sight. Love did not grab me by the throat. Instead when I looked at you, I saw the flowers in the meadow I used to play in as a child. What I mean to say is, every time I think of you, I remember the safest, most sacred place I ever knew. Every time I touch you, my whole body blossoms with wildflowers.
