this is SO funny

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

[feels-for-the-fictional]

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

[marzipanandminutiae]

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

[ineptshieldmaid]

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

I love this movie

[pilgrimkitty]

I have no clue what movie this is but I want to see it.

[outsidersmark]

it’s from night at the museum 2

the night at the museum films continue to be criminally underrated (aka blown off bc they’re “just comedies for kids”, they are actually Really Really Good Films

[ninjaotta]

Honestly.  Accurate POCs playing POCs (including an Egyptian Pharaoh, Hun warriors and a Native American girl), Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt, THIS SCENE and just being awesome in general

there’s a host of crazy shit that goes on, including a fucking t rex that plays fetch with one of its own ribs

long story short; they’re fab
