SPIDERMAN IS BACK

I REAPET SPIDERMAN IS BACK

heybaetae

and if i said that tumblr thought they could get away with that update bc they know the majority of this website ignores the reblog option entirely compared to years ago, so they figured they could just BREAK the very foundation of how this website was built to operate and people would just shrug and be fine with that. please let this be a wake up call. our strong reaction to that change should start to reflect significantly in that ACTUAL reblog count under those notes we just fought for to stay untouched. fandoms and communities cannot thrive on likes alone. as much as tumblr has tried to turn this place in tiktok and twitter, it's not. posts need to circulate. art needs to be seen and shared. tumblr is not tumblr if this is not happening consistently because reblogs are the heartbeat of this website. please don't ever take it for granted. never give tumblr a reason to take away the thing that links us together and amplifies creativity. make reblogging a priority, PLEASE.

Was trying to figure out whether or not Dante's Inferno was an isekai, and my friend dropped the line "all religious text is just method-written fantasy"

Its not an isekai. It happens in our reality, but in Dante's dream.

"all religious text is fantasy" is incorrect for several reasons. However the reasons are interesting and they highlight one of my favorite things about religious studies; the emic vs etic divide. Basically, how the authors conceived of their work at the time, and how we conceive of it now.

Christian fiction did exist. One of my favorite stories in the Decameron is about a terrible man becoming a saint. But our Modern notions of "fantasy literature" didn't exist. For Dante's time, stories about fairies and monsters were much closer to folklore.

The Divine Comedy was part of a genre that doesn't really exist anymore; it is a Visio. This is a genre of dream or visionary literature you see all over the medieval era. It has its own conventions and tropes. I'm no expert on medieval literature, but I can say with confidence it doesn't fit into modern notions of fantasy.

Also "all religious writing" is an extremely broad category. A lot of the Bible is just normal history! The talmud is philosophical commentary!

Christina of Sweden was a 17th-century monarch who ruled as a king. Born covered in hair, she had a cry so deep that everyone thought she was a boy.

Happy to learn she was a girl, her father decreed she would have the education of a prince and made her his heir. She inherited the throne at the age of 6 and ruled for years as a blunt, unmarried, lady king who often disguised herself as a man for political and safety reasons.

Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.

Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”

Gaza teen going into organ failure!

19-year-old Khalil Al Habil's liver and kidneys are failing. Shrapnel damage from the bombardment that killed his baby brother Omar has gone mostly untreated due to a lack of funds and resources. The ill effects of this damage have progressed to the point that the organs are losing their ability to function. Khalil urgently needs 3 rounds of treatment to combat the effects of his deteriorating liver and kidneys.

These organs perform vital functions in the body. The body cannot function without them. If Khalil does not receive emergency intervention soon, he will die!

The first round is $1000 usd-let's get this round paid for so we can get Khalil the help he needs!!!

Current: $8,029 out of $9,012 usd (6 March)

Need to raise: $983 usd
