Borne of the Styx

Blake | | Guy | | I'm a fanboy plain and simple.

[spiderrrling]

Ok so I don’t know if you have noticed but into the spider verse does an AMAZING job at telling Gwen’s backstory in just a few minutes, now this does contain spoilers for Gwen’s backstory

In Gwen’s backstory scene you can see the shadow of her beating up Green Goblin right?

Now if you pay attention to the Green Goblin’s shadow you can see it turning into a man like this;

This is Peter Parker, in Gwen’s universe Peter Parker is her best friend and also the Green Goblin

You can even see the green blue scales left on his body after he is back to his normal state

And you can see the look of terror on Gwen’s face after she realizes what she has done, and they don’t even show her face

Then later when Peter meets MJ in the restaurant Gwen tells Peter that “it’s not your MJ, trust me I’ve been there”

She is directly talking about him, right in front of him, and he doesn’t even know it

Gwen goes through the entire movie having to look at Peter B. Parker and remember that she killed her Peter

And this concludes my essay for why Gwen is an underated character and y'all need to give her the respect she deserves

Tumblr Code.

[geekishchic]

If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”

that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything

I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person

must keep reblogering!! Im going to be so suspicious if any one tells me this now!

Remember the answer is: I stole them from the president.

always reblog tumblr identification

[hobbinch]

This is an absolute tumblr relic. I feel like an archaeologist right now. This is incredible that this is on my dash.

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

[bl00dlikeice]

@caesarianconfection

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

[mommacomms]

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

[pagesofkenna]

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

[animatedamerican]

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

[captainlordauditor]

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

[japhers]

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

[maps-and-elvis-and-zelda-n-shit]

types of stard

mu

ba

[brunhiddensmusings]

this is oddly close to real ‘ard’ is a real suffix in the english language just like ‘ly’ or ‘ify’, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. ‘ard’ means ‘too much’ or ‘too easily’ so ‘mustard’ is something that is ‘too pungent’, just as ‘wizard’ is someone who is too wise, ‘coward’ is someone too easily cowed, and ‘drunkard’ is someone too often drunk

this implies that ‘bastard’ is someone who is too ‘bast’ and this needs experimentation and research

[sistertaxon]

Are you fucking serious omg

OP forgot the best part

[mother-teresa-with-a-dick-deact]

did he try to stab her?

[daisenseiben]

No, he was trying to cut off his pinkie finger as an apology.

The running joke of the manga is that he used to be a high-ranking yakuza enforcer who’s having trouble adapting to civilian life. Hence her shocked face when she saw the decorations and the creepy way he sang “Happy Birthday”; it’s a traditional birthday celebration for your oyabun, not your wife.

[trilllizard666]

oh my god, i just realized, this means he sees her

An excerpt from Out of the Woods:

[The calm before the climax. Adam has been gifted an amulet which allows him to stay transformed into a human.]

Adam and Gretel swept past Giovanni [Puss In Boots]. The cat’s nose touched his boots as he graciously said, “In bocca al lupo.”

Adam slowed to a halt before donning a grim smile. “Yeah, all right.”

“What did he say?” Gretel whispered.

“Go into the mouth of the wolf.”

“It’s just an expression, Signore,” said the cat hastily. “It means ‘good luck’.”

“Still.” To the surprise of everyone, Adam crouched down and removed his heavy royal cloak, wrapping it around the shoulders of the cat, until the fabric covered the entire creature from the neck down. 

Giovanni blinked before asking, “Why have you given me this?”

“Well, just because I’m no longer your prince, that doesn’t mean that I won’t enforce the basic laws of decency,” Adam said, his smile growing. “Now, I don’t commend your actions, but nobody should be at the ire end of a fairy. I happen to be at the ire end of several, one of whom has the biggest heart out of anyone I’ve ever met. I certainly don’t deserve that blessing and it should go to someone who does. Despite what Hansel wanted me to believe, I’m ninety-nine percent sure that Mrs. Rabbit is, in fact, a rabbit. So, that leaves you.”

The former prince reached up and unclasped the rope, letting the amulet fall into his already-transforming hands. He only had a few seconds to tie the rope around the cat’s neck. The gasping pub-dwellers raced forward, crowding the scene. Robin and Gretel pushed through, their jaws dropping as they took in the sight. Beast was licking his paw in an effort to avoid smirking at the bewildered boy who was lost in a sea of robes. The child looked at his hands, then felt his face, then faced his gaping sister. “Robin?”

“Gio!”

The siblings tightly embraced as the rest of the pub looked on. Gretel affectionately scratched Beast’s head, causing the former prince to snuggle against her. Giovanni and Robin eventually fell to their knees, holding one another, clearly having assumed that the day would never come.

Robin eventually turned to the wolf with tears in her eyes. “I will never be able to repay you for this.”

“Yes, you will,” Beast quietly said. “I have a favor to ask. I need you to break into the castle—a task of which you are very well-adept—and take as much food from the kitchens as possible. Distribute it to the masses. I trust Odette with all of my life but I’m not willing to put your lives on the line. Make sure that everyone is fed until such time that a ruler can divide funds. If the food runs out, peddle whatever you can find, as long as it didn’t belong to my father or sister. Even then, Malum probably wouldn’t care. Just make sure the items of Adam Adelaide II remain in ta—well—he would understand. Do whatever you have to do, sweetie.”

The girl slowly rose to her feet, the wind blowing her tears right out of her eyes. “Adam, you’re not our prince anymore.”

Gretel uncomfortably squirmed.

“Yes, I’m well aware,” said the wolf with a sigh. “I know that you don’t have to follow my orders anymore. Did you ever do that, anyway? All I’m asking is—”

“No, I mean—” Robin bit her lip before saying, “You don’t have to do this.”

“Of course I do,” he firmly said. “I might not be your ruler but you will always be my peasants. I should have taken better care of you all before. I’m sorry that I did such a terrible job. The other Adam would have known what to do. Come to think of it, Grand-Père Adam would have, as well.” He sighed before addressing the pub at large: “I’m sorry you got the runt of the wolf pack. You all deserve so much more.”

He turned to Gretel and asked, “You’re not going to stay behind, are you?”

She shook her head and he crouched down, allowing her to climb onto his back. The two set off, though Beast only took several steps out into the snow before he heard someone softly say, “You weren’t that bad.”

The duo looked over their shoulders. Robin looked minuscule as she stood among the older peasants. She hugged herself close, staring at the wolf as though she was seeing him for the first time. Taking a deep breath, she called, “You weren’t that bad of a prince.”

Beast gave her a small smile. “You weren’t that bad of a thief.”

Me, several minutes ago, upon realizing that ‘good luck’ in Italian also translates to ‘go into the wolf’s mouth’: :D

the seven + nico; name meanings

The tone of Lord of the Rings changes significantly when you learn that Sauron isn’t his name but an elvish pun on it that basically means “that mother fucker”

[sleepy-salami]

especially when you learn that he kept calling himself smth like “Mairon the Admirable” or “Tar-Mairon” (King Excellent), despite all the Middle-Earth calling him “Stinky” (elv. saura - “foul, evil-smelling, putrid” ).

[faustandfurious]

Celebrimbor, upon discovering that Annatar was Sauron all along: Oh damnit, pranked by old Smellypants

[dagny-hashtaggart-deactivated20]

To be fair, “Annatar,” which means “lord of gifts” sounds a bit less ‘convincing wolf in sheep’s clothing’ or even ‘seductive power of evil’ and a bit more ‘unmarked white van ostensibly containing candy,’ so it’s not like Sauron was very good at naming himself, either.
