did you let me die in your arms in the timeloop

I keep thinking about this post. Did you let me? As in did you not save me? and Did you let me? as in did you allow me the comfort of your embrace at the expense of your own pain, knowing tomorrow I would be back and fine but you’d still be feeling my blood against your skin?

Did you let me die in your arms?

Me: Did you know that medieval cathedrals weren't actually supposed to be dark and rundown places with only stained glass as color? They were bright places full of light... the reason they look like that now is because of the centuries of accumulated grime and dust, here look at this restoration of the Cathedral of Chartres in France:

It's based on actual paint from the times, and when you think about it, it makes a lot more sense, after all a church is supposed to be a bright place of hope. Yet when we think about the middle ages we think about grimy and dark cathedrals. I wonder how much of our conception of history is shaped by our current visions of historical buildings.

My Goth GF: listen, I don't think this thing between us is working,

OP you need to date more goth history nerds

This is why I get mad when they only use old-looking books as props in period films/shows that are set during a time when those BOOKS WOULD’VE BEEN NEW AND FRESHLY BOUND AND STILL SHINY

Reminds me of an old internet poem:

< > ! * ' ' #

^ " ` $ $ -

! * = @ $ _

% * < > ~ # 4

& [ ] . . /

| { , , SYSTEM HALTED

The poem can only be appreciated by reading it aloud, as such:

Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,

Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,

Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,

Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,

Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,

Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH

OH I GOT ONE AS WELL

Behold, the math limerick:

((12+144+20+3*sqrt[4])/7)+5*11=9²+0

A dozen, a gross, and a score,

plus three times the square root of four,

divided by seven,

plus five times eleven

is nine squared and not a bit more

Only vaguely related but my uncle showed me this one when I was a kid to keep me busy:

He wouldn't tell me what it meant for fucking ages

It helps if you read it with a cockney accent. It reads:

'em are spiders' em are

See 'em beady eyes

'em are spiders' em are

Okay, this one isn't symbolic, but...

CIVILI DEREGO FIFTIBUS INERO

DEMIS NOBUS DEMIS TRUX

The intended reading:

See, Villi, dere `ey go. Fifty bus in a row.

Dem is no bus, dem is trucks.

My dad got in trouble with a Nun in school for that one!

June 22 2019 - A fascist trying to pick a fight at Bologna Pride gets more reaction than he bargained for. [video]

Exit, pursued by bear.

The description of the original video:

Translation:

“A neo-fascist, in all his Italian virility, begins to insult some women participating in Bologna Pride. This until, frightened by other protesters covered with glitter and by a bear far more virile than he, to devote himself to what the Fascists do best: escape.”

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR. I’M SOBBING

La fuga, pursued by bear in glitter 🤣🤣🤣

“to devote himself to what the Fascists do best: escape.” ROAST HIS ASS

the Strength, the Solidarity, and the Shade here is examplary

Fascist ideology is based on might makes right. When they fail to actually display said might, they lose all credibility with their peers.

Therefore it is always morally correct to punch a Nazi. Just remember it may not be *legal* and you should be prepared for the consequences.
