it uhh it really sucks when your brand new coworkers decide they don’t like you on day 2 and then six months later make fun of you for asking them to create allergen cards for their potluck dishes even though you overheard them talking about the dishes they’re bringing in that include an ingredient you are incredibly allergic to and they have no intentions of telling you

Guys.
Y’all.
I…
I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.
Look. Okay.
There are two things you need to know, here.
First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).
Like this one, currently in the Met:
Tumblr media
Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:
Tumblr media
They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.
The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.
Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

YOU DON’T LIKE ME - TMBG
hello viewers, this is basically a rant/interpretation of You Don’t Like Me by TMBG. if you haven’t heard it before, listen to it before reading this. without further ado, i present a rant that mostly applies to me
i feel that this song isn’t about psychics or fortune tellers or ana ng or whatever the weirdos on tmbw think it’s about.
i think it’s about being neurodivergent with failed past relationships, feeling as if you can’t get away from the cringey thoughts about your exes and lying awake at night feeling alone about not being in a relationship.
the listing parts of the song could be the narrator listing the things that their ex liked in a seemingly condescending way, feeling weird and insecure about their own strange interests that their ex didn’t like.
i also feel like the listed things could be the opposites of the narrator’s interests, a symbolic representation of how their ex opposed them. i decided to rewrite the list with (what i think are) the narrator’s interests
[verse 4]: alcohol, running track, pretzels, Monopoly, dogs, and Reality TV, marionettes, Matthew McConaughey, reading in bed, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and bucket hats
[outro]: Hollywood, fog machines, polaroids, Shark Tank, autopilot, firecrackers, cutting with a knife, Robocop, the evening, and Albrecht Gessler
some of the lyrics in the song show how the narrator feels alone and still opposed by their ex, as well as feeling like an outliar because of their weird behavior.
the mention of “seeing the future like it’s in the past” shows that the narrator is fantasizing about healing their relationship with their ex, wanting to revert everything to how it was in the past
the mentions of “having a friend to offer me advice” show that the narrator envisions a scenario where an ex-friend is giving them advice, but the mention of “being told to let it go” shows how other people are trying to tell the narrator that they need to let go of their ex-friends.
the mind-reading mentions show how the narrator believes that they can know what their ex is thinking about them, feeling angered by the imaginary words of their ex.
verse 5 of the song shows how the narrator felt in the past when they talked to their ex, feeling ignored and like they weren’t even there. the final lyric of the verse shows how the thoughts and presence of the narrator’s ex linger in their thoughts

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.
I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.
Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.
No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.
But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

people when trauma victims act traumatized especially in a way that is unpalatable to them because it involves lashing out and unpredictable moods and having boundary issues rather than just being demure, sad, and consumable

i know it’s like years old at this point but i love that one collab mumbo and grian did with tommyinnit bc it’s like the single most concentrated example i’ve seen of mumbo’s Chaos Nullification Powers
you get to see a bit of it on hermitcraft, mostly via his interactions with grian, but until seeing that collab it didn’t really hit me just how completely mumbo can no-sell other people’s attempts to control a situation. tommyinnit is possibly the single shoutiest, most chaotic minecraft youtuber out there, and in most videos i’ve seen he pretty much overwhelms everyone else and sets the tone for interactions because of this. but mumbo just. doesn’t let him. no matter how much tommy escalates in intensity, mumbo reacts with *exactly* the same energy he always does. grian largely comes across in the whole video as annoyed and reluctant to engage with the whole thing, but mumbo’s not even affected. he just rolls with anything he finds funny and basically ignores anything he disapproves of, only seeming more and more unflappable the harder anyone tries to get a rise out of him.
AND imo, this is the key to my favorite interpretation of him as a character
see, when the people around him are being more reasonable/calm, i think mumbo often comes across as anxious and a bit easily overwhelmed. the thing is, his nervous wet cat vibes do not scale. he has one setting. his responses to the last life ‘ah-ha!’ jokes and to hermitcraft 8 starting to crumble to pieces under a falling moon are almost identical.
mumbo jumbo is inexorably and eternally Just Some Guy, but that gets stranger and stranger the weirder his surroundings become. the giggly incredulousness that makes him an easy target for goofy puns looks Very different when it’s also his reaction to the impending end of the world.

i know tumblr has changed since 2012 because adventure time releasing new fionna and cake episodes resulted in everyone banding together to obsess over the sad wet old man instead of prince gumball and marshall lee playing out a fanfic bakery au

it’s so fucking embarrassing to find a conventionally attractive man attractive every time it happens. like oh you think the handsome man is handsome? you find the attractive guy attractive? derivative. passé. pedestrian
