amazing how the puritans are still alive and well in the great american romanticization of work and capitalism, Max Weber in da house fr fr

did judas do something problematic?

on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.

i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why

Growing to love how German forms words. Just learned about ‘unwegsam’, which means ‘impassable’ but is literally ‘unroad-like’ - exquisite.

Kenningar were used mostly in poetry. The point of them was not to avoid taboo words, but rather to ensure rhythm and alliteration, which formed the basis of old Germanic poetry, much like today you would avoid one word for another that rhymes better.

One of my favourites: “the dark betrayer of the wood-bear of old walls” > CAT, and that’s because “the wood-bear of old walls” is MOUSE, and “the dark betrayer of mouse” is cat. As you can see the hip thing among skalds and similar figures became to make more complex kenningar.
