Spinning on this infinite road

wanna make it VERY clear that right now the spam bot blog problem is so severe that I’m currently blocking AND reporting (as spam/bot) all new followers that have: a photo of a person as an icon, less than two lines blog description, and 0 posts.

so for any people who wanna follow me who are a real person, but just so happen to match these three conditions: I’m sorry but you’re indistinguishable from this website’s current pest at a glance, so if you don’t wanna get blocked and reported by accident please consider doing something to your blog to look human.

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your “lived experience,” that which you “feel it in my heart.” But that doesn’t mean it’s actually true. And it doesn’t mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That’s a “you” thing, not a “we” thing.

shout out to the sound designer who was like “I know exactly what kind of music to whip out for this one!”

in an interesting case of linguistic convergent evolution, the english words scale, scale, and scale are all false cognates of each other

scale as in „to climb“ comes from the latin scala, for ladder.

scale as in the measuring device comes from the old norse skal, for a drinking vessel sometimes used as a weighing device

scale as in the dermal plating on the skin of some fish and reptiles comes from the old french escale, for shell or husk.

Three languages enter, one language leaves.

Liking a post says you liked it, or maybe it’s a personal post by a friend and you want to just quietly acknowledge it to them. Maybe you can find it again later in your likes if you want to share it. It’s NOT mandatory.

Reblogging is sharing it with everyone who happens across your blog. Reblogging is a good thing to do for sharing and promoting things you want to share and promote, or things you like enough to keep on your blog for other people to happen across as well. It’s NOT mandatory. 

The OTT extreme language I’m seeing used to try and guilt-trip people into constant reblogging isn’t healthy. It’s what happens when you’ve had your brain poisoned by the commodification of hobbies and start treating everyone who’s not actively promoting your brand as some kind of enemy. Nobody who sees something in passing and finds it mildly interesting or generally appealing or whatever is obligated by blood-debt to then also recommend it to all their friends and promote it to everyone who happens by. It’s not an act of violence to not reblog. Stop calling people murderers when this is just about posting on our stupid little blogging platform.

You can reblog this if you want. Or not. It’s fine. It’s your blog. It’s your internet experience. You can curate it how you want to. You should curate it how you want to.

I feel like people heard “liking art doesn’t help more people find the artist and thus if they’re trying to make money off their art reblogs are more helpful to them so more people find them” and just wildly generalized it to Every Single Post for no reason.

I mentioned it before but it is very striking to me that as of the last tumblr update, there are now no (0) ways to open someone’s desktop blog from a dashboard post. like you can’t access the url dot tumblr dot com page at all now unless you already know it exists. imo this seems like a canary that personal blog pages will be gone very shortly, which would suck, since to me that is one of the only good things this site has going for it

Correction: you can still open the top-level URL.tumblr.com link from someone’s avatar on the dashboard (so, someone you follow). Actually, I should specify. Here’s a post on the dashboard with seven ways to access a post:

image
  1. Followed blog avatar: Hyperlink, opens in new tab, to URL1.tumblr.com.
  2. Reblogger URL: Hyperlink, opens in new tab, to tumblr.com/URL1.
  3. Reblogged-from URL: Same as #2, but to tumblr.com/URL2.
  4. Uhh… hitbox?: Whatever this is can’t be opened in a new tab and doesn’t even look like a link, but clicking on it opens the dashboard view of tumblr.com/URL1/post.
  5. Copy link under meatball menu: Not a hyperlink, but copies to the clipboard tumblr.com/URL1/post?trackinginfo.
  6. OP URL: Same as #2 and #3, but to tumblr.com/URL3.
  7. Other… hitbox… thing: Same as #4, but to tumblr.com/URL3/post.

So you can access the custom blog, but not a post on a custom blog, despite the plethora of links. Very annoying.

No, here’s the worst part: you can indeed get the link of the post you are clicking on and view it on the person’s custom blog!

IT’S JUST ON THE FUCKING MEATBALL MENU TIMESTAMP INSTEAD FOR SOME REASON I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS SITE

oh my god

I’m glad someone found it because I was trying to get to a prev tags and I ended up searching for the post in the person’s blog

So I didn’t think Mare would get in but since he did I guess I have to tell you all about him because his books were never translated to English:

So to start off strong, the catholic church is trying to hunt him down and destroy him and his domain because they see him as a threat to their control

The book covers for the four Mare books. From left to right: Mare: Circus, Mare: Nøkkelen, Mare: Apokalypsen, and Mare: Den Sovende Byen.  The first cover features Mare, a young, pale boy with curly, black hair and a teardrop tattoo under his left eye. He's wearing a white shirt, a black, unbuttoned vest, black trousers, and a bowler hat, looking scared with grey flames in his hands. The second features Mare holding a golden key and staring at it. He is surrounded by lots of tiny elves with glowing eyes who are staring at him. The third features a small, serpentine dragon with feathered wings sitting in a bowler hat. The fourth features Mare standing by a railing and looking at a girl in a black dress who is standing on top of the railing, leaning away from him and smiling.ALT

Mare is from a Norwegian children’s book series, and the character is named after a creature from germanic and slavic folklore that rides on people’s chest while they sleep, giving them Nightmares. I assume his last name is Incubus because they’re also nightmare demons and the author just didn’t consider it’s not really a fitting thing to name an eternal child, so lets just breeze past that. Everyone makes mistakes. These books are far from perfect.

Mare is the Prince of Dreams and ruler of the Dream Domain, and considering how some real life mythologies have designated dream gods, I’d say that’s enough to make him qualify as a god. He has the power to visit people in their dreams with the help of a magic key crafted by elves. Said dreams are also his source of power, and if all humans were to stop dreaming, his domain would disappear and he’d become powerless and mortal. He can affect people’s dreams and give them nightmares, and manifest dreams and nightmares into the real world where they become tangible.

A painted illustration of Mare being held by a large, fat, bearded lady, and surrounded by circus performers looking at him curiously. The performers are a flying child angel with burnt clothes and wings, a big strongman with a mustache, a male acrobat with a long face and unnaturally long limbs, a man with dwarfism, with black hair and a sour expression, and a pair of very young, redheaded twins.ALT
Mare, in the middle of a dark forest, being given his key by the elves. He is holding the glowing, golden key up by a leather cord and lifting it up from a small box in his other hand. There is an old elf in front of him, smiling, with gray skin and a long, white beard. Behind them are a bunch of silhouettes of other elves with glowing, yellow eyes.ALT

He gets found floating in a river without memories by a circus, and spends the first three books finding out who he is and what happened to him. He then spends the last book freeing his captured family, defeating the main villain, etc.

At one point saves the ringmaster from a pair of tax collectors who are after his arm, and when Mare meets them later he very much enjoys the fact that he gives this pair of monstrous villains the heebie jeebies. :3

Mare leaning against a tree with a piece of straw in his mouth in the middle of the night. He is looking out a trail with trees on either side. There is a silhouettes of two men riding horses on the trail in the direction of Mare.ALT
Mare in front of the two horse riders. Mare is cradling a silver-blue flame in his hands and staring at it. The horsemen, who are pale, bald men with long limbs and blank eyes, are reeling back in fear.ALT

Mare has three family members: his uncle Phobous (fear incarnate), his cousin Mori (death incarnate), and his sister Lacrima (tears/sorrow(?) incarnate)

Mare as a deity is a playful but goodhearted. He wants humans to dream to give them an break from the struggles of real world and to help them stay creative and imaginative. He also revels in giving people nightmares, claiming that they are just as necessary as dreams.

Now look at him being all cool and stuff with his powers! The scenes are, in order: Accidentally releasing a bunch of nightmares while his memories were still gone, fighting off his uncle Phobous aka The Shadow (who wanted to take the “throne” in classic villain uncle fashion), and summoning a bunch of dreams after being convinced to do it as an act for the circus (but that doesn’t make it less cool!)

A red and grayscale illustration of Mare, sitting on the ground with a scared expression and leaning away from the camera. He is surrounded by nightmare creatures spinning, running around him. A long, squid-like thing with small eyes and a giant, stretched mouth filled with sharp teeth is in front. A cloaked horseman riding on a shadow-horse with glowing eyes is behind him. There are also black tendrils, spikes and glowing eyes near the edge of the illustration as the only visible parts of the other creatures.ALT
A fullcolor illustration of Mare, inside an endless, blue corridor filled with red doors. He is kneeling on the floor with his head low, hiding his face. His shoulders are hunched and his hands are raised up at the level of his shoulders. He is clutching a shining, white light in each of his hands while a dark shadow is on the floor under him, attempting to crawl up his legs.ALT
Mare surrounded by dream-like creatures. Mare is on his knees, facing the camera, with his arms limp at his side and his eyes hidden by the brim of his hat. Walking up next to him is a giant snow leopard and a racoon with a tail made out of firework sparks. Above him flies a glowing silver dragon with a snake body and feathered wings. Behind Mare are streaks of magic that look like lightning strikes, a tortoise with really long legs, a rabbit-shaped, yellow blob, a lot of vaguely animal-like shapes, and a flock of black and red birds with long tails.ALT
