confusing Odysseus and Orpheus is like confusing a liar and a lyre. send post

when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me

Fantasy setting where all of the various goblin-adjacent species are actually regular goblins impersonating beasties from local folklore for their own reasons.

Orc? Goblin who works out.

Troll? Goblin on stilts.

Ogre? Three goblins in a bathrobe.

Kobold? This one's not actually a deliberate charade, it's just a goblin who needs to touch grass.

Terminology Thursday: Derivative Ship

[ID: Infographic explaining the term 'Derivative Ship'. It uses little cut-outs of two green figures and a red heart to represent the original ship, with various 'derivative ships' branching off in different colors (blue, yellow and pink), signifying alternative versions of the original ship in different media. The main text reads 'Derivative Ship' in both English and Chinese. /End ID]

This Terminology Thursday, we’re looking at Derivative Ship: a term commonly used in C-Drama fandoms for a popular pairing that spawns crossover ships featuring other characters played by the same actors.

For example, fans of the pairing Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan (巍澜) from the series Guardian would look for other roles the two actors have played and ship these characters together. These fanworks would be labelled as WeiLan Derivatives or 巍澜衍生.

The term originated among Chinese fans who also use it for ships from non-Chinese fandoms. English speaking fans typically refers to Derivative Ship as Adjacent Ship or Actor-based crossover pairings.

i know that when a book describes dragons picking up their riders they probably mean scruffing them by the neck in their mouths like a kitten, but i always imagine something like this

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"
