Throwback To Unsleeping City While Neverafter Doesn’t Drop!

Another Rue fashion moment. Inspired by a 1856 wedding dress. They make for a great fashion model it seems.

hey mushrooms are always good for you

i’m so glad i decided to subscribe to the worlds beyond number patreon

hearing the children’s adventure is everything and it is giving CONTEXT

if you have $5 to spare per month, and you already enjoy the episodes that have been released of worlds beyond number, this is a GREAT investment

(i’ll be honest, i didn’t even finish the episodes that have been released publicly before subscribing, i needed to know how they bonded)

I drew my own version on Rosamund Du Prix, her dress is 1690s style, wich is around when the Perrault version of the sleeping beauty came out

Be Kind. Be Cunning. Do Right.

I love Laudna so much

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
