[ID: youtube comment from Hal Sawyer:

My favorite relic English still used everywhere is the word "the" used in phrases like: "the more I look at this, the stranger it seems, or "the bigger they come, the harder they fall". This "the" is not the article of any noun, it is a different word, a conjunction descended from the old English "þā", pronounced "tha" which means either "when" or "then". Back in early Middle English the structure "if - then" had not taken over and if you wanted to express an if - then relationship you said "þā whatever, þā whatever", meaning "when such-and- such, then such-and-such". "þā" sounds almost the same as "the" and the spelling of the two converged, but the meaning remained totally different. "the more, the merrier" literally means "when more, then merrier" or "if more, then merrier'; same as centuries ago.

this is so cool

now with added wiktionary link

update: please reblog this reblog which has a correction to this, it's from þȳ not þā and is a different grammatical form, more like "this much x means this much y"

yall do not want to hear me out

i don’t usually venture in the “illustration” territory (as you can see) so i was really stuck when it came to the rendering, i didn’t plan it at all and that really shows and it was a pain to figure stuff out as i went (don’t be like me, plan first) so even now i am not satisfied at all with the lighting and rendering that’s why i also included the line art

Yknow that post about that person watchin Parasite expecting there to be an actual flesh parasite monster.

Well I was readin “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison, which is a good book about a man tryna find his way in a world that doesn’t want him after his entire life plan fuckin falls apart (the invisibility in this case is metaphorical).

And I was NOT reading “THE Invisible Man” by H.G. Wells (which does in fact star an actually invisible man)

So I’m readin like ‘damn, this dude fuckin goin through it! The groups of power present truly do not see him as the man he is, but rather what they wish him to be! Making him, metaphorically, invisible!

…

And then he’s actually gonna turn invisible!!!!”

I've been figuring out how to do more detailed lineart using my pens and sketchbook - instead of digitally (which it turns out is a lot of fun :D), so of course I had to draw Zuko :D
