#actually found the source

At the same time that fascistic propaganda across Europe upheld Hector as a perfect, noble soldier and Achilles as an insubordinate villain, the English verb "hector" (as in "he hectored me until I agreed to come in to work this weekend") came into use to mean harass, bully, badger.
While one source suggested this is because of how Hector urged his troops to keep fighting in the Iliad, with the meaning eventually getting warped over time, another claims that "rowdy street toughs" in 17th century London called themselves "Hectors," envisioning themselves as mighty, young warriors. Everyone else, obviously, saw them as annoying, violent assholes. And thus, while Hector's reputation continued to exceed what was represented in the surviving texts regarding the Trojan War, his name came to mean far worse than his behavior warranted.
#once again woke up with a thought#I am having a lot of trouble finding an actual source on this street gang thing#everyone is citing the same place#which is a fucking dictionary#which cites nothing#so like idk man#hector of troy#etymology#the iliad#on the other hand#hector coming to mean bullying your no good brother#would have been so fine by me#fucking love literally everything he says to Paris#actually found the source#and the book sounds so interesting#Hooligans by Pearson (1983)#a history of youth gangs in London I believe#might actually get it the writing looks fun

Making Incorrect H:SR Quotes Until I Run Out of (hopefully) Original Ideas - Pt. 6
[Pt. 1] [Pt. 2] [Pt. 3] [Pt. 4] [Pt. 5]
#hsr#honkai star rail#hsr incorrect quotes#hsr textpost#hsr memes#honkai star rail memes#hsr meme#honkai star rail meme#boothill#hsr boothill#argenti#hsr argenti#sunday#hsr sunday#aventurine#hsr aventurine#black swan#hsr black swan#argenhill#boothill x argenti#i love their 'guns n' roses' ship name a whole lot but im not trying to unintentionally put this in the actual band's tag lmao#i dont have a good concise title for this one its just like. 50% Boothill and 50% my other fav hsr men. thats it thats the theme#also. dont fuckign come at me like 'but the 6th one isn't accurate! he wasn't born in a test tube!!' listen. i know.#he was found abandoned in the snow or smthn idk i haven't dug into his lore leaks yet but i Know. the first half isnt all that accurate#but the overall vibes of it are funny enough to me that i had to make it anyways. let's all just learn to suspend our disbelief a bit#for the sake of laughs. also also. hopefully it goes w/o saying but if something ever lacks a source it's bc i found it like that#i always leave the op's handles even if they dont fit the characters but sometimes the posts i find have already had them cropped out#which irks me bc i Try to be a stickler for giving credit. but anyways. enough overthinking the making of these silly memes#also. some of these are prob a bit more accurate only if you've seen some of Boothill's voiceline and message leaks but eh its fine

let's play "spot the undervalued historical sub-field!"
source, source, source, source, COMPLETELY UNSOURCED STORY TREATED AS A SOURCE IN ITSELF DESPITE BEING- AGAIN- NOT A SOURCE AT ALL, source, source, source...
being a clothing history specialist is fucking exhausting, guys
(also enjoy those history myths, or at least mischaracterizations. "they were SO GROSS that their hair was FULL OF VERMIN ALWAYS and they only cared enough to MAKE SPECIAL HEAD-SCRATCHERS, not DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!! EWWWW!!!")
#history#dress history#fashion history#clothing history#historical fashion#18th century#I am trying to track the veracity of the pouf a l'inoculation#I found a reference to a primary source! a reference from 1807! so it probably was a Thing!#just struggling to actually find that source because the title is extremely common#and the guy in 1807 didn't give an author or publication date or anything

character class spreads from the official elden ring tabletop rpg, including a mixture of original art for existing classes and new art for classes exclusive to the rpg. i don't think these have been circulated much in english-speaking fan circles, if at all.
#i don't have a pdf copy of this game so i had to rip and recomposite each of these from the back end of the shopfront i found the book on#pretty tedious. worth it though#i'd like to credit these like i usually do but i don't know the artist's name#so hopefully referring to the source is enough#elden ring#ttrpg#ELDEN RING TRPG#<- the actual title of the thing#offical art

with the training of a decade of formal language education I now have a strong enough grasp of spanish to read french and feel like I've been awake for three days and am having a stroke
#art history research is like. that book looks great but it hasn't been translated from german.#that english book review is promising but the book itself is in french.#the abstract of this article is in english and promises exactly what I need but the article itself is in thai.#I actually know spanish well enough to read this in the original. it is also the only source I've found with an accessible english version.#marina marvels at life

Shoutout to people with trauma that is uncommon.
Shoutout to people with trauma that little people have experienced.
Shoutout to people who have had trauma from multiple sources, making their experience unique.
Shoutout to people with trauma who struggle to find anyone who went through what they went through.
#just something I’ve experienced#I’ve had a combination of sources making it very hard and unique#one of these sources very rarely represented and about a year ago I found a subreddit with 500 people that went through the obscure part and#the relief I went through when I saw similar experiences#just because what happened to be ties into other aspects of life blah blah blah#I let out this breath I had no clue I was holding#the subreddit only has 1500 people but it’s super active and I feel seen every time I go and I never realized how important representation#of what I went through was until I finally found people who I related to#it’s complicated DM me if you want the full scoop lmao#mental health#positivity#self care#mental illness#self help#recovery#ed recovery#actuallytraumatized#trauma#childhood trauma#actuallytraumagenic#actually traumatized#trauma edit#trauma art#trauma survivor#traumacore#generational trauma#trauma healing#trauma recovery#bpd#ptsd

That is all thank you
ANSWERED: Art credit for da first Ren meme goes to @meo-eiru!!
BUT HELPPPPP THESE ARE SO FUNNY JDSGJH T_T The Moth meme + Uno meme had me CACKLING lmaoooooooo
#This has been happening a lot recently (and is by no means directed to OP) but!! Just a reminder to credit artists if you use their art!!#And it's always better to ask for permission beforehand; some artists don't like havin their art shared / reposted / reuploaded / etc.#They put in effort to create content for you to consume; so it's only fair to give them da proper credit and exposure in return!!#''Credits to the original creator'' and ''I found the image on google / pinterest / etc.'' isn't a good enough excuse >.<#If you can't find the creator; don't share it. And at the very least try to reverse image search to locate the source#But!!!! With all that being said:#Everyone is welcome to use the official 14DWY sprites/game assets without asking for my permission or giving credit!#I personally think it's ok because game assets can be found /within/ the game itself; it's not like folks have to go on a search hunt--#--to find a specific artist. They can find the art/asset within the game without having to do the extra steps.#If that makes any sense??#Like the 14DWY style is fairly recognisable if you're familiar with the game; folks don't need to reverse image search for anything.#Anyways I'm done ranting in da tags#I might make this an actual post in the future because; again; this has been happening a lot recently in the 14dwy tag/my askbox#and all these talented artists don't deserve this ;n;#Plus it shouldn't be my job to be the one giving credit..... T_T /lh /nm#OKOK I'm done for realsies now#Thank you OP for making these memes!! And sorry for ranting on what's supposed to be a lighthearted post dghjdgjhsg ^^;#💜 — 14dwy memes.#💌 — answered.#💖 — 14 days with queue.
