Have you noticed these windows?

These images showcases a beautiful set of old, possibly medieval or early modern windows, which contain distinct "bullseye" panes. These "bullseyes" were a byproduct of a historical glass-making technique called crown glass production. During this process, molten glass would be spun into a disk, and the central portion, where the rod had been attached, would form a thick, rounded distortion — the bullseye. Originally considered flawed or less desirable compared to the smooth outer edges, these panes were often sold at a lower cost.

The bullseye feature is now cherished for its historical charm and rustic character. Because modern methods of glass production allow for flawless, uniform sheets of glass, this style of window pane is no longer deliberately replicated, giving such windows a unique, irreplaceable quality. The reflection of the light in these windows, along with the subtle distortions from the bullseyes, adds a sense of warmth and antiquity to the building.

In modern settings, these features are often sought after by those who appreciate craftsmanship and history. The uneven, hand-crafted appearance of these windows contrasts with today's mass-produced glass, making each pane unique and full of character, adding not just aesthetic value but also a tangible connection to the past.

I don't think we talk often enough about how amazing a poet J.R.R. Tolkien was.

I just read The Lay of Arthur and it was amazing. I got to the battle scene and was so caught up in the excitement and the sound that I just had to read it aloud. It was its own kind of adrenaline rush. I haven't been caught up in poetry like that in a long time.

Mood:

I greet thee! Here is Morbid’s guide to old English insulting/general tomfoolery

(This isn’t accurate to any one time period, rather taking influence from many with my own additions)

thees thous and thines:

All terms referring to another such “you” and “yours”. Thou is when the person is the subject of the sentence. Eg, thou art a troublesome calculator. Thee is when the person is not the subject. Eg, my name is morbid and I am legally no longer allowed upon British lands before any of thee ask. The word “art” is the old equivalence of are, eg “thou art”

Thine and thy are possessive. Thine for when the next word starts with a vowel. Thy if it does not. Eg, might I cleave thy soul from thine ailing body?

You do not need to speak fluent Shakespearean/elizebethan or Medieval English in order to incorporate it into everyday life. Rather the basics.

By god!

For emphasis I do enjoy throwing in phrases such as these

• Prithee (old slang for pray-thee, I do believe the Elizabethans used this frequently) eg, Prithee wither!

• By god! God’s wounds/other body part. Swearing by god or any of his body parts. Eg “by god thou art a measly shrew!!” Or “thou art the wounds of god” “by god’s holy feet”

Curse thee!!!

• how might one curse? Like this

• plague upon thine crop/kin/cattle/fields

• May the gods scorn thee

• wither I tell thee!

• by the power of *insert deity* plague upon thee

• burn and boil, crave and quiver, mewl and moan I say

• adding a “doth saith the lord” to the end of things can help

• by my faith!

• by my plough!

• by my heart beneath my breast!

You”re”e mother

What is the ye olde version of the your mum roast? These are some I do enjoy

• thine kin, eg “thou art an embarrassment upon thine kin”. Or perhaps “thine blood does lament to be thine”

• shame upon those who did sire thee or “thou does bring shame upon those who sired thee”

Huh?!???

• the formula to creating an insult is this, often times an exclamation to god, excessive use of adjectives plus some sort of unpleasant imagery (worms, maggots, feet, anything considered dirty)

• the easiest formula I find is this:

body part + random animal = insult

eg thou art a chicken livered fool”

• words such as those describing wounds, boils and other unpleasant bodily functions should be utilised

• comparison to inconveniences, eg “what good shall become of entertaining thee? Does the farmer crawl about for the rotten fruit on the orchard floor?”

Let us practice

Shut up = silent thy jabbering tongue for it betrays thee. Thine dog squabble for words art daggers to the ears of mine

You’re more A then B: thou art of greater stench than a toad.

You disgust me: thou art as the snivelling filth grimed upon the stock

You’re the worst : thine soul art the smell of the February

I don’t want to be around you : I do desire that we may be better strangers (from Shakespeare’s as you like it)

Fuck you : I do bite my thumb at thee

Tips

• read up on Shakespeare, the excessive and nonsensical melodrama is his speciality

• utilise this power I give thee against bigoted trolls.
