“And already in the early seventeenth century, Ole Worm in Denmark, Johannes Bureus in Sweden, and Jón Guðmundsson lærði in Iceland, for example, had interested themselves in, and were independently collecting, specimens of Nordic folklife and folklore.”

(Stephen A. Mitchell, Old Norse Folklore: Tradition, Innovation and Performance in Medieval Scandinavia, p. 11)

so I have always hated the words stalactite and stalagmite. annoying beyond words there should even be a need to differentiate. so I go to look up who coined the phrase to see who I should curse until the end of my days and...

OLE WORM?? HIS NAME WAS OLE WORM????

Danish alchemist and naturalist Ole Worm/ Olaus Wormius had as one of his great discoveries, the discovery that lemmings do, in fact, have genitals, and thus probably reproduce sexualy and are not spontaneously generated out of snow.

He also doubted the idea that maggots are creatures of pure corruption and are spawned spontaneously by the rotting of meat, but he couldn't find thier junk (because he didnt know they are juvenile flies and didn't check the flies).

This is what a lot of medieval natural histories are like.

sqh raising luo binghe bc the wash lady never happened bc the timeline's altered and subsequently mbj finds out or qinghua tells him (pre-established moshang) and qinghua is hmmn . freaking the fuck out bc wdym his stallion protag is a colicky newborn baby that won't go to bed unless he's rocked, swaddled, and cuddled by sqh (mobei-jun's heart shattered when baby binghe cried when sqh handed him off for a second before putting him to bed, he's still nursing his bruised ego) . this is his beloved if bloodthirsty son who is 75% cheek and 25% baby fat, it is a miracle he ever goes to his jobs when his son is so cute and tiny and why did he not write cameras into PIDW !!! no amount of portraiture would capture his sweet boy looking up at him all cute and tiny and never to be captured on camera. moshang being dads co-parenting binghe and everyone being confused bc everyone thought mobei-jun would finally marry and make qinghua consort shang but to each their own . co-parenting and then oh my god they're not even together yet are they? posing for family portraits together with romantic tension thick enough to start choking everyone out of the room. qinghua and mobei-jun looking next to dead bc binghe has never slept thru the night and sqh feels like he hasn't had a good night's rest since he transmigrated into PIDW . also maybe make it omegaverse

chat i am reaching a new level of brainrot where i'm now drawing my drone characters in religious attire corresponding to my own beliefs

like what the actual fuck. there's ties to catholism in this show, so i might as well draw my characters in germanic paganistic regalia and have them wave antlers because fuck you, that's why

who's gonna stop me, the romans?

One of the things I love about One Piece is their depiction of pain. Even for Luffy. There are time when he is hit and he writhes and screams. There are times when he doesn’t, and he is stoic. It’s a really valuable lesson that feeling pain deeply is, at times, just as noble as concealing it. No matter how strong a character is, sometimes they writhe and scream and cry. Sometimes they fail miserably and feel as if their world is out of their control. It shows that even the strongest characters experience pain in the most excruciating of ways. I always was really affected by that, because despite how much pain a a straw hat is in, they get back up. When things look the worst, they come back stronger than ever to conquer it. It makes them so much more human to me.

I also like the concept that Luffy isn’t as used to pain as the others and has a lower tolerance. He has been a rubber man since he was a child, so he doesn’t really get cuts and scratches or broken bones. He never got to build up that tolerance. It makes the scene where he takes a beating for Ace and Sabo even more significant and emotional because this kid who sees pain as a concept that is somewhat foreign is willing to take amounts of pain that even regular adults couldn’t bear. I’m sure his tolerance has been building since the start of the show, but I genuinely think it’s something to consider. This kid who is virtually indestructible, who is relatively hard to hurt, and who is relatively unconditioned to being uncomfortable in his body (like being sore or pulling a muscle) and hurting, is constantly taking a crazy ass beating for those he loves, but also those he barely even knows. Pain is significant to him, yes, but he is willing to put all of his suffering aside for the sake of people who have done right by him. Whether it be saving his life in Alabasta, or buying him a few lunches with their last few cents in Dressrosa; he will always suffer greatly in order to do right by the people he values.
