"We're gonna be talking about the BOOBY! We'll be talking about the WOODCOCK! Do you think that's FUNNY, Butthead? Do you find it AMUSING that we'll be talking about the SWALLOW? Yes, we're also gonna be talking about the DICKCISSEL, the BUSHTIT, the COCK-OF-THE-ROCK, the SHAG... and we will DEFINITELY be spending a LOT of time talking about...GREAT TITS!!"

Here's a mock-up of what Phase 3 looked like in my dream:

I had a weird dream about a secret fight (route?) in Undertale Yellow

SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR UTY AHEAD

So, in the dream, I found out that if you told Ceroba about reality being a game (I believe shortly before one of her fights, though I'm not sure which route it was, I think it didn't resemble any route in the game) through various dialogue options, she would suddenly become a glitchy form of herself and start a battle with you.

This Glitchy Form of Ceroba (apparently called Ceruca according to the wiki) had 4 or 5 phases, all of which had a different appearance, and all of which could be easily defeated with a single attack, and she did nothing but speak garbled gibberish.

After this fight, you would proceed into this very long horizontal pathway, whose tiles remind me of those in the original Undertale's New Home, but with some slight Bisexual lighting, though the background was completely pitch black.

After that, every time you tried to talk to Flowey, for some reason, he would also speak in Garbled Gibberish, much like Ceruca.

I don't remember anything else after that.

The person I am arguing with just said that they will not be responding to me anymore because they decided that they 'don't have to justify anything anymore'; I guess I'll count this as a win?

I do have to advise everyone who sees this post to NOT go harass them, perhaps they are misguided, but I don't think they are a bad person, they're just doing what they think is right, even if it isn't; I doubt I have enough reach to really worry about anyone harassing them, but the world likes to throw a curveball sometimes.

If I ever get into a Tumblr argument again I'll probably make another blog just for arguments (and politics probably) so that my followers and mutuals don't have to worry about me going politics mode on their feeds.

I don’t think you’ve done this one yet, but what do ya think of the first scene with the mario bros commercial?

We're going to get into some headcanon territory, so be prepared!

This commercial definitely has the vibe of two guys who said “let’s make a commercial!” but had no experience in film.

I'm calling it now: Mario wrote the script and Luigi wrote the jingle.

It starts out pretty professional looking during the song, with the moving shots and camera zooms. In the middle it gets a little messy with the overuse of green screens and the powerpoint-style scene transitions. By the end of the commercial it's all hard cuts and static shots that linger a little too long. You can see the already-limited budget run out before your very eyes.

Speaking of, it feels like they filmed the final few scenes in one take, especially that actress who flubbed the cue-card reading. 

"It seems like the only thing that you haven't drained... is my bank account. ???" Oh, c'mon lady, that is a fantastic line.

The fake accents? The little yellow superhero capes? The terrible puns? I get the commercial is intentionally silly... but boy does it feel like something that was written at 2 a.m by the power of black coffee and foolhardy ambition.

Mario is quite the showman! Especially if he did these scenes in one take! He’s got great energy, good body language, and an enthusiasm in his line delivery that shines through the goofy accent. He doesn’t look uncomfortable, he’s chewing the scenery like a champ!

When Luigi has a script to follow, or when he’s doing something in tandem with his brother, he looks good! But whenever he’s directed to stand in the background without anything specific to do he’s so awkward.

He slips and nearly falls over when leaning against the van, and whenever he doesn’t know what to do with his body his go-to move is to just nod in agreement. He nods in agreement like... 3 times in one 35 second commercial. 

I don’t think the hug at the end was part of the script given the way Luigi glances over at his brother, but he looks pleasantly surprised. His face immediately lights up as Mario finishes out the commercial by holding him in a side hug. 10/10, I'd hire them to destroy my house.

And as the camera zooms out, Mario and Luigi are seen embracing each other proudly while watching the TV.  They're so darned happy with themselves. Absolute dorks.

i know everyone’s dunking on james somerton but i think people are missing out on internet historian’s fans coping so badly that they aren’t finishing the video

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

They. They forgor
