there was no name for the Gothic style of architecture until the 15th century – until then it was just architecture. Modern, cutting-edge stuff. ‘Gothic’ was used pejoratively in the Renaissance to describe things that were crude, rustic or uncivilised, and the style went out of fashion for a few hundred years until the 18th century, when people said “look at all this gross old shit.” then they thought about it and conceded “I guess it’s kind of cool.” and then they knelt down, caressed the stone, and whispered “it’s also a little bit sexy”

those “monkey brain/human brain” posts except the monkey brain is presented as the rational one

monkey brain: extra body hair provides warmth and producing it but then cutting it off wastes valuable nutrients

human brain: hehe leg smooth

*looking at a tiger*

monkey brain: that animal right there is a dangerous predator adapted for stalking, chasing, and quickly dispatching of creatures like us. we should find high ground to get away from it before it sees us

human brain: hehe kitty wana pet

monkey brain: the ocean is the last place we want to be right now. we’re not built to swim and we’ll likely drown within five minutes. and let’s not even get into what might want to kill us once we get into open water

human brain: wheee swimmy

ok do you guys remember those Capri Sun “RESPECT THE POUCH, RESPECT IT!” ads where children would deface a Capri Sun pouch in some way and then suffer some karmic punishment thematically connected to the way they disrespected pouch

then there were Airheads commercials where eating an airhead would turn your head into a balloon

and there were Fruit Gusher ads similar to that except your head turned into an enormous piece of fruit

what happened where for this brief period of time (in america at least) it was decided the best way to get kids to buy fruit themed junk food was to imply there was some kind of chaotic evil force that would let you sip its sweet nectar and feast on its fruit, but only if you were willing to sacrifice your state of existence and obey the artificially flavored outer gods

listen all this stuff about lesbians being dumb…bottoms can’t drive…gays can’t do maths…I believe none of this. these are tumblr geek traits, and furthermore it is a known tumblr geek trait to be self-deprecating. do not slander all lesbians gays bottoms and bottom aligneds like this. somewhere out there, there is a femme bottom, living her best life, driving fast and doing triple integrals at the same time…and she believes in you.
