realized that the source of my misery isn’t actually being chronically online in general… but it’s instagram….

what is Pax Silica, why should Filipinos pay attention, and why we should reject it?

I did my own research and tried to explain it in the simplest and easiest way to understand. if i missed anything, feel free to add credible sources or corrections.

trust me this method carried me when i was writing my paper on norse christian syncretism last year. got to a point where i used a book that eggers used as his reference for the northman for MY reference in my paper. i felt so goated when i found that out last week.

[rai 🫀 @CagesOfRye]

there are websites out there dedicated to historians’ work! me personally when i wanna research something abt the medieval period i always go to https://t.co/faddJMqKz6 bc it’s run by experts in the field. it also helps to look at sources from the wiki page of ur subject LOL

[shiv de lioncourt @ripleyesque]

genuinely asking as an aspiring filmmaker, where do you even find such niche and old texts for research?

sometimes i catch myself wanting to smoke. i haven't tried it before.

[rai 🫀 @CagesOfRye]

main reason to the trite depictions of medieval europe is that ppl don't actually draw from its history but from more recent works inspired by it </3 trust me when u actually research it there is SO MUCH u can talk abt from that time. it's kind of incredible.

[al. 𓁩 @cowboyfantome]

my unpopular opinion about fantasy in general is that it should take inspirations from antiquity more often, medieval europe is a bit boring now

i love this man as though he were my own family

[rai 🫀 @CagesOfRye]

and also bc it's a very desaturated movie so u wouldn't even be seeing those colors anyway. whatever

[rai 🫀 @CagesOfRye]

this is one instance where i accept the usage of drab colors in a medieval movie bc bro imagine watching something scary and horrific but everyone is wearing brightly dyed tunics and shit

The first trailer for Robert Eggers' ‘WERWULF’ has been released.

In theaters on December 25.

[rai 🫀 @CagesOfRye]

my steak too juicy my lobster too buttery

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Robert Eggers confirms that the dialogue in ‘WERWULF’ is all 1300s Middle English.

“We worked with 2 Oxford professors on the dialogue, which is in Middle English, & then worked with a dialect coach on a way to temper the pronunciation”

all roads lead to the distorted male perception of women 💔💔

[rai 🫀 @CagesOfRye]

ifl a lot of this can also be paralleled with the way western writers often oversexualize female heroes as a way to still keep them marketable for a male audience while trying to uphold the “strong/empowered woman” figure that women were fighting for.
