Resolution/Doomsday parallel
Based off of this postOh, this is an excellent parallel!
Not only do they look similar but they have similar thought subtly different effects on the Dalek. Both times the Doctor is the Dalek’s Baba Yaga.
Rose invoked the Doctor’s name, savoring the fear the Doctor induced in the Dalek in ‘Resolution’ the Doctor herself is enjoying the frisson of fear she caused. Thirteen’s face is framed in shadow and flickering fire, while Rose’s face is under bright lights.
Compare and Contrast, and one is not like the other.

do the spiderverse kids all have. slightly different meme cultures
miles: look I can fit my whole fist in my mouth
gwen: freaky flexing. but alright
miles:
miles, through his fist: I’m sorry what did you just say
ok but remember Peter B’s world is most like ours
so both Miles and Gwen would have slightly off memes and distress him when he has a hard enough time remembering his own world’s memes
I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD POINT THIS OUT.
Miles: It’s “strange flex but cool beans.”
Peter: Am I tripping on something? Is this a stroke, is this what a stroke feels like? -
will olaf and minions ever end. will i be forced to live the rest of my life occasionally seeing olaf and minions

Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??
Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!
(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)
Picture from: https://www.museumhalland.se/bockstensmannen/kladerna/
His kjortel (the clothing for his upper body)
He got a mantel that resemble a poncho
It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.
A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end
Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!
Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.
Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)
Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…
All pictures from
When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes
Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.
But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life
The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing

A lot of deep sea creatures are coloured red, but since the colour blends in so well with dark water it just ends up looking black or dark blue.
In short, combined with the horn-like crown, submerged home, and pitchfork/trident, Poseidon is just another name for the Devil.
Humans misinterpret Hell as an underground cavern of fire, when in reality, it’s a boiling sea floor stoked by hydrothermal vents and exposed magma.
Dante describes the Ninth circle of hell as being where traitors are crushed in a dark frozen lake, which sounds like deep sea trenches or brine pools
Notice how the only thing demons and mermaids have in common is dragging human souls down?
There’s a reason why sailors used to call mermaids “Sea Demons”.
This post is prying open my third eye with a crowbar

…I just woke up from a dream in which there was an app that notified you when nearby LARPs needed an NPC, and you could, like, go pretend to be a surly shopkeeper or whatever and get paid, like, $10 for it.
damn now i want this to be an actual thing.

I have had the honor of working on two different comics projects with Don Hertzfeldt. Flight, and Fusion Future. But this is the story of my first interaction with the man.
