The Dark Ages were made up by big Rennessance to sell you more paintings

Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.

And now Kuwabara made Monster Centerpid.

(I could say: "Monster Skewer/Shish Kebab... but alusion to Human Centerpid was funnier.)

Me, seeing Byakko: Okay, a Tiger-Man Beast. Nothing spectacular, but I guess you can't go wrong with the classic "giant tiger monster".

Byakko: *takes off some of his hair and turns it into monsters straight out of Doom*

Me: Ooooh, getting creative, I see, Yu Yu Hakusho.

Kuwabara starts to show off his spirit sword and I'm like: "Yeah, yeah, it's cool and all, but you can stop now. Don't waste your energy because you won't have to any for the fight."

Like, you get what I want to say? When he made this sword, I keep on thinking about how he has to use his own energy to maintain it the way it is.

Edit:

Kuwabara: *falls down*

Kuwabara: Don't worry, guys. The sowrd sometimes makes me feel dizzy.

Me: Oh, I was right!

Technically the damnation wasn't for "anyone who entered" because Ancient Egyptians were leaving sacrifices for their dead.

The curses were for assholes entering the tombs to rob it or desacrate it.

Tired: finding a sealed tomb from Egypt or some other non white culture and declaring it cursed

Wired: doing the same for the catholics

The post about Nicene Creed gets traction, so it's a good moment to mention something I wanted to talk about during this year's Lent.

Probably you are aware that there is shortened version of Niecene Creed, called Apostles' Creed. You may ask why I bring this up.

See, there is a religious song that I really like and often listen to that rephrases the Apostles' Creed to make it more poetic and rhtyhmic. The song is called Psalm Apostolski (Apostles' Psalm) and sounds like this:

The chorus line is:

Z nocy bezsennych składam pacierze (Of sleepless I gather my prayers) O dar największy dar wielkiej wiary (For the greatest gift, the gift of great faith) W to co się nie da zważyć i zmierzyć ([Faith] in what can't be weighted nor measured) Z miłości Boga nie z bożej kary (From the God's love, not from devine punishment) Błagam o wielki dar błagam o wielki dar (I beg for the great gift, I beg for the great gift) Błagam o wielki dar wielkiej wiary (I beg for the great gift of the great faith) Błagam o wielki dar błagam o wielki dar (I beg for the great gift, I beg for the great gift) Błagam o wielki dar wielkiej wiary (I beg for the great gift of the great faith)

And my favorite line of the song is:

W to że raz jeszcze Bóg wysłucha (In that God will listen again) Grzesznika choćby był największy (Even to the greatest sinner) Wierzę (I believe) Wierzę (I believe)

I love it. One of my favorite religious songs.

Kuroma starts to fight, brandishing his rose whip and I've got Saint Seyia flashback of Virgo Knight also fighting with roses.

From this arc where they were foing through the Zodiac Signs' houses, because Athena got pierced by an arrow... It was a whole thing.

(One day I will rewatch that anime too.)

Writing is not about 'telling an epic story' or 'making something that will outlive you'. Writing is about going "You know what would be fucking awesome?" and then committing word crimes

Holy shit, Spy x Family: Code White is going to be aired in Polsih theatres since April 26th!

I know what I will be doing this week.

This might sound weird but I'm both surprised and not surprised.

Surprised, because I thought that My Hero Academia will be higher.

Unsurpired, because, well, it's Brooklyn Nine-Nine that is source of many tumblr's memes and all those "incorrect quote" blogs.

I will probably start a rewatch after May, because I'm planning to make the next month Indiana Jones-themed.

I'm not promising anything, but I want to see which of those you want to see me tuckle.

Kurama and Hiei came!

And the Urameshi Team is born.

I know this an old-school supernatural/superhero anime. And I know that most of the time these kind of stories have the on-oging subplot about the hero not telling his love interest about what actually is going on and even lying to her to do his job, because he wants to protects her or something.

But I really feel for Keiko. She wanted a nice outing with her two friends, they told her they will be back in five minutes but she will probably spend the whole screening of the movie alone in the cinema. She will feel abandoned and hurt.

And it's not like she wouldn't believe in supernatural. Not after this whole "Yusuke talking to her in her dream and being revived by a kiss" situation.

Just tell her, dudes.

Edit:

OH, NOW, WHEN HE'S STANDING NEXT TO PIT TO HELL, HE REMEMBERS ABOUT KEIKO!

Keiko: What are you talking about, guys?

Kuwabara: Nothing. We just...?

Yusuke: We just want to go to the movies, that's all!

Keiko: Cool! I know some great foreign movie!

Me: Keiko, the cinema chick confirmed!

Motivational speech disguised as a trash talk from your rival.

A shonen classic.

Edit:

Basically this, with some variations.

Holy shit, the Krillin knock-off broke Kuwabara's arm like a twig!

I'm on episode 10 and this anime actually gives me some Shaman King vibes.

Like, this whole tournament in the dark reminds me of that part where Yoh had to train in the seonsory-depravation cave to enhance his spirit power.

Edit:

Also Kuwabara is like Ryunosuke Umemiya.
