In Chrétien’s love triangle of Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot, Guinevere consummated her love affair with Lancelot when Arthur and his knights are trying to rescue Guinevere from the land of Gorre. It has been suggested that Chrétien invented their affair to supply Guinevere with a courtly extramarital lover (as requested by his patroness, princess Marie); Mordred could not be used as his reputation was beyond saving, and Yder had been forgotten entirely.[36] This version has become popular. Today it is most familiar from its expansion in the prose cycles, where Lancelot comes to her rescue on more than one occasion.

The Knight of the Cart is believed to have been a story assigned to him by Marie de Champagne, and completed not by Chrétien himself, but by the clerk known as Godefroi de Leigni.[3] A 12th-century French writer usually functioned as a part of a team, or a workshop attached to the court. It is believed that in the production of The Knight of the Cart, Chrétien was provided with source material (or matiere), as well as a san, or a derivation of the material. The matiere in this case would refer to the story of Lancelot, and the san would be his affair with Guinevere. Marie de Champagne was well known for her interest in affairs of courtly love, and is believed to have suggested the inclusion of this theme into the story. For this reason, it is said that Chrétien could not finish the story himself because he did not support the adulterous themes.[4]

So apparently medieval literature had a concept of fan fiction and Lancelot as we know him was the product of Princess Marie commissioning a story where Guinevere fucks a hot guy

Geo Glam

Short for ‘Geometric-Glamorous’, this is the mid 1970s - mid 1980s “luxurious materials + geometric forms” design aesthetic, sometimes referred to as “cocaine decor”.

…Is it? Is that a common enough alternative name? You see that in the architecture coffee table books?

When I see interior design with that many untextured surfaces I unironically do think of cocaine.

Because otherwise you have mirrors sitting on countertops everywhere. I’d see that with thirtysomething LA.

Please hit me up if you know where I can find more of these surreal ~2014 (?) 4chan memes of female NEETs that I find incredibly compelling

You fools. You can’t see the forest through the trees. This is literally revelations, complete with the mother harlot, the four horsemen, the behemoth with seven heads, and various other imagery. 

In care you think I’m joking. Revelations 17:18 is when the whore of Babylon is mentioned. 

this is a quote from Anne mccarfferey (wrote dragon riders of pern)

Revelations 7:13 

  A great multitude stand before the Throne of God, who come out of the Great Tribulation, clothed with robes made “white in the blood of the Lamb” and having palm branches in their hands. (7:9–17)

Seventh Trumpet: The Third Woe that leads into the seven bowls (11:15–19)
The temple of God opens in heaven, where the ark of His covenant can be seen. There are lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

This is a quote from “ The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to follow the Bible as Literally as Possible “

In the book, Jacobs discusses biblical rules, both the obscure and the well-known, and tries to follow them as literally as possible. He even attempts to stone an adulterer and to offer animal sacrifice. He also goes to visit numerous religious groups in order to show their particular views on the Bible, as well as their methods of worship.

Do I even need to explain the four horses?

I dont feel like looking for more, but here you go.

this is thousands of times more terrifying and foreboding than anything else ive seen come out of 4chan

Ohhh, Death rides upon a pale horse. I just got that.

“gen z is so loud and rude and disrespectful!” good. they might actually accomplish something.

– Gen Z

Seriously, from over-drawing lessons from the 60s – and specifically, the 90s’ reinterpretation of the 60s to flatter and intellectualize the Boomers fully coming into their own as heirs to the country, and the lessons learned under later periods built on that 90s understanding – there’s this widespread youth sense that “if I’m not getting my way, it’s because I haven’t been enough of a brat about it!”

But that understanding could only bear so much weight, the 2010s was a festival of putting too much on it, and now it’s fallen through. And the rest of society has realized it doesn’t need to placate those brats, or win an argument against them, just stop taking them seriously and let it wither on the vine. You already saw it with “defund the police”!

And reimplement the pre-60s – pre-90s, really – understanding of things, which is, “you act in a way acceptable to the rest of society, and in particular your seniors running the established order, or the hammer comes down”

When I was taking Blue Bitch up from LA that one time I passed through Ukiah where they were having some sort of harvest festival, I guess on the pretense that anyone grew wholesome legal crops around there, and one of the booths was Wal-Mart, where they were just giving away vendor-level food and bags of candy, I also took a card that referenced their hopes to build a store on the edge of town. So they were cultivating goodwill, for political purposes.

That’s why ‘90s Wal-Mart was all about not selling pornography, and music only with Bowdlerized lyrics – so as to appear congruent with rural culture (that over the '80s had been significantly redefined in religious-moral terms) for political purposes, to lubricate local government approval processes their business depended on.

So if you’re trying to influence major retailers re: queer stuff in culture that’s one angle. A significant difference though is that Wal-Mart already largely built out through rural America in the early-mid 90s (and Target in inner suburbs and exurbs in the late 90s-early 2000s). And of course the big box model entirely faces challenge from online retail now, so all the pieces are going to be in slightly different places with different angles between them.

Appreciated all the little white flowers that just fell on the tree in the middle of the backyard, must not have been back there this season in prior years.

The area that was my belly’s “top roll of fat” but then receded to a consolidated stomach with and barely distinguishable from the “bottom roll” had continued to recede but only slightly more than the ex-bottom roll, but now it’s totally clearing out.

Have apparently habituated myself to morning coffee-from-concentrate but had a slightly disrupted routine this morning, missed it, and just wallowed in a muddy haze for an hour cause my “do I need caffeine?” sense is still going partially off mood I guess and I was upbeat and optimistic the whole time.

also me: that’s because that was only 26 years before you moved to LA, 18 years ago.

I suspect you could probably draw a line between those posts complaining that what’s being marketed as 1990s nostalgia is really just mislabelled 1980s nostalgia, and those posts remarking that it’s become okay to make fun of the 1950s now because the principal object of reactionary nostalgia is no longer an alternate 1950s with no civil rights movement, but an alternate 1980s with no AIDS crisis.

I think it’s more that the “lost golden age” has been updated from The 50s to The 90s.
