i hope this doesn’t come off in a bad way because that’s definitely not how i intend it, but i had the weird observation the other day that nearly every autistic friend i’ve ever had (and i’ve had many, as having ADHD means we have a lot of common traits and Relatable Feels in the hyperfocusing/sensory overload departments) has been a meme-loving fuck

i don’t just mean a simple meme farmer, either–i’m talking about meme connoisseurs who are always up-to-date with the latest memes and can trace their origins with alarming precision

as a meme-loving fuck myself, this has always been something i’ve enjoyed, but then i talk to my allistic and particularly entirely-neurotypical friends or send them memes and so many of them just…don’t Get It

A) #confirmed

B) My running theory is that this has to do with the fact that memes are simultaneously very formulaic- making them easy to pick up on- and very specialized- meaning there’s a metric fuckload of cool research and background you can get into for every single one of them and they tend to mesh into each other in fascinating ways.

It’s a perfect storm of having a very low cost of admission, in terms of what it takes to understand a given meme, and an enormous amount of theory and research you can fixate on and lose yourself in for days.

also!! memes can be easily used to express emotions and situations, and bond with other people. communicating the concept “I feel this way, and have observed others expressing that they feel this way as well” or “the situation that you have described is similar to my own” can be hard — We Are All [X] is simple and evocative.

memes can function as fun and effective scripts for communication with other people who know them :0)

The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks

Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages

Oh, my hand

The parchment is very hairy

Thank God it will soon be dark

St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing

Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink

Oh d fuckin abbot

Massive hangover

Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job

Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night

If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral

I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today

Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark

11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again

Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God

If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen

Hi Tumblr and Happy New Year 2K17 !

I’m trully sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ve been working hard trying to make something of my art.

Here’s good news, I should be working on my own comic this year !

It’s called The Golden Path and it will be a tribute to stuntwomen in movies during HK’s golden era.

I’ll keep you updated with it, thanks again for the support and don’t hesitate to come visit us on the PocketDojo :
