The quote “Then perish.” Goes hard, I’m sure.

But there’s just something that goes even harder if you replace it with a blunt “Then fall, Caesar.”

*NO THIS ISN’T ABOUT THE IDES OF MARCH*

“Then fall, Caesar.”

*HE STABS HIM*

it's literally the art history version of "then perish"

it's Portrait of Painter Elizabeta Nikolayevna Zvantseva by Ilya Repin:

and here's a rough meme-ified version I did:

okay that's it I just simply had to share this with y'all

Wouldn’t be the last quarter of a Locked Tomb book without some incredible meme references out of the blue…

Really, tumblr offers one of the best examples of semiotics in action that I can think of on the internet. So much of the humor and interactions on this site revolve around the collective understanding of images to communicate. Semiotics comes down to signs and how we read them. We can apply this to language but so much of semiotic understanding is non-verbal, which is what makes tumblr kind of unique from this perspective. If I posted:

You’d understand it. While this meme has spread somewhat, it has a meaning on tumblr that we can easily divine.

Semiotics is (basically) the study of the communication of signs and symbols. In order for something to have meaning you must have a signifier (the method of communication), the signified (what is being communicated), which both work together to form the sign (the signal that something is being communicated).

If I posted an image of Castiel saying “I love you” in another ecosystem, some people might get it but most people wouldn’t. They don’t have the ability to understand that there is a sign there. But if I posted that same image on tumblr, your heart would stop a little bit because you’d expect some fucked up news to be delivered.

Same with “I like your shoelaces.” Said to a random person they’d have no idea what the fuck I was on about. Said to a tumblr user? They’d know. In this case the signifier is the phrase “I like your shoelaces” and the signified is “I know you’re on tumblr.” If you’re not on tumblr you don’t know the “correct” response.

The meme ecosystems of other websites certainly function in similar ways but what makes tumblr unique is our inability to let jokes fucking die. Memes and jokes become part of the linguistic ecosystem and become legitimate methods of communication.

This is what you mean when you say “we’re speaking in hieroglyphs.” You’re not necessarily wrong when you say that (hieroglyphs, like all written language, being a form of semiotic expression) but what you’re actually doing is reaching a kind of semiotic oneness with the larger tumblr culture that enables you to decipher and discern meaning where an outsider might not.

And that fucking rips so fucking hard.
