no you guys dont understand RAPUNZEL IS GERMAN FOR A CERTAIN TYPE OF LETTUCE
I WOULD BE SAD IF PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT WAS A TYPE OF LETTUCE BECAUSE THE STORY OF RAPUNZEL SHE IS LITERALLY NAMED AFTER LETTUCE.
no her name means never give up
NONONONOOOO!!!!!!!! IN THE ORIGINAL STORY RAPUNZEL’S MOM GETS CRAVINGS!!! WHEN SHE LOOKS OUT THE WINDOW, SHE SEES SOME RAPUNZEL, AND IS LIKE “iF I DONT HAVE SO OF THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW, I WILL CHOKE SOMEONE!” WELL, OF COURSE THE FUCKING GARDEN BELONGS TO A WITCH, BECAUSE NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS AT THE BEGINNING OF A FAIRYTALE! sO, HER HUBBY SNEAKS OVER, AND GETS HER SOME.THEN, HE GETS CAUGHT, AND IN PUNISHMENT, HE HAS TO GIVE UP HIS BABY WHEN SHE’S BORN. sO THE WITCH LOCKS HER IN A TOWER, AND NAMES HER RAPUNZEL AFTER THE FUCKING LETTUCE. I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU GET THE IDEA THAT HER NAME MEANS NEVER GIVE UP, BUT IT’S WRONG . FUCKITY BYE!
IT MEANS NE\/ER GI\/E UP.
Well her mother never did give up on that fucking lettuce did she
I WATCHED A CARTOON OF RAPUNZEL WHEN I WAS REALLY SMALL AND I’M 98% SURE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH LETTUCE
buT GUYS

favorite linguist joke and i will never not reblog it
HA
in Canada they don’t pronounce Z as “zee”
they pronounce it as “zed” and that is crazy to me
it sounds like they made a typo when they invented it
They do that everywhere in the world that’s not America. We do that here in the UK too.
America is weird man.#i love it when america’s like lol canada amiright??#and the rest of the worlds like nah bro its literally only you that does it different
Everybody talks about prophets and how they are born with stars in their mouths, how they love the dirtiest of the dirty and the holiest of the holy but how come nobody ever talks about the unwilling prophet? The prophet who collects the stars he breathes only to stuff it back into his mouth. The prophet who yells at God, “YOU STUPID BASTARD. YOU MADE A MISTAKE!” The prophet who refuses to weave his precious words around lost peoples, who refuses to accept Christ’s holy wounds, picking and probing at them, letting them fester in the open air. The prophet who doesn’t listen to dead saints who whisper him ancient secrets, voices dripping like honeyed wine. The prophet who yells and screeches, baring his wolf-like teeth, light leaking from his angry eyes so they burn anyone who dares to look upon him with adoration. How come nobody talks about him?

a practical guide to becoming a true pun master
- accept that no pun is actually Good, but that the true nature of a good pun is to be so terrible that it becomes good.
- say every pun that occurs to you. i’m so serious about this, sometimes the most well received puns will be ones you considered not saying.
- ALWAYS laugh at your own puns, even if nobody else is. (especially if nobody else is.)
- know that you are hilarious. puns are a limitless resource and you have taken it as your duty to bring this gift to humanity. you are a hero.
Translator needed to reverse spell. As a second opinion is vital right now.
Hold please.
Honestly, Kevin said this was cuneiform - but it isn’t, not entirely. It’s a fun mix of Hittite, Slavic, cuneiform (of which there are two-three types), early Mesopotamian, etc. It’s not just one language.
as, [de (cuneiform), eks (Lycian)], , [ku, ug, ur/or (cuneiform)]
__ [wa,du, up,ub, ba] __ ga
__ du __ __
[udu if cuneiform, j if Futhark] __ [return?] __
udu = sheep
____
_ to go ___
__ return ___
Sheep _____
(English from here, where I plugged in words that might appear and got a match,)
That’s as much as I have now, but I’m sure someone better at this than me will be able to actually get it figured out.
Bottom second-to-last one is “sa” with a funky doo-dad over the s. I’m laughing at sheep.
Well, I thought it might be “blood of the sheep” or “sheep’s heart” or something, but I’m about 90% sure it’s not. Maybe it’s an allegorical sheep from which the allegorical wool over their eyes is formed.
Also, apparently ‘de’ in Enochian is ‘attainment’ (of which an English gloss is probably ‘just ‘attain’) and ‘sa’ is ‘carry (you)’, which makes the general form of the page as near as I can tell ‘Attain these to return home, also a sheep is somehow involved and you carry it’.
What, like, Jesus sheep? …Grown-up Jesus sheep? A RACRIFICE?!
Just jumping in to add: shepherd. Perhaps it’s “shepherd” instead of just sheep…
Wait, that’s not udu. Udu is sideways a bit and the points are wrong. It’s:
God, no wonder Kevin’s so fucking confused.
Whoops messed up earlier. Should be
____
______
__to go___
Sheep/shepherd___return___
If we assume an OVS sentence structure, the last line means ‘Return the sheep/shepherd to Place X”. (castopsdeanbottoms pointed out it could also mean shepherd.)
So it might be reversible. ‘Shepherd’ may be a figurative way of referring to Jesus, Cas, Metatron, or an as-yet-unintroduced angel.
I’ll keep snooping around. Re: your point that it’s not udu. A diamond with lines is the closest I could find. If it is three-one-triangle, it could be the syllable ‘hi’, which…fuck. ‘Hi’ is Enochian for ‘woe’, according to the handy-dandy online translator. I’m going to plug in what I currently have and see what happens.
Sons of pleasure, attainment ___ man
__[up, thorn(s)]__
__to go__
Woe __
So maybe a gloss could be
Sons of pleasure [possible reference to Eden???], attainment of becoming men
[up/thorns]
To go
Woe is returned to carry you
Putting it together, a sketchy base translation could be ‘Sons of pleasure who have attained manhood, to go up requires woe to carry you’. Which fits with “Can’t be reversed, they have to die human to return to heaven”. I’ll keep snooping around.
And yes, no wonder Kevin is confused. Poor Kevin.
I realize I probably confused everyone, so here’s a helpful picture summary of what’s been done so far:
So really, we’re halfway there! (Whoaa, livin’ on a prayer)
(castiel-angelofthelord, I’m not sure if you’re keeping track of reblogs, but I promise we’re working on it still.)
Also Cas cut his hand on a thorn last episode. May be relevant.
thats great so far! reblogging for my followers to see too, also, I was looking around and I cant remember where from but the last one i thought was Day or Sun. but either way, it was daylight vibed. it has a line through it so maybe midday. or half the sun ( eclipse) or something.
I wish i knew what the little dead pacman - shot through the heart with the arrow ) lol , was tho..
I love you all guys
so far this is starting to sound suspiciously like “carry on my wayward son”
Woah!!!
Don’t you give me a headcanon that fits with God being Chuck because he would totally put this and finding it poetic that his Word was “Carry on my wayward son” because no.
And fuck the lyrics now fit more than ever.
“Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high”
"I hear the voices when I’m dreaming,
I can hear them say”
"Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life’s no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you”
"Carry on my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry,
Don’t you cry no more”
Mi papá tiene 47 años= my dad is 47 years old
Mi papa tiene 47 anos= my potato has 47 assholes
I love spanish
A capital letter changes it even further:
Mi Papa tiene 47 anos = My pope has 47 anuses
