For SOME REASON (*looks pointedly at Agnes Nutter*) this comes up a lot in the Good Omens fandom and I thought it might be useful to have a reference out there for folks who are interested!
(And to be clear: I personally do not think it is a big deal if you don’t get it right, I’m not here for judging anyone’s ability to correctly use pronouns that went out of fashion several centuries ago. But I know people like to know this stuff.)
1. Thou & Thee
The difference here is the same as the difference between I & Me or She & Her - the first one is the subject of the sentence (doing the action) and the second one is the object of the sentence (having the action done to them). So the pattern is:
“I gave her a flaming sword” vs “She gave me a flaming sword.”
“Thou gave me a flaming sword.” vs “I gave thee a flaming sword”
“Thou gave her a flaming sword” vs “She gave thee a flaming sword”
2. Thy & Thine
Similarly, the difference here is the same as between My & Mine and Her & Hers.
“I gave away my flaming sword!”
“Thou gave away thy flaming sword?!” (Greek Chorus: ”She gave away her flaming sword??!”)
“It was mine to give away!”
“And it was also thine to keep…” (Greek Chorus: “And hers to lose, and hers to seek…”)
3. BUT SOMETIMES THE AESTHETIC
You do sometimes use “thine” in places where grammatically it should be “thy”, for the same reason as the most famous example of using “mine” in a place where it should be “my”:
MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD
– simply because “eyes” starts with a vowel and “my eyes” is slightly more difficult to sing when you’ve got important grape-trampling to be getting on with. So a Mighty Angel Of The Lord who was feeling particularly poetic and hoping to inspire a few songs might appear before some poor goatherder and declare:
“Avert thine eyes oh mortal, lest thy sight be robbed from thee by glory!”
But honestly, just like most modern songs are quite happy using “my eyes”, I personally think if you just stick to the one rule to avoid confusion, it’s also fine:
“Avert thy eyes oh mortal, lest thy sight be– wait where art thou going get back here I’ve got a message to deliver– oh bugger.”
I now understand what it is to be alive :)
Friend like Venom…
Hm…I don’t think he’s supposed to see that.
Existential crisis averted!
Stealing this idea from the last post I reblogged since it was from the pre-poll days
As always, reblog this so we can get better data

take it.
I’ve recently (like 30 mins ago help) seen that Article 13 is a thing and...let’s just say I have concerns.
If Article 13 is put into place as it is right now then loads of YouTubers will loose their jobs. Social media sites (especially Tumblr) could crumble. Fandom content will be deleted and stopped.
I don’t know as much as others do, but I’m looking further into it.
MatPat’s Video explains it better: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GbXHrj8k7dg
Here is a petition to change Article 13: https://www.change.org/p/european-parliament-stop-the-censorship-machinery-save-the-internet

Nothing will change if we don’t do something

Pizzeria Simulator and UCN are still free on Steam. And last I checked, Help Wanted might be too powerful to run on p.c. I tried it on my laptop and wouldn't work.
disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I'm just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.
if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I'm going to bite and kick you like a wild animal
you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?
I spent years just lurking on tumblr but recently I’ve been making TSP content so I guess this is a TSP account now?they/void/ink/star/eye(Always feel free to message me or send in an ask <3)
