  • Broke: Barbie's many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.

    Woke: Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.

    Bespoke: Barbie's different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.

  • I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful. 

    I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.” 

    Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie.

  • What’s All This Then?

  • Myst is a video game that was published in 1993, which has spawned 4 sequels and a spin-off MMO.

    Mist is another word for fog.

    Myst gets used rather frequently by Tumblrfolk who don’t seem to know the difference when they tag their photos of fog-bound terrain. This blog is for posting “mys-tagged” photos that have been creatively repurposed to include elements from Myst games.

    This concept was originally created by RivenRecog on the mistnotmyst blog, which shut down when they left Tumblr at the end of 2013. We’re just trying to carry on their fabulous legacy. If you’re RivenRecog and you’d rather we stop, just say so.

    The submit box is open. Please try to include a link to the original Tumblr post when you submit, so that we can properly credit the folks whose pictures we’re having fun with.
