the word for brain here is cerebrum, and it's been literally split in two

I've seen wordplay like this before in Latin, but with compound words that are clearly made up of separate parts

but "cere" is not a word and neither is "brum"

you could translate it something like

"he split his br apart ain with a rock"

and it's only slightly less unreadable than that due to freer word order

needless to say something I'd expect more from a modern experimental poem than an ancient epic

Latin linguistic shitposting is amazing. Like, I can't recall exactly, but there's a line of poetry that says basically "Claudius lives in the mountains mountains".

Except because Latin is inflected and word order is less important, it's actually written like "in the (mountains) Claudius (mountains) lived"

And it still means the same thing. Except why the duplicate of mountains? Because it turns out, Claudius didn't live in the mountains. He lived in a valley between two mountains.

They changed the word order of the sentence and duplicate a word, to do a word-order pun about where some random guy lived! It's great, and exactly the kind of thing you can't do in English, because we depend so much more on word order.

theres something deep about such a small animal being drawn on such a large scale

like
do they know
does the tardigrade know of their own portrait that is comparable to thousands of universes in length on their scale?
a portrait drawn by beings that they know nothing about, but whom know so much about them?
beings who live in an entirely other world, yet still admire the small tardigrade?

admiration enough to give a tardigrade a glimpse of a micro and macro world in mirror, to let the tardigrade feel what is felt by those who know them?

im not crying about the tardigrade cornfield, im not 

the moon tardigrades are looking down on this and smiling

i didn't read the post but I ve already crafted an intricate assumption of who you are as a person in my head. Why do you hate women
