dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Stylizing the arabic font like that is really fucking sick. Someone somewhere put a lot of thought into it. It could be better if they could pursue the art of lettering and design in peace, but we don't live in a perfect world so they had to work on a war banner instead.

Afaik that's a major element of Arabic calligraphy, which is cool af:)

If someone else is interested, I looked around and found this series about arabic calligraphy very interesting, going into all the technicalities: https://youtu.be/kDuLM_4T6cQ

It's episode one, and it's undubbed, with english hardsubs, so it requires some patience like calligraphy itself does.

Thanks, I haven't seen this! Only a few moments in and it's already gorgeous.
