Because sometimes you gotta doodle a toofy robogal! And i’m embarassed to admit how long it took me to find out about the “shrink selection” feature in GIMP…
At CrossBones Graveyard, the unconsecrated mass burial ground for sex workers, the poor, and those who took their own lives is now marked by a beautiful garden and lovingly tended to by caretakers who see it as a sacred space. There are also clergy who do regular services of remembrance, regret, and reconciliation to apologize for the wrongs of the church and to honor the dead. There are no headstones here but there are flowers and bees and healing herbs and pilgrims who come from all over to pay their respects to the outcast dead of London.
If you want to visit here I’d recommend the vigil after Apple Day at Borough Market every October, it’s a really moving place.
Not all paint is created equal!! Here is our trans Pecos rat snake painting a masterpiece of his own using tempera paint which is made of egg, and is completely edible (though not tasty- don’t try it) and animal safe.
This process has been deemed safe by animal care professionals around the globe including animal care staff at zoos and vets as well.
Painting can be wonderfully enriching for many different species!
The second image shows paintings from trans pecos rat snakes, tigers, jaguar, and anteaters!
The tiger likes to lick the purple best. I don’t know why. It doesn’t taste any different from the rest.
Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost
The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction
The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity
We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either
Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender
The gods didn’t actually have animal heads
Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)
The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous
Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”
The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit
‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”
While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago
The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved
The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum
Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose
Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards
Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”
The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)
While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition
It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that
Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass
Who’s basically the old Filmation Scorpia as a child, complete with the inexplicable Boston accent.
An angry little non-tactile child who’s upset with everyone pinching her cheeks and considering her failed attempts to sting them in response adorable.
It would be interesting if she actually helps the rebels out of a jam, not because they are nice to her, like in most similar plots, but because they treat here with respect and don’t belittle her.
So yeah, Scorpia and her sister both have trouble making friends from completely different directions, and it actually keeps themselves from understanding eachother.
I like how Bow’s proficiencies are just a wealth of double meanings stemming from his extremely fitting name, as in he’s good with an archer’s bow, a ship’s bow, tying bows and playing instruments with bows, but also his name sounds like Beau which means “beautiful” or “handsome” and it fits him perfectly. Just???? Bow is the perfect boy.
