On Horaawesheb's coffin, between a band of hieroglyphs and a red-white-and-blue frieze, right to left: two shave-headed figures each holding two lizards, Anubis holding a snake, and a man holding two snakes. Each of these figures crouches in an odd position, as if they sat down and then someone took their chair away. The lizards and snakes represent their control over dangerous forces. Next there's an entire fish sitting on a plinth; a mummiform man from the waist up; and the Hathor cow coming out of the mountains.

Where: British Museum

When: Third Intermediate Period, 22nd Dynasty

#downed on first go! #it took me fucking forever to find my way but i finally got a general idea of how to get around the place and where everything was at #or so i thought i realized two seconds after I beat that idiot #that i'd yet to find my way down to gudrun goldilocks or whatever his name was #hope i didn't fuck anything up #i hate that kind of stuff #i know i'm probably missing out on good things but i just can't deal with games that go like #if you don't compliment the blue chancellor's pet lizard at precisely at 14:05 on a tuesday when the moon's in venus retrograde #then somebody's gonna kill themselves three chapters later and five different very important quests get closed off forever or whatever #or games where there's permanent failure hiding behind every dialogue option would be a more sensible if less fun way to say that i guess #oh well #off to liurnia we go #or i'll just see if i can't find my way to the basement first #ølden ring #fun fact: godrick voice actor's name is ramon tikaram #and he's the brother of british singer tanita tikaram (twist in my sobriety/good tradition etc.) #who my mother was a huge fan of when i grew up

guys did you assign specific animals to your closest friends based on their general traits like appearance and behavior as a kid or were you normal

#like not just cat id be specific about it like would that guy be a british shorthair or abyssinian #“he kinda looks like a lizard” WHAT KIND. ELABORATE

When ur Regretevator OC is a draconic version of a default Xbox Roblox avatar

Anyways, behold, and witness, the dragon who keeping the whole treasure since their medieval ages

#regretevator #regretevator oc #roblox #roblox oc #draconic #ahem he's around like thousand years old so you can call him old lizard and he's not bothered at all #those scars are made from his past fights #he hates gnarpy and thinks xe shouldn't exist in the earth #pest and poob are their besties yet pest doesn't want to come near with it #their main language is medieval english but mostly use modern english so no one is confused about what he saying #but unfortunately he has british accent so sometimes npcs can get confused about what he saying

Hot take but I actually love celestial. 'ed sheeran jumpscare' yeah yeah agreed but like. The song is excellent and it's so funny that it was made for pokemon. Every time I hear it used for Normal Ppl Stuff I just sit there like heehee. Thinkin of the pokemon blorbos. Head is filled w scarlet and koraidon and arven and nemona and penny and it's :]

#(scarlet as in like my sv protag not the game but like. technically also the game by extension yes) #sv in the dentist's office. sv on tv. yes keep this going #these kids are out there going on adventures and having a good time despite the horrors™ #local pokemon fan watches british talent show reality tv and gets emotional over sv quartet and their weird lizard dog ig

Aghhhh The Sweetness At The Bottom of the Pie is my favourite mystery novel but I feel like I cam never recommend it on account of the racism.

#it's set in 1950 but it was written in 2009 #it irks me because casual 1950s misogyny occurs but is challenged #whereas casual 1950s racism is not. indeed the main character herself is extremely racist. #which is. in character for a rich white british 11 year old in 1950 (or today...) #but is also just jarring to randomly stumble across in the middle of an otherwise fun and jaunty murder investigation #dont know what the solution to this is. but i do hope the author figures out a solution in a later book #alan bradley why did you do this to me personally #books #murder mystery #mystery books #lizard life #trenchcoat reviews #middle grade fiction

I was checking my copy of Moll Flanders against the Project Gutenberg version, and my initial search produced:

lol

#this is always a pretty inane approach to literature but...uh....... #i study early modern & 18th century literature because the intersection of those eras' domestic life w/ absolutely unhinged shit is great #(other reasons but that's the lizard brain reason) #so the whole ... bringing the moralizing knife to the gun fight approach seems very strange! #isabel talks #text: moll flanders #artist: daniel defoe #academic chatter #british lit chatter: long eighteenth century

“Chururm - The Churros Pokémon” 

Anyone feeling hungry?

Ok, if I'm correct and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is based on Spain: then a Pokémon based on one of the tastiest dishes from Spain should be added!

It’s a mix of Churros and The Iberian worm lizard.

My favourite thing about Obi-Wan is that he's a jock that has us convinced is he's just a nerd.

#obi-wan kenobi #star wars #he jumps out windows and rides lizard mount #i was half convinced at one point that the negotiator was an ironic nickname #because of the aggressive negotiations line #he gets type cast as fanfic professor #but he would be a stunt man or hockey player or something #is it because he's British? #as an old man he sneaks around osha liabilities and sword fights a robot man #still he IS a giant nerd #the duality of kenobi

The coffin of Horaawesheb at the British Museum. Demons watch over the mummy, brandishing knives and dangerous creatures (snakes and lizards) to show their protective power.

[Against a white background, left to right: a jackal-headed deity with green body and black head holds a snake; a shaven-headed man holds two knives; a mummiform deity with human and vulture heads holds a knife; two shaven-headed seated figures hold up lizards; and a structure with four round nu-pots.]

I once had to write a paper on like heo to give instructions, and so I chose "Cooking Pasta" since I made it alllll the time....

But like my "Reading voice" in my head was Atlas from Bioshock of ALLL FUCKING THINGS!

I got a 70 on the paper because I put fucking "Boyo" and "You see what you wanna do it-" but in my defence they ask asked us to write like we were talking to a friend....

And I'd tell my friend, "What you wanna do us-" in a bad accent that's just how I work....

#Anxious british man #Fuck jt!! who cares!!! #im pissed i think about the pasta paper a lot... #how dare they give me a 70!!!!! #the downside to the voic ein you head going off and ranting and it wouldnt stsy on the topic of pasta and i keep having a full on #conversation in my head.... #struggle of having voices given to the...voices... #i chrrently have combinaed from a game i played and the fuckibg geko lizard dude into ine sweet proper anxious fella #who reads my anxious worried thoughts aloud in my head... #and my cocky voice of is david the lost boys of all things... #ill allow it...DAVID ILL ALLOW IT #but yeah anyways jm thinking sbout thr pasta paper #and the little voices in my head #what do i even tag this as #....i guess bioshock??? #bioshock

Day 1 - Cross

“You’re upset, aren’t you?”

“Well of course I am! What were you thinking? You could have been-”

“Killed? Oh, like that’s ever stopped you from doing it anyway! I’m just following in your footsteps, that’s all.”

“That’s different. I can take it. I’ve been through hell and come out the other side. You haven’t.”

“Haven’t I? You abandoned me for five years in enemy territory with nothing but a few coins and my wits. Does that not count? Is that not good enough?”

“I never meant to-”

“But you did. You did and then you threw yourself at the most dangerous things you could find so you could get yourself killed just like mother.”

“What else was I supposed to do? Father died by my hands, you were lost in the Calamity, I could never go back home! What was left but to end it?”

“You could have tried. You could have come after me. You could have done anything, anything at all to find out the truth and you chose to be a coward. If you hadn’t been found in Gridania-”

“I’m sorry, alright? I wasn’t thinking straight! If I had any idea you were still… Forget it. I don’t deserve your forgiveness, that much is clear.”

“Don’t do that. Don’t martyr yourself because you’re too afraid to accept a hard truth. You’re better than that.”

“Am I? I killed our father. I left you for dead. I wandered around getting drunk and picking fights I shouldn’t have won because I couldn’t handle the voice in my head telling me I was destined for better. All I’m good for is putting myself in harm’s way so that other people don’t get hurt. At least that way they can keep moving on, even if I don’t.”

“...How long?”

“What?”

“How long have you been carrying all this?”

“You know when. You were there.”

“I see. You need to put that sword down.”

“What do you mean? I’m not holding it.”

“Put it away. Leave it behind. Tataru and I-”

“You know I can’t do that. It weighs as it should.”

“I’m not saying forever. But it’s clear you need time away. Time to forget the world. Take your wife and go. Let me worry about the others.”

“I can’t do that. I still-”

“You can and you will. The ship is leaving Moraby Docks at the next bell. You’re expected to be prompt.”

“...How long have you had this planned?”

“Long enough. Go.”

“…”

“And Arashi?”

“Yes?”

“Leave the linkpearl and the crystal here too. I’ll know where to find you if we desperately need you.”

“...Fine. But don’t you dare do anything stupid while I’m gone, alright?”

#ff14 #final fantasy 14 #ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #ffxivwrite2022 #ffxivwrite #arashi washi #sanda washi #taking the british definition of cross here #which is to say angry #but a little bit of messiah complex and martyrdom slipped in anyway #oops #anyway have two lizards who are most certainly not okay #and keep having this conversation despite wanting to move on #poor idiot lizards

The talk about celebrities and politics, reminded that I just saw a poll that also polled which celebrity endorsement would hold most sway with young voters. I don’t know how reliable the data is, but Taylor Swift was rated as one of the top 5 endorsers among young Republicans and Harry among young independents. The top 5 among young Democrats were all women; Zendaya, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, and Dua Lipa.

I suspect it's almost meaningless anon. I can't think of a way of framing that question that would get useful information. It's basically just a proxy for who people like. But the Harry one feels quite fitting.

#Oh Harry #My motto for US elections at this point #is that every moment that I'm not thinking about them is winning #I'm mildly optimistic #that the self-righteousness of demands that other people vote for the least worst genocidal lizard #Even if it won't make any difference at all #Will be a bit quieter #but I'm also hoping I won't be paying enough attention to know #Also I hate Keir fucking Starmer so much #I'm so jealous of anyone who has the chance to vote to unseat a Labour candidate from the left #These feelings may appear in my tags at random #as we prepare for a British election without a Harry Styles album #And I'm discovering how many unprocessed feelings I have from the 2019 election

past a certain point in the series i often have moments where i start laughing incredulously because What Show Am I Even Watching Anymore

#like yeah sam and dean are trapped in an alternate dimension being hunted by some kind of giant lizard and also a #fantasy wraith of some sort #in another alternate dimension their sort-of-adopted-son who is biologically the child of lucifer faces their reincarnated mother amidst #the apocalyptic ruins of a planet destroyed by an evil archangel. also there is a suspended iron-maiden type device involved for the vibes #back in original-earth jody and her gaggle of wayward girls dissect a gooey squid guy that is prob inspired by D&D illithids #fucking ketch from s12 is unfortunately alive as if the british MOL arc shouldn't have died a permanent death #this show turns into Such a grab bag of nonsense it's wild #like i get it fellas u thought you needed to keep things fresh but every single season proves that this story is ALWAYS at its best #when you pare it down to its essential elements #liveblog tag
