current mood: thinking about the unbearable tragedy of lucretia tazbalance

#the way the temporal chalice is the only relic she warns them about #because the power to fix your mistakes is the most tempting thing she can imagine #they way she has to beg her dearest friends not to give into what she knows magnus made with love and hope #the way she looks her beloved brother in the eye and tells him she didn’t have enough faith in him #and that it cost her their family #and has to live with the fact that he just nods along without a hint of recognition #the fact that he still cares for her and supports her and is proud of her even without their history #and she just has to live with that because she can’t go back no matter how much she wants to #i’m onto the rest&relaxation interlude/the eleventh hour today can you tell #god i just have so many fucking feelings about her #all the wrong choices for all the right reasons #taz balance

Egyptian pharaoh names but I’ve turned them into ancient cat names

1. Tutankhbastet (Tutankhamun)

This is the most obvious name on this list because literally all I’ve done is change out the name of one god for another god. I’m not doing that for any of the others I promise.

King Tutankhamun is the one pharaoh everybody knows about, which is ironic since his birth name literally means “the living (ankh) image (tut) of the Hidden One (Amun).” (“Tut” can also be translated as “likeness” or “statue.”)

Amun was the Egyptian god of, uh… stuff (he’s hidden. His whole deal is that he’s hidden). Bastet was the Egyptian cat goddess. Sometimes she was portrayed as a lady with a cat head, but sometimes she was just a cat. If you switch Amun’s name out for Bastet’s, it becomes “the living (ankh) image (tut) of the Cat Goddess (Bastet).” Truly, a name that only the most dignified and elegant cats deserve.

Transliteration: twt-anx-bAstt

You could also say it “Tutankhbast” if you prefer.

2. Hatmiushepsyu (Hatshepsut)

Hatshepsut’s name means “the foremost (hat) of noblewomen (shepsut),” and it turned out to be really good name for her, since she became pharaoh and all. If you want to change it to “foremost of noble cats” it becomes Hat-miu-shepsyu, “miu” meaning “cats” and shepsyu meaning “noble.”

Transliteration: HAt-miww-Spsyw

3. Nedjestiti (Nefertiti)

I am aware that calling Nefertiti a pharaoh is controversial since there’s a chance that Neferneferuaten might have been her daughter and not her. But finding names of pharaohs that you can do this to and are also popular enough to be recognized is hard so shush.

Nefertiti was supposedly the most beautiful woman in the ancient world (although we can’t confirm that because Nefertiti and all the other ancient women are now dead). Her name fits this, because it means “the beautiful one (nefert) has come (iti).”

“Nedjes” is a word meaning “small,” so changing the name to Nedjest-iti makes it mean “the small one has come.”

This is a good name, because if your cat is bad then you can use it in a derogatory sense to call them a penniless little beggar. Unfortunately, it only really works for girl cats, because the masculine version is “Nedjesiu,” which loses the pun quite a bit.

Transliteration: nDst-ii.ti

4. Miumer (Narmer)

Narmer was the first pharaoh to rule over all of Egypt, and like other early pharaohs the only name used for himself was his Horus name instead of his throne name or birth name. (You know that TS Elliot poem about how cats have a bunch of different types of names? Pharaohs are like that too). Because Narmer was his Horus name, it was written inside an enclosure called a serekh instead of a cartouche.

The name itself means something like “striking (mer) catfish (nar)” or “fierce (mer) catfish (nar).” To change it to “striking cat” or “fierce cat,” you need to change nar to miu: Miu-mer. (Yeah the English translations of this one are stronger wordplay than the Egyptian versions, sorry.)

If your cat is a girl then the name should be Miutmer instead.

Transliteration: miw-mr

5. Bitokris (Netiqerti/“Nitokris”)

Queen Nitokris was either a cunning murderess, whose name lurks in the shadows of history… or she was a 3,000 year old transcription error. The only potential record we have of her name in hieroglyphs is the name of a pharaoh called “Netiqerti” on the Turin kings list. This could be Nitokris, or it could be a mistake made by a scribe while trying to copy the name of the name of another, completely different pharaoh.

If Netiqerti is Nitokris, then her name means “Neith (Net, a goddess) is excellent (iqerti).” Bit-iqerti/Bitokris would mean “honey (bit) is excellent (iqerti).”

Transliteration: bit-iqr.ti

#Ancient egypt #egyptology #ancient languages #This list ending up having more girl pharaohs than boy pharaohs on it which is neat (even if one of them probably wasn’t real)#A lot of the famous names of male pharaohs I first thought of using are things like ‘the justice of Ra is strong’ ‘Thoth is born’#Or some other combination of god name + religious meaning #And just switching another god out for Bastet gets very repetitive so I was only willing to put one version of that on this list #And the king Tut one works the best because Tut and Bastet are both well known enough that some non-nerds will probably be able to get it #Also because ‘The living image of Bastet’ is just a great name for a cat #The Nitokris one also follows that format but I was able to think of something that wasn’t just another god without completely changing it #And I’m so proud of myself for thinking of that. Bitokris is a great name.#I put this list in order of which of the pharaohs on it are most well known. If it was in order of the best names Bitokris would be first #and Tutankhbastet would be second #Ava has thoughts #Id in alt #ancient egypt stuff #Long post

God…

John Emerson is a sopping wet confused cat I swear to god.

I love him

He’d look better if I could draw him in like an actual “cop guy” scene but noooo I no no wanna-

BUT GOD D A M N.

#John #John Emerson #I love Emersons #I wanna be one #God can I talk about how well they raised Ryder #he’s such a nice kid #even after the island and he’s being an edgy prick for a few months #he still tries to help everyone out #John at one point told him to ‘sit the fuck down’ because he got tired of Ryder not saying no to stuff #Mary’s just glad that her son doesn’t treat people #especially women like crap #‘I’m so proud of my son’#I wanna make a little ask blog for them now ngl #This might be due to a certain group of people telling me to do so #I really hope its not going to be full of ‘omg John my beloved’ don’t get me wrong I love those but #I’d like to get actual lore out too or at least little details out #stanley rambles #ending this ramble with a ship #john x Mary will now be called #Jory #or you can type out John x Mary it doesn’t matter

Not gonna lie, even though there were many things that sent my brain on absolute high in this episode, I completely lost it when Jamie had a moment with Pep. I screamed. I was doing Beard’s “ohmygodohmygod” before he was, I just couldn’t believe any of it and both Ted and Jamie deserved to have that moment for sure!!!

#ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso season 3 #jamie my love of all loves #you fucking deserve this #I’m so fucking proud and I was just so happy to see them interact like this #it means there was no bad blood #and that pep is most likely happy with what kind of person jamie has become #even if he doesn’t play for his team #and even if richmond defeated them #oh my god how can I cope with this #just so freaking happy that moment exists and that pep was really there

I’m in process of writing the draft of my very first memoir. Three years in development. Since I was ten, I enjoy the idea of being an author. I made little stories then I did fanfiction every time I had an embarrassing yet hellish time at school; still not a fan of that school no I won’t attend my high school zoom reunion or in-person; if i’m being honest, I don't give a damn attending a high school reunion I would rather hang out with an old friend somewhere fun; I’m getting off-topic I’m very excited. This is part of my secret project. My writing skills have been fueled after I watched Turning Red several times, I love the movie and relate to the main character. High school was hell for me like I stand up for myself. But it is time to tell my story. Finally, as ready at 21 I’m ready.

I’m thinking of publishing on Amazon and Barnes and Nobel under a different pen name so stay soon. -Deanna 💜💫 😏😏 Have a great day. Stay safe.

#my first book #in progress #memoir #writer #my school ruin my life #social anxiety #social awkwardness #I also have this unique disorder called Adult Adhd #I’m very impulsive I got jealous because the math teacher brag that they had the best student in match I wish that was me #but then I apologize because the classmate was sweet to me it was weird I was dealing with strangers I did not know. I warm up to them #because they stand up for me and got the students who bullied me suspended me I stand up for myself though I’m grateful that they helped #though #they called me wonderful in my yearbook I just hope they are doing okay :) and my other friend also #May god and Buddha guide you :)#math*#despite a bad experience I’m glad I found some friend who were great :) I’m proud of our growth strength and future I hope we get to say hi #I miss them so much it been two years since I last saw them #hope things go well #3 years #anyway I’m doing okay #I’m very #I’m very misunderstood so that why I’m finally telling my story #I also have ASD #my comorbidity #I have both: Adhd and ASD #I did not waste my teen years #thank goodness

No but really what did they think it would achieve to admit that they made a human error and the goal should’ve stood? Is their conscious cleansed? Are they humbled now that they’ve owned up to their mistake? How is there no repercussion for such a blatant game changing decision. This isn’t a penalty decision where there is a 50/50 chance for it to go in. This is an actual goal that went into the net that the officials admitted should have stood. How does that not result in any rectification?? Why are you even admitting your wrongdoing? Might as well shut up about it.

Am I still bitter and angry? Yes, sue me!

#the only sliver of a positive which isn’t a positive at all but just something #is that it happened against a top 4-ish team #I hâte spurs with a passion but I’d much prefer this happen with them than against a lower team #makes people ridiculing them even better and it gives us a boost #and also that a team that high up the table needed the 3 points served on a silver platter to earn them #also this highlighted the team spirit within the club for me #god fucking damn I’m so proud of them #liverpool fc
