Downsides to being an Egyptologist: When someone does this on the monty python dead parrot app:

to you, a recurring person

i've been writing poems this year. i've posted a few on this blog: now i'm putting them all up in one place. to you, a recurring person contains the poem below, 'Mazinger Z Saves the Anomalocaris' and eight more that i'm very proud of.

you can get all nine poems here on itch.io as a snazzy pdf on a pay-what-you-want basis. not sure whether you'd be interested? well, i can help by telling you that this collection includes such themes as:

pervert sexuality

global imperialism

oblique references to card games

fluids

stickiness

having a nice time on the computer

and more, probably. reading them is the only way to find out!

the way his words are so carefully curated, not only for the sake of precision, but so it fits a rhythm that is breathable for a slow speaker.

to say exactly what he means in a short sentence, with recurring pauses and a clear pronounciation. to prefer periods(.) over commas(,).

not to be needlessly verbose – much the opposite; because this vocabulary serves the purpose of clarity, organization and to hold the attention of the listener.

#talking to the wall #wd gaster #gaster #undertale #deltarune #and also because he's toothless so it takes an extra effort to make words sound correctly ahahaha (a headcanon) #another day of speech patterns being very important to me in terms of characterization #otherwise i will have trouble imagining it is this character saying a line #if we had canon wingdings read some fanfiction lines of his out loud we would sleep on the spot #and that is why these mannerisms are so important when fleshing him out! #there is just not enough fanfiction giving it enough attention to portray this OTL #to speak little yet say a lot #i like to imagine he is a very visual thinker and it adds to the thoughtfulness of his words #also re: wingdings as a visual code. #man who speaks in hands and whatnot #wistful sighing. damn papyrus you had it good when he would read you bedtime stories #this guy writes in hieroglyphs

Me, googling all the places I want to go and all the things I want to do on my weekend off after 9 night shifts in a row, as if I don’t know the only place I’m going to go is bed and the only thing I’m going to do is sleep.

#but I wanna go see the Egyptian hieroglyphs exhibition at the museum #and I want to go to the market with all the arts and crafts and foodstuffs #and I wanna see four different films that are out right now #but I also wanna watch the films I recorded last week when I was working #but I also wanna finish the book I’ve been reading

[ifindtheartifacts]

I love talking to people about how I study Egyptology and they’re like “so what are you planning to do with that?” Like I do it because I love it and I’m going to marry rich ok

#you can’t do anything with an egyptology degree #other than like research #especially because I don’t do archeology #like when is the last time you heard of someone needing someone who reads hieroglyphs #the answer is stargate 1994

Remembering fondly the time I cock-blocked a friend while in the British Museum at the Book of the Dead exhibit. He was showing off to a fellow classmate, who'd only joined us during our MA so had known him all of a month at this point, by informing her he was a 'total Middle Egyptian expert', and telling her what all the hieroglyphs on the fake columns said. Another friend and I were nearby, and had been listening to him peacock on this trip for 48 hours non stop to any new female classmates who'd listen to him. So when he read one of the columns as 'Day of Tomb' I leaned over and whispered 'qrs means 'burial', Mr Middle Egyptian Expert. It reads 'day of burial' not day of tomb'. Classmate laughed and left, and he was pissed with me for a week.

#qrs is one of the basic words you learn #when your corpus is made up of a lot of funerary texts it's a word you come across more often than you'd care for #we were doing MA at the time #J you had 4 years of Middle Egyptian under your belt and you forgot the word for burial #of course I'm gonna make you look like a right moose in front of girls you like if you're claiming to be an expert #'day of tomb' sir are you aware that most people call the day of burial 'day of burial'? #'E can't read hieroglyphs so how would she know' at this point J I wasn't sure you could either

Got a comment in a fic that is emojis only. FINALLY. I was happy and with a huge smile all the same 💚💚💚 Emojis and gifs are very valid and lovely comments and will make an author's day a beautiful day.

#fanfic #writer's life #comments #emojis are like hieroglyphics that the author knows how to read #They say: I stayed here a moment longer here just to let you know what I felt reading the story you shared

[ovletoak]

I'm not against including other languages in an ENG fic but yall better start actually learning Japanese instead of spamming fucking romaji everywhere

(I am aware of the tangents this can go into in a serious debate but no I'm just cringing so hard my innards are dripping out please don't at me)

#for real #i have had enough of this #seriously #same with any other language that don't use an alphabet #YES I"M ALSO TALKING ABOUT CHINESE #PLEASE it's a pain to see these #especially when i see people NOT PUTTING TONE ON THEIR PINYIN #what even is that supposed to be. fic in base32 language i tell you. #my pals PLEASE kanji/chinese characters are hieroglyphs based PLEASE you cannot just #type what is essentially morse code #and expect them to be read as ha ha different language. bilingual characters. #mostly just me cringing but. i am so tired of seeing people spamming romaji. it's. everywhere.

you ever get an assignment back with handwritten notes and you're like "damn i bet these comments would be really helpful if i could actually read them"

#they speak #trying to decipher my professors handwriting like i'm reading hieroglyphics
