I have funny but first a quick history lesson

In Ancient Athens they had things called ostracons. Basically every year everyone would carve a name of someone they didn't like into a small stone tablet and then submit it. Then they would look at all of the ostracons and if there were too many of one person then they told that person to get tf out. They had ten days to flee Athens and couldn't come back for ten years.

So now I would like you to imagine Dionysus doing a pseudo version of this at Camp Half-blood every month because we all know he LIVES for the drama. (He's stuck there for a hundred years he might as well have some fun)

He would hand out stone tablets (it was very important to him that the names were carved don't ask why) and every person at camp would write a name.

Whoever had their name written down the most would be sent to live in a cabin in the woods for two weeks. If they survived they would be allowed to return to camp.

Mr. D always makes sure there's a crowd around to witness their walk of shame and he takes a picture of said person every month. He keeps them hung up on a wall in the big house.

#clarisse is flipping him off in more than pne of them #camp half blood #dionysus #athens #ancient greece #ostracons #at one point leo is chosen after annoying everyone. somehow during his time away the forest keeps catching fire. idk why tho #percy jackson and the olympians #if Nico is ever chosen Mr. D would replace all the ones with his name with Percy #mr d once took the time to write out Percys name on about a hundred different stones just to get rid of him #heros of olympus #trials of apollo #pjo hoo toa #percy jackson #annabeth chase #nico di angelo #jason grace #piper mclean #leo valdez

Ancient Egyptian ostracon depicting a pharaoh, the blue war crown (khepresh) atop his head and his face covered with stubble (a traditional sign of mourning). The image is thought to depict the 19th Dynasty pharaoh Seti I (r. ca. 1294-1279 BCE). Another, less experienced artist has also used the ostracon to practice drawing hands. Now in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.

i shld get back into wrtiing stuff for this blog and its like nightmare's character day so i shld probably do sonmething abt him since hes the closest thing i have to a main so uhhh

what does nightmare do better than the newly released shadow?

the newly released killer and nightmare are both teleport mobility hunters, who can use a peeper's adjacent abilities to delay generators, teleport to them, or for midchase aura reading, while having chase that is situationally weak, i think bcuz i might just need to get good with ivy to realise her chase potential is actually way higher than i'm assuming idk (also fur the record i 100% beleive somebody on the design team played sadako dbd pre-rework bcuz there are Alot of similairites i enjoy :3)

for one thing, differnces in their chase functionality means that alot of the survivors nightmare is good against and ivy are good against will be differnet, and im nyot expiernced/focused enough to actually list all this out so trust me™ (my guesses which may be fundamentally embarresingly wrong is that nightmare will be better against smaller form mobility enchancments like acrobat and close-range stunners like enchanter, and still works good at punishing tight/vanilla kiting mistkes, while ivy won't care abt vaulting faster's effect as mewch and be better against longer-range stunners and involve less tight-kiting in general, having a different set of mistakes involving awareness for survivors instead that will probably be ironed out eventually)

but nightmare's bird not requring controlling a second character will make him remain Much better at applying it to ciphers midchase, and make teleports / detection a more "convient" action for him, and bcuz of this he'll remain as having really strong exit gate blocking, while ivy's ostracions are more potent once deployed, and can be teleported to multiple times and in chain, giving her stronger map pressure, closer to a dream witch, which is also what her camp can kinda occupy where as nightmare's camp isn't viable enough to be your primary go-to strategy i think nightmare's teleport intp hit is stronger since birds remain centered on the survivor, while ivy applying corruption to survivors after second presence is really strong for her post teleport chase :3 also nightmare can do wu-chang style midchase teleports (better) but i have yet to habitise those well enough since i try using birds as cipher detection/slowdown/ teleport spots primarily >w>

#really funny how nightmare dbd got sadako released a ghost girl who kinda outclasses him in most ways but has a few lesser features #and ''nightmare'' idv is also expierncing that with ivy kkjfsdf #can't wait for ppl who have learned ivy better / think i suck at nightmare to disagree with my claims fkdjsnjkfd #actually do survivors have to run from corrupted ostracons or is just tanking the effect viable bcuz if it is then thats way weaker actuall #also i checked the patchnotes and ivy's camp and mobility is getting nerfed fjkdsnkj

Ostracon - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 14.6.195 New Kingdom, Ramesside, Dynasty 19-20, ca. 1295–1070 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Valley of the Kings, Davis excavations, 1912–13

Description:

This sketch depicts a standing royal figure wearing a close fitting kilt, uraeus and broad collar, carrying a seated child. Both figures have shaved heads and a side lock of hair, which is associated with youth and young age. Traces of red ink show how the artist did a preliminary sketch and then altered the position of the child’s head. Traces of a hand on the right suggest a larger scene. At the bottom, a pattern was sketched in red ink.

Artist's Painting of a Hippopotamus Ca. 1479–1425 B.C. New Kingdom.

The hippopotamus on this ostracon was painted with the sure hand of a skilled artist who had no need of a grid. Other ostraca in the collection were clearly made as templates to be used when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple or as practice pieces. The purpose for this sketch and others is less clear.

Unknown, Artist's Painting of a Hippopotamus New Kingdom

ca. 1479–1425 B.C.

The hippopotamus on this ostracon was painted with the sure hand of a skilled artist who had no need of a grid. Other ostraca in the collection were clearly made as templates to be used when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple or as practice pieces

Broadly speaking, the Egyptians viewed the world in terms of the opposing forces of order and chaos, and they recognized these forces in the creatures around them. In its benign aspect, the hippopotamus, standing upright, was used to represent the goddess Taweret the protector of children and pregnant women. But the hippo could also be a dangerous, destructive beast, and the Egyptians had great respect for its power. In its destructive aspect, the hippo was a stand-in for Seth, the god of chaos, and scenes of the king, or the god Horus, or even a deceased tomb owner harpooning a hippopotamus can be read as depictions of the triumph of order over chaos. In this small painting, however, the animal is not shown in an aggressive pose. In this case the image may simply be what meets the eye: a representation of a hippopotamus.
