Names are but sounds

Read on AO3.

So, not only did I colour this sketch, I also wrote a ficlet for it . Thank you so much to @mssr-cellophane and @nikaranikita for the love.

Shoutout to @natthemess for giving me Spartacus feels, which totally is to blame for this thing. And @waywaychuck who wrote me a beautiful Ancient Roman AU sometime ago. I love you guys so much!

There is a second part, you guys. I drew another picture and then I had to write more. No worries, no one dies, just fluff.

i’m going to start saying “sorry i was stimming” in an indiana jones voice forever now

“Our own culture has so much stuff that pottery has lost much of its former importance, but it is still one of the few universal possessions. Perhaps many thousands of years from now, when our culture has been buried by some apocalypse or other, archaeologists will start to dig up our remains and name us the Mug community, MC for short: we were a people who liked  our ceramics to be brightly colored, large enough to accommodate high volumes of comforting caffeinated drinks and above all dishwasher-proof.” – Bee Wilson, Consider the Fork (Basic Books 2013): 10.

“Characterized by thick-walled, generally (though not always) cylindrical, single-handled vessels, often brightly colored and elaborately decorated. Some researchers theorize (controversially) that some of the decorations on these vessels are in fact inscriptions, though attempts to “translate” these have been dubious. The frequent appearance of particular identical decorative motifs has led some researchers to suggest these vessels held some sort of social importance, perhaps indicating tribal or religious affiliation. It is popularly supposed that these vessels were used for the ceremonial consumption of some sort of psychoactive substance, but this is based more on the popularity of a few lurid “historical” novels and not on any actual archaeological evidence.”

Fun Fact: Kittens learn to hunt their prey using their mother’s tail. This is so cute cause this tail is a lot faster than a cat’s tail but the kitten is doing their best. ❤🐈

Cute :)

So what I’m hearing is that training with a dog is going to turn this cat into the APEX PREDATOR

Smooching notes~!

*record scratch* hold up, what was that?

a new Hammer horror film?? they’re doing Jekyll and Hyde??

and it’s starring *checks notes* it’s starring

Suzy Izzard as Dr. Nina Jekyll??

[img 1: promo photo of Izzard as Dr Jekyll in a black suit jacket+skirt with walking cane, looking troubled in profile, in an eerie yellow room which also contains a marble bust]

[img 2: excerpt—

Details on the project have been scant, but today director Stephenson shares with Fangoria the first image of Izzard on set, and confirms that her character Nina Jekyll is a trans woman in the film’s narrative, lest anyone think we’re in for another helping of the gender-bending tomfoolery of past reimaginings like Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde.

“There have been over 100 cinematic adaptations of Stevenson’s novella, but there has never been a trans Dr. Jekyll,” says Stephenson. “There seem to be some assumptions that because Nina is a trans character, we are somehow going to make it about gender. That is not the case; the themes of our film are true to the original work.”]

this is the kind of character trait you put in an adaptation to COMPLEMENT its existing themes oh my god. ohhhhh my god. my favorite thing, “an overblown metaphor for thing AND the thing itself actually being depicted by someone who knows what the thing is” seems about to happen in this production :-0

It’s bring your daughter to war day

NO LIKE THAT!
