Like so many buildings in Greece, the Athens airport sits on top of a wealth of archaeological objects. Many of them are ancient farm sites, with artifacts like this decorated amphora and clay beehive 🐝
The museum also hosts a couple replicas of famous ancient Greek artifacts, like the Peplos Kore (the original lives in the Acropolis Museum in Athens)
Terracotta Bust of Isis-Aphrodite Ptolemaic Egypt, c. 300-30 B.C.
You find yourself stuck in an elevator with your icon and your username. How happy are you?
changing elves from being assholes with a superiority complex and recharacterising them as just sort of weird guys that have an entirely different set of social behaviours to harken back to the days when people thought autistic people were a kind of fae for having odd behaviours. the entire reason why they dont particularly enjoy gatherings of men or dwarves or whatever is because they tend to be loud and the average elven social gathering is just a bunch of them sitting in a room in silence ignoring each other
like theyre still kind of mean but its more of them being blunt and lacking empathy rather than being condescending or purposefully malicious
my elven ass after spending 45 minutes in the pub with my dwarf friends:
I GROW WEARY OF MIMICKING YOUR OBNOXIOUS MANNERISMS TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THIS ENVIRONMENT. I WISH TO RETURN TO MY CHAMBERS TO REST AND SO I MAY PLAY SPLATOON 3 ON THE NINTENDO SWITCH. WE SHALL GATHER AGAIN NEXT HALF MOON AND I SHALL TELL YOU OF MY VICTORIES.
them:

Charioteer of Delphi, original bronze statue, found in the sanctuary of the same name (around 474 BC, archaic period). Its accomplishment is attributed to Pythagoras of Regio. It was part of a larger sculptural group that would consist of the chariot, four horses, and a slave. He would surely represent Polyzalos, tyrant of Gela (Sicily) in his victory in the Pythian games. The sculpture must have been polychrome, traces of silver have been found on the headband, on the lips, and the eyes are encrusted with vitreous paste.
Just finished my Dead of Night sweater (pre-blocking but I was too excited not to take pictures). Equal parts spooky and comfy - as I always aim to be.
