My Brain Is Consumed By Podcasts

@hurtmionedanger

Hyperfixations bounce around my brain constantly and without halt, It’s a different hyperfixation every day so We just kind of vibe with whatever At the moment we are rapidly swinging between TMA and WTDW!

Pinned post!!

Hi I’m Charlie!! I use all pronouns (you can also call me hurt, danger, or whatever silly nicknames you please as long as they aren’t mean)

Some facts about me!

I am asexual And I have adhd

I have been playing roller derby for seven years and I used to professionally announce at events! (My user is actually a reference to my roller derby name)

I mostly scream about stuff my friends are doing and Shitpost, but I also pretty regularly post art and even occasionally talk about cool AU ideas

Always excited to talk to people about my blorbos so if you’re curious about them send in an ask!

My fandoms change pretty consistently but as of right now it is

The magnus archives

Welcome to dreamworld

I kind of bounce in and out of the nightvale fandom

And FNAF!

And also in and out of the homestuck fandom but shhh no one needs to know that

you have to be very careful lately. because all my favorite girlies are still into the magnus archives. but all the same girlies are Very Excited about the mcr tour. so you never know which gerard they're talking about. did gerard way kill someone?? did gerard keay come out as nonbinary in an episode and i somehow forgot?? this requires more critical thinking skills than the rest of tumblr combined.

Brazil famously has the highest amount of Lebanese people in the world, including in Lebanon itself

literally Brazil is always "the largest X nation outside of X"

its been about 10 years since she showed me this but i am STILL thinking about how my (then) 4 year old cousin drew birds

OBSESSED with this creature; she draws the body from above/below and the head from the side, with a giant eyeball that takes up the entire head and never looks in a specific direction. in a very old-fashioned sense: iconic

Yeah I would have guessed this was on some ancient pottery or something

if I was matt murdock and I found out the same chemical spill that blinded me and lit the world on “fire” turned a bunch of turtles into pizza loving ninjas I would lose it actually

I’m not going lie the thought of matt finding out he’s radioactive ooze brothers with this particular version of the tmnt has me in tears

matt, trying to recount his childhood and ignore the smell of turtle, three day old pizza, and sewer: …..so yah, after my dad died I was basically on my own.

the turtles, already planning on buying their radioactive waste brother a shirt that says “I fell in radioactive waste and all I got was these glasses”: cowabummer dude. our dad’s a rat

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
