@theremembrancer
Ahhh!! The embroidery is amazing ❤️ Sara and Reyes are definitely my favorite (gotta love that shady bastard) I couldn't stop smiling as I opened them.
I love the colors you chose, and the flora is so spot on for Kadara.
Thank you so much!! (My own 3 cats were very interested in the hoops) 😆 also, the card is simply adorable.
Hey! So for my big follower milestone, I'm gonna do an art giveaway.
On 01-Jan-2023 I will randomly pick three people from the list of reblogs of this post. Those three followers will get a free drawing of a character of their choice (be it an OC or a canon character) in Dragon Age: Absolution's art style. 😊
Make sure you reblog from your main blog, as that's the only way I'll be able to confirm you're a follower
Please do not reblog more than once
Thanks again for everyone who has supported me over these past several years. I feel very honoured!

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost
The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction
The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity
We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either
Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender
The gods didn’t actually have animal heads
Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)
The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous
Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”
The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit
‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”
While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago
The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved
The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum
Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose
Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards
Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”
The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)
While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition
It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that
Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass
I can’t believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On
Seth was not the god of “evil”, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasn’t completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies
Hats off to the few of you who’re reblogging this with tags saying you’re going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.
Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:
Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids
Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt
Hornung, E., The One and the Many: Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt
Dunand, F. & Zivie-Coche, C., Gods and Men in Egypt
Kemp, B., Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization
Bard, K., An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
Stevenson Smith, W., The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt
Kitchen, K. A., The Life and Times of Ramesses II, King of Egypt
Sweeney, D., Sex and Gender (in Ancient Egypt)
McDowell, A. G., Village Life in Ancient Egypt: Laundry Lists and Love Songs
Te Velde, H., Seth, God of Confusion
Guys do me a solid and reblog this version instead of continuously asking for sources on the other versions thanks
You’re doing the good work, friend.
ok but can we go back to the ancient erotica pls
We sure can!
is there a version of this post where y'all talk about how the ancient Egyptians had advanced technology (that is lost and unknown to us) that allowed them to cut multiple ton granite stone to such precision that if you were to try to slide a human hair between the cuts, the hair wouldn’t fit? and if you try to take a photo of the cut from a few inches over head that you can’t even tell the cut line is there? unless the ancients were some sort of advanced earth benders, how do y'all explain that???
Yeah it’s called “the ancient Egyptians were skilled stone workers with the attested tools at their disposal and we didn’t lose that knowledge actually” and you can find all the pertinent evidence in The Complete Pyramids, run along now.
i made a great response to this but then i realized your complete and utter rudeness is not worth it at all. i had a genuine question and there was no need to respond like that. and no, my “earthbender” comparison wasn’t serious.
You know why I was harsh? Because you coached your question in the exact same terms every single conspiracy theorist uses to deny ancient Egyptians their agency when it comes to their stone working. Your reply had the exact same tone of many, many people who tried to play gotcha with me in 119k+ notes, and I’m just not here for that. There is a need to respond like that, actually, because conspiracists will take a mile if you give them an inch on their barely disguised racist beliefs that the Egyptians couldn’t have built their monuments themselves. You either shut it down immediately or you give them ammo. If you got caught in the crossfire of that, that’s regrettable but there is a reason for it.
And why am I making that “dumb comment”? Because I’m an Egyptologist. I have studied this, reviewed the evidence, read all the theories. And as I stated, we do have proof. We do have evidence that metal tools and harder stones can, in fact, cut stone. The same tools can, in fact, create a level surface on a quarried block because the Egyptians, like many contemporary civilisations, knew how to use things like measures and plumb lines.
There is, again, nothing lost or too-advanced about it. It’s technology that is actually still in use today in various fields and quarries together with more modern techniques. If you look through the recent reblogs you’ll find one that attaches many different videos showing exactly what I’m talking about.
And to reiterate, if you’re genuinely interested you can find all of this info in Mark Lehner’s The Complete Pyramids, which is relatively easily accessed online. Barring that, you can look at his website or any of the freely accessible articles by the same and also read up on this. It’s no skin off my nose if you don’t want to take my word for it, but that is why I added sources.

@inkberrry
It finally got here! The snow was keeping it hostage, but my post office was able to deliver today.
I am so excited about these! I can't stop sniffing them. 🤣 I literally squealed when I opened the box. These have to be the most thoughtful gift I've gotten this year.
The smells are perfect for my girls. The lemony bite of Rosalie's and the softness of Gwen's. *swoon* the colors are perfectly fitting as well. The galaxy bombs are also wonderful (they smell soo good!!)
Thank you so much!! I am absolutely in love with them!! You are amazing ❤
Hello! It’s your mass effect gift maker again. Your package is on the way, and according to usps there was a delivery attempt today, but there was ‘no access to delivery location’ whatever that means 😦 the tracking says it will try again tomorrow so hopefully it makes it next time!
We are rather rural and had a ton of snow this past weekend. Our road always gets scraped last which is probably what happened. Hopefully it'll get delivered tomorrow (they're supposed to be clearing more roads today) I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it!
Hello! This is your gift maker for the mass effect gift exchange. I just have a few quick questions for you if you’d be so kind as to answer! For both Gwen and Rosalie: are there any color schemes that you associate with them, and are there any scents or scent combinations you associate with them? Thanks for considering and answering when you have a moment!
Ohhh awesome questions! Let me see. . . .
For Gwen: cool, soft colors (like purples/gunmetal grey) Clean, fresh soap smelling, light floral.
For Rosalie: blue lightning, white hot flames. Neon lights. Sweet smelling citrus (like lemon drops) with a hint of gunsmoke and something metallic.
If those make any sense? 😆 I hope they help! If not, just let me know.
My fic gift for @biotic-z
I hope you'll enjoy it!💖

I just want to gush over this for a moment. Absolutely love the feel and the vibe here 🥰🥰🥰 Perfectly captured Riniel's voice. That cheeky little way she called him 'silly'. Made me melt. ☺ And the sadness, oh the melancholy. Solas you make me so sad 😞 but I love you anyway ❤ the comraderie mentioned, and Blackwall would definitely make a good stew. Confirmed. I absolutely adore this fic. Thank you so much noire!! 🥰🥰❤❤

The Rules of Dragon Age 2021 Holiday Exchange
(Hosted by Whuffie)
Give a gift, get a gift! Gifts must be Dragon Age related.
20+ people or more must sign up. There’s not enough people to match, otherwise.
Important note: I’m not going judge ships. However, I think everyone is aware something like Sera/Dorian would be very offensive to other fans. Be respectful! This is meant to be fun. Don’t hurt or offend anyone. Please keep the really controversial ships to yourself for this event. (Don’t yell at me. I don’t ship Sera/Dorian, either. It was the most extreme example I could think of.)
This year I’m running the event until the end of January to give everyone extra time. The Holiday season can be very busy and this gives everyone almost 2 months to create or find their perfect gift.
How will this work?
- Fill out this form.
- I’ll match people the best I can according to your favorites. Please keep in mind I can’t 100% guarantee you’ll be matched with someone who loves and hates everything you do. You may love Solas and hate Cullen. Your match could also love Solas but love Cullen as well. I’ll put everyone together with at least something you have in common. Keep in mind if you ship only rare pairs, this is more difficult.
- Give your gift to the recipient by posting it here or shipping it by land mail.
- When you receive a physical gift, post it to the Dragon Age Gift Exchange blog to share it with everyone!
- Remember to use the tag #lemons if it’s not for the eyes of young people or those who don’t want to see / read adult material.
There will be check ins. You’ll be warned here on Tumblr, Discord, and in email. Failure to check in will get you dropped from the program. Will check ins take long? Not at all. They’ll be simple 2 or 3 questions to make sure you’re still doing the event.
What if my recipient gets dropped? You don’t have to send a gift if you don’t want to.
Can I pinch hit? Yes please! I’ll be including a check box on the fill out form for those who are willing to help for creators who vanish. (Don’t feel pressured if you can’t or don’t have time.) What kind of physical gifts are okay? Paintings (the Bob Ross way with physical paint), markers, any other kind of physical art. Pottery, jewelry, knitting, candles, dolls, sculpture and anything else you can dream up!
Can I buy a gift and send it? Yes you can!
What information is shared? If you want a physical gift, you must share your address with the person creating your gift. I’ll also see it on the form, but I’ll forget it in 2 seconds. You don’t have to worry about me turning into a dragon and peeping in your windows.
I’ll also share your favorite characters/ships.
What about NOTPs and characters I hate? Creators are going to look at what you love. If there’s a pairing which really bothers you, feel free to share it in “Other” and I’ll pass it along to your Santa.
Santas/Creators – please don’t take ships for granted. Your recipient may love the characters but not necessarily ship them. This includes canon ships.
I'm a quarian. Give me a hunk of metal, some element zero, a circuit board, and I'll have it making precision jumps.
Hi @biotic-z! Apologies for the delay and hope you had a happy holiday. I jumped back and forth between a few ideas for what I could make you and ultimately decided on Tali. Hope you like it!
@masseffectholidaycheer
I always welcome Tali love! Thank you so much! I plan on printing this out and hanging it in my craft area if that is something you'd be okay with? ❤ (still salty she wasn't a romance option for femShep, but best friends is a good place too) She looks regal just like an admiral should ❤ I love it!!
