[koresmeadow]

I go by Castor! My pronouns are he/him.

I will misspell stuff in my posts.

My ao3 for fanfic is PersephoneCoded my ao3 for original works is CastorLabros. I have a google drive folder with my essays here and sometimes post them on ao3 under the pseud EssaysGeorg I don't update it often as I am seldom proud of my essays, but if you wish to know more about my essays you can find the essay master post which contains a summer, word count and spoiler warning for all of them here.

I reblog bug related content under the bugs tag however its more so for me to find posts than to filter them. So please do not follow me if that is content you dont want to see, and block me if you REALLY dont want to see it.

i very rarely reblog vulture culture content (ethical collecting of animal bones and taxidermy), i tag said posts as vulture culture so people can filter them.

Can we talk about how that was the perfect cross-cultural example? I was like "oh this sounds so pleasant, how is it-" then Pumped Up Kicks came on and i was like "oh. Oh yeah okay."

Stop being so afraid to be confident. There’s actually a lot of great things about you. Don’t deny those things, embrace them. You’re beautiful and smart and kind and you need to stop punishing yourself for acknowledging it and trying to believe it.

Drawing of Andromeda in full royal garb.

I used the Egyptian depiction of Nubians as inspiration for this piece. The mural of the 18th dynasty shows Nubians paying tribute and a princess (left) is present, so I based the clothing of Andromeda on her.

Initially I interpreted the object above her head as a feather headdress, but later on I saw some pictures that restorated it as an umbrella.

If this is really an umbrella, then the headpiece I show in my drawing is not accurate. The men in front of her also wear feathers, so I thought it was logical that she would also wear a feather headdress, but I might have done some cultural projection or something like that. In my town we really like feathers, they reminded me of one of our traditional folkoric costumes, so I saw the headdress and it just really made sense to me.

The motifs on her sedan chair are based on traditional Kerma Nubian pottery decoration

And the extra necklace with the beads was based on this Kerma necklace dated around 1700-1550 BC:

We know that in Greek mythology Aphrodite rises from the sea foam but prepare for...

And then it's draaaaaged through Troy

And then RIIIIISEN up by the Trojans

Meanwhile Odysseus and his men inside the horse:

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... The Trojan Horse.

As thought of by Chris Nolan

(Good luck sacking Troy wet to the bone with a serious vertigo, lads 👍)

[starweaverblog]

BTW it still bothers me ever since I saw it on the trailer

Why did they put the whole damn horse in the sea??? The texts specifically mention the Greeks built the horse on the plain near the shore, packed the heroes inside, set fire to their own tents to make the retreat look real, and sailed just out of sight behind the nearby island of Tenedos.

Why Nolan decided to put the damn horse in the sea?? Not only it makes zero sense but also the crew could have drowned if the Trojans simply refused to get the horse out of the sea! The director can't claim to have researched this story when he did such stupid decisions to begin with. In the text, the Trojans opened their gates, they walked down to an empty, smoking battlefield and found this massive wooden structure standing where the enemy lines used to be. They had to haul it across the plain and up the hill into the city.

"But it's for tension!" If that's the reason it's a bad execution because Homer had the script ready to adapt, while Nolan all he had to do was follow the source
