Found some TMA doodles from my old notebook that had water spilled on it and now they all look ghostly lololol

(in order: Jane, Jon, Gerry, and the idea of Tim)

When Tim found out he can't be fired or quit he taught Peter Lukas what Sugar Daddy and Sugar Baby is. Peter found it incredibly amusing, Elias not so much.

[radioactive-yuri]

one-sided jonelias is so funny just as a concept. your evil eldritch monster boss keeps getting you into life-threatening situations but also he is just incredibly down bad for you. like, astronomically down bad. just completely hopelessly devastatingly in love with you. and you just kind of wish he'd stop mentally torturing your co-workers

Fun fact: Egyptian gods do not have ‘animal heads’. The depictions of gods are meant to contain a duality, as is important in Egyptian Religion (life/death, red land/black land, chaos/order, human/animal). So when you see, say, Anubis with a man’s body and a Jackal head it represents both his human form and his Jackal form, meaning he might appear in either form. But never as a human with a Jackal head. That is only something you’d see on temple walls for the duality aspect.

How di you know??

I mean it sounds likely but where are you getting your information from?

[thatlittleegyptologist]

I’m an Egyptologist? This is literally my job.

But if you want a source, read: Silverman, D. (1991) Divinity and Deities in Ancient Egypt, In J. Baines, L. Lesko, & D. Silverman, Religion in Ancient Egypt: Gods, Myths and Personal Practice. Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press. 7-87.

[ezairick]

Thanks for the sources.

I had just never heard about that fact before.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

No worries! (I realise I put a full stop instead of an exclamation mark at the end of “this is literally my job” which might have sounded harsh, so I apologise!)

[imboredofthisurl]

This is a very pure interaction

[unyanizedcatboys]

this is exactly how you should react to hearing new information that you’re skeptical of or don’t immediately believe is true

[theyhaveacavetroll]

also I’m fascinated by the punctuation question here. Full stop means “I’m done with this interaction and not amused” whereas exclamation mark = hey no big, I’m happy to explain!

Our generation has solved an issue that written English has had for centuries and I love it.

[atley01]

The more I think ab TMA, where the FUCK did Elias get that metal pipe from?? 💀 like did he just have it behind his back during the whole interaction or did Jon just...have a metal pipe in his office for some reason?

Either answer is funny to me but the image of Elias sneakily holding the pipe behind his back while he talks with Jurgen Leightner the whole time also really tickles me

Honestly all the notes on this have been so good, here's a few of my favorites

[plutoarttv]

prometheus: hot take,

the greek gods: no give that back

I shouldn’t have laughed that loudly

"One time a piano student asked me: 'Why play the piano if these days my tablet or smartphone can do it automatically better than me?'

He then showed me several apps that played music using scores.

I explained to him: 'Your cell phone always plays that Debussy score in exactly the same way. You, on the other hand, with your emotions and flaws, will never play the score the same way twice. You will not play the same way on a sunny day when you have just fallen in love as on a cloudy day when a relative has just died. Music is not just a score - you too are part of the music. Art includes you in the experience; your human imperfections are also part of the work.'"
