Gold pectoral: in the form of a flying hawk in the round, its back a mass of cloisons once inlaid with polychrome glass, probably red, blue, green, but now much decayed.

After 600BC. Ptolemaic or later.

Francis Alÿs, Nightwatch, 2004.  

Surveillance cameras observe a fox exploring the Tudor and Georgian rooms of the National Portrait Gallery at night.

[thescepteredisle]

This is also hilarious because the Tudor portraits are upstairs on like the third floor so that fox also had to go up the stationary escalators long story short he was on A Mission

He knows something

[vampiremasochist]

He’s the reincarnation of either one of the rulers or their painters.

Other people: *write really detailed and well-thought-out analyses of characters they like*

Me, sobbing in the corner, keyboardsmashing: I just love this character so fucking much man

Ninefox Gambit, by Yoon Ha Lee

[ninefoxdammit]

this is even funnier after reading Glass Cannon

[pirategf]

me: yes i know gay villains are a dangerous trope

me when villains are straight: this is boring. who cares

[tem-pissed-in-a-t-pot]

It’s not dangerous if everyone is gay

Cheris, Jedao and Mikodez have night games where they try to guess how many kinks each other have

[ninefoxdammit]

Jedao's interaction with Cheris all boils down to "talk shit, get hit"

Just finished reading Glass Cannon

mikodez at the end of glass cannon:

[wiseguynephile]

You, a fool: doesn’t want to live in the Hexarchate because it’s a repressive dystopia powered by perpetual war and human sacrifice

Me, an intellectual: wants to live in the Hexarchate because it’s normal for men to wear fun earrings

“We’re golden, gone from sight”

added this song to my MoE playlist. thought it fits Cheris or some of the Kel. i’d like to think the whirring noises towards the end are by mothdrives. you can tell that i like ambient electronic music a lot. i struggle with chronic tinnitus so i find such sounds soothing. i’m looking for faction themed song recs if anyone is interested to share

[iwannapushyourdaisies]

currently losing my mind over the 3d printed piezoelectric violin

it looks like you can play some sick ass riff on it and then turn it around and hack off a man’s head

Heretical Geese by yhlee

A miniature hexarchate tabletop RPG about ethics.

Heretical Geese by Yoon Ha Lee & Ursula Whitcher is a two-page tabletop roleplaying game for a cunning Fox (or GM) and wary Geese (or players).  Can the Geese achieve moral insights before being assimilated?

The game may be of particular interest to fans of Yoon Ha Lee’s Machineries of Empire novels, but does not require familiarity with them.

No animals were harmed in the creation of this mini-RPG.  Some cattens might have been petted, though.
