saw your tags @did-sm1-say-catfish and yes, that link is broken! I looked into it, and it's because there are now multiple maps, including a map of India—

Here's a new link for purchasing purposes

Apologies for the inactivity! Been in between jobs for a while now and it's been hard to find motivation. I'm still working hard but consider following, it always means a lot!

I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it

[quadriviummuse]

I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.

I think this is the best scientist photograph I have ever seen.

[shellysbees-blog]

But people didn’t believe him on reddit. So Watterson made the photo sequence into a gif.

[moonlit-hedge]

Here’s the gif for anyone curious.

[siren-kitten-his-deactivated202]

I had to go through the notes to find the gif. Not because I didn’t believe him but because I wanted to see it.

"Don't worry about the whole "Abandoning me for the exit" thing!"

I've always liked Ragatha a lot, shes a character is instantly related to. The concept of pushing down your own needs and feelings in order to not burden other people is just something that hit close to home. Wanting to be only a source of positivity and lifting people up, and not wanting to exist in any other way, is scary.

One of my biggest praises for Tadc is the fact that every character is deeper then the archetype they appear (and that works to oppose Jax's own negative world view). Every character has an emotional arc and through-line that you see in the first episode to the next, even if its extremely subtle. One-off lines or expressions are all intentional! This line from episode 2 is more on the nose, but it was so satisfying to see it connect with the fact that Ragatha doesn't want to be abandoned, she is willing to brush off something physically and emotionally painful if it means it won't affect pomni, when it is something pomni didn't even bring up.

Also here's another ragatha I drew from memory as i was playing with my watercolor pencils. She is my sopping wet cat.

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

[werewolfetone]

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

[angel-derangement]

I hate it too tbh
