EGYPT FAQ FROM ACTUAL EGYPTIAN SO YOU DONT HAVE TO USE AI
No, we overthrew him when he was a toddler and he's now in Switzerland I think. Egypt is a semi-presidential republic. For now. We keep switching government systems, historically speaking.
...i would fucking hope so?? I mean I'm pretty sure I'm not a poltergeist
No, Egypt is a floating island nation that orbits the earth.
Most of us do, yeah, and it's the official state language.
Not anymore I don't think. Can't speak for every one of us though.
...depends on the Egyptian in question?
Because that's its fucking name we don't call it Egypt here. It's kinda like how Germany calls itself "Deutschland"
The Arab expansion under Caliph 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattāb sometime in the 7th century. It still took a few centuries for Islam to become the majority religion over Christianity. Also not all of us are Muslim.
Tumblr won't let me add more questions so part 2 in the reblogs
*still love, actually.
Also there are two answers
1. Cats are fucking awesome
2. Our prime minister is Satan from hit otome game Obey Me
Preservation of dead bodies because of their beliefs regarding the afterlife
Some god-kings demanded lavish tombs
...ARE we an empire? Cos I thought we're a republic on the verge of collapse
Please refrain from prophecizing the end of our nation. We know.
By breathing.
We actually invented that. Before we came around humans just didn't know what to do with their noses.
....okay I actually don't know enough about stonework to answer this one sorry fellas.
I thought it was pretty well known that the Abrahamic god was unkillable?
If you're referring to what my great^5000000 grandfather Thutmose worshipped though, I have no clue? Probably? I mean Osiris kinda died that one time but he came back.
Yes we're currently floating above it and sending down people in parachutes
Yeah I'm pretty sure the gov did do that. It was probably because of all the predators on there if that one show that came out relatively recently and the timing of it is any indicator

A modern Egyptian stonemason can come and answer the granite-cutting question, I have no skin in that game. I'm sure it's the same way any other modern stonecutter does it.
To those wondering why the stone cutting question was included at all:
ancient aliens bullshit misinformers have taken the whole concept of "copper is too soft, copper tools can't cut granite!!!!" thing and run amok, trying to strip the architectural achievements of the ancient Egyptians from them and instead give the credit to... aliens? And/or some kind of divine ancestor to white folks. Depending on which flavor of racist misinformer you ask.
Anyway. There was certainly some change in methods over the STAGGERING number of centuries Egypt was doing their architecture thing, but if anyone is curious how copper tools can be used to cut granite:
They used abrasives, like sand or (less likely, depending on time/place), emery. Turns out the quartz in sand is harder than granite. So the copper tools basically dragged the sand particles over the surface of the granite, wearing it down in a process similar to how a modern emery board wears down fingernails.
Penn Museum has a nice breakdown on historical theories and investigating ancient Egyptian abrasive and drilling methods here.
The Met's analysis on ancient Egyptian stone cutting and abrasives is a little more in-depth and is here.
obsessed with what Yami/Yuugi’s detransformation (unpossession?) looks like from the outside
No fancy light show. No rendition of the opener in the background. Just his bangs flopping into his eyes
I’m convinced Yuugi held it up with hair spray at one point or another just for shiggles and made Jou twitch thinking someone was trying to kill them again
If you ever doubt anyone or character would be idiotic enough to not seek medical help without permission, meet me: I once cut my hand open in high school, blood literally pooling in my cupped palm like a grim little soup bowl, and still walked the 200 metres to class.
I walked into class with a sheepish smile and said, 'Hi! Sorry, but is it okay if I go to the nurse?'
My friend screamed my name in horror and literally shot up, grabbed my uninjured side and was very firmly, (and very speedily) walked me to the nurse's office.
I was very pointedly told that I am a fucking, idiot.
My dad had a heart attack while driving between major cities, about a 5h drive. He knew he was having a heart attack. And he finished the drive anyway
THEN WENT TO BED
Because, and I quote: "I couldn't be bothered to deal with all that."
The only reason he we went to a walk-in the next day was because he was still feeling off, and the walk-in wasn't busy. Whereupon the conversation with the doctor went a little like this:
"Don't panic, but you're actively having a heart attack right now, so we've called an ambulance to take you to the hospital."
"Okay. Should I call my wife to come get the car, then?"
"You drove here? ALONE?"
Anyway turns out that over the course of those two days he had something like 5 minor/intermediate heart attacks in relatively quick succession. Because he's a stubborn ass mule headed man.
So, yeah, the character would absolutely be an idiot. No matter how "smart" they might allegedly be. My dad's a master electrician who started and has run his own succesful business for 20+ years, with dozens of employees and massive contracts with major, household-name corporations. And he's a moron. Two things can be true.
Dude same tho
Having flashbacks to all the instances in which i or a family member had ignored a health issue cause we're like Its Fineee
Me when my leg got knifed: this is literally fine i have gauze and sports tape to slap on it
My older brother: SIT YOUR ASS DOWN OR WE'LL AMPUTATE YOU
Me with my eyes completelt swollen to the point of blindness: idk man i think i just need a nap my eyes feel kinda heavy
My mother: DOCTOR. GET IN THE CAR
My hand with giant blisters and two missing fingernails: idk its not too bad i can still play my cello probably
My lil sister: Your Hand Looks Like A Prop Used In An Off Brand Zombie Movie
AND MY FAMILY IS SO MUCH WORSE? Like sure they be yelling at me for being stupid about a sprained ankle or smth but literally one time my dad assumed that a terrible pain in his chest and abdomen was just heartburn or acid reflux or smth despite the fact that he's literally never had either of those before, and he REFUSED to leave a concert i was playing until i was done and dragged his ass to the ER, and then after a few weeks we find out it was STAGE FOUR CANCER???
Or the time my little brother got hit by Heavy Construction Machinery and was like 'aight, im ready to rake' as if he didnt get slammed by a five ton machine on tank tracks without dying?? He only had like four breaks and a moderate concussion which is an absolute miracle cause we thought he was DEAD dead but bros just like Alright Start Skreeding girl no. Hospital
Oh god my mother with all of her concussions and multiple skull fractures being like Oh My Niece Wants Me To Go On A Carnival Ride With Her? Just One Wont Hurt. NOT WITH SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA YOU ARENT
People can be so incredibly stupid about injuries when its about themselves fr fr
I firmly believe that in evolution towards sociality, humans ended up crossing the wires for "personal health" and "community safety". Any degree of my people need me immediately overwrites all sense of ouch.
Even when the degree of need is as small as "I don't wanna scare anyone", and especially when the degree of need is as great as "we don't have the resources for medical care". It's absolutely something that saved groups in our past and present--enabling superhuman acts like injured mothers lifting cars off of children, or sick shepherds continuing to work in the cold and wet, hell, an injured hunter continuing to help their group take down prey--but it's also absolutely a fatal flaw. And you can imagine this pairs SUPER WELL with the dumpster fire of the American healthcare system.
Speaking from personal experience, growing up chronically ill in a financially unstable family in the US leaves a special kind of worm in your brain. Providing healthcare requires resources: even with state-funding childhood healthcare, there's money for gas to get to doctors/hospitals, there's the psychological impact of a sick kid, there's the stress of managing medications, the stress of managing the kid's mental health, the stress of handling well/unwell siblings and their mental health, just, Jesus. The family has to live through all of this. And the kid sees the drain.
All of this to say: the first time I coughed up blood, I tried to make it into a joke to lighten the fear on my parents' faces, and then apologized for scaring them, and for "making them" drive me to the ER at like 1am.
I don't have a point to this. Lord, I'm glad those new meds came out.
replies are restricted but I feel the need to infodump my old stupid decision so see below
Hot take
I don’t think Mokuba and Seto are fully blood siblings.
maybe half siblings. At most. But personally, I like the idea that they just found each other at the orphanage. They no longer remember how they ended up together—even Seto was too young to form permanent memories of it.
Instead, all they know is the presence of the other. From the very start, it’s been tall competence and small joy, orbiting each other like planets and moons. Faded, sometimes, especially as Gozaburo wormed his way between them, but never truly gone.

other superheros get training from their mentors, from the super secret society, from alien tech,from the monks or they have some kind of military background.
phantom, on the other hand, got training from the firefighters in his town after he crashed on their cases one too many times and they decided that "yup, if your gonna try to help, might aswell give you some training so you could be useful.", he got training from the paramedics because they were worried he wouldn't know how to help an injured human, he got training from his local town detective who smokes too much and gives him cookies when he can help with his Ghost senses and figure out if this was a human crime or a ghost crime.

Yuugi, dressed as Sam Reich from Game Changer, barely able to see over the podium. "Congratulations, contestant a, you have trespassed upon my heart and now qualify for a game! You now have two options in front of you."
On screen, two Duel Monster cards with writing underneath:
|| (1) Be a Bitch About It | (2) Be Polite About It ||
Contestant a: "...what if I don't wanna play?"
Yuugi: "ah, of course. Can we get Option Three up on the board, please?"
On screen, a new card comes up over the other two:
(3) Angry New Yorker Best Friend Punches You A Lot
Jounouchi walks on stage, knuckles unwrapped and casual stance but with Anger ready in his face. "I really reccamend Door Two," he says idly, with a Brooklyn accent thick enough to have come from a jello mold.
Contestant a: "...option one."
Yuugi: "Oooooh, I'm sorry contestant a! You've activated my trap card."
The 1 card flips and dings like in Family Feud:
(1) Psychopathic Ghost Possessing Me Kills You A Lot
Trap door opens and there's a screaming blur that throws itself at the contestant and knocks them out of view of the camera.
Canon Jounouchi is not from Brooklyn but canon Joey (in the English dub) has a really thick, probably really bad accent and I headcanon that Jounouchi has it too because it’s funnier that way
Arthur: Sir Leon, a highly educated and incredibly skilled nobleman and First Knight of the realm, is nothing less than my right hand man
Knight in training, gesturing at Merlin: what’s that then
Merlin: I’m the left hand
Arthur: exactly. Comparatively unskilled, clumsy, and a little stupid
Gwen: but a vital part of us nonetheless
(Time passes and the knight in training tries to kill Arthur, only to be stopped by Merlin)
Knight/Assassin: but you’re supposed to be incompetent!
Merlin: Arthur’s left hand is incompetent, yes. Me? I’m left handed. you’re about to see how competent I am at kicking your arse
I have still yet to watch Project Hail Mary but based off the various things I have been spoiled for, it is my deepest hope that Erid has 2 things:
1. A set of kids/pebbles for Grace to teach
2. An actually good education system
My take on love trio's secrets
Will these be correct? Probably not. But they're slightly different from the general consensus of Azz and Clara's secrets... well, Clara's secret. I don't know how much discourse there is on Azz's secret.
"i just dont think the scientology speedrun trend is funny because if people did that with any other religious institution-" ok guys lets all go to the 'scientology controversies' page on wikipedia and scroll a bit before continuing this thought. lets do this right now
This argument doesn't work because we should do Vatican speedruns
A home for my Iruma-kun headcanons
Sullivan has a little nook off the side of his office for nights he worked late and needed a cat-nap. It's just a little bed and tea service, well hidden behind a secret door.
this is where Iruma gets tucked into bed in that one scene where Opera is singing him a lullaby
after that, sometimes when Iruma needs a minute alone--because going from 0-100million in terms of how much affection is offered per minute over the course of like two days might lead to some overwhelminess, and the whole "eating humans" thing could definitely lead to anxiety--he'll tuck himself into Sullivan's little nook for his own cat-nap, in the darkness and quiet and soft fabrics that smell like his new (first) home
also one of Iruma's Many food stockpiles is tucked into a pillowcase in a corner
Sullivan knows he's there (has plenty of photos) and Iruma knows Sullivan knows, but they don't feel any need to talk about it. It's just how family works, as Iruma's learning--providing comfort and safety with no questions asked
Iruma can hear Sullivan's pen scritching while he works in the main office. He feels safe with his back to a wall and his Jii-chan between him and the door. It's the safest place in the world, as far as he's concerned
It's the safest place in any world, as far as Sullivan is concerned. Let the boy rest; he'd keep his grandchild safe.
A second headcanon has hit the towers
Iruma goes to Kuromu concerts regularly. Initially, he goes to cheer his classmate on, which naturally turns into a couple t shirts, light sticks, a whole album of ticket stubs, and eventually every CD released since he arrived in the Netherworld.
He finds it so amazing she has such a demanding job on top of regular school. Supporting each other is something friends do, right? So he’s happy to join the crowds, catch her eye and wave, and once in a while, provide her some comfort when she’s having anxiety spirals about being cringe.
After she mentions how tired she gets from meet&greets, he defaults to getting the backstage pass (thank you rich Grandpa), both to say hi and so that Keroli can have some decompression time with someone she doesn’t have to wear the wig around. Most of these passes come with lanyards, or posters, or little paper fans. He doesn’t keep the posters (it feels weird to have his friend Keroli’s face smiling at him in 1080HD when the rest of his friends are in glossy 4x6s) but the rest he takes home.
As a result, and because Little Imp is the only Netherworld song he knew for a while, most of his classmates think he’s a huge fan. He finds himself with Kuromu pins on his backpack, and purple/silver/gold hair ties stashed around the house. He tends to prefer the subtle merch that has her colors or maybe her name, but he’ll never turn down a gift from a friend, and he wouldn’t want Keroli to think he’s too embarrassed to support her.
Anyway. Iruma ends up with a small collection of Kuromu merch.
the money I would give to see Iruma talking through some of his triggers and parent-born CPTSD behaviors with Sullivan and Opera
the halting way he would bring up his disordered eating, the binging and the hoarding, recontextualizing an endearing habit into a symptom of his horrific abuse
hiding his face when he admits to the nightmares, and how long it took to teach himself to read, and how even with the translation spell the only way he could understand some of his classes were with the assistance of Balam’s picture books
bonus points if, one very low day, he cracks a (half)joke about how it would be just like his greedy human parents to charge Sullivan full price for a broken grandson
Angst and comfort ensues
