He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:

For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.

I have a headcanon that Kuki Sanban is autistic. I’m also sure she has ADHD. I think it’s strange that I haven’t seen a lot of people headcanon Kuki as autistic. I’ll list autistic and adhd traits she shows in KND. By the way, I’m also autistic.

She’s very emotional. She gets angry, upset and joyful easily.

Kuki’s special interest is Rainbow Monkeys and plushies in general. She knows a lot about them and treats them like they’re humans.

She gets distracted a lot.

Doesn’t usually pick up on social cues.

She uses her imagination a lot.

She keeps her hands in her sleeves, which is likely sensory related.

Lots of these traits can seen in episodes like Iscream, Fast Food, Report, Saturn, Naughty, Home and many more. I’m pretty sure Kuki’s parents are also autistic.

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
