Showers (pl. sewer [reconstructed]) were a class of ritual cleansing chamber, commonly found at early Plastic Culture archaeological sites. Worshippers would step into the shower and rub themselves down with soap (a mixture of fat and caustic lye), and reportedly sing hymns (though this is contested by modern scholarship, on account of scant evidence). The importance of ritual purity in Plastic societies cannot be understated, and new uses for the shower are still being discovered.¹

Fig. 1: A preserved outdoor "shower head," in relatively good condition. These were used for bathing mendicant priests, as well as primitive livestock such as the automobile.

Fig. 2: A small type-B shower, one of the most common varieties. It is unknown whether these were decorative, reserved for hand-washing, or used for the ritual cleansing of children. Plastic Culture larvae are believed to have been between 15 and 300 centimeters long, but the molting process is poorly understood after all known depictions of hominid bioforms were defaced under the Great Iconoclasm of Yazrid I.

¹ Fragment 23 indicates they may have played a role in Plastic Culture psychosexual film and drama, but it is the only surviving document of this kind.

Me: “[impassioned ranting] —and then we might as well put baby in pelican head—“

Spouse, appalled: “No! Put baby in pelican MOUTH!”

which is funnier, shakra 100% believing a freshly hatched child tracks her all through pharloom, escapes the slab, scales mt fay, not to mention the endless body trail

or, shakra accepting hornet's "im old af" answer and STILL calling her child, bc shakra's a bit peeved thatt hornet didn't exchange names with her, so this ancient warrior will be "child wielding needle" until either hornet remembers how introductions work or someone /else/ can tell shakra her name

(we know which one happens first)

you guys like hollow knight? and silksong also? me too :)

anyway this is just like. a quickish doodle that i did because of this post . its a good post

asp1diske-art

back when i first played hollow knight with no spoilers, lurien was the first dreamer i reached. i hadn't really understood the story yet and i was just focusing on exploring, but the moment i entered the dream and heard the music i realized that this was something important. something irreversible. i was not ready. so i tried to get out of the dream.

but there is no exit in a dreamer's dream like the white palace or godhome. unlike the dream bosses you don't even get fall damage. the only way out is to kill the dreamer.

(edit: that's how it was back when i first played it. it seems to have been patched since then)

when i came out, the candles had been blown out.

the experience haunted me ever since.

I feel like the presence of Hornet’s damage voice lines and the fact that the music doesn’t become muffled like it does in HK confirms that the knight IS crying out in pain when it gets hurt. It just doesn’t have a voice, so “screaming” just sounds like silence.

Sooo I havent seen anyone point this out but, getting upgrades in silksong sure seems to be painful for Hornet. Every time we bind a silk skill, absorb a silk heart or bind someone (widow/GMS) Hornet screams/yelps and doesn't stop until you bind something completely, at wich point she screams again, louder. And then there is the fucking Red Memory. When I got there the first time I kept thinking "ok, she screams, fadeout and transition right?" but NO. Team cherry really wanted to hammer it in that this is NOT a good time for her, so you are also forced to see her scream her lungs out for a good ten seconds until she passes out (with that absolutely insane pure red/black frame). But all this kinda makes me think... was getting upgrades also this painful for the knight? When they absorbed the vengeful spirit, the very first spell, and straight up passed out cold, was it because of the pain? Other examples would be shade cloak and abyss shriek, where their shade form is forcibly brought out without breaking their shell. Were they in pain, but just didnt have a voice to express it?

an animated bowl – the images on the bowl are an ibex. when turned by the hands, we see the ibex leap to bite the leaves, and the images merge from one to the other in succession as if the animal was animated. iran, 2600 b.c.

#woah.

thinking about Aragorn's coronation lately for some reason
