Every fantasy story sits on a spectrum of anthropomorphized animal characters. Here let me show you:
The extremes of the spectrum are populated by The Lord of the Rings (humanoids only, no anthropomorphized animal characters) and Redwall (only anthropomorphized animal characters, no humanoids) and in the exact middle of the spectrum is The Chronicles of Narnia (healthy mix of humanoid characters and anthropomorphized animal characters)
So I was listening to Lore (a fantastic podcast by the way) and was introduced to a term I'd never heard of before: a potter's field, which refers to a common grave or vast cemetery of unknown/unidentified people (often times prisoners or those without next of kin were buried in potter's field as well) Now I've watched the fantastic cartoon mini series Over the Garden Wall probably a dozen times by now, it is hands down one of my favorite pieces of animation in recent years. It occurred to me that the inspiration for the town of Pottsfield in the show most likely came from this term. The townsfolk refer to the newly unearthed skeletal citizens as a "harvest" and with the exception of Enoch (the pseudo mayor/leader of Pottsfield) none of the residents of Pottsfield are named, likely referring to the unknown/unidentified status of those buried in potter's fields. Another neat bit is that the name Enoch likely derives from two separate men by the same name who feature in the Bible. Curiously enough, the Bible is also the origin of the term "potter's field" Just a neat little piece of lore and background about one of my favorite cartoons that I noticed only now, years after it aired! Well done to the creators!
My painting stream from last night :D Ended up with a nice little mountain view, made some happy little accidents along the way, and featured a special guest appearance of @snowydae who painted something of her own! Enjoy :)
Hey everybody! I wanted to share with you a project I’ve been working on recently. I bought a Raspberry Pi this Spring but for a while now it has been gathering dust and going unused. I decided to change that by building it into something that will take photos of a plant I have growing in my window sill so that they can be made into a timelapse. Every day at noon the bot will take a picture of my plant and post it to twitter (along with some wise words/motivational quotes to go along with it) and on the first day of each month it will compile and post a .gif of the previous month’s progress. I talk more in-depth about this project and the programming side of things as related to the image capturing here and plan to write more tomorrow in a separate blog post about the Twitter side of things. If you’d like to follow the bot on Twitter you can do so by going here or by searching for the Twitter @PL4NTB0T
I'm convinced that every '90s kid is a sleeper agent and Cascada's "Everytime We Touch" is our trigger. To what end I have no clue but it would explain why everyone I know goes hog fucking wild everytime it comes on.
