Neftis dlh!

[askneftis-sam]

Q: “how did you come up with the nickname Iris for Neftis? And did Sam always know Neftis’ true name?” Iris is the name Sam gave the spirit in her millennium pendant after learning she had no memories nor name. It’s a name Iris treasured with all her being.

Sam: Thanks to my dad, since he loves mythology (he's an archaeologist in his spare time after all) I've always been in touch with ancient Gods stories. After I met the spirit of the Millennium Pendant I felt like she was some kind of messenger like the Greek Goddess Iris c: that's why I chose that name. And no, I didn't know her name was Neftis, that's why I gave her a name!

As for the name Neftis… Pegasus created the Phoenix card based on one of Sam's drawings that resembled a tablet that depicted both the phoenix and the blue eyes white dragon surrounding the Millennium rod and Millenium pendant. That tablet was made in honor to the two monsters that helped the nameless pharaoh, and as history was “recorded”, the phoenix was referenced as a “phoenix of Neftis”, meaning it belonged to Neftis. But Pegasus had no idea that was the name of a person so he attributed it to the goddess Nephthys when the hieroglyphics were translated and named the phoenix “Sacred phoenix of Nephthys”. So… you can imagine Sam’s total annoyance in the memory world arc when she learns it WAS Neftis’ name lol. I tried my best inventing that tablet with the phoenix and blue eyes lmao sorry if it’s messy, also of course I’m bullshitting the inscriptions so don’t be harsh on me. 😂 I had very little time to finish this.

And oh well, also she resembles the card Iris, the Earthmother -u-

Hey Sam/Iris. I don’t know if you still use this tumblr, but your on is amazing, probably the best one i’ve met (though Kisara is one of my favorite characters, it makes me sad how Nettie got to life a good, happy life while Kisara was..*sniff* stoned ;-;) *wipes tears* but it’s ok now! Your oc is just too great!

Hello there!! Wow that’s super kind of you, thank you so so much! I’m super glad you like my girls ;w;

I love Kisara too and yeah, though she does live a pretty harsh life compared to Nef, they at least meet again (and I expand her story with young Seto a bit more so their romance has more basis xD).

One thing I am doing though is that in the Memory World arc, one of Neftis’ missions in the Shadow RPG is saving Kisara from dying :3 and she will succeed. (the Shadow RPG is just a game recreating the past, it’s not the past itself, so Kisara living won’t change history at all).

(this is art I’ve made of Kisara in the style of duel links, please do not use without credit)

Character sheet for Sam, Iris and Neftis in the Memory World Arc.

My ocs are super old, and I think I've finally reached a final form for them, hence the details explained in these :3.

Got inspired by some ygo…arc V? Magazine pages for this, I’ve always wanted to make character profiles for these 2! Sam and Iris now have a bit more visual difference, Iris’ bangs are straight like Neftis’.

Some fun trivia about Neftis. When Pegasus found a tablet with what looked like a dragon (the same one from the Tablet of Lost Memories) and a phoenix linked to the Millenium Pendant and Rod, the Egyptian inscriptions described a “phoenix of Neftis” (referring to the phoenix that way bc it was Neftis’ ka). So Pegasus named the monster as such, thinking that was the monster’s name, linked to the Egyptian goddess Nephthys and not an individual. So Sam and all the Yugioh gang have always known Neftis’ name, they just had no idea xP. (Imagine Sam’s annoyance when she learned THAT was Iris’ real name in the memory world arc haha). (btw I write Neftis to refer to my Oc and Nephthys for the phoenix or the Egyptian goddess so it’s easier to differenciate, but both are pronounced the same way xD)

Amor, sexo y matrimonio en el antiguo Egipto

A pesar de que los matrimonios en el Antiguo Egipto se concertaban por la estabilidad comunitaria y el progreso personal, existe evidencia de que el amor romántico era tan importante para la gente como lo es para las personas en la actualidad. El amor romántico era un tema popular en la poesía, especialmente en el Imperio Nuevo (1570-1069 a.C.) cuando aparecen obras que alaban las virtudes del amante o la esposa.

Enterramiento en el antiguo Egipto

El enterramiento egipcio es el término común para los rituales funerarios del antiguo Egipto en cuanto a la muerte y el viaje del alma a la otra vida. La eternidad, según la estudiosa Margaret Bunson, "era el destino común de todo hombre, mujer y niño de Egipto" (87), pero no la "eternidad" como una otra vida más allá en las nubes, sino un Egipto eterno que era reflejo de la vida en la tierra.
