Cringetober Days 11 & 12: Yandere + Niche Interest
‼️Minor blood tw‼️
Since I missed yesterdays prompt I combined 11 and 12, and drew some fanart for the online horror series, Valle Verde!
Technically Foxxo isn’t a yandere, but he’s evil so it’s close enough.

Valles Marineris This enormous feature on Mars is a canyon on a scale we struggle to comprehend. It is 4000 kilometers long, comparable to the distance between New York and Los Angeles. It is up to 300 kilometers wide – comparable to the distance between New York and Boston. It is 11 kilometers deep at its greatest, more than 6 times the depth of the Grand Canyon and twice as deep as any measureable canyon on Earth. How in the world did this thing form?
Where Was Tarshish Located?
By Author Eli Kittim
In Second Chronicles 9.21, the Septuagint (LXX L.C.L. Brenton) translates the Hebrew “Tarshish” (תַּרְשִׁ֔ישׁ BHS) as Θαρσεῖς. The location of Θαρσεῖς——according to Josephus’ Jewish Antiquities (LCL 242: 62-63)——was in Tarsus Cilicia (the birth place of Saul of Tarsus, aka Paul the Apostle; Acts 22.3) in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), near the Mediterranean Sea. Greeks comprised a large portion of the population. It was a Greek colony. So, Tarshish does not appear to be in Spain as some commenters have suggested:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>Halisas gave his name to his subjects the Halisaeans—the modern Aeolians—and Tharsos to the Tharsians;
In Jonah 1.3 (LXX), the term “Tarshish” is spelled Tharsis and translated in the Greek as Θαρσὶς. In the Bible, Tarshish is said to comprise a cluster of islands: “For the coastlands shall wait for me, the ships of Tarshish first” (Isa. 60.9 NRSV cf. Isa. 23.6). The great ships of Tarshish are also mentioned in Isa. 2.16. Then, as now, Greece controlled one of the largest merchant fleets in the world. Moreover, according to Gen. 10.4, Tarshish was one of “The descendants of Javan [Greece]: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim [Cyprus], and Rodanim [Rhodes]” (cf. 1 Chr 1.7)!
Conclusion
Thus, both the internal and external evidence strongly suggest that Tarshish was located on the southern part of Anatolia, and that the region had undergone Greek ‘colonization’ by Greek and Aegean settlers:

After all, Ionia itself——located on the western coast of Anatolia in present-day Turkey——comprised the territories of the Ionian League of Greek settlements. As far back as 600–480 BCE, Greeks had settled on the shores and islands of the eastern Aegean Sea.
