Hey everyone! I recently finished my first LOTR artwork and I love it. I am really proud of it and I would love to show it to you all. Please let me know what you think!

[salt-angels]

this might be my silly inconsequential take about this but I think you should support your friends' art endeavours in whatever ways you can and very vehemently

say nice shit about their art. fangirl about it, compliment the art fundamentals or the vibe or the color whatever. share their posts online

it used to be so easy to create an art community online in the past and now it's hellish. fight the algorithms. spam your friends art. they will either rlly appreciate the attention or straight up need it.

theres something slightly heartbreaking about the thought that the people around you don't care about your creations. by all means, you should create art for yourself but also, sometimes that art is a direct window into your inner world and when friends and loved ones ignore that it can sting pretty bad

that's it folks be nice to each other out there and fight to create meaningful communities

"A poignant tableau, conspiring mother advising a distraught son. And you'll get no argument here if you were to interrupt and say, Lestat, an excellent time to end it. What words did she conjure up to turn me and that bus back around, you ask?  I'll never do them justice. Instead, let me paraphrase a more eminent vampire caught in a similar situation."

So, Casas del Turuñuelo in Guareña (Badajoz) is probably the most fascinating and important active archaeological site in Spain right now; it is a tartessic site, from the 6th-5th century BCE, extremely well preserved, and every excavation campaign shows incredible findings. Keep in mind, we know very little about the Tartessians, and the core of where they inhabited is either flooded or heavily populated, making it very hard to excavate. This site is at the northern edge of the sphere of influence of the civilization, pretty inland, and that's why it has been able to be fully excavated. I have already made posts about the masks , alphabet, and greek altar that were unearthed in previous excavations, in case you want to take a look at them.

This year, they unearthed this 5th century bronze chariot:

This is a votive chariot, dedicated to an unknown deity, that probably held myrrh or incense, and was used in ceremonies. It is decorated with the head of greek river god achelous between two griffins. here's a closer look at one of the griffins and of achelous:

(source)

apart from the greek elements, the structure of the chariot is reminiscent of etruscan ones, which further cements the idea that tartessians had a close relationship with other mediterranean peoples, and that there could even be greeks, etruscans, or other groups, living in tartessos!!! we already know that a lot of phoenicians were settled in this area, so it wouldn't be to far-fetched to assume tartessos was quite a diverse multi-cultural society. It is also especially relevant that all of this appeared far from the oldest and central parts of the culture, in the hinterlands, which indicates that in urban areas this intermixing of cultures was definitely more intense.

here are some relevant articles (in spanish) about the findings: here, here, and here

I like finding out what people my age and older had as their first cell phone. Anybody younger and their answer is a generic Android or iPhone. Phones from the 2000s were some wacky device like the sidekick or samsung x83 or lg env2

My first phone was a nokia 1112 in 2008

Honestly Matt has made the right decision, because dude... if he went to find the lions he'd die too, there are enemies everywhere. They made bad decisions and they had to deal with the conses of their quences.

ANYWAY. More tomorrow, I'm so tired lol.

I think Laura feels guilty because she was the one insisting to go find the statues even when Travis was like ARE WE SPLITTING THE PARTY?? But oh well.
