thinks about how mads mikkelsen said the only thing going through hannibal’s mind when he realized will was going to tip them both over the cliff was overwhelming joy and peace and “so be it” -> goes insane
Deity who's unacquainted with concept of evolution creating a world with, like, twelve different kinds of creatures, thinking "yes, that's a good number – nice and symmetrical", then going on vacation for a couple million years and being very upset at what's waiting for them when they get back.
New Ea-nāṣir lore just dropped and I don't know how to feel about that. I hate the meme but the guy having thugs coming after him for bad copper sales is perfect.
Wait wait WAIT
As someone who hard agrees with all your tags re: tired of the meem
BUT who is also invested in antiquities
Is it possible for you to drop the new lore
So the building in Ur where the infamous tablet was found (1 “Old Street” Ur Excavations VII) was actually full of similar tablets, all detailing how badly this guy's deals went. All of these tablets were collected and put into storage at the British Museum. Typically this kind of thing gets forgotten about, many of these tablets have been sitting there for a century, untranslated or partially translated.
This was recently partially translated and it's incredibly fragmentary, but it's a letter from the man himself reassuring a customer in Larsa about a bad shipment (a lot of goods were missing). He is upset that the customer sent thugs to collect (which is located in a different tablet). In turn, he sends his own to the customer's home. They are to make offerings at the temple of Šamaš together to symbolically "smooth things over". They are taking an oath.
He later goes on to blame the customer for the missing ingots. He (Ea-nāṣir) decided to employ a third party to deliver said ingots to the customer (all the way in the next city-state in the Sumerian cultural sphere). It seems like the third party either stole or got into a fight with the customer over the goods.
Ea-nāṣir now has to haul his ass to Larsa to deal with this personally. There's a lot of "Why don't you believe me?" "They don't listen to me!" "Please don't send-" going on in the tablet. But from what I can gather it looks like this peace offering (making an oath at the temple of Šamaš) broke down too. Everyone is blaming each other for the missing copper ingots and now the man himself has to take the three-day journey to sort out this issue.
We have a name for one of the thugs: Mr. Shorty (kurûm). He seems to be a bit scary.
The man from Dilmun got kicked out of the Merchant's Guild for a reason, he's had this problem before with copper shipments from Elam. Either he's the world's worst judge of character or he's embezzling, and badly. This is his side hustle stage where he's selling everything from used clothing to speculating (badly) on real estate. He may have dabbled in money lending too. He's your classic failed finance bro.
hey can we talk about the fact that during our last battle that strange wizard we let join the party shouted "evil blast!" and then black lightning bursted from their fingertips?

i wouldn’t worry about it if i were you
the premise behind “what's your job gonna be post-rev” is still so funny
I currently slave away at Taco Bell, barely earning a living wage. I long for the day it will be the People's Taco Bell. among other dramatic changes, the baja blast will be red.
Red, the blood of angry men!
Black the dark of ages past!
Red, a world about to dawn!
Black, the night that brings baja blaAAAAAAASSTt!!!
there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.
Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you
”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.
And like, at least some of them are probably right. Yeah these disorders are less common than things like anxiety disorders, but they are more common than you think they are. Like, they probably shouldn't self diagnose without doing a reasonable amount of research and talking to a professional if possible, but not every single one of them is wrong, and being wrong about something is not the same thing as lying about having something you don't. Be nice to teenagers they're still learning
REAL PEOPLE CANT QUEERBAIT but misha collins can be told by his employers to pretend to be bisexual for the rest of his life hope that helps
The thing is, queerbaiting is by definition about media, fictional characters and how it is written. Celebs and companies absolutely can exploit queer fans for money and clout but that’s what that is. Exploitation and clout-chasing.
We know about it with Misha because he outright publicly told people his employer wanted him to keep up the act but we have to be extremely careful about claiming that’s what happening with other people without actual proof. Because what happened to Kit Connor, where he was made to feel like he had to come out? Could very well happen again.
If you feel like a celeb or a company is just clout-chasing queer people but don’t have actual proof of it like with Misha, my best advice is just ignore the person. Don’t give them that extra clout.
"Not everything is a poem it needs intent" yeah shut up you bitch.
Maybe accidents are beautiful. Ever think about that, dumbass?
“Not everything is
a poem it needs intent”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
