#AND NOT ONLY THAT

[ironspine]

Dear everyone who posts videos of this latest generation having tantrums and being entitled, and everyone who comments and reblogs and goes, "See! We were never like that. The world is going to end and they'll be doing their skibidi cocomelon dances as it burns!"

Yesterday I was at work, and saw that some bottles of soda had fallen out of their bin and rolled halfway under the freezers. Being very tired, I decided to pick them up later. But as I watched, two kids, like, elementary school age, running around and exploring while their mother shopped, came over and casually picked up the bottles and put them back. They weren't prompted by anyone, and they didn't look at either me or their mother for any kind of acknowledgment or reward. They just saw that something needed to be put away, and decided that they might as well be the ones to do it.

Jason, Tim, and Dick all get magically reverted to their robin selves and now Damian has to get them back to the cave to fix everything.

While they're all willing to follow Damian, (even if it's just to demand answers from Bruce on Dick and Jason's parts) only Tim is happy with the situation. ("I succeeded in being Robin and I get to hang out with both previous Robins and the new one? This is great!")

Dick thinks that his name was stolen 3 times. Jason thinks he was fired and kicked out like Dick was. Tim thinks he either died or found someone more fit to be Robin and support Bruce. Damian is just confused that his brothers seem to have done 180 of their opinions on him.

they just discovered an alphabet in the el turuñuelo tartessic site !!!!! this is huge !!!!!!

the tartessic culture is the oldest in the iberian peninsula, located in the southwestern corner of the peninsula and dated to around the 9th century BCE to the 5th/4th century BCE. in this map you can see in the brightest red the core of the culture, in darker red the dispersion to the north in later centuries, and in light red its cultural sphere, which spanned almost half of the peninsula.

if you are interested in the culture, i have a post about them.

el turuñuelo is an archaeological site located in guareña (guadajoz), in the northernmost point of the tartessos culture. it is with no doubt the singlemost important tartessic archaeological site, and i would even go on to say it is the biggest archaeological discovery of this century - at least in europe.

it was discovered in 2015, and it is a sanctuary or some sort of temple complex, which at first made the news because of its incredible state of preservation: a complete set of stairs and the remains of a horse hecatomb with at least 17 complete bodies were found in 2017.

it already was the most important tartessic archaeological site just because of that (there are very few tartessic sites and most of them are not very well preserved), but after the excavations halted during covid, these last few years they returned to the site and they have made amazing discoveries. the most well-known and televised one, that made it to the news and i got to see when they set up an exposition about them last summer, are the faces of el turuñuelo in 2023, the first ever representation of tartessians by tartessians. i made a post about them, if you are interested.

this year they not only found a large collection of tartessic ceramic - which lets us know that the temple was also an artisan and probably commercial center as well, as it was usual in ancient religious centers - but just a few days ago they discovered a slate plaque with human figures, that seem to be a sort of trial drawings made by some artisan

if they seem familiar, that's because it is in one of these plaques where the alphabet has been able to be traced down, being able to be confirmed only today (11/06/2024). this is only the third southwestern paleohispanic alphabet ever founded - an alphabet derived from the phoenician one - and the most recent. it is also distinct from the other two previously discovered ones, seeing some sort of dialectalism in the way this alphabet (or set of alphabets) worked. more importantly, it is the first one to note a tartessic language, which we know was not indoeuropean in nature and also distinct from the iberian languages of the mediterranean coast. this was a distinct language or languages.

this is very exciting not only because we have a tartessic alphabet, but also because we know from greek authors like strabo that tartessians were known to be scholars that had large libraries with all sorts of knowledge of the past. we also know that the greeks interacted with the tartessians. so. it is possible that, if el turuñuelo had one of these archives that strabo talked about, that more writting can be salvaged and not only that, we could find a bilingual text in tartessian and greek that could act as a rosetta stone to finally descipher tartessian, the oldest known language in the iberian peninsula.

i cannot wait to see what el turuñuelo brings us next, it's so very exciting !!!!!!!

i think that the most heartbreaking thing about log horizon for me personally is that it was SO good until it got real fucking weird about minori's crush on shiroe

is it normal for a middle school girl to have a crush on a much older guy who she looks up to and who treats her nicely? yeah, of course, and there's nothing wrong with portraying that either

where it gets really fucking squicky is when the narrative starts treating her as an actual (romantic) threat to the main love interest, who is ten years older than her. and did i mention the guy she has a crush on is also ten years older than her. and the main love interest gets jealous when the main character pays attention to this literal child

edit: also did i mention the main love interest also looks the same age as the middle schooler

Hey guys, if you’re following this person

I’d like to warn you that 6roe, or Roro is very problematic… and really mentally unstable so I’m just warning you guys and why?

She RECENTLY drew a fanart for LITERAL SCHOOL SH00TERS,

And as well, traced/got inspired by one of my artwork

I’m not saying that it’s bad to get inspired by someone, but she didn’t really source the link or even gave credits to me.

Sorry for the goofy fucking mess 🤐🤐🤐 but seriously tho, not only she drew that, she sexualized my persona 😭 there’s ALOT MORE. But I’ll explain them later

I should not have finished part 2 of bridgerton season 3. just as I feared. 🥲

I honestly feel like so much was missing? there were so many points that confused me because I felt like scenes were probably removed when they shouldn't have been

miss penelope you will always be famous

I know I said before that Nakamura’s manga version seems to follow novel canon pretty closely, but I take it back now that I’m looking in more detail at the section that Arakawa’s version has just covered!

Two children versus a man with a death wish 😧

Yes, that is Alfarid and Elam, inside Ecbatana after Hilmes has taken it and holding Sam at swordpoint
