why is it that the national museum of scotland can scan the lewis chessmen in 3d and publish it on sketchfab but the british museum has only regular photos like animals

El ajedrez de la isla de Lewis

La reina, pensativa. Es este ajedrez una pieza insólita de la que se sabe únicamente dónde fue encontrada (Escocia, de hecho, 11 piezas en el Museo Nacional de Escocia; el resto en el British Museum) pero del que se desconoce su origen para el que hay diversas teorías. El obispo con su báculo Pero comencemos por el principio: por describir este ajedrez: Las piezas de ajedrez de Lewis son un…

Eustace lost two games of chess to Reepicheep and began to get like his old and disagreeable self again, and Edmund said he wished they could have gone to America with Susan.

I mean, on the bright side, with the introduction of Time Fruits, the Fruits That Are Also Time, in the Ever After, RWBY does now have a way to reverse Jaune’s years of isolation. It’s not unreasonable to think that if there’s a fruit that reverses time for everything except the holder, then there’s also one that reverses time for the holder but not everyone else.

On the dim side, I’m pretty sure they won’t do that since the whole theme of this volume is ‘you cannot rid yourself of the bad things in your past, because they’re a part of who you are.’ Like -- Weiss can’t rid herself of Jacques, that’s a part of her; Blake can’t just get rid of her time in the White Fang and her feeling of being caught between two worlds, that’s a part of her; Ruby pawning off Summer’s emblem isn’t really a liberating moment of freeing herself from the shackles of the past, it’s presented as her carving off pieces of her identity.

And that’s ultimately the source of the conflict between the Cat and Jaune, right. To the Cat, it’s entirely reasonable that when the past catches up with you and you start to tire, that you just remove the baggage and refashion yourself into something new (even if, as he points out, your heart still remembers). To Jaune, that’s just dying, erasing who you were from the world.

So we’re still kind of in the position of ‘what happened to Jaune is irreversible’ because even if he does somehow magically get rewound, apart from being a betrayal of his own ethics, his experiences will still be there, engraved on him. Even the Cat admits that you can’t ever fully get rid of who you were. And we’re now seeing that actually, the damage to Jaune is worse than we previously thought. Because the Cat’s right, he’s not entirely sane anymore. His own story shows that: He willingly drank poison because he was terrified that he was somehow ruining Alyx’s story.

(Which also raises an interesting point for either Alyx or Lewis, whichever one of the siblings is the one who escaped. They wrote a story about their experiences, but cut out not just the bad parts, but an entire person, essentially trying to edit their own past, and now I’m even more sure that one of them is part of Salem’s inner circle. After all, Salem can sympathise with wanting to rewrite your past.)

Look i know merc is truly fucked with not even being able to overtake a struggling ferrari even with drs but i need toto to sell his soul to the devil so that we could have a battle with aston martin because i will literally die if i don't see lewis hamilton and fernando alonso battling out every race without being worried about one of them hitting the other

you know having seen a bit of spade white intro now ive fully come around to the unicorns just literally being a church. i think having a christian religious dictatorship made to exploit ppl in a world literally physically built in a way that renders christianity impossible (no heaven no hell you cant crucify someone for very long and just about everyone there has come back from the dead) AND which leans happilly into a murder happy culture (at least one of the ten commandments down and i dont think theyre doing great at some of the others either) is extremely very funny

if you wanted to sound snart (leaving that typo) you could say that the same way alice displays Alice Traits though entirely devoid of context (for example hates herself, but cannot recall why or for what reason) (ITS REALLY VERY SAD!!!) , quinn is displaying Noticably Christian Traits devoid of the context* and history** of irl christianity

*if there is wonderworld judaism, which i wholeheartedly believe there is, i really doubt unicornism was born from a sect within it like irl christianity was. i think it popped up fullformed.

**alice can recall that irl christians were involved in some sort of conflict a long time ago, but cant remember what. lmfao.
