#The Contendings

[thetwistedrope]

The Predynastic texts do not provide any information regarding the origins of either Horus or Seth. However, in Spell P279 Horus and Seth are referred to as ‘brothers’. Throughout all the spells dealing with Seth the Elder, there is no vilification or condemnation of him, even when he is in conflict with Horus. Other than Horus always being referred to first, Seth is presented as an equal with Horus, and they work together for the benefit of the deceased king, who in turn becomes the embodiment of them. A distinct change in the relationship between Horus and Seth occurs within the texts associated with Osiris. Unlike the Predynastic relationship between Horus the Elder and Seth the Elder discussed above, that of Horus the Younger and Seth the Younger had violent overtones, with the two deities suffering mutilation at each other’s hands.

Witnesses Had To Describe How They Would Be Mutilated If They Lied

while absolutely messed up... I would honestly love a crime TV drama set in Ancient Egypt.

Heck, "the contendings of Seth & Horus" is only a UV light & foresincs kit away from inspiring a CSI spin-off.

“Which fictional universe would you rather live in—“ Star Trek. Star Trek. There is a correct answer and it’s Star Trek. “I want to have cool adventures—“ Star Trek. “I want to live in high tech but ethical peace and comfort” Star Trek. “I want to be a psychic alien—“ Star Trek. “But I want to do magic—“ do you know how much weird magic shit happens in Star Trek. Also Star Trek has holodecks you can pretend to be in Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or whatever and then come home to your usually peaceful interstellar community. There are basically no downsides to living in the Star Trek universe if you take the assumption that you remain you, a human living on Earth. You can join Starfleet or you can stay home and enjoy fully automated luxury gay space communism. The answer is Star Trek.

GO MY GERM 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

I had the idea to do a cell model cosplay beamed into my forebrain like visions from an angry god a few weeks ago and started working on this immediately. and good lord this was the most fun ive had on a project in a long time. like seriously it was so fun getting creative with these materials and thinking about fun ways to do all the organelles. while working on this i probably went "hehehehohohe" at least once an hour.

I think i'm going to name this guy Prota Z. Bacilli. If you look closely I do have every basic organelle that you'd expect from a cell model. (and thats a flu shot lol.)

also please appreciate this costume iteration because. i had to get my mail in this and freaked out my mailman.

like I'm sorry but I will keep posting about this until people stop being cunts and shitheads so I think we'll be here a good while. every time I talk about the colonial framing of australia and how colonialism is at work in modern day understandings of this country I only need to count to ten before every european and usamerican in sight starts spouting complete bullshit. why don't you all take a deep breath and examine why the fuck you're so wedded to the idea of australia you have in your head

hayden x monroe: into the dadverse

[thetwistedrope]

With the developments of Osiris worship of during the latter half of the 5th Dynasty (Griffiths 1980, 40, 44; Lorton 1985, 120; Bolshakov 1992, 203,210; Bolshakov 2001, 65), a major change in the portrayal of Seth occurs, resulting in the Predynastic Seth the Elder being replaced with what can be classified as Seth the Younger. Unlike his earlier incarnation, the Pyramid Texts place the later incarnation of Seth into the Heliopolitan Ennead, and trace his linage back to the creator god Atum. [...] The original function of Osiris as a god is again an unknown. However, Griffiths proposed that his first function was that of the god of the dead, and with the rise of Osiris worship in the Old Kingdom he became associated with the deceased king. In doing so he displaced both Horus and Seth from their Predynastic roles and association with the deceased king. Horus was recast in a new role, that of the living king and legitimate successor to the deceased king who was now identified as Osiris. This change in religious belief reinforced the political idea of the accession to the throne by the living heir of the deceased king. The newly deceased king and the crown prince reprise the roles of Osiris, the deceased royal father, and Horus, the living king and heir (Anthes 1959, 175-176, 205-206; Griffiths 1960, 21, 27; Lorton 1985, 120). However, as the displaced Seth no longer had any role associated with either the deceased or living king, he was allocated a new function, that of the villain, the murder of Osiris and the enemy of Horus. In this role, although a despicable one, he was essential, for it produced the initial impetus to begin the cycle of uninterrupted inheritance of the throne by the deceased king’s legitimate heir; ‘the king is dead, long live the king��. By this act of filial violence, Seth brings death into the world of the gods but rather than destroying Osiris, results instead in his temporary death and resurrection into an afterlife. The deceased king’s association with Osiris sanctioned the transference of the resurrection and afterlife to the king, granting him eternal life. This would not have occurred without the initial violent action of Seth.

(He did it on purpose to piss them off specifically) I think the MADS people are easily the most wretched horrible people in this story. They are also, unfortunately, potentially some of funniest. And I wish them nothing but misery for my own entertainment. [Original Post]
