*~* Intro *~*

“Jot it down, a stronger dose is needed for patient forty-seven, Arthur Harrow,” the nurse said, eying her younger colleague.

“He can’t keep his hands off our nurses. During the day he is actually quite docile and pleasant, but at night, a whole different person emerges. He keeps grabbing our nurses and getting quite handsy. Plus, he is incredibly strong when he has one of these psychoses. I think we need to double his dose and prevent him from harassing our colleagues. I have two of them who are refusing to work the night shift because of him.”

The younger nurse quietly scribbled down the new instructions and bit her lip. Her heart thumped in her chest, loudly, for both her former leader and her Goddess Ammit.

~* ~

“And?” the young nurse asked her taller friend, also dressed in a nurse’s outfit. They stood in the faint amber glow of the night light, safely away from Arthur Harrow’s chamber. Faint roaring faded until the drugs had made the man fall into a dreamless sleep.

“You were right,” the taller nurse replied. She pressed a hand to her chest to calm her own beating heart. “It is a good thing you called for me. Ammit is alive in him. Whenever he roars at night it is because she tries to come out,” here she paused, and both listened if they heard footsteps, but no one approached. The hallway remained quiet. “She reached out for me, mad with a desire to be free. Said that in order to be free, she needs Arthur to – Oh, I can hardly say it, but there is no kinder way to translate it - she literally said breed. It must be due to her crocodile nature. Surely it wasn’t intended to sound this harsh but yes. She says Arthur needs to breed. Then she tried to reach out for me, but I sidestepped her.”

The smaller nurse frowned, lost in thought. “You mean, our leader has to procreate?”

“A child,” the taller one said again. “She asked for a child produced by Arthur to unleash part of her powers within.”

“Did she say how this is to be done?” The other nurse asked again, worried. “Can it be done with anyone?”

“I can understand ancient Egyptian, but I do not know how to answer in it,” the taller nurse said. She paused and then smiled down at her friend. “But I do think by her hiss that I was not suitable. I would have let them if they had wanted me,” the nurse blushed now. Her smaller friend did the same, being of a similar state of mind. Who did not want to be the lucky chosen one to bear the famous Arthur Harrow’s child?  Especially those of his followers who had seen his power and awaited Ammit’s paradise with bated breath – none would refuse.

“We shall have to see who is suited then,” the smaller one replied. “Will you stick around to help me, Monique?”

Monique nodded with a knowing smile. “I could use the extra hours,” she said, chuckling. “Besides, I have missed our friendship. I’ll gladly stick around.” She hesitated. “So, what do you say? You’ll be up next?”

~ * ~  ONE ~ * ~

Arthur Harrow had seen you arrive from his spot behind the patio windows. It was a spot the nurses had put his wheelchair so he could enjoy the greenery outside of the hospital. He was stuck in the psychiatric ward part of it, but from this point, he had a view over the entrance that lead to the hospital part. The normal hospital was attached to the psychiatric ward via two heavily guarded doors and a hallway. They had made it deliberately difficult for the psychiatric patients to get into the hospital area because some of the patients would try and escape via that route, acting as if they were normal. Arthur wasn’t one of them though. He was content with just sitting and enjoying the little things in life. Not that the state he was in allowed for much more, with the heavy dose of medicine given to him.

But his content didn’t mean he had given up on his purpose. Ammit was still alive through him and within him, and at the beginning of his stay here he had brokered a deal with her that he would let her do whatever was necessary to get out, so long as she would spare him until she was free again. He was her vessel, nothing more. Valuable to her, because she inhabited his body, but powerless compared to how he was before.

She seemed to have accepted his offer and treated him as her avatar and servant still. She would leave him to his peace during the days and only emerge during the nights.

It wasn’t until one of the new nurses came to inform him of Ammit’s words that he understood the goddess had found a way to unleash her powers once more. It was a tricky, risky little plan, as patients were not allowed to become intimate with guests or other patients. But he understood that if it had to be done, it had to be done.

The task of producing a child now rested upon his shoulders. But Ammit and Arthur both held reservations. Arthur hadn’t been intimate with others for a long time. Not since he had joined Ammit on her quest and not since he tried to do penance for mistakes made earlier in his life. It didn’t help that he had become sort of numb and insensitive when it came to feelings such as arousal. Having known pain for most of his life, and now growing older and not feeling sex to be a necessary thing, Arthur had started to take delight in the fact that he felt no need to be intimate with lovers any longer. Asexual, one might even say. If the need for release became too high, and it seldomly was, he could always use his hand. But he found no pleasure in the act itself.

So to hear he had to perform intercourse to please his goddess was greatly unsettling to him.

He shared his reluctance with Ammit, who was uncomfortable in the body of the man and found herself more attracted to the male humans. On top of that came the many requirements she held for the one to carry Arthur’s child. A list, Arthur faintly was aware, which was long and demanding. It held things about looks, purity, innocence, fertility, and even factors that would ensure the child would be exactly as Ammit had pictured it to be.

A list full of needs that would never be met.

Arthur Harrow took delight in that knowledge, for it meant that he would not be forced easily by his goddess to lay with a woman he had never met before.

The nurses were another point of bother. Arthur had become aware that slowly, one by one, the asylum staff was being replaced by Ammit’s followers. A good thing concerning his safety, but a troublesome development for his privacy. The nurses would often appear at night to offer themselves to him as a potential mate. But when he had refused them all, they would bring in potential mates. Both young and mature women had been paraded in front of him, while he had been paralyzed. They had placed their hands on him and had tried to seduce him. But none had achieved the desired effect. Ammit had cursed Arthur silently for remaining unaffected and limp, but she had praised him afterward for respecting her list. It seemed neither of them had been tempted by the partners offered to them.

Which brought everything back to you. Arthur caught sight of you only a few weeks ago. He watched how you followed your mother into the hospital area, and how you left about an hour or two later. Intrigued by your looks and the way you moved, he asked the nurses to put him in this same spot again the very next day. And it had been like this for a while until he had discerned the pattern.

You came here each week on a Friday afternoon, visiting along with your mother who drove the two of you. You would arrive around two, then visit your elderly grandmother to play games with her in the hospital cafeteria and chat. After about an hour or two, the two of you would leave with a wave and a smile. Grandma would be in the hallway, in a wheelchair of her own, waving back at you while you smiled brightly.

That smile. It did things to him.

For the first time in years, Arthur felt himself stir. Aroused to a point where he felt his hands would no longer do. It could never be enough.

He longed for you ever since the first time he clapped eyes on you. It was a feeling he had tried to subdue, but it was no use. Ammit had felt it – and how could she not when she came to the surface in his body to find him fisting his own stiff cock? Ammit had taken delight in it.

Even now she watched along with him through his eyes and growled gently inside his head, the sound of approval.

You ticked all the boxes on Ammit’s list. Ammit, who despite having been sealed in Arthur’s body, still held some of her powers and instincts. Unlike Arthur, she didn’t need to hold your hands to read your scales. She could sense things like this. As if being trapped in his body had made her more like a crocodile in the water, eyes and nostrils still above, observing everything while being unobserved herself. Only those who knew she was there would be able to spot her. And she had sensed you were fertile and ready to become a mom.

Young enough, she crooned inside of Arthur’s mind, for more than one hatchling. Pretty enough, she continued, for you to enjoy. Innocent enough, she concluded, for her scales to tip to the light.

Arthur’s eyes darkened when he saw you enter the hospital, towing after your mother. He signaled with his hand, alerting the tall and slender nurse that belonged to his community. She came to stand next to him, placed her hands on the edges of his wheelchair, near his shoulders, and leaned down. She squinted her eyes, observing you and your mother as you entered the hallway.

“That girl,” Arthur murmured, voice weak by the number of drugs pumped through his system. Inside of him, Ammit crooned again. Make her swell, she thought, pump her full of your cum and see her turn round with your child. Let me pass my powers onto your hatchling.

“That girl?” the nurse asked, she gestured with her head.

Arthur merely nodded. There were no others he could have meant. Your mother would have been that woman. The nurse in the hallway would have been that nurse. And it was clear he wasn’t indicating any of the three elder men who sat in the hall, waiting for a taxi to come to pick them up.

The nurse slowly stood up again and nodded thoughtfully. “Let me bring you to your room so you can prepare.”

No questions asked, no doubts spoken. Arthur was glad she was like that, a follower who did not doubt the ways of Ammit. He felt how the chair dipped back slightly, then started to glide over the floor. Contently, he tapped his fingers against the armrests of the chair, humming a soft tune while the nurse wheeled him back to his room.

Inside of him, Ammit chortled happily. ~ * ~ End of Chapter ~* ~

AN: Hello dear readers, here's another shameless self-indulgent Patient Harrow x Reader insert I promised to write for someone. It starts out quite dark with the non-con start, but rapidly transforms into a more romantic tale with the angst slowly bleeding out of it and the fluff coming into play. I enjoy writing the more daily and ordinary activities for this. But there'll be lots of smut as well. Expected length: *Story length, no dirty thoughts tusk * I have not finished it yet, and knowing me, I am very curious to find out if I ever will. When I do, I will update the expected chapters for this fic in the chapter count, so keep an eye on that. Note: Despite the series being set in America, the situations and locations in this fic are based on my experiences in the local hospitals and on traditions in my area. You will see a lot of European influence. Requests: Thank you for sending in requests for scenes in this fic. I have tried to add as many of the requested situations as possible. I'll make a banner for this tale once I have decided about the title. Also, if people have Arthur Harrow stock material they wish to share, send it to me :3

[possibleplatypus]

I finally watched Moon Knight and I just wanted to say that I really love Ammit as a villain. She’s a beautiful giant crocodile lady with shiny long braided hair that turns into a tail. Literally eats sinners for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Would kill Baby Hitler or Thanos without a second thought. Used Alexander the Great as her Avatar. Was locked up for 2000 years and her devoted followers still managed to amass enough power to form a death cult dedicated to her and release her under the noses of all the other gods. First thing she does when she sees Khonshu is tell him he looks like shit and then beat his skeleton ass to the ground. Calm, assured way of speaking. Ruthless and remorseless. Unshakeable confidence and conviction in her vision of justice. Bit of a hypocrite for assigning Harrow as her Avatar despite his unbalanced scales, but hey she’s a villain so I’ll let it slide. I hope Marvel brings her back but I doubt they will and it pains me.

The Late Therocene: 65 million years post-establishment

Blades of Glory: The Saberleaf Savannahs

Saberleaf (Gladiphyton spp.), a silica-rich, sharp abrasive grass, has become the biggest game-changer in the Late Therocene. Formerly confined to Borealia, it evolved its highly-injurous defenses to cope with the grazing of a local hamtelope clade, the ungulopes. With the collision of Borealia with Nodera, however, this foliage would become highly invasive, crowding out the native grasses, and causing numerous local extinctions as herbivores starved en masse, until the ungulopes soon spread too to check the menace and allow local grasses, and native herbivores by extension, to rebound and thrive.

But while saberleaf exists in manageable quantities in most grasslands, cropped by ungulopes and outcompeted by other grasses, an unusual biome would emerge from the western coast of northern Easaterra, adjacent to the Fissorian Sea. In this elevated region, the soils were far too poor and dry to support the competing grasses-- weedwood and bleedweed. Here saberleaf would dominate, forming massive carpets of sharp vegetation: the saberleaf savannahs.

Its gentle-hued pale green creating a deceptive beauty, the saberleaf savannah is essentially a massive sea of razors covering an area roughly the surface area of the landmass of Iceland. Here no herbivores can survive save for the most specialized ones of all, and unsurprisingly, this region is inhabited solely by ungulopes, the only herbivores able to eat and trod on the sharp foliage without injury thanks to hard hooves and thickened digestive systems.

Here several endemic ungulopes thrive despite all odds, with adaptations that allow them to protect themselves against injury. The highland mockloud (Xenoceros duncani) is one such species, equipped with a thickened layer of dense woolly fur over its underside, protecting its body from abrasions when it lies down to rest. Its dorsal side, however, lacks this adaptation, as a full coat of this specialized pelage would be far too warm, and so mocklouds never rest on their sides or back whenever in open grassland. Their unusual anvil-shaped horn, in addition to serving as display and defense, also helps in tearing up saberleaf by the roots, which mocklouds then eat, stems, leaves, roots and all.

And with the absence of other herbivores, several other ungulopes would begin evolving to fill several niches empty here. One such species is the scruffalo (Bovinoides gladiophagus), an unusually large and stocky ungulope that in essence, fills the niche of the mison here as large herding plains grazers. While also feeding on leaves and stems, they have a particular fondness for the thick, water-storing rhizomes of saberleaf, and thus closely follow mocklouds when they dig up roots, to feed on the rhizomes exposed by their foraging. Similar to the mocklouds, the scruffalo has underbelly protection: thick, hairless leathery skin, resistant to lacerations when it reclines to rest.

Another unique ungulope is the tunehorn (Bifurceros gracilis), a browser that feeds on the equally tough sparse bushes and shrubs that grow in the saberleaf savannah. Distinctive by the forked horn that emerges from its keratinous headgear, the tunehorn browses on higher vegetation with similar defenses as saberleaf, in essence being a smaller version of another excluded herbivore: the girats. Unlike the mocklouds and scruffalos, however, tunehorns have less underbelly protection: they are notable for mostly sleeping standing up, as they are skittish, active creatures that can make do with only less than an hour of sleep at a time, always on the move to find food and avoid predators.

The sheer abrasiveness of the foliage here raises one major problem for many herbivores here: giving birth. Ungulopes typically give birth to twins at a time, which are quickly able to walk and run at just a few hours old. However, it takes time for the young ones to develop a resistance to the sharp grasses: so to keep safe, herds migrate for long distances to birthing grounds-- in coastal regions where the loose shoreline sand inhibits the saberleaf's growth, in rocky mountains where their young hide safely in caves and crevices, or in swampier regions with softer plants. Each species breeds at a different time of year and at a different location, where the young stay for several weeks, feeding on their mothers's milk, until their teeth, skin and digestive systems harden enough to follow their mother out into the razor-sharp grasslands.

But there is far more than just painful foliage to fear in the saberleaf savannah, for predators unlike any other roam this stretch of land. Carnohams, cat-like predators that fill large predator niches elsewhere, are unable to survive here, with their delicate paws vulnerable to injury from simply walking on saberleaf. There is, however, one clade of carnivores from southern Nodera that possessed an adaptation the carnohams did not: hooves.

The beelzeboars, carnivorous bumbaas converging heavily on entelodonts, prospered in this new land that excluded all their rivals. From mere scavengers who bullied their way to carcasses, they evolved into proper predators: forward-facing eyes and tusks modifed into stabbing pseudo-canines made them better cursorial hunters, while their hard hooves and thick, hairless leathery skin protect them from the saberleaf's sharp foliage, allowing them to thrive, and even breed, in this inhospitable biome without needing to migrate to rest and reproduce.

The largest species, the spotted boargon (Ammit suchocephalus), weighs up to almost a ton, and is more of an ambush hunter, lying in wait for its favorite prey-- scruffalo-- to come within pouncing range. A powerful, wide-opening mouth with incredible bite force serves it well as its primary means of attack, which, with its broad gape, prominent tusk-fangs and wide snout, results in a truly fearsome beast resembling almost a monstrous fusion of a crocodile, a hippo and a warthog. Solitary in nature, boargons roam wide territories, and are highly aggressive to their own species outside the breeding season. Their flesh-ripping incisors and tusk-fangs and powerful cracking molars allow them to rip apart and consume every part of a carcass, bones and all, and for small enough prey items they may swallow it whole, letting its powerful digestive enzymes do all the hard work.

However, not all beelzeboars are antisocial: a smaller species also native here are the hogyenas (Porcicyon spp.), a wolf-sized species which hunts in packs. Usually consisting of a mated pair and their grown offspring, hogyenas form pair bonds while older offspring stay with their parents until they find a mate. Using teamwork, they can take on ungulopes in teams, exploiting their less armored topsides by flipping them over and letting the grass itself help in injuring the prey, enough to take the fight out of the victim for them to easily target its vulnerable neck. Once prey is downed, the pack moves in to feast-- in an established pecking order, with the adult female geting first dibs, followed by the smaller adult male, and then the older offspring and finally the youngest. Fended off by fierce bites and squeals of their superior packmates, lower-ranking hogyenas are forced to wait for their turn of the scraps, if they're lucky: indeed, nearly half of hogyena pups fail to reach their first year due to starvation and harassment from older, more-aggressive siblings.

Even in a literal ocean of razor blades, life finds a way to thrive in the changing world of the Late Therocene. New species fill unusual niches as fortunate adaptations allow them to conquer and flourish in a biome unsuitable for anything else, and despite its location on the mainland, its deadly flora has allowed the saberleaf savannah to essentially evolve in isolation: and become a prime site for peculiar evolutionary forms, in a manner almost like the unique organisms that arise in the seclusion of an island.

BIOGRAPHY

( tw: death ) Devourer of the Dead. Eater of Hearts. That was what they had called her when she had simply come to be. There had not been a time where the demoness had been birthed from the womb of anyone. She had simply existed. The form she had taken to most had been that of a lion, crocodile and hippopotamus. It was one that she had decided upon because of the nature of those animals. Man-eating beasts. Anubis and Thoth had been by her side often when it came to what she did in the underworld. Her job was to simply handle things. Ammit had only ever known what it was like to be an executioner. She was the last fast the impure saw before they were devoured by the teeth of the lion her head had been. All of the pure had simply moved on to where they belonged and reached the immortality they so sought.

Egyptians feared Ammit. Everything she was reminded them of the judgement they would receive upon death. If their souls were not pure, they would not continue their lives. And was that not what they feared most? Ceasing to exist was certainly her nightmare. As a demoness, all she wanted was to do her job and make sure that Osiris was free of any souls that were deemed impure due to Ma’at’s feather. Those who did not belong there, she enjoyed taking their eternities from them and watching them meet their demise. She only sought out the protection of the Egyptian world. Like her siblings, she protected, but she was far more dangerous than them.

There had always been a difference between Tawaret, Bes and Ammit. Whereas her brother and sister were protecting that of women and children, Ammit thought she had a far greater role in protecting the afterlife from those who could destroy it. Although demons, they all stood for something good, protecting those who needed it most. And those that stood in Osiris living the rest of their immortality in peace deserved to be free from those that could disrupt that balance. That was where Tawaret and Ammit had found their differences.

Where the demoness, Tawaret, had found a husband, Ammit thought the other naive. What could a husband, no less one such as Apep, do to help their cause? All he would do was ruin the balance that had been perfectly kept by her. Why would her sister dare be with someone such as him. As far as Ammit was concerned, the god was beneath her and her siblings. All he knew to do was bring chaos to the world and that was certainly one thing she had not wanted for the Egyptian world or any other. Most thought the demoness a beast, but she was simply looking out for the safety of others. Unlike Apep, she would do anything to keep order not just for herself, but for others. What she wanted, she would get and she would not stop until it was done.

The veil was a tricky thing. Ammit truly had no real reason to be involved with it other than the fact that it was keeping those gods that deserved to be imprisoned in their rightful place. She would make sure they stayed there lest their souls be devoured by her and only her. However, there would be a time where one would escaped. The veil was tearing and there was only so much Ammit could do to stop it. How could she when her goal was only to keep the impure out of the underworld? There was nothing the demoness would doubt about herself, but she feared there would be nothing that could be done by her if the veil truly did fall.

Little did she know that the cracks within the walls of the veil would lead to the escape of Apep. Once imprisoned, he had crept his way out of where he had been held and Osiris had gotten word of it. Ammit had thought either Thoth or Anubis would be sent to bring the god back to the cage he had been confined to, but he had sent her. Perhaps it was the fact that the veil needed to be protected and Ammit was nothing if not protective of the world that only saw her as a monster. Good. She was glad that they feared her. It only meant that she would give those that were deemed unworthy exactly what they deserved. She would swallow them through the jaws of a lion into the stomach of a crocodile.

When she left to go up to the world, she had landed in Corinth Bay under the name of Sharifah Elrashidy. Being within the Greek world was not what she had planned, but Apep had decided to make himself comfortable within it. If she was going to protect the veil from someone like him, she was going to throw him back into the cage he so rightfully belonged within. And, when she was done, she was going to go home to her rightful place in the Hall of Judgement and keep her people safe.

Egyptian Goetia - Are You the Gatekeeper?

My development of a evocation system for communicating with Egyptian spirits is moving along nicely. I thought I would give some updates on how things are progressing. If you want to refer to my original post with the working theory, check it out here: https://emergentanimism.tumblr.com/post/188406957484/egyptian-goetia

TOOLS

Black Obsidian Mirror – The mirror acts as a means of communication. This has been consecrated by invoking Thoth and asking for his blessing, then leaving it out under the light of a full moon. I consecrated an obsidian ring I have at the same time, to act as a sort-of portable communication device in case spirits try to contact me outside of ritual.

Lapis Lazuli Pyramid – The pyramid acts as a vessel for the spirit to inhabit while visiting, a rough equivalent to the triangle or brass jar in other goetic systems. It provides a hospitable environment for the spirit to occupy while on this plane of existence. Sorry, Admiral, it’s not a trap. It is not meant to bind spirits. I chose the pyramid for its obvious connections to Egyptian spirituality, which were literally built to house spirits. I consecrated the Pyramid by invoking Thoth and calling upon the Ogdoad, more on them later.

Circle – I have somewhat of a practical streak, and I knew I wanted my circle to have certain physical characteristics. It had to be something that would fit in my temple space, something I could pick up and put away, and something I wouldn’t trip on. I’ve seen a lot of circles printed on sheets and tarps, and I’m sorry, but they look like a recipe for disaster. Step into one of those and they are bound to bunch up, slide around, and become a tripping hazard. Not a good idea when working in a space with a bunch of candles and pointy things. So, I found this rubberized mat:

A full moon being the perfect symbol for Thoth. It’s on its way right now. When I receive it, I plan on inscribing it with a snake, like many classic goetic circles, the snake being a symbol associated with magick in Ancient Egypt, and a whole bunch of other cultures as well.

The snake will contain prayer’s to Thoth in hieroglyphs, of which I have found plenty of examples of at Academia.edu.

SPIRITS

Many grimoires direct the magus to evoke certain spirits as facilitators before evoking the demons themselves. The Grimorium Verum has the magus evoke the elements first, to open the pathways between the material and non-material world. Of course, early Egyptians did not subscribe to the later classical Greek versions of the elements. But they did have something similar. If one sees elements as the stuff in which all existence is made, the Egyptians had a group of beings that provide the primordial building blocks of the universe – the aforementioned Ogdoad.

Ancient Egyptians had dozens of creation myths from city to city and through the 3,000 years of Egyptian culture. In the city of Khumun, which the Greeks renamed Hermopolis, Thoth was the principle deity, and the world was created by his children. Thoth created eight gods, The Ogdoad, who represented the primal forces of the universe. Though some of these gods are familiar to us now in different roles and with different associations, the myth of the Ogdoad is ancient and in some ways represent the primordial versions of these beings.

The key word being primordial—from the beginning—which for the Egyptians was the primordial chaos from which is brought the order of creation.

The Ogdoad were grouped in pairs, male and female. Each pair represented one of the primordial forces with each god having a different perspective on that force.

The Ogdoad are:

Nu – The Primordial Ocean/Nut (Nuit) – The Ocean of Stars: These gods represent space, as in area. All things in creation need a place to be. They are vast and contain room for all that is the universe.

Hehu – God of a Million Years/Hehut – The Timeless Desert: They represent all time. Time that changes, but also that which remains unchanged. Time is required for any action to occur, but what is important stands the test of time.

Kek – The Corrupting Darkness/Kekuit – The Comforting Darkness: Everything comes from the void. As humans, this element can both hurt and heal. The darkness corrupts, but is also in darkness we find rest.

Amun – The Unknowable Mystery/Amunet – The Mystery Revealed: Everything in the universe is either known or unknown. Some things we will never comprehend, yet they still influence our lives. Some things are revealed through gnosis, when our self is shown to us.

The Ogdoad will act as my “path openers,” to break down the walls between dimensions.

The Verum also instructs evoking a spirit named Scirlin. I think Jake Stratton-Kent got it right when describing the purpose of Scirlin in his commentary on the Trve Grimoire.

“This is the great intermediary of the system, who in common with Legba in Voodoo, Exu or Ellegua in Santeria and Umbanda, Ganesha in Hinduism, and Janus, Hecate, Anubis and various other gods of antiquity, is to be invoked first, so that the others may be contacted through his good offices.”

After much research, I found a being in Egyptian lore that, while not exactly the same type of spirit, has the characteristics to get the job done. She happens to be the most famous (infamous?) demon in all of Egyptian mythology. You may recognize her from one of the more well-known sections of the Book of Going Forth by Day (Book of the Dead). A part lion, part hippo, part crocodile demoness named Ammit.

Ammit guards the final passage to the underworld, and at times devours the souls of the unworthy dead. In this aspect, Ammit is not only an intermediary between the spirit world and the material world, but also the fulcrum between existence/non-existence itself. Ammit has the power to consign a spirit to complete oblivion.

That’s pretty much what I have so far. I have also acquired a partner in crime who wants to help me work on the system. I have always wanted to use a spirit board, as they can provide much clearer communication, but wrote it off, as such things work much better with more than one person operating them. Now that I have someone working with me, the spirit board is back in the game.

Stay tuned. Soon I promise I’ll get around to actually evoking some demons.

Rhydrus

Native to Africa, the Rhydrus resembles a cross between a Rhinoceros and a Hippopotamus and generally resides in lakes and waterways. Largely herbivorous, Rhydrus live in small troupes, usually led by the eldest female, with a few elder males, adult females, and young. Some adolescent males will break off from these troupes to roam, only meeting with them to mate. Although slow and ponderous on land, these creatures are swift in water and can stay submerged for a shockingly long time. While they cannot breathe water as Merpeople can, they are capable of rebreathing air using an alchemical interface in their lungs, as well as semi-surfacing to inhale via their hollow horns. These horns can grow to surprising length, and have long been prized by foreign big game hunters which are the creatures main predators.

Rhydrus are capable of going toe-to-toe with not just crocodiles but also hippopotami, though they will back off if their horns are damaged. By and large, however, Rhydri are generally peaceful unless provoked. While they are most commonly known for the sightings of them up and down the Nile - especially hornless juveniles surfacing for air, which are believed to have contributed to the depiction of Ammit the Destroyer, a figure of Ancient Egyptian cosmology - they are also found South of the Sahara, and it is believed that they may have migrated the distance long before the Sahara ever formed. Other theorists suggest that they may have migrated along the coast, as Rhydri are sometimes seen along the Egyptian edge of the Mediterranean. At present a number of muggle-born Magizoologists from across Africa are pushing to use muggle genetic testing to see how closely related these two groups of Rhydri are.

[possibleplatypus]

I'm SO GLAD you watched Moon Knight! I thought it was fantastic, and I like that it was completely separate from the MCU - the only reference I noticed was the mention of Madripoor - so it's refreshing to not have to deal with all the bullshit of the franchise declining. And I LOVE Ammit! She was kickass, and her voice Did Things to me 😍

Tbh I stayed away from Moon Knight because I heard the showrunners weren't going to respect Marc's Jewish heritage, but I kept hearing good reviews of the show (from people who are usually critical about Marvel) and I heard Layla was a strong female character so I thought I'd give it a chance. Overall I really enjoyed it. Not sure how accurate the Egyptian mythology or depictions of Egypt were but storywise it was like a refreshing oasis in the MCU wasteland :P the pacing was very interesting and different because you had the abrupt cut-offs when different personalities took over. It took a little more thinking than the standard Marvel fare to follow along. It took itself seriously (a rarity in the MCU), and I appreciated that. It also reminded me of The Mummy and Indiana Jones 🤣 And yes it was almost entirely disconnected, storywise, from the rest of the MCU 😂 no real mentions or cameos from other Avengers. They focused on the main characters (and especially on Marc and Steven’s personal journeys) instead of using the show as a jumping-off point for other franchises.

And Ammit!!! 😍😍😍 my goddess! You can't have a great superhero story without a great villain(s). She was the Big Bad, and she was so good at it. She had presence, and an absolute certainty in her own righteousness. Being locked away for 2000 years did not slow her down at all. And I agree with you about her voice! The deep, velvety voice was perfect for the evil crocodile woman 🤣

And it's interesting that while we can consider her the show's ultimate villain, Marc's main conflict was with himself/his different selves, his past, and his guilt; he was also in conflict with Khonshu (😒 majorly side-eying him after the last episode lmao) and Harrow. Ammit doesn't even appear and speak until the last episode, but her influence permeates the entire series.

Overall I did really enjoy it. I do understand that the show is not without fault, though-- they didn’t remove Marc’s Jewish heritage, but they did change his origin story from the comics from getting DID from tangling with a Nazi to getting DID because of an abusive mother 🤦‍♂️ they also didn’t show the anti-Semitism he faced during childhood. But that’s Disney for you...

[nm-illustration]

Day 18 of Inktober: Ammit also got a proper barista coffee, because Anubis is a GOOD FRIEND. Ammit was a female goddess that was part lion, hippopotamus and crocodile. She took part in the ritual 'Weighing of the hearts' - if the deceased failed the weighing, Ammit would devour them. Her titles include 'Eater of Hearts' and 'Great of Death'.

[personinlovewiththeimpossible]

So Ammit the Devourer from Ancient Egyptian mythology is referred to as a demoness/female demon— and is often portrayed as part crocodile, part lion, and part hippopotamus— but a lot of people portray the lion part of her with a mane (which is more common among male lions)??? Is Ammit a trans icon???

Gods of Ancient Egypt

By shirleytwofeathers

The deities listed here are by no means all those recorded in the Egyptian pantheon. It would be impossible to list them all. Anyone interested in an in-depth study of Egyptian deities should read The Gods of the Egyptians by E. A. Wallis Budge. Also there are vast differences in the spellings of Egyptian deity names. This is because Egyptian hieroglyphs had no vowels.

This is a simple list of Egyptian gods and goddesses from Egyptian mythology, along with their titles and some of their attributes. The ancient Egyptians worshipped many gods at different times and in different places. Some gods changed in importance over time.

assassin’s creed origins

2 days and 24hrs of playtime later... spoilers below cut

i completed ‘the hyena’ last night. random thoughts:

it definitely feels like a mix of an rpg and typical assassination stuff now. honestly i’m still not thrilled about the rpg stuff, i’m not entirely convinced the series needed it (particularly the new combat system - nty), but there are some things i don’t mind, like having an inventory, ONLY because there seems to be no limit to items you can carry, so like, THANK GOD

layla hassan is an angel and i want to be her girlfriend

bayek is a protector for ALL of egypt and the last medjay left (why?? how does he know this??? surely there are at least one or two others? are they being hunted), and while this and his past is cause for angst internally, he is so genuinely kindhearted and good with kids (AND ANIMALS!! HE TALKS TO ANIMALS AND PETS CATS AND REASSURES THEM IT’LL BE OK). on the flip side there is this ruthless sense of vengeance that drives him to be vigorously thorough in assassinating his targets

i didnt care much for the first ‘wave’ of assassinations, but now that we’re on the second (the scarab/the hyena/the crocodile/can’t remember the last one) i like that we’re taking more time out to get to know them, particularly the scarab. i did not see that coming until the actual dinner lmfao, and then when bayek faints and wakes up in the desert and you see ‘THE SCARAB’ with his real identity appear below, like, chills man. also the hyena’s story was really sad and i kept hoping bayek might decide to sway her to his cause instead out of their shared experience. like, when they both died, i got serious chills man, esp when the hyena got dragged into the underworld by her own animals. (i wondered for a second if they were meant to symbolize ammit?)

speaking of the hyena, i don’t know if i’m exaggerating or imagining this, but i want to be on the lookout for stuff like this. so far the hyena and scarab are the darkest skinned prominent black characters (that i’ve noticed) and they’ve both been evil. particularly the hyena, who’s the only prominent black woman aside from aya, who’s light skinned. (i keep waiting for more women...) also i’m just, not really thrilled by the whole ‘motherhood gone wrong’ aspect, i find it kind of lazy and think you can come up w something more interesting for a female villain, but also part of me doesn’t really want to argue it ‘cause it does seem like it’ll be a plot point later.

also: first civilization stuff. what the FUCK was up with that and why did bayek have, like, no reaction to it? i listened to a ten-minute long lecture from one of the first civ and tripped tf out, and bayek is just... *shrugs* “ok time to kill my target” then when the hyena says “you saw it too??” and he says “it wasn’t meant for us!” like bayek would probably rationalize it as a message from the gods, right? he’s not a HIGHLY religious man (i mean he steals from tombs ffs, tho that’s another thing that annoys me, why would someone who values the pharaoh so much be ok with grave robbing -- i know they excuse it with him “needing this for his journey” when he says “forgive me great amun, i have need of this” but... idk, i feel like an egyptian at his rank might be a little more respectful?) but he is spiritual in that he believes in the gods’ power, so i’ve been thinking/assuming his interactions with the First Civ are going to be framed within that belief. i’m a little nervous about this tbh, i don’t want this to be a “the egyptians actually built the pyramids thanks to aliens/the ones who came before, and all their gods are myths!!!” story, but.... i dunno, i have some hope
