On Sunday afternoon, just before Greed And Fear made its telly debut, my mum and I finished Season Two on ABC iView. I still mourn the fact that we lost the six week roll out and I felt that pressure to rush through the season purely to avoid spoilers, hence the reason I have been absent from Tumblr this week, but oh my goodness.

I am abiding to my no future episode spoilers conduct here, to be fair to everyone. But what I wanted to say was WOW. This season has been nothing that I could have predicted, aside from some of the real life historical references influencing the direction of the show. The ability of the writers, the actors, to challenge our perceptions and add flaws to characters that we love, and give us more empathy and understanding for characters that we have historically disliked in Season One, it's beyond incredible. I definitely feel as though my brain was rewired through this season.

The bravery to take the show in frightening, more harrowing directions, to not resort to easy choices and options for all the characters, even the characters who got "happy ever afters" still have that layer of nuance of imperfections that still exist within that dimension that they are now occupying. I have been challenged in ways that I could never have anticipated with some of the storytelling decisions this season, but we will all be richer for it. Because stories are always richer when risks and unexpected twists are taken, and this show has catapulted into a brand new space for me.

I can't begin to tell you how proud I am to be a fan of this extraordinary show, to help further tell these stories, and more importantly, even more proud of the incredible team behind the show. They have DONE. THEIR. JOB. How brilliant to see an Australian story so carefully constructed and so well received by viewers everywhere.

AND! In another unexpected twist, Season Three was confirmed today! The welcomed chaos of Season Two will truly get the chance to be further explored, and looks like you're stuck with me and my fangirling shenanigans for another couple of years! 😂 Well done, Team Newsreader, well bloody done! 💖📺🌟🇦🇺📰🎥

looking into old neutral singular pronouns and it is making me insane how many questionable choices there are that i rarely see authors using for the period. where are the characters using um as a pronoun.

Let's think up new watcher shows they could do on the cheap. I'm thinking Steven teaching Ryan and Shane how to cook an affordable and yummy dish. Seems boring? Yeah, NOT ONE of those boys will behave. Even Steven Lim will fuck with his friends each episode. He'll make it extra spicy to fuck Shane up, Ryan will probably be all thumbs trying to stir but breaking into giggles each time, Shane keeps making awful puns while looking directly at the camera, Steven, too, will be staring directly to camera, but every time you see his soul dying a little bit as he has to be the adult in the room. I'd watch the FUCK out of that.

Or a show where they try to cook user submitted recipes. Steven could suggest improvements or variations. Shane and Ryan light the gas stove on fire and chant Latin to see if they can summon a demon who knows how to cook.

I love all of this so much. I can imagine the chaos of Steven trying to get the boys to cook. It would end up like That one episode of worth it where the ghoul boys eat wasabi crème puffs. I actually am going into a culinary program so I rewatch worth it a lot, I think they should have a cook off and have Adam and Ricky be the judges lol. Like the worth it boys and ghoul boys.

I wanna see more episodes like that one good mythical morning crossover but we get to see the behind the scenes of Steven making horrifying dishes. The professor watches shane eat spiders.

I also wanna see them make Shane drink holy water. Not related to a show I just think it would be funny.

You know that one bit about a cooking show where the judges are just some guys who don’t know shit about cooking and dock points arbitrarily? that with the boys lol.

Regarding the worth it boys, I feel like there has to be a spin they can do. Like maybe Ghost files releases the next ghost location and they have fans submit the best and worst food places in that area, and send the worth it boys to those without telling them whether they were the best or worst until after. I think it would just be really funny to see them show up to like a super rundown Dennys bc of locals submissions and just be like “guys, what the fuck.” loll

I have a question regarding a list of gods in Ugarit. Who are Baal-of-Ugarit and Baal-of-Sapun? Which of them refers to the Baal from the Baal Cycle? And especially, who are the other 'b'lm' listed?

Dennis Pardee concludes that Baal of Saphon is probably more or less identical with Baal as a literary character, while Baal of Ugarit would be more or less the same Baal as worshiped in the city itself/its main temple (Ritual and Cult at Ugarit, p. 276-277). Daniel Schwemer (The Storm-Gods of the Ancient Near East: Summary, Synthesis, Recent Studies: Part II, p. 10-11) also assumes that these are two manifestations of one deity, probably worshiped in the same temple. Essentially the same sort of difference as between invoking Inanna in Uruk as “just” Inanna and as Nin-Eanna, as opposed to two fully separate deities. Spencer J. Allen shows some skepticism, since technically no text actually identifies the two with each other (The Splintered Divine, p. 205-207), though he ultimately also admits that it’s probably safe to consider the cult of Baal of Ugarit an offshoot of the cult of Baal of Saphon (p. 212). He also concludes all available evidence confirms Baal of Saphon is Baal the literary character (p. 214).Beyond that, things get progressively more murky. As you probably already noticed, in at least one case (KTU 1.118) we have Baal of Saphon and then six nondescript “Baaluma”. Allen recently summarized some of the past attempts at identifying them (The Splintered Divine, p. 204-205); these include treating them as unspecified hypostases of Baal of Saphon; as a reference to cult images present in the temple(s); or possibly as fully independent deities who just happen to share the same moniker and simply rank slightly lower than Baal of Saphon.

I am not sure if anyone tried identifying the anonymous plural Baals with the two enigmatic non-geographical Baals who appear in some offering lists, Baal-kanapi, "Baal of the wing” (Pardee on p. 276 of Ritual and Cult suggests that this is essentially the Ugaritic understanding of Seth - presumably he means the style of depictions of Seth as a “divine foreigner” modeled on a typical weather god, but with wings), and the completely enigmatic Baal r’kt. I found nothing.

The final and most distinct case is that of Baal of Halab, who is obviously the weather god of Aleppo and rather clearly a distinct deity in Ugaritic imagination; in KTU 1.130 he receives offerings separately from Baal of Saphon. This situation repeats in KTU 1.148, but interestingly there he is listed before Baal of Saphon, as if he was the higher ranked deity. To be fair, in terms of religious and political influence Aleppo would arguably indeed be well beyond Mount Saphon. I think there is no real reason to treat Baal of Halab as identical with the Ugaritic Baal; the two are functionally as separate from each other as they are from Mesopotamian Adad. Hurrian sources from Ugarit recognize Teshub as the god of Aleppo, which matches the cultural "hurrianization" of the city at the time, but I’m not sure if we can necessarily assume that’s what everyone thought of when they took part in rituals referring to the god of Aleppo as Baal. Perhaps the situation was similar to when Zimri-Lim and his contemporaries made offerings to weather gods of Kumme or Arrapha without necessarily even knowing they were locally referred to as Teshub - we may never know.

Some more notes on the weather god of Aleppo and friends (in particular Pidray) below the cut, since they’re not fully relevant to your question.

Obviously, beyond the recognition of Dagan as Baal’s father, there’s little evidence for Aleppine influence on Ugaritic conception of the weather god and his circle, as far as I am aware. Saphon is the residence of the gods rather than an actual personified fully anthropomorphic weather god, there’s no trace of a bull chariot, Hebat, Tenu et al are absent, etc. This being said - there’s an interesting possibility that Pidray might have originated over there which would have huge implications. One of the only references to her from outside Ugarit, the oldest one yet at that, has recently been identified in an Akkadian-Amorite bilingual list by Andrew R. George and Manfred Krebernik, and they suggest she might have specifically originated around Aleppo as a daughter of the local weather god (Two Remarkable Vocabularies: Amorite-Akkadian Bilinguals!, p. 139). 

For what it’s worth, the weather god of Aleppo, with a permanent spouse etc., certainly fits the profile of a divine father more than unmarried Ugaritic Baal who at best has friends with benefits (that’s not my interpretation, for clarity, Schwemer wrote this, without using the term “friends with benefits” though); Pidray and her sisters being an awkwardly incorporated part of a different theological system would explain a lot. Also, it feels important for the case of Pidray that no matter how many times they are misidentified as “Canaanite” online, Resheph, Anat and Yarikh were also deities more popular in Amorite areas around the Middle Euphrates (in Yarikh’s case attestations actually go all the way up to Eshnunna!) and largely or entirely (depending on location and time period) absent from coastal areas; so even though the conception of weather god differed, I don’t think the recent shift towards treating Ugarit more and more as a part of a broader Amorite (or, better yet, Hurrian+Amorite) world is unjustified.

The Newsreader - when the breaking news is behind the camera 🎥🌟

.

.

When news emerges of what appears to be the biggest nuclear accident in history, with barely any details and sources available, what is a network to do? And how is a network supposed to navigate all this when all sorts of other meltdowns are happening within the office?

Revelations of unfaithfulness in love causing people to resign from their positions. Power structures being pushed and pulled to their utmost limits. Club legends being let go before they feel as though their time is up, and their families signing off on this. Threats of taking all of this and detailing it to the press in an exposé. If you were in the News At Six office on the day of the 29th April 1986, you would have easily been forgiven for not knowing that a nuclear disaster had happened at all. There were all sorts of other meltdowns to diffuse right here in the newsroom that you couldn’t not take any notice of.

If there’s something about Meltdown as an episode that stands out the most to me after almost three years of rewatching it, it’s that The Newsreader is never about just the one thing. It is an impossible thing to truly summarise each episode of this show, and I do not envy the impossible task that the ABC and the international streamers have in trying to create short and snappy episode synopses. When watching these episodes, you really want to soak in every detail about every character, every storyline, that leaving anything out or choosing which angle to focus on is like a game of mental hopscotch.

But that is the beauty of this show, in my eyes. It’s realising that even as these massive news stories were taking place in our history, every single person in the world had their own stories and debacles taking place too. None of these cancel out each other, because history is made with all of us living out our everyday lives, is it not? The breaking news and stories are truly behind the camera, through the everyday living we all carry out. Every single one of us create stories, and we’re truly constantly a part of making history, no matter whether these stories make the telly or papers or not. What will be the stories people tell of you for years to come?
