you said in your post about egypt that you wished people would pay more attention to other spots- would you mind telling us about those spots? like, in your opinion, what are the most beautiful things in egypt?
!!! IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED
usually people like to visit the pyramids, the library of alexandria and alexandrian beaches and some temples in upper egypt which yk understandable they're incredible, but there's so much more to see!!
in the heart of cairo there's so many beautiful historic religious places to visit. coptic cairo is stunning, i recommend anyone visiting egypt to go visit a coptic church if they can the architecture will blow you awayyy my parents took me to visit one when i was really young and to this day it's one of my favorite memories of egypt. and the mosques too! we have some of the oldest mosques in africa they're definitely worth a visit.
the siwa oasis!! i haven't been there myself and i'm literally never not salty about it😭 every time we try to plan a trip there something comes up </3
on the north coast, alex is by far the most visited city (for good reason) but in terms of beaches and resorts i prefer marsa matrouh it's less crowded, and the water is so clear it's insane
on the red sea sharm el sheikh is a mustttt visit destination, i went snorkeling there for the first time and got see the pretty coral reefs it's one of my favorite places everrrr in egypt <33
taba is also another place in sinai that looks freaking unreal but i haven't been there yet
i haven't been to upper egypt unfortunately but aside from visiting the famous temples in luxor and aswan i really want to see nubian architecture in person, it's so colorful and full of life
#*upper egypt is actually southern egypt btw the naming is ancient egyptian#inbox#there's so many places i didn't even mention like wadi el hitan and port said and al arish ugh

can the mtt commit more crimes that just murder please i know theyre the MURDER time trio but ppppleasse,,,, please,,,,,,
they'd be terrible to be next to on the highway. horror's going 160 mph amd has long past gone over the speed limit. dust's out for BLOOD and by blood i mean your tires. he's somehow sniping those round rubber wheels from the high moving vehicle with the precision of a master fruit ninja player. if your car explodes or flips over in the process that's not his fault. and then to make matters worse for everyone on the highway killer's in the backseat scratching up the doors and windows of your car with a knife everytime horror gets close to another car and oops he accidentally just disfigured your face also did i mention theyre all drunk during this
ok so theyve all got the classic face WHY DONT THEY ABUSE IT!!!! horror gets to do a little paper mache to cover up his head hole and then wearing glasses. killer i dont know what the FUCK he can do to get rid of his perpetual tears but let's just pretend that theyre conveniently gone for now. and then all dust has to do is put down his hood! anyways identity theft is cool. imagine how much they could totally fuck up classic's reputation with this. set up fake tinder profiles and then scam people for their credit card info/free dates (while ordering every expensive thing) and stealing wallets. walking into various grillby's's around the multiverse and telling terrible jokes. like ACTUALLY bad jokes. and then of course just being a huge piece of shit at the bar. god theres so many things they could do pretending to be classic. which one of us is hikaru looking ahh except the only difference between the three is the color of the stains on their clothes (either gray (dust) black (killer) or red. well faded red (horror))
ROBBERY!!!! ROBBERIES PLURAL!!!??? train robbery gas station robbery bank robbery GOVERNMENT robbery (what would you rob the government for?? documents??? idk) anyways. mtt robbing a train except its just a really shitty plan and they dont know jackshit about what theyre doing. killer's taken over the conductor's cabin and now he is booking it. how fast are trains allowed to go idk but the maximum. anyways meanwhile horror's on the tracks fucking up the rails with his strength or whatever (listen i know he's weak but picking and choosing what hcs i believe in is my art) and dust is there to teleport him away before the train crashes into him and turns him into a trolley problem victim. and then of course that shit doesnt fucking work and the train just ends up flipping over and catching on fire or something (killer survives because of course he does he's killer). and then in the end dust just has to flip the entire train over and they just stroll into the part that actually HAS the money
and then they go out and get ice cream. sometimes the murderers need to take a break from murdering and just do NORMAL crime yk???
#dragging this absolutely ancient draft out of the trenches because i've been having a scene in my head that fits this#i mean not REALLY related to this since its not a crime. more like him reckless abandon of life! their own lives! yeah they die#imagining.... trio driving around in the mountains. dust's driving ans horror's in the passenger and killer's in the back seat because he i#and dust just starts speeding up like...... much more than he really should be in the fucking mountains#and killer points it out and now all of a sudden horror is absolutely terrified LMAOOOO trying to get dust to slow down#and then they crash. but if there's no one more determined in the world killer can always load a save and theyre alive again#and dust is STILL speeding when they come back even with the knowledge that they die and horror's still terrified#but dust just tells him to calm down and loosen up a little bit!!! theyll come back afterwards anyways and they dont even die in pain#and after a few more deaths horrors just like. ugh. fine. you know what FINE ILL GO ALONG WITH IT#he says as he starts laughing along with dust because man!! the feeling of looking out at nature right before they die in a blaze of glory#is GREAT!!!! and then you know something something horrordust have trust in killer to bring them back after they all die#something something horror is willing to give up his usual reservations to have fun with the other two#and its so fun afterwards.... because nobody but them gets hurt!!! dust and horror wouldnt wanna hurt anyone after their au lore#and killer has no reason to in this scenario. so it all works out for them!! the only people getting hurt are them and lowkey they deservei#the sans in the au is probably sooo confused as to why the world is reloading even though theres no human doing so 💀 killer you GOOF#theyve probably all died so many times but only they remember it. soooo cute.... only they get to see each other at their weakest 💔💔💔#killer absolutely abuses the save point when theyre all together i just knowww ittttt sooooo well#he wants everything to continue not restart or go back??? ok but everything IS continuous with these two#not like they stay doing one thing over and over anyways so its not really perpetual. anyways dust and horror would get bored along with hi#if they just kept doing the exact same thing over and over trying to find every possible ending. nahhhh#triglycercule this is sooo unhealthy none of them would do this!! ok well they make each other worse who said it was ever gonna be healthy#screw EVERYONE in the violet banquet discord server who indulged me in my trio waltz dancing in a field of flowers at 3 am. brainrot now...#this scene i described in tags totally happened in my trio meet each other fic btw. just that it hasn't gotten to this point at ALL yet 💀💀#tricule rant#killer sans#dust sans#horror sans#murder time trio#sans au#utmv

Hm. Gladiator! Jason thoughts
#and if I said au Ancient Greek au where Jason’s been a gladiator since he was born#and lex Luthor seized Gotham city after the Waynes are ‘mysteriously’ murdered.#making bruce a courtesan who just really wants to take this beast of a boy under his wing#and jason is fighting everyday to buy his freedom because thats been his father#since Bruce wiped the blood off his hands. then what.#and maybe throw pretty boy jaime in there. Maybe.#anyway something something the human need to love something. even bloody. something something#jason todd#bruce wayne#this is just about Bruce looking at that 6’4 240 pound battle machine and thinking baby bird. baby.

Ok but can we talk about the absolute horror of being watched and monitored 24/7 that the ancients must have had. The citizenship drones being like an Alexa that's constantly following and listening to you (except it's five pebbles and not Alexa lmao). The fucking OVERSEERS. THEY'RE CALLED THAT FOR A REASON. BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING THEIR CITIZENS AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENT ALL THE TIME. (I would talk about the fact that they all show arti fucking ads as well but honestly idk what else to say about that. Capitalism got yet another society 😔). That's some fucking nightmare fuel dystopian society settings we are being hinted at. You know the Big Brother Is Watching You thing. The book. Yeah that's what it reminds me of.
The Iterator Is Watching You.
#imagine not being able to escape being watched any second of your life#imagine being one of the first ancients who saw an iterator come into being#imagine being one of the first ancients who had to go live on top of them#imagine being one of the first amcients to be constantly scrutinized by the overseers#i bet they knew this wasn't really a good thing#no matter how religious they were. by the time of pebbles though they were far too religiously indoctrinated to realize this was bad#(as a society i mean. theres always some who disagree and figure out what's going on)#disclaimer i have never read the book i am talking about and only know it through references and pop culture. still tho yk what i mean#rain world#rainworld#rain world iterator#rw iterator#iterator#rw five pebbles#five pebbles#im tagging him too even tho hes only mentioned i wanna reach more ppl with this#pls i may not have said everything i wanted to say cause i cant get my thoughts straight rn but i want to hear what yall think about this#agh the whole situation is so fucked imagine being the Big Brother in this and not even having a choice in it.#imagine that everyone with critical thinking knows this and cant do anything about it.#not even mentioning the cataclysmic level rain the iterators brought. like dude who thought this was a good idea.#imagine all this + the end of the world and its ecosystem as you know it happening right before your eyes#and you cant even blame the person at fault that much bc they were literally fucking born into this#rw overseer#forgot this one#rw ancients

can you imagine if the Scientia family had also existed in Ancient Lucis
what if one of Ignis' ancestors had been there to keep Ardyn & Somnus in line and tell them to get their shit together
the entire plot of the game would never have happened
#like in general how funny is it that Ignis has so much control over the Lucis Caelums lmfao#he kicked Noctis' ass. he kicked Ardyn's ass. he kicked Somnus' ass. he said fuck you to the ancient kings and survived the Ring#even the gods themselves would tremble before this man and i bet Bahamut knows it too#ignis scientia#final fantasy xv#ffxv

I noticed that you put "wanda" in the tags of art you reblog, I was wondering what it meant :00
Sorry TTwTT I’ve gotten the same question like four times it always sends me it’s only the wanda tag xD It’s like a very old tumblr thing maybe nobody does it anymore but you can have a tag with your mutual’s or your friend’s nicknames or even artists you like to just find the stuff you reblogged from them again on your blog? :> it was also something that made it easier for you to find stuff they tagged you on in their blog in case you missed anything ?? But I just started tagging all the posts they made too >>; to keep it organized =w= actually idk why I do it (・´ω`・)
#this was just a thing my mutuals did even before tumblr showed you what people said in their tags#when they reblogged from you =w= it’s been a decade holy heck#pix answers#but yeee to answer everyone who been asking about the wanda tag xD#it’s just funny because I tag other friends 😭 but y’all only notice wanda#it’s like quietly tagging them without having to @ their url#but yeah#great quastion#ancient tumblr things nobody knows about anymore 😔

I doubt the devs meant for cloud strife to be so autistic-coded, but holy hell does he come across autistic
#the number of times I’ve said he’s just like me fr#esp in rebirth there have been multiple moments i just pointed at the screen and said autism#the beginning when tifa is talking about how she saw someone they used to know with a woman who looks like a model or something#then notices cloud and says ‘but you’re not interested in this are you’ and he just bluntly replies ‘not really’ and then after a second of#silence adds ‘uh but I’ll listen. go on’ i screamed#then later when aerith asks him what kind of swimsuit he’d like to see#probably i think flirting#and he launches into a spiel about how he prefers function over form and it needs to be practical and he has a lot of specific opinions abt#this and aerith is just standing there like🧍♀️#when you first get to the gold saucer and barret notices cloud is not vibing w this big bright loud amusement park and offers that they#go find the hotel and rest#when aerith is giving her speech about being an ancient i chose ‘smile’ as a way to quietly encourage her#and cloud could not do it on command. it was so bad#the fact that you can get really into queen’s blood and have cloud collect all the cards and become the highest ranked player in the world#(which is what i have been doing)#even though this literally has nothing to do w the quest he’s on#the way he just in general does not seem to like being touched or touching others often#autism. autism autism autism autism#final fantasy

Frustrating when a VC-funded company gets credit for being the "first" and the "leader," when they had a sub-component demo the same week we had a full-system demo. Like, we are easily 5-10 years ahead of them, it's ridiculous; their approach isn't even yet proven to work. But they get science youtubers talking about them.
Because they're VC-funded, they have a marketing/press department.
And because we're an employee-owned company working off of government contracts, well, most government contracts get slapped with an ITAR label (an old Cold-War-era law saying basically sharing scientific information counts as illegally selling arms/munitions). So if you want to publicize your work, including your company's products, you have to appeal that label. (Universities have specifically negotiated a blanket exemption, so if you spend your whole life in academic science you might never even know about this.)
(My previous employer filed those appeals several times a year in order to do press releases and publish journal articles and apply for patents. I think every single information-release appeal they filed went through, because there's no reason any of this stuff should be labeled as arms--it's literally the same stuff universities are doing. My current employer is afraid to, which I think is wrong-headed; at worst they'll just say no, and anyway, our non-restricted competitors are giving fucking lab tours to youtubers.)
#these restrictions mean you also can't have employees on visas working on these projects#my previous employer tried to appeal that too and failed--they were only able to appeal the dissemination of information part#so we had locked labs that my international coworkers weren't allowed in#(one got a green card and was allowed in eventually)#ironically the VC-funded company is doing it the same way I did it in my PhD thesis#two other people at the company did this stuff in their post-docs#all of us are over 40 (one guy is over 50 I'm pretty sure) so this is not a new technique--I got two MINOR papers on it 16 years ago#the MAJOR papers are like 25 years old#and we're all convinced it's NOT the right approach#granted the technique we are using is about 30 years old#in my literal thesis defense one of my committee members asked why I was using the technique the VC companies are now using#and if I had done the math to prove it was superior to the older technique#and I was like--everyone knows the new technique is superior that's why it's trendy#and my advisor (who was a genius) said the same thing and that it wasn't a fair question#but the guy who asked it was an ancient theorist who REALLY knew what he was talking about#and in retrospect he was completely right--I should have done the math comparing the techniques and the older technique IS better#a few weeks into my job here I did the math and found that if you use the BEST version of the new technique--one that only one group#has demonstrated can even be done and they didn't get all the way to the point of demonstrating an application like this#and you assume some generous efficiency numbers#it breaks even with the old technique#that's not what this VC group is doing so... not a chance lol

regretfully this is me seeing any modern interpretation of greek mythology now
#tumblr fyp has given me some great fanart but i don’t know if i like the medias its coming from lol#getting mad about ‘mischaracterization’ but it’s like about like ancient epics is somehow funny to me#euripides & cdpr = ‘yeah its fanfiction ok but it’s really good fanfiction so we choose to accept it’#the elbow-high diaries#edit: i said ‘ok dont get mad at it until you actually look at the full lyrics’#looked at it. got more pissed. my gut feeling was correct#stop purposefully misinterpreting homer to suit modern narratives 2k24!!#you didn’t even get the symbolism right??#you’re marvelizing the poem noooooo#dude why are my two book interests like homer and sapkowski when no one reads either and then does whatever the fuck they want#i feel like these problems could be solved by getting off tumblr and going to get a masters instead

I am generally known as a nice and gentle person. I like being kind. It comes naturally, it makes me happy, etc etc.
I am a nice person.
Except when I'm tidying my parents' house, at which point I am instantly transformed into a petty bitch.
#this isn't even a GENERAL tidying-up thing it is really only when I'm in my childhood home#it isn't even helpful! So I don't know why I go from a person who might say 'oh dear would you like some help with that'#to cheerfully announcing 'HelLO' as I drop a pile of ancient partially moldy crafting material right in front of my parents on the table#and daring them to finally permit me to throw them out with a mean grin#to be fair I applied for an evaluation of said materials in late summer I think and they've been just kinda on the basement floor since then#one is a pot of prw-prepared paper mache that is miraculously still soft (but moldy)#and as my father says. Ceramics don't usually mold per se#but it does when you collect the material from a cave in france ca 2012. wrap it in a wet rag. And then forget about it for a decase or so#we threw the baby out WITH the bathwater (didn't even open the tupperware)#chaos rambles
