[sadasspisces]

idk what i want next; 11 tattoos and counting 🤷🏼‍♀️😩

[mxswell]

if Venom guilty gear had a tattoo would it be the eye of horus as a tramp stamp or as a womb tattoo

[imaginalstudio]

Came outside and this was in the mouth of one the stray cats that hang around. I'm surprised it survived tbh.

Even the rednecks are turning illuminati.

We are fucking screwed.

[gaaaaaaaayypr]

Yay for thic thighs. Nay for illuminati eyes.

[korekiyo-defence-squad]

Those aren't illuminati eyes, they're Eyes of Horus! Though often associated with protection and healing, the symbol initially came from the story of Horus offering his eye to Osiris after Osiris's death, and so it's likely in this context to be associated with its meaning in ritual/funerary offerings, maybe a tribute to the dead students, or even an implication that the remaining students are 'already dead'; a wordless threat against them.

Parallels: Eye, eye, eye! Unexplained ‘Illuminati’ eyes associated with Ch6.

have you done a tattoo tour before please? would love to see all your video game tatts!

oh sure! Only like, 2.2 of them are video games though heh

The biggest and best is TLOU Ellie's tattoo - I redrew the whole thing as the moth in the og design isn't symmetrical and was too big for my liking. I also added the Firefly's symbol.

Then there is (left) a Sunwing Heart symbol from Horizon Forbidden West, as I love my big birb friends, and (right) my own design with symbols that represent different characters significant to me. The 'arrow' tip is a HZD symbol for Aloy

Then non-game related, I have Ahsoka's fulcrum symbol, and a bee with honeycomb on my thigh (I just think they're neat). I also have an Eye of Horus on my hip but you don't need to see that lol.

Black person with an ankh necklace, eye or horus tattoo and a wig made from a chinese girls hair puts down the hannukah kwanzaa menorah to go tell a white person with dreadlocks they are culturally appropriating.

[mephistoarchive]

corny jonelias au where they decide to get wedjat “𓂀” tattoos together. i’m thinking the left eye aka “the eye of horus” for jon, and the right one aka “the eye of ra” for elias to symbolize their peculiar sun/moon dynamic if you will

smth to ponder over. and perhaps make an art of hmmm

Finally saw the Mummy 25th anniverary release in the cinema yesterday and AAAAAAAAHHHHH IT'S SO GOOD ON THE BIG SCREEN. I know it's not all accurate (either to the various parts of ancient Egypt or 1920s Egypt/North Africa) but it's just gorgeous, from the opening shot of 'Thebes' to the golden desert panoramas to giant 15-foot-tall Ardeth on a huge screen aaaaaaaaaaah I'm dead.

I had cuddly baby Horus and his handmade tagelmust with me the whole time, I wore my Key of Hamunaptra earrings, I wore my Medjai necklace, I wore my Ardeth t-shirt. I've never been to the movies alone but I loved every second.

I can't remember if I've even been to the cinema since Covid and I think I missed it more than I realised. I'm not a huge film buff, and we've got a big tv (my partner is an avid tv viewer). But when it comes to some shots, the panoramas, the detail in the close-ups, the shots that are there for unabashed visual aesthetic - like maybe my favorite shot of all time, Wall-E reaching out to touch the swirl of ice/rocks as he clings to the Axiom - the cinema screen gives an immersiveness the tv can't match.

I'd seen it last week again as well, with a friend who'd never seen it, and between the two I noticed some things I hadn't before, or had forgotten. So this is gonna be long and rambly and full of questions and observations.

The brownface and imperialism is bad. Some of it I guess is period-accurate, and partly to indicate that certain characters aren't great people/are earning their grisly deaths (Chamberlain and the Americans). But a lot of it is inexcusable. Omid Djalili's performance is pretty over-the-top (and he is afaik Iranian and not Arab), a lot of 'Egyptian' characters clearly aren't (even beyond the main cast, all of Imhotep's priests look like White guys in gold paint to me. Some of the Medjai eg the one with the hook are also in brownface.)

A lot of local diggers and Medjai are killed in the Medjai raids and the plagues and it's not really acknowledged much. You'd think Ardeth would still have some hard feelings about Rick/Evy/Jon having killed people he's known all his life but maybe you have to develop a different view of violence and death when your whole life is centred on stopping the end of the world.

When the heroes are fleeing from the museum, they crash the car and run a short distance away. Rick, Ardeth and Jonathan escape via a manhole to get to Winston at the airfield. When they arrive at the airfield, they seem to be in the same car. How?

Why does Evy seem to be waking up on the slab? When we last saw her she was wide awake and chastising Beni. Feels like something was cut here.

The Medjai with the hook also has the following tattoos on his cheek: Gardiner's sign U6 or U7 (mr) and 2x H6 or (I think) M17 (y or j). What is ymr or mry? 'Beloved'? Is Anck's name in there too? What do they all mean? I must know! Would it be weird if I tried to write to the designers and artists from the film about it?

Some of the Medjai (or other workers) performing the Hom Dai have no tattoos on their arms. Most of the Medjai have tattoos which include one of the eye symbols (Eye or Horus or Eye of Ra) on their shoulders. Sidenote, I think Ardeth should have worn the old-timey Medjai outfit just once, for science. (Good thing we have the amazing @minilev to imagine it for us.)

The Hamunaptra cat is really totally out of the bag by the end of it. Not only is there treasure and archaeological finds (sadly not the Book of Amun-Ra, dammit Jonathan 😜) but Cairo had about 5 simultaneous (super)natural disasters. Ain't no covering that up. They're gonna need to recruit a lot more Medjai. (I volunteer! It will not go well for me though. I would be the worst Medjai of all time.)

Did Patricia Velasquez play the mummified version of Anck as well?

Who was Imhotep going to sacrifice the first time? One of his priests?

Was already thinking about this before I rewatched it but...the law is distinctly that no other man may touch Anck-su-namun. Has anyone written an AU where Anck and Nefertiri fall in love and escape Seti together? 👀 (I know he treats Nefertiri ok but Anck is clearly not a happy and willing participant in their relationship.) I would read that. (No, me, you already have half a dozen stories you'll never finish. Don't even think about it.)

Where are the camels at the end from? Didn't they all get ridden back after the first time they left Hamunaptra? And I thought there were more horses than camels, anyway.

Ardeth really was supposed to die, it was so clear. He was fist-fighting mummies and then had dynamite thrown at him. I'm not even slightly sad he survived (it's my favorite plot hole of all time!) but...how. Thank you Stephen Sommers for your vision. 🙌

Jonathan's face-journey for his 'Iiiiimhooooteeeeep' line is even more amazing on the big screen. I remember why my sister and I loved it so much. John Hannah and Jonathan are very underrated IMO.

Kevin J O'Connor also underrated. Beni is a weasel through and through...but Kevin plays him so, so well.

What does Beni say in ?Hungarian when Rick confronts him in the egyptologist's office? And how does he understand Imhotep - magic? I can buy he'd learn protective prayers in 10 different languages, but translating Middle Egyptian is another thing entirely.

Evy and Rick doing the 'I love you' 'I know' thing with just their eyes when Evy goes with Imhotep to try to save them. SO GOOD.

Has Brendan Fraser ever been hotter than when Rick first catches sight of Evy after her Bedouin makeover? (Which, coincidentally, has been living rent-free in my head ever since...it's almost an anti-niqab since the sheerness and beading on the veil arguably draw more attention to her and her eyes but...damn girl. 😍

Evy's delight at getting to Hamunaptra on her camel and finally getting to do field work is delightful, it's infectious, it's a pure joy to watch. As a female lead who could so easily have been an ineffectual trophy, she holds her own and carries the film as an equal protagonist to Rick in her own right. And I love her for it.

Evy and Jon are one of the better portrayals of siblings I can think of offhand. They have just the right mix of ride-or-die familial bond and squabbling.

Ardeth Bay's cheekbones cut more deadly than his sword tbqfh. (oops. but it's true.)

I should stop talking because this is so long. But if anyone wants to talk about anything Mummy-related, my inbox is very open!

Vulkan Lives 1

let's light this review on fire er Salamanders, bring your big green eggs

...you know? the barbecue company?

Flashback to Isstvan V

yeah

you know what, they are pretty alike also WHY did the temperature in my room plunge as soon as i started this novel

rare W for Konrad okay so now we're getting somewhere and now we have 3 times in which a primarch grabbed another primarch's face though at least Konrad didn't make it weird. Yes you heard it here first: Konrad is the most wholesome face-grabber.

also alas i see Kyme is a believer in the sexy evil lamp horus

ah Vulkan is hallucinating

because the next person he sees is Guilliman, who stabs him with his sword

yeah it's curze as we knew because we've read the book summary i dunno if vulkan's hallucinating or something warpy is going on though

another thing that kinda makes it feel warpy is that Vulkan never irl saw Horus in his evil sexy lamp armour but he was like that here okay let's go see someone else

crimson armour blood angels was my first thought but

it's erebus! they're word bearers so like does erebus use healing magic to fix his face every time it gets bashed in? and then does he have to redo the tattoos? it's a serious question I have! Erebus speaks haltingly about "the weapons"

so elias is going to go looking for them okay that was a bit weird

so that was the prologue well i've read worse prologues i guess okay chapter 1 opens on the world of Traoris which is a "blessed" world

but it's not blessed for everyone

also those 40k vibes, man, Kyme why do you keep doing this (it was there in Promethean Sun too)

you know i thought i read the sample for this book but i remember absolutely zero of what's happened

so apparently, the shadows are eating people with guns oh that sounds like night lords or i guess raven guard but it's not raven guard imagine that twist tho so the city is filled with paranoia she manages to run into Cardinal Square while thinking of her dad who is dying of cancer and then she saw him who i am guessing was a statue it's the golden king so her dad told her about the coming of the imperium

blech

this is the excerpt I posted and I got people going "bluejay you NEED to find a new fandom with actually good writers"

yeah it's word bearers getting sacrifices honestly i don't even know the point of this also this entire section could be taking place in 40k and you wouldn't know the difference

they're hard men doing hard things we've switched to these guys who are doing digging…somewhere they're looking for weapons

oh, it's Numeon he's a Salamander so they're observing the city one salamander: maybe it's so quiet because they're going to surrender

it's not as bad as Fulgrim…it's not as bad yet… i keep telling myself this

har har har you know what for all Swallow's faults, he could actually write banter

hey let's see "normal" vulkan

vulkan: only speaking to a remembrancer in environments that are highly dangerous for a regular human im rolling my eyes at "blacksmiter" meanwhile an augmented human is currently branding him

Seriph thinks it's a humble origin for a primarch she's been in here for 21 minutes now which is a record for the remembrancers

…did the Emperor not tell Vulkan that he made the primarchs to be his generals? anyways Vulkan says that he would have been a farmer, otherwise not a blacksmith? weird his voice also gets described as "diabolic"

honestly it just seems to me like Vulkan is enjoying making remembrancers suffer one of the Pyre Guard comes in and is like "another one?" Vulkan: this one did better than the others, she can talk to me again so Vulkan is heavily covered in brands which I guess primarch skin doesn't heal over? Fulgrim must be so jelly because he wanted tattoos but they'd keep healing

Vulkan orders a new plan one that has less cost to civilian life the Pyre Guard talks about how they're going to do things and my goodness you know you never know what you've got til it's gone I miss Rath's dialogue i even miss Swallow (not sharing it this time)

HA WEEB

Vulkan asks how the remembrancer is doing "she lives" "good" Vulkan how many remembrancers have you killed so far??

lol lmao he gets news from the front, they breached the wall with zero resistance weird over to Numetor Nemetor who is a different guy than Numeon

the city stinks of death

also he spies Nostraman graffiti written in blood on a scholam and again, why are we using 40k terms so Vulkan set his soldiers to burning the city to ash

yeah, Curze is here oy

Curze: lmao what are you going to do

pensive emoji

bats are signs of death now also didn't you know erebus is a bat vulkan: are you trying to goad me curze: lol. lmao.

Curze: all the other cities will surrender to us now. that's my present Vulkan: you killed innocent people! Curze: lmao no one's innocent

to be continued!

Berber Tattooing: Exploring Amazigh Tattoo Culture and Moroccan Women’s Face Tattoos (Book)

Berber tattoos, also referred to as Amazigh tattoos, serve as a vibrant reflection of the diverse cultural heritage of North Africa's indigenous Berber population. These meticulously crafted and captivating tattoos transcend mere skin-deep artistry; they function as vessels embodying the rich tapestry of heritage, social standing, and personal narratives seamlessly interwoven into the very fabric of Berber identity.

With a historical lineage stretching back millennia, the Berber people have fostered a profound connection with the natural world. Within the realm of Berber tattoos, this deep affinity manifests through a striking array of symbolic depictions, each laden with profound meanings that resonate with life, belief systems, and pivotal moments.

Nature assumes a central role in the realm of Berber tattoos, where symbols bear the imprint of animals, plants, and celestial bodies. The towering palm tree, symbolizing strength, growth, and resilience, serves as a potent representation of life and prosperity deeply ingrained in Berber culture. Likewise, the snake, embodying a guardian spirit, symbolizes wisdom and healing, acting as a protective force against malevolent influences and ushering in good fortune.

Drawing from ancient Egyptian iconography, the Berber people adopted the Eye of Horus, a potent symbol believed to ward off evil and usher in good luck. Equally significant is the Hand of Fatima, an open palm that serves as a protective talisman against the evil eye and negative energies.

The Amazigh Cross, often referred to as the “Agadez Cross,” serves as a compass of sorts, offering guidance and orientation during travels and life’s journeys. In the vibrant world of Berber tattoos, women play a central role, embodying themes of fertility, femininity, and the enduring legacy of the tribe.

Berber tattoos are not mere embellishments; they are markers of life’s milestones and rites of passage. For young Berber girls, their first tattoos, often received during puberty, symbolize the transition into womanhood and eligibility for marriage. These tattoos bear not only ink but the weight of cultural identity and pride.

The complexity and number of tattoos worn can also signify an individual’s standing within the community. Leaders and elders, with their wealth of wisdom and life experiences, may display more intricate and elaborate tattoos.

From “Berber Tattooing: Exploring Amazigh Tattoo Culture and Moroccan Women’s Face Tattoos”, illustrated by Mohammed Jiari

In recent times, there has been a renaissance of interest in Berber tattoos. Efforts to preserve and reinvigorate this ancient art form have borne fruit. Modern-day artists and tattoo enthusiasts explore the depths of Berber symbolism, infusing tradition with innovation to create contemporary designs that pay homage to the past.

This resurgence is not only about the art itself but also about nurturing cultural pride and identity among the Berber community. These timeless designs remain a vibrant and integral part of Berber heritage, ensuring that the symbolic meanings of Berber tattoos continue to thrive, enchanting and resonating with generations to come.
