The geese flying south
In a row long and V-shaped

500-year-old Snake Figure from Peru (Incan Empire), c. 1450-1532 CE: this fiber craft snake was made from cotton and camelid hair, and it has a total length of 86.4cm (about 34in)
This piece was crafted by shaping a cotton core into the basic form of a snake and then wrapping it in structural cords. Colorful threads were then used to create the surface pattern, producing a zig-zag design that covers most of the snake's body. Some of its facial features were also decorated with embroidery.
A double-braided rope is attached to the distal end of the snake's body, near the tip of its tail, and another rope is attached along the ventral side, where it forms a small loop just behind the snake's lower jaw. Similar features have been found in other serpentine figures from the same region/time period, suggesting that these objects may have been designed for a common purpose.
Very little is known about the original function and significance of these artifacts; they may have been created as decorative elements, costume elements, ceremonial props, toys, gifts, grave goods, or simply as pieces of artwork.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art argues that this figure might have been used as a prop during a particular Andean tradition:
In a ritual combat known as ayllar, snakes made of wool were used as projectiles. This effigy snake may have been worn around the neck—a powerful personal adornment of the paramount Inca and his allies—until it was needed as a weapon. The wearer would then grab the cord, swing the snake, and hurl it in the direction of the opponent. The heavy head would propel the figure forward. The simultaneous release of many would produce a scenario of “flying snakes” thrown at enemies.
The same custom is described in an account from a Spanish chronicler named Cristóbal de Albornoz, who referred to the tradition as "the game of the ayllus and the Amaru" ("El juego de los ayllus y el Amaru").
The image below depicts a very similar artifact from the same region/time period.

Portland Breakwater "Bug" Light, Casco Bay, South Portland, Maine. Though Bug Light may be the shortest lighthouse in Maine (26 ft tower, 39 ft above sea level), it may too be the most visible. Greeting nearly every vessel moving in and out of Portland Harbor. Also loved by locals, it watches over the regular picnickers and kite-fliers in adjacent Bug Light Park.

one of my favorite silly hc's is that all the characters I hc as being former odst's (wash, south, north) develop a dislike of heights and flying via that line sarge has in I think s7 where's he's like "where do you think I got the fear of heights from? that shit was crazy!" in regards to it being revealed that he used to be an odst
#wash and south also both canonically hate 479ers flying stunts which makes this hc even funnier imo#like wash and south are both 100% still capable of dealing with those types of drops but they're both gonna bitch and whine about it jdgdhj#rvb#red vs blue#mine#ms 'knocks herself out while talking about how much she hates flying'#and mr 'i think I'm gonna throw up' lmao

i think one of my least favorite troupes in tf2 fanfics has to be scout finds x and y are dating and freaks out/starts being openly homophobic towards them because "canon typical homophobia"
they are mercenaries. fucking contract killers. do you think anyone gives a flying fuck about homosexuality being illegal? you see, they are ok with murder and gruesome violence, HOWEVER they draw the line at two men holding hands because the words on the paper say it's a no no
he would probably tease them because, that's normal that's what friends and annoying coworkers do. and sometimes he might step on a line. but my dear friends. if scout was genuinely homophobic to any of the other mercs, im afraid he wouldn't survive the winter (irse a mimir). he would get snapped by a twig and it doesn't even have to be by the merc he was insulting. anyone in the vicinity would suplex his ass. son, we all suck dick here. get used to it
#also the administrator wouldn't give a flying fuck#she would file it under “potential blackmail if things go south” and leave it as that#because her only investment on the war is draining the Mann brothers of their money and getting to their australium#also this is assuming that homosexuality was illegal in the tf2 universe#which first of all what purpose does it serve to the narrative? that scout says the word faggot?#and secondly do you think that shakesperacles universe needs to 100% accurate to our own?#im not saying you cant do period typical homophobia but it needs to make sense#would a private in the army make remarks towards his veterans in this situation? it's not exactly the same but you get me#this is even without entering into the entire “army gay” debacle#tf2#i was a little bit mad could you tell

Seeing characters in romance stories just jetting between countries at a moment's notice with no thought for visa; seeing airports as sites of triumphant climaxes and romantic denouements instead of places of fear and danger where a sword hangs above your head— it all breaks off little pieces of my heart. They're constant reminders that my people will never be human enough in the colonial world order to be allowed to move freely around it. No matter what your race, those non-refugees living in the Global North will never understand what it's like to be part of a global ghetto where your passport is nothing but a trembling supplication and humiliation.
#race#racism#westerners will never know the dehumanization of the visa office#the ability to afford a plane ticket and the ability to get your visa stamped goes hand in hand#bc you're not allowed to leave the country unless you can show that you can afford to stay there and come back#you have to swear in blood that you won't overstay a minute longer than you're permitted to and sign your firstborn as collateral#a western airport is the closest i can come to the muslim experience bc the authorities will only care about my skin tone#that season 2 finale of Sense8 where the Mexican‚ and Kenyan and Indian characters of the cluster were able to flee to the US within hours#at the same time as the south korean and westerners#had Lankan fans falling down laughing#we're willing to suspend our disbelief of the science fiction telepathy shenanigans but THAT is a bridge too far#sadly not even the worst of the Wakowskis racefails#I love that show but its Caucasity was aggressive#global south#global north#immigration#refugees#islamophobia#no fly list#white supremacy#coloniality#western imperialism#colonial capitalism#knee of huss
