Transcription: (in case you can’t read)

This Shattered World We Knew,

Our home was a cottage on a hill,

The neighbors said when we bought the shack,

It has known a great deal many–

A farmer and his homestead,

A hero with no further purpose,

A banker’s son and his lover–

And now it knows a family,

A family with no anguish

With only a desire for a home,

We lived in that home

For fifteen winters

We had a child, two dogs, and cat,

All ‘us called it home.

It burns now,

Our home, Our cottage,

Like the screaming sun,

Fueled only by hunger,

To grow it’s magnificently

Attuned flames,

Our home,

Our cottage.

Where our son was bore,

Lived a life,

And untimely met his end.

Now I stare into your eyes,

Your picture clutches to a loose frame in my hands,

I’ve failed you as a husband,

I’ve failed our child as a father,

I have failed as a protector,

And now I must live amongst the broken glass,

Amongst this shattered disk we knew.

This poem is related to a current project of mine, which is funny because this thing predates my web-series by like… 4 years?? It’s crazy how far I’ve made it. I hope you enjoy!

Still thinking about none houses left grief, and while I understand where people are coming from, "it took me out of the world" is just... Really not a relevant criticism here. Like, that line is SUPPOSED to be jarring. It is supposed to be kind of darkly funny, but the point isnt for you to laugh. Its not trying to be a punchline. The point of that line IS to "take you out of the world" because the point is that *this world isn't what you thought it was.*

#if it startled you that something so irreverant and lowbrow would come up in a high fantasy serious world #...then maybe ask yourself if this is really a serious high fantasy world #also i do think its just elitist that everyone complains about the tumblr references and not the word for word bible quotes #like maybe the author was trying to make a point about why you accept that catholicism is a cultural constant but not memes?#maybe take a step back and ask yourself what kind of cultural artifacts you think are important enough to be worth mentioning #tlt #htn #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #tlt spoilers

considering nate & maggie are said to have worked together sometimes, collaborating to discover art fraud pre-leverage… i’d like to imagine that maggie has at least heard of the leverage team members in passing. she wouldn’t recognise them in a crowd, but she’s familiar with big names in the art theft & forgery world. she’d have SOME expectations of what they were like. and then in the second david job, she’s meeting them and they’re. them. like-

what she knows about parker: worlds greatest thief, seems more interested in banks but certainly an art thief, too. nate says she has a reputation for being "insane".

what she assumes about parker: probably does some great grifting to get into those museums and vaults, been a world class thief for ages so she’d be in her late 30s at least by season 1. dangerous, formidable, scary, do not approach.

what she very quickly learns about parker: is a duckling who has imprinted on her

#leverageposting #leverage #parker leverage #maggie leverage #maggie collins #you know?#idk what she’d know/think about sophie. i’d like to hear that. what nate has & hasn’t mentioned abt soph.#word of god is that nate & eliot lowkey teamed up sometimes pre-leverage. idk if he’d say that to maggie but she might know that #eliot spencer is a rather infamous hitter & maybe that nate suspiciously doesn’t think he’s as evil as everyone says #alec hardison is a fairly new player in the art theft scene. previously was more just stealing money online or using peoples credit cards.#but more recently he’s apparently stolen the occasional art piece or artifact (jobs like the one he was trying to do in rashomon)#his jobs seem… kinda funny? not a danger like parker & eliot. she doesn’t get the computer stuff but it makes her a little paranoid to hear #what people can do online these days. it’s a weird world… wide web.

fake ep idea + doodles

#i was thinking abt how funny it would be if there was a shiftythrifting blog equivalent in lmk. and half the stuff on there is #submitted by wukong. so i thought a yard sale ep would be funny lol #basically the hoard becomes problem one way or another and wukong figures the best way to get rid of his junk is thru ebay #somehow ends up selling world ending artifacts to random megapolis citizens so mk mei and redson have to scramble to find em #purposely meant to mirror the weekly shenanigans s1-2 style eps that are really goofy (dumpling ep noodles ep etc)#but it gets darker and darker because MK is not fucking ok after that whole thing with the scroll and some unchecked identity crisis #for me id want him to kind of. freak tf out because they have to find MULTIPLE chaos inducing items that could end the world while trying t #be sillygoofy and funny about it. so hes trying to mask his panic with “ohhh guys its just like the good ol days ^_^ remember that ^_^”#ESPECIALLY after that whole thing with the ink scroll. also mei doesnt buy any of it and is worried for him the whole time #as for the B plot it could be monkey king also trying to be very relaxed abt selling 4000 years worth of stuff and tang getting all huffy #like “these are priceless artifacts that could help us learn so much about the past!! wtf man!!!”#and maybe it reveals smth like wukong not wanting to hold on anymore bc his past weighs him down. and theyre all reminders #i think azure mentioned that wukong is sentimental (idk if that was genuine or lying to mk) so that could be touched on to #so basically. the theme would be some sort of conversation abt nostalgia. i think. im not a writer so its very fuzzy in my head #if anyone wants to add on or include their own spin on it feel free. also included undercut redson as a treat somewhere in there #myart #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk red son #lmk mei #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lmk xiaojiao #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #doodles #lmk tang #lmk pigsy #lmk traffic light trio #yard sale ep

Babylonian Map of the World (6th century BC), also known as Imago Mundi, is oldest clay tablet map written in Akkadian.

The tablet describes the oldest known depiction of the known world.

It was discovered at Sippar, southern Iraq, 60 miles north of Babylon on east bank of Euphrates River.

This map not only serves as a historical record of the region's geography but also includes mythological elements, providing a comprehensive view of the ancient Babylonian worldview.

Today, the Babylonian Map of the World is housed in the British Museum, where it continues to be a valuable artifact for understanding the ancient past.

Details of the map:

1. “Mountain” (Akkadian:šá-du-ú)

2. “City” (Akkadian: uru)

3. Urartu (Armenia) (Akkadian: ú-ra-áš-tu)

4. Assyria (Akkadian: kuraš+šurki)

5. Der (Akkadian: dēr)

6. Swamp (Akkadian: ap–pa–ru)

7. Elam (Akkadian: šuša)

8. Canal (Akkadian: bit-qu)

9. Bit Yakin (Akkadian:bῑt-ia-᾿-ki-nu)

10. “City” (Akkadian: uru)

11. Habban (Akkadian: ha-ab-ban)
