Ishizu Ishtar doodle cuz she is gorgeous and deserves much love

[pettytiredandjewish]

Y’all I just noticed something- ever since I turned off anonymous asks, due to me getting harassed constantly by antisemitic asshats and pro-Palestine people/anti-zionists (because I’m a cold hearted bitch/moron/monster for caring for Israeli citizens who are also victims of the war/ caring for the return of the hostages/ calling out antisemitism/etc…) I haven’t gotten any more hateful or harassing asks… I wonder why??? Could it be that some of them are….cowards and likes to hide? I guess we’ll never know….(jk I already know the answer-i just wanted to add a dramatic flair to it lol)

Also do y’all (I’m talking to the pro Palestine and anti Zionist crowd) even care that Hamas is still holding over a hundred hostages??? And that Hamas are treating the hostages like they’re in some sick torture game??? It seems like whenever someone talks about the hostages/any news about them/testimonies from those who were returned/etc… y’all go bat shit crazy. Hell there’s this video going around where this group of people (pro Palestine/anti Zionist) were defacing a mural that says ‘free the hostages’ and ‘fuck Hamas’ (or something similar to it) because it somehow insulted them???

And stop denying that 10/7 happened. It’s not a fucking conspiracy theory! It was a messed up/horrible terrorist attack and a pogrom- a pogrom that Hamas has promised will happen again! To those who are still denying it/claiming that IDF did it/ or thinks that this attack was necessary- y’all are just fucking unbelievable and messed up…

At this point I’m convinced that y’all hate jews in general and that you are using the i/p war as an excuse to be hateful antisemitic little fuckers. I said what I said.

Am yisrael chai! ✡️

Hey, Egyptian Mythology Tumblr. If you're at all familiar with the story of Horus decapitating Isis after she intervened in a fight between him and Set, then

Of course there are multiple recorded versions of this myth with differences between them that might change how you look at it. And sometimes the difference is that they directly state different reasons for why he did it. So maybe explain your reasoning and which version(s) of the story you know in the tags?

I've noticed that when asked, people will give extremely different answers for what they think his motive was, so I'm very curious to see how many different answers I'll get.

Oh also, for bonus points, why do you think Isis intervened and why do you think she struck Horus (and are those different reasons or are they the same reason)?

Everyone thinks they can write a romance novel. Scratch that. They think they can write a romance novel better than all the other romance novels. Because of course they can. Romance is trite. It’s trashy. It’s simple.

Everyone thinks they can write a romance novel until they actually sit down to write one.

Because the people who disparage the genre are too embarrassed to engage deeply with the ideas that build the work, to make any meaningful commentary on anything, to add to any on-going conversations. They’re hovering above it all, too precious to land. Instead of writing a romance novel, they’re writing a novel that insists they’re beyond all of this, that says romance is beneath them, it’s not worthy of them.

So they end up with a parody of what they think romance is. I.e. they have written a bad romance novel.

I think it’s true that anyone can write romance. Anyone can do any of the cringey, heart-on-your-sleeve art. In fact, the hardest part is beginning.

Step one: You have to love the thing you’re making.

Ok, but listen (and welcome back to another crazy analysis that I came up with out of nowhere because I had a lot of free time)

The Ishtar as representations of the Egyptian gods.

Bastet's mission was to protect the home and symbolizes the joy of living, as she is considered the deity of harmony and happiness. She is the personification of the warm rays of the Sun, she is the representation of femininity and elegance.

Marik was supposed to be the leader of the clan and protect it, but he wanted to be happy and be out of the tombs, he wanted to live, he wanted to be under the sun's rays, plus his hair is blonde, a color associated with the sun, He is handsome, he is masculine and elegant.

Plus his eyes look like cats' eyes if you ask me, with his outlined like the stripes of tabby cats.

But he was traumatized and filled with anger and wanted revenge, so he created Yami Marik.

She was a symbol of strength and power. She was considered the goddess of war and revenge, but also the goddess of healing, she was the protector of the pharaohs and guided them in war.

In some cases she was considered an ally and protector of Ra, since she killed those who dared to confront or attack the divine or earthly monarchy.

She had an insatiable bloodlust, to such a degree that she did not distinguish between allies or enemies.

Like YamiMa, he is powerful, the representation of Marik's fight and revenge, he protected Marik from everything that could harm him to keep him safe, he caused death/coma to those who stood in the way of Marik's wishes (Jounouichi , Mai, Rishid, his father).

Plus we've all seen the thousands of references to YamiMa's hair to a lion's mane and both YamiMa and Sekhmet have many names.

And YamiMa only calmed down when he saw Rishid.

She represented music, dance, joy, love, sexuality and maternal care, and acted as consort to various male deities and mother to their children. These two aspects of the goddess exemplified the Egyptian conception of femininity. She served as a wet nurse for the king and his court, and in this way she fed all the people of Egypt since the prosperity of the country was closely linked to the health, well-being and stability of the king.

She was part of the divine entourage that accompanied Ra as he sailed through the sky in his boat.

Rishid was a fundamental part of Marik's upbringing, he was like a father to him, replacing the biological father as a wet nurse, he wanted Marik's happiness, he loved him like a brother and took care of him like a father, he took the punishment when Marik and Ishizu came out of the tombs, and he wanted to take Marik's place in the ritual to avoid the pain and trauma it would cause him.

He was also part of the Ghouls to continue with Marik, after leaving the tombs, we can assume that he was the one who was in charge of maintaining his mental and physical health.

But his role as a father was also slightly overshadowed by Ishizu.

She is typically depicted as the generous and selfless mother, wife, and protector who puts the interests and well-being of others before her own. She was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, who was identified with the god Horus. She as well as the most powerful sorceress Egypt ever saw. With this power she managed to save her son Horus, but she also became the patron goddess of people who practiced magic.

Ishizu is the selfless mother who fulfills the role assigned to her, fulfilling her duty to the pharaoh was important and almost a priority, however when it came to her brothers, mainly Marik, she did not mind leaving her duty relegated in favor of hera brother's well-being.

Just like Isis, she sought help from humanity (Yugi and company) to unite the pieces of her brother and return him to normal.

She is feminine, selfless, protective, maternal, she took care of Marik when they were children, stopping living her own childhood so that Marik could be happy, she helped him see what it was like outside the tombs because that is what he wanted to do.

Furthermore it is quite clear that she is Isis when we remember that her past life in ancient Egypt was called that.

for real though i don't know how i'm going to survive iski. like you don't understand i've been a starkid fan since their most recent show was a very potter sequel. when i was 14 i walked to and from school with the avpm & avps soundtracks on loop and dreamed what felt like a hopeless little dream, that someday i would be able to see them live. starkid gave me so much hope and joy and inspiration and windows into friendships in a time when my mental health was by far the lowest it's ever been. i am 28 now and it's happening in 15 days. holy shit holy shit holy fucking shit fucking holy fucking shit. literally what am i supposed to do with myself

A friend asked me to show him the last art I did of thief Lilli, and we started to look at my old drawings of her and well

There is definitely some improvement in my art 😅

[dead-generations]

people really underestimate how much 'ptsd' is probably actually neurological damage

pro tip: exposing your head to repeated pressure waves, loud noises and rapid/powerful shaking will damage your brain! Artillery actually gives everyone involved brain damage, on both ends of the equation!

notes: i've been trying to flesh out Isi and Sierra's parents a tiny bit, and now i'm having feelings about Isi's father. so you can have some snippets about him.

snippet 1: (tw controlling partner, alluded-to)

On the other hand, with the exception of Sierra, she had not spoken to her family in four years. Perhaps she could write to them… but what could she say? In all that time, she had had nothing to write to them. Why now? She remembered her father as a quiet man, ruled by his wife for the most part, but he had smiled when Isi had first said she wanted to be a knight. Her mother had tried to guilt her into staying home; at the time, she had not realised, but with the benefit of hindsight she could see it. Her father had been silent for a few minutes, while her mother had talked about leaving the Coast Folk with one fewer hand during fishing seasons, and about how it would crush her to have her daughter leave. And then he had said, I think you can do good there, too. Even now, remembering it fifteen years later, it made Isi’s chest swell with hope. Her mother had totally ignored his words, but Isi had never forgotten them. If she and her friends failed to defend Winter’s Hold, this might be her last chance to write home. She had nothing to say to her mother… but she hoped her father would be proud of her now. She pulled the sheet towards her and began to write.

snippet 2, featuring magical bird delivery:

Isi extracted the letter for her father from the bottom of the stack and passed it to Robin. He rolled it up and attached it to the bird’s leg, then held out his hand to her. Isi took it and closed her eyes, picturing her father: his skin tanned from long years of working on the cliffside, spattered with pale patches the way her own was; keen dark eyes, crinkling at the edges when he smiled at her; the gravity in his face when he had encouraged her to leave home. She had not ended her letter with goodbye, but signing her name had felt like one nonetheless. With a sudden pang like something had grabbed her heart and squeezed, she imagined him waiting for another letter that would never come. It was too late. The bird’s wings swished through the air beside her head, and the pressure in her head eased once more.
