After about an hour of scrolling through the hfjone tag on twitter bc my dash is very lacking of ONE content, I’ve gotta say my only question is where did the Airy being australian hc come from? I know that it’s in the EON fic and a whole bunch of people soaked it up but I know there were more people who thought that too! I just wanna know where!!

Was it his accent? Does Airy even have an accent?? Idek what an australian accent is- I genuinely can’t tell if Airy’s had an australian accent this whole time.

Twice this week ive gotten. 4 lanthorns from the extractors.

[necromancy-savant]

Lanthorn/lant-horn is seen in older texts, but it's based on a folk etymology due to common use of horn as a cover for lamps

I also think a lot of these sound like Popeye, and I've heard worter and exhorsted in New England accents

I do love when I get a whaler’s journal that has a lot of misspellings. It makes it slower to get through, but in my forever-fascination with New England accents prior to the latter half of the 19th century…when he spells things phonetically you get a better sense of his voice. I always try to preserve them.

Aelfric and the Lanthorn

“1600 years ago… Aelfric descends to Orsterra. He lights the Sacred Flame on the continent, sealing Galdera the Fallen. Galdera’s name is hidden away”

Im thinking on maybe doing a fan comic, honestly being the telling of Orsterra’s history through a comic; purely for fun honestly.

Either way, I hope you all have a splendid day/night/whatever the hecking time it is over there. Stay strong there Traveler, for who knows what foes may lie in your path.

Zariman extra haunted lately

Between whatever this was and the game completely crashing on me 2/3 times while fighting a Void Angel, I don't much feel like going there anymore, which is a shame bc it's one of my favourite mission locations and one of my favourite tilesets and also I still don't have gyre >:(

Oop, did they rattle around more than he thought? Well, either way, that's their cue!

After Caspar's adjustment, Edward helps heave it the rest of the way upright, then lets the candle drop to the floor— Blessedly, it stays leaned against the crate instead of falling sideways and truly forcing them into considering the long way down.

"Going, going!" Edward quickly tests the stability, kicking it further into the crate with his heel to make the wax stick to the crate better, then slips down, gets a good grip, and there he goes—

It's very, very hard not to go wheeee. In a stunning show of restraint and discipline, he doesn't. The impact with the floor is a little bit jarring, but the candle stays firm and he's not Nolan with his poor old man knees, so he hops away from it sprightily— Then casts a glance back to make sure Caspar's hot on his heels, and the guy that tossed them into the lantern is not. Things look a lot worse down here, all the better for them; Trinkets and boxes and bits of parchment all over the place.

"Place's a wreck, so cover should be easy, go go go—!"

Athenian Architecture

The Antiquities of Athens by Scottish archaeologist James "Athenian" Stuart (1713-1788) and British architect Nicholas Revett (1720-1804), originally published 1762-1830, contains five volumes. Printed in London by German-born John Haberkorn, this was to be his best-known work.

James Stuart and his friend Nicholas Revett embarked on a journey to Greece in 1751. Their mission was to record and measure antiquities, a task no one had accurately accomplished before. Despite facing numerous challenges, including threats from Turkish gangs, their unwavering dedication led to the first accurate survey of ancient Greek architecture completed between 1751 and 1754. 

The illustrations in the volumes are not merely decorative; they consist of meticulously etched and engraved plates featuring buildings, maps, plans, and friezes. These illustrations are instrumental in providing a comprehensive visual survey of ancient Greek architecture, allowing readers to appreciate the precision and scale of the antiquities documented.

The particular building featured here is the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, commonly called the Lanthorn of Demosthenes. It was built around 334 BCE and is the only surviving example of a choragic monument. This monument is situated near the eastern end of the Acropolis, one of Athens's most significant archaeological sites. In ancient Greece, a choragus was a wealthy citizen who financed a production at one of the city's festivals. The monument was originally surmounted by a bronze tripod commemorating Lysicrates’ sponsorship of the chorus that had won first prize at the City Dionysia festival.

Stuart and Revett were the first to recognize the story depicted on the frieze. It is the story of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, and the Tyrrhenian pirates. In the Hymn to Dionysus in the Homeric Hymns, the god is kidnapped by pirates who fail to recognize him as a god. The pirates attempt to bind him but are unsuccessful. Instead, Dionysus drives them to jump overboard. Once they’re in the water, he uses his divine gifts to turn them into dolphins, as illustrated here in the depictions of the monument's friezes.
