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.

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.

"'Course I got my end!" There's a slight strain in Caspar's voice as he adjusts to match Edward's hold, but he stays true to his word. Heck, they've only got a short distance to cross. This candle could be twice as heavy, and this task would still be easy as—— "Hey! The hell are those little rats knocking around now?!" Wuh-oh. That voice sounds a whole lot like the one that had shouted about the racket that got Caspar and Edward tossed in their lantern prison to begin with. Time to get a move on! He lifts up his end of the candle as they approach the ledge, doing his part to ready the position. It's not quite enough to get it vertical on his own, but it's the closest he can get to a sliding pole rather than a battering ram sort of situation. "Alright, you first! Go go go go go…!"

lanthorn-y situation

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.
