[scholarlythief-artblog]

Okay, no idea why I started this. Or even finished this. He’s not even my favorite god (i really need to find some more Aeber and Dohter)

Anyways have a CoTC Aelfric

[ehh-is-the-name]

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.

so maybe i need to do some more digging into the lore, but as a newbie who finally caught up on the story and has done some lore reading - was albrecht... more involved in the zariman disaster than just releasing the indifference into reality?

like his logs for the cavia mention that he knew that the indifference was intrigued by uniqueness and, at the very least, albrecht granted the zariman the privilege of being the first to access his archives so they could form the curriculum for the kids, which euleria contributed so much to the point of becoming the voice of it.

the zariman also had a super unique reliquary drive, which incidentally has a massive orb with entrati obols above it. obviously we can't be sure whether euleria, albrecht, or both worked on the drive, given that both clearly contributed to zariman's education system, but it's hard to imagine that happening without some level of involvement from him.

you can also get entrati lanthorns in only two places - albrecht's lab and the zariman. between all of that, how his account of his first meeting with the indifference has him mention "the unholy zariman parade" (implying he was there for the send-off), and his apparent interest in tau as of the end of 1999...

it just seems extremely coincidental if he didn't ever consider that the uniqueness of the zariman would be a beacon for the indifference.

especially since albrecht somehow knew about the operators' existence when he first visited 1999. even og!loid isn't aware that operators = tenno in witw and it's only really the seven and the researchers involved who would've known the true nature of the tenno (probably lotus too) at the point when the entrati all hid themselves upon deimos.

i don't know if he intended to serve the zariman up to the void as he had previously done to the cavia, but given 1999 has demonstrated he's fully accepting of killing "hundreds of thousands" to even gain an inch against the indifference, it wouldn't exactly be out of character, would it?

"'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

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 >:(

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.
