jed: (reading a trivia book) "hey, did you know that roman statues used to be colorful and the only reason they look white now is because their paint rubbed off over the years?"
augustus: "you should have seen me at my prime, i looked like some kind of mardi gras decoration"
Unfortunately I don't think there's a trivia book small enough for Jed to navigate through. Thankfully smart phones 📱 exist.
Too bored to write the dialogue myself so I edited it in (it probably is more readable now anyway)

In the bottom of this photo, you can see FDNY Ladder 118 crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge on their way to the World Trade Center. This is their last known photo. Every single firefighter on that truck perished just a few minutes later. We vowed to never forget. Unfortunately, so many have.

Romance you say?
Roman-ce?
Roman?
Octavius is a roman
He is in love with Jedediah
That's romance isn't it?

ngl you'd be related to this guy if you were an owl, with u and your hair and all...
"...Why are you people so intent on comparing me to animals?" (I guess the hair is... sort of the same? Well, feathers, not hair...)

I think I promised I’d get my shit together once I got a job and I guess the time has come 😔 First on the agenda is sorting through my inbox, so I’ll be deleting some old asks and hopefully answering some easier aks in the next few weeks ✨ might be a bit hectic of a period before I move abroad next month, but we’ll see how much I get done
#it’s not an exciting job and not even museums/archaeology related#BUT it is a new fun experience hopefully 🙏🏻#and new culture/language is always fun#only temporary job though - the contract is one year#main goal is to get back to my fanfics during this time 🙏🏻#going through the askbox will hopefully make things a bit more managable for me and easier to respond to new things quicker#thanks for having patience with me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

the problem with working a job where u interact with like 1500 people per day & u are supposed to be charming and informative the whole time is that sometimes you are so weird on accident?? and u say something that is so weird to say to another person out loud ?? and u just have to be like :) lets pretend that was normal. do you have any other questions
#me sitting at my table in silence recounting my day and visibly wincing repeatedly etc etc#to be fair to myself people say really weird things to me and then i have to respond.#i think sometimes disney adults expect childrens museum employees to all be like disneyland character employees.#which we are not i’m not actually doing a bit i’m just some guy who works here and will talk to your kid about dinosaurs ??#if your kid points to a dead bug and asks if its dead (this is in the context of letting children touch preserved specimens)#im literally not gonna play along and lie to your child that is ridiculous#its not sleeping. i am here to talk about science#LOL i will probably delete this later i am so exhausted holiday break sure is… breaking me…#2600 people today…#unrelated sometimes people come up to me later to compliment my stage shows and i think in the new year#im just gonna start being like :) what parts did you enjoy ? elaborate please#i feel like im doing improv all the time.

They’re so dumb 😭💞💞💞
The way Yatora’s just looking at him while Yota is in his own lil world reading a flyer
Yatora’s lil blush as he realizes he can ask Yota to come with him
Only for this insociable baby to look at poor Yatora like he’s going to throw up at the the prospect 🥹
#Low key if I asked someone to a museum and they responded by looking like that I’d walk in front of a train 😀#Yatora bravest man alive Frfr 😔✊🏼#blue period#yaguchi yatora#yotasuke takahashi#yotasuke x yatora#blue period yatora#blue period yotasuke#yatoyota

Besides run into LBs arms and kiss her on the mouth, what are you most excited to do in the UK? Any fun things planned? ❤️
We have some museum tickets, and tickets to see the tower (and apparently a reenactment which you guys know I will be making EVERYONES problem in some terrible spin-off of my Castles Ever After. British Cassian in his little medieval garb harassing American Nesta, perhaps?).
But honestly, we're really just winging it. I've stopped trying to plan everything to the last detail and I'm gonna let her show me what is/isn't cool and PRAY there is at least one plague tour in there somewhere
#JUST ONE PLAGUE MUSEUM LB ARE YOU LISTENING???#also probably some tea- i keep sending her tea houses and she DOESNT RESPOND (she hates me)

hey natm nerds i am finishing up segment 1 of the rewrite! (i've split it up into 4 segments)
i have a question tho. how do you all feel about joan's visions? i'm considering whether or not to use/rely on them throughout the rewrite.
to me, they were a bit out of place and didn't really fit because joan isn't the real joan of arc. same as teddy wasn't actually the president and didn't really do all those things like he said in the first movie.
i just want to know what you all think before i decide how much to use them or to not use them at all
(if i don't use them, i'm just gonna use ahk more so don't be alarmed.)
anyway, thoughts?
(tidbit to get your attention)

@none-ofthisnonsense Tumblr ate your ask just as I was about to post it so I'm going to try to replicate it here:
You said something like "Every time you mention something about Finland it makes me want to go there more"
And I wrote (before the post cruelly disappeared!):
Every time? Even when I'm complaining? :D
I recommend going to Lapland in the winter if you want the auroras-and-reindeer experience that is always shown in tourist marketing (I have seen ads for Jyväskylä and Helsinki with reindeer on them! Lies! They don't live this far south!), or visiting some picturesque city in summertime if you'd like the "happiest country in the world" thing to feel believable. March and april weather is awful — slippery, slippery ice, plus constant yet somehow unexpected comebacks by winter when everyone is already fed up with snow — so maybe avoid that.
I know next to nothing about motorsports, but I think the ralley races happen in the summer too (August?) (I mostly know about them from my parents complaining about the resulting traffic). Everyone I've known to follow them has seemed to have a pretty good time, and you like F1, so maybe you'd enjoy that too?
#i don't know how serious you were about this and i didn't originally intend to respond with actual advice#but then it kind of happened#also i *love* museums so if you do too you may be happy to hear that they often have the plaques in english as well#tampere has lots of cool 1800-1900s working class history on show#and helsinki has a lovely natural history museum i've yearned to return to since my first visit at six years old

My diary when I was a teenager: I am so angry and this is where I put my rage about how the world is ending and how mad I am about it and how much I hate politicians and the school board
My diary now: here is a recounting of what I did today as well as how I feel about some of the news from today, so that in twenty years when everyone is lying about how the 2020s went I have proof that I'm not insane.
#chit chat#it really hasn't changed much except that I am now writing about the context of the wider world#because so much of my teenage diary was 'i am so mad about what's going on in the world!!! how can they do this!!!'#and older me is like 'hm. what WAS? going on in the world?' and then i have to go look up the news for that day#which feels harder to do now than it did back then#so now im adding context so that when im forty i can be like 'yeah! how could they let this happen!' in solidarity with my younger self#also my grandmother worked at a museum for twenty years so now im actively trying to be helpful to whoever ends up with these things#cuz i won't have kids to pass them onto but some random archivist might think they’re interesting#I've been heavily inspired by dykes to watch out for and how like half the strips are just responding to the news#lol#sometimes i wish i could be less fucking weird but unfortunately i have been Like This since at least the seventh grade#i took one elective journalism class and it was all over for me

Back at it again! Your cool bug fact today is that moths of the saturniidae family are some of the largest (and in my opinion some of the most beautiful) in the world! They also lose their digestive tract upon metamorphosis, which means they tend to only survive for a few days to a week off of fat reserves. A few examples of saturniidae family moths include atlas moths, cecropia moths, and luna moths.
(Also it’s actually a bug fact today, but it probably won’t be tomorrow.)

"Oh, I think I've seen some of these before! Not outside, of course, just at a museum or something. It's a shame something so nice-looking only lives for a week... but I guess that's just how nature is, sometimes."
