#same for Italy

[lanotteviene]

the article specifically mentions that these artifacts WERE stolen. Italy, Greece and Egypt all had poor and ethnic populations that were decidedly not seen as white at the time, and in Egypt’s case I presume still are not. USAmericans predated on our poverty and stole pieces of our heritages because of that ancient “glamour” AND our perceived cultural and ethnically differences, to then claim our heritages for itself (the widespread use of “classical” inspired architecture in government buildings, to say one thing). why it hasn’t happened to Egypt as much, if at all, is probably linked to racism and Islamophobia.

These artifacts were stolen. Period. To dismiss the fight of objectively poorer countries trying, and very VERY rarely succeeding, in taking back their cultural heritages is so fucking callous. we must set precedents otherwise how do you think usAmericans would even begin to consider giving stuff back to their own suppressed indigenous populations? come on.

this is highly arousing. TO ME

Obsessed with what America and England have going on in HetaOni. America's like "I keep having to watch my dad die from overusing his magic in past timelines and not knowing how to stop it is killing me inside but I'm not going to talk to him about it" and England's like "I can't seem to hold a conversation with my son without insulting him but I won't hesitate to use my dying breath to ensure I can protect him from beyond the grave"

Just the thought of a wedding between Vasco and Machete is mind-numbingly sweet. They deserve the best one possible.

Guys

I love all yours contents "Odysseus is the best lip reader ever"

But please, let's take a moment to consider one fact

The Sirens of the Odyssey are mythologically resident in southern Italy

You're definitely getting where I'm going with this

THE SIRENS MOST PROBABLY GESTICULATED THROUGHOUT THE DIALOGUE IN SUCH A DESCRIPTIVE MANNER THAT ODYSSEUS DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE PROBLEM OF HAVING TO READ THEIR LIPS

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

Would you guys tell me what drinks and snacks you offer?

Ludwig: We have our own drink bar, it's nothing special but, we can make practically anything, just as long as it's alcohol-free. The legal drinking age is very different here than back home, it's rather a shock to a lot of us

There will be art soon I swear, I'm working on a really complicated background and also being worked like a slave at uni during the week. Anyway here is an outrageous, deranged post mourning what we lost (hopefully in a funny way). You see Hima made a batshit insane, last minute decision to make Roderich and Gilbert cousins in some random character sheet a few years ago, despite probably knowing PruAus was the most popular pairing for both characters involved...We miss you PruAus never forget PruAus 9/11 💔

(Though PruMano is arguably funnier imo)

"Nico yapping about Lewis, likely place for him to be" yeah okay but. He was clearly at a work event and they put up a slideshow and pictures and then Stopped on the 2016 Spain crash.

And the slideshow didn't move on to the next picture. What was he supposed to do lol just pretend he does not see? I mean I'm glad Nico is good-natured about it all.

piastri 3 place grid penalty

[p1-norris]

i’m so fascinated by the ‘piastri doesn’t have to publicly thank norris/he might have just done it privately’ thing bc like… no he doesn’t have to but you have to acknowledge that it’s not a good look to, on more than one occasion now, completely fail to acknowledge your teammate’s role in your win? piastri did fuck all in norris’ win at miami and lando still talked about how well piastri did and how unlucky he was afterwards - lando handed piastri his first win from six seconds up the road and saved his second when mclaren screwed up their strategy yesterday and he just… didn’t recognise either of those things afterwards?

like, maybe he did thank him privately. maybe he didn’t. we will never know. but as like a public perception thing, he doesn’t help himself come across as a good teammate or as a team player at any point
