A Few More Ancient Egyptian Art Vocabulary

for your next poem/story

Natron - a natural salt used in mummification

Necropolis - from the Greek meaning “city of the dead,” especially the large cemetery of an ancient city

Neith - “the terrifying one”; protector of the king and one of four goddesses who guard the coffin and the canopic box

Nemes - a royal headdress, probably of striped linen or perhaps leather, with lappets falling forward over each shoulder and with the fabric gathered and tied in back

Nephthys - sister of Isis, protector of coffins and canopic jars

Nut - the winged sky goddess; as a woman arching over the earth she is the personification of the vault of the heavens

Osiris - according to myth, Egypt’s first king; created by the gods, Osiris suffered a violent death, was made whole again magically by Isis, and became the ruler of the dead

Ostracon - a limestone or pottery flake used to sketch, practice writing, or make notes

Papyrus - the writing surface of Egyptian scribes, made from the pith of papyrus stalks separated into strips that were flattened and placed side by side, slightly overlapping. On top of this layer, another layer of strips was placed at right angles to the first. The surface was then repeatedly pounded to make it smooth. The plant juices released in the pounding caused the strips to adhere to each other permanently without the aid of glue. In art, images of papyrus plants symbolized the world, which arose from the primeval waters at the time of creation. The plant was also the heraldic symbol of Lower Egypt.

Ptah Sokar - creator god and patron of craftsmen; shown as a human without any indication of limbs

Re - meaning simply “sun,” the most important name of the sun god, who was later combined with many other gods; the creator and sustainer of the world, who travels in a bark through the sky by day and through the underworld by night

Re-Harakhty - falcon-headed god, fusion of Re and Harakhty

Red crown - red headdress, cylindrical in shape with a high back extension, symbolizing the sovereignty of the king over Lower Egypt

Sakhmet - ambivalent goddess of war, disease, and chaos, who could also cause such calamities to cease and, in her role as the sun’s destructive eye, could repel hostile powers threatening Egypt; usually shown with a lioness’s head and a lion’s mane

Sarcophagus - a coffin made of stone

Selket - goddess—shown in human form with a scorpion on her head—who, with Isis, protected Horus during his childhood and was one of the four goddesses who guard the coffin and canopic box

Serdab - an Arabic word for the statue chamber of a tomb

Seth - violent deity, murderer of his brother Osiris (who had been divinely installed to maintain order); shown in human form with the head of a strange doglike creature; associated with the desert, where the ordered world ends; nonetheless, Seth uses his powers to help protect the sun god during his nightly journey through the underworld

Sistrum - a sacred rattle consisting either of a metal hoop with crossbars to which metal disks are attached or of a rectangular centerpiece in the shape of a small temple gate with two metal bands at each side

Sledge - a platform on flat runners used to transport loads

Been getting these scorpions in our house lately. How deadly are they? Parker County, North Texas

Scorpion ID - NoTX, USA:

Hello, yes, I grew up with these, and my mom was stung on the foot by one!

This scorpion is extremely common in the South Central U.S.

Striped Bark Scorpion (Centruroides vittatus), family Buthidae.

The sting is very painful and may cause swelling. This species is not medically dangerous to most people, but some people have a strong reaction to the venom. I personally move these for people without worry (using a cup and note card), without worry.

[organicmatter]

Animals I am keeping right now: ball python, Kenyan sand boa, boa imperator, orange baboon tarantula, Asian forest scorpion, desert hairy scorpion, striped bark scorpion, grove snail, European garden snail, A. Phaiodactylus (not sure if they have a common name), blue death feigning beetles, dairy cow isopods, little sea isopods, peach isopods, hissing cockroaches, Texas desert millipede, daisys blue rice fish.... I guess I will count springtails.... I think that is it...

[horriblengrossstories]

What type of scorpio is dereks favorite? Im pretty sure the one on his back is not poisonous because it has big claws/hands so it mean its not poisonous:3

Oh sweet peep 🐣 no scorpions are poisonous...but they are all venomous! 💉✨

(Poison is what you eat, venom is what bites you.)

Derek’s favorites? Definitely the Emperor Scorpion, big, impressive, but chill and the Arabian Fat-tailed Scorpion (Androctonus crassicauda), which is small but deadly, like him in a nutshell.

I used to grow up around these assholes Arizona Bark Scorpions, Striped Bark Scorpions, Giant Desert Hairy ones… god, they all stung!

Fun fact: scorpions glow under a black light. And guess what? So will Derek because he’s a dirty, gross man :3

I decided to be more active on this blog after realizing I fit the term holothere due to the features and my perception of my body.

Keep in mind that I am an adult. I probably won't talk about anything that personal much, if at all, but I would prefer minors either block the tag #not for pups or not interact with the blog. Exact system may change as blog use increases. I may end up not posting anything mature at all, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I'll still be posting alterhuman stuff on my main blog @hexscriptor , but this is exclusively for it and my experiences with it.

Centruroides vittatus communal! You can see the differences between the male (lighter color, longer tail) and the two females. The lightness isn't sexual dimorphism, I got him from a different seller so it's probably a regional differences. Centruroides vittatus in the Big Bend area in Texas are extremely pale colored and show none of the characteristic striping, so they're commonly mistaken for Centruroides sculpturatus.

Striped Bark Scorpion (Centruroides vittatus)

Picture this:

The streets of Townsville. Wonder Woman turns to face her opponent, ready for whatever this black and yellow nightmare might do.

Without warning, she flings the lasso of truth at him, yelling "get over here!"

At the exact same time, Scorpion hurls a lance forward, roaring his distinctive "GET OVER HERE!" The lance and lasso clash in mid-air, and both Amazon and ninja try to capitalise on the confusion by charging at one another. Diana brings her sword down upon Scorpion who blocks it with a gauntlet. He tries a kick to her chest, but meets her shield instead. Behind them, another scrap is in progress.

Stripe is knocked flying, smashing into a wall. He shakes his head, his great ears flapping around, as he looks up at his foe. This...man?...walks towards him slowly, a deep almost electronic chuckle emanating from his throat.

"Looks like I'll feed on YOU after midnight," leers Fred Krueger. He flexes the claws on his single glove grinning, failing to notice the puff of black smoke behind him.

"Ki-ki-ki..."

Too late, Freddy turns around, as Jason's monstrous fist slams into his head. Freddy is sent spiralling away, but is able to land, cat-like, his claws leaving a trail as the dream demon skids to a halt.

"You again?!" Freddy barks. He hauls himself up and starts running at Jason, snarling. Jason, for his part, merely walks forward slowly, as though he's not even interested. Both are stopped by a sudden tremor, more like a thud. An impact that briefly lifts them off their feet. A second thud halts Wonder Woman and Scorpion's brawl. They glance around, and the source is revealed as an ear-splitting roar rends the sky.

We pan up, looking down the boulevard as an enormous reptilian creature lumbers into shot. The deepest green scales, a subdued pink hue on the jagged spikes on his back. He flexes his claws and roars at the sky, a challenge to all who dare oppose the King of the Monsters. As Godzilla's prolonged roar goes on, something's happening. Are the buildings getting taller? No, there's a rippling blue glow around Godzilla. He's shrinking! The effect begins to slow down though, until it eventually dies down.

The view of the shrinking laser's weak trail pans over to Marvin, stood in the street, ray gun in hand. He shakes the gun irritably. Then notices a flashing display on the side of the gun. "Battery dead."

"Oh, poo," declares Marvin.

The shrunken Godzilla bellows in fury in the street, still twice the height of our average multiversal traveller. A metal foot comes into view. The only fighter here who can rival the King of the Monsters for height.

"Hrrrm," rumbles the Iron Giant. "Fix," he decides, before starting to run towards the Titan. Accepting this challenge, Godzilla charges. At the same time, the battles between Diana and Scorpion, and Freddy and Jason, continue.

Cue the season's splash art.

Scott's Diary

————————————————————

Found an old notebook where I was writing a 'book' based on Scott's perspective throughout the events of the movie (more of when onceler is telling the story)

So yeah get what I wrote (it's small and recent but this was before I became more active).

Just to note, this shit is cringe and old writing (some parts i rewritten)

.

.

"You're family sucks." Onceler rolls his eyes. "You say that everytime." "Yeah, cuz I mean it." Scott crosses his arms. "But we'll show'em."

Onceler smiled. "Yeah we will."

"So.. whats our first stop?"

The raven head smirks. "I... got a map, so we just travel around! find the right material." he gives scott the item.

Scott takes a peak into it, reading the contents. "Interesting..."

It was silent for a bit before Onceler spoke up. "You know scott..."

"mm?"

Onceler turns to him with a small smile on his face. "I'm glad you're here with me, I don't know what would have happened if... we never met..."

Hearing those words warmed Scott by his chest. "And I'm glad to be here with you.." Scott smirks. "We promise...?"

Hearing those words, Onceler rolls his eyes but still with that smirk on his face. "We stay together.."

They begin to recite together. "Side by side, no matter what.."

"We won't be one without the other."

"I'll be the egg to your bacon." Onceler nudged him.

"You'll be the sweet as i'll be your salty." Scott spoke.

"I'll reel you like a fish, so you won't flop on a dish."

"I'll hook you like a worm so you won't wriggle like a germ."

"We're 2 peas in a pod, day and night, left and right, salt and pepper.."

"PEANUTBUTTER AND JAM SANDWHICHES FOREVER!!" They both say in a cheer, their laughter echoing through the empty plains.

.

.

-Their journey throughout the month.. was tiring to be an understatement-

Both men, plus Melvin having their own troubles on the journey throughout.

From the scorching hot dessert, where Onceler nearly got killed by a bed of venomous scorpions and a cobra, along with Scott ingesting the water of a cactus.

In the jungle where some things were stolen by monkeys, a near accident with a crocodile and with Melvin nearly eaten alive by a large snake.

In the freezing cold tundra, where all three huddled around a small fire, only to discover a polar bear was living nearby(???)

and scott somehow discovered a snake and was being chased by it.

(WHAT'S UP WITH THE SNAKES??!)

.

Till eventually the fruits of their journey would be born.

Melvin kicks behind the seat where the 2 men lay, Onceler groans.

"I'm telling you melvin, we're gonna be there soon I'm sure-- Woah..!"

Through tired eyes, he was greeted a beautiful sight. a Forest of trees like no other, with striped bark to fluffy cotton-candy like tops, varying in shades of warm colors (and occasional purple).

They way the tufts look, it seemed softer than silk, and its smell! Fresh butterfly milk!

"Scott! Scott! SCOTT!" Onceler hits scott lightly.

Scott rubbed his sleepy eyes before he beholds the sight before him. Complete and utter awe of the colorful scenery.

"What is this place-?"

"It's our jackpot scott!" Onceler exclaims, jumping out of his seat and running ahead down the hill.

Melvin huffs, catching Scott's attention causing him to coo over at the mule. "Aww you poor boy, here have an apple for now, I'll make something good for you later, okay?"

Melvin grunts in approval, biting the apple out of scott's hands.

.

.

Yeah that's the end of the thing lmao, this is mostly a small short thing before i sued the notebook for writing down lore for Trufulla Curse and Truffula Oven Pizzeria.

Go ahead.

Howdy, I'm Orkin, uh, a scorpion animatronic. A, uh... *Orkin checks the script* "Striped black bark scorpion", to be exact. Yeah, don't question it.

Anyways, here are the rules the Moderator, who I will refer to as “Mod”, has set down:

No name-dropping, or sending me a block-list. If you do, the ask will be deleted with no further questions. If you are off anon, I will heed a warning for breaking one of the rules.

Any hate stuff. This includes, but is not limited to: Racism; transphobia, homophobia, aphobia; targeting or accusing people; ships (I, as the Mod, personally don't care who you ship); general hate. Break this and it is an IMMEDIATE block. Don't care if you wish to reason.

Bringing up politics. I don't like politics, and if it is brought up, I will respectively ask you to stop. Politics makes me anxious, and I'm already a mess, so no more mess.

Lore-related and non-lore related asks alike are welcome, just within reason. Example: "What is your favourite food?" Reasonable. "What is your opinion on NSFW?" Not acceptable.

Have fun, even if there are these many rules that may restrict that.

Side note:

Orkin likes mangos :]

TAGS:

#why hello there = ask

#chivalrous huh = conversing

#learning about me = lore asks

#stop that please = affection or appreciation

#woah there buddy = flirting/suggestive
