This 19th-century sculpture, displayed at the Salar Jung Museum in India, is carved from a single log of sycamore wood. Created by an anonymous French sculptor, it features Mephistopheles and Margaretta, the iconic characters from Goethe's "Faust," on opposite faces.

Tigran: launching into a story about a time when he was 7 and watched a guy get eaten alive by dogs, completely unprompted and unnervingly blasé about the whole thing.
Etsushir: not listening, warming his hands over the nightly allotment of yams, smoking.
Palo: this is the tenth time he's heard this story, not listening, wondering whether Etsushir is smoking tobacco and where the hell he got it and can he have some?
#Lore:#Tigran has kind of a psychological fixation on people being eaten by dogs. Which is rooted in childhood trauma but it's hard#to tell because he loves dogs and always seems weirdly enthused by the whole concept.#More lore:#They're cooking on a dry dung fire which is very common in the region in general- largely grassland and savannah. Most of the#formerly wooded areas are deforested both on a long scale due to the drying climate and on a short scale of human use.#Wood is a valuable commodity and grown in agricultural regions and harvested with coppicing or otherwise imported by sea.#The northeast has an intact forest that hasn't been widely exploited due to distance from urban centers and impracticality of#transport over land and that's pretty much it.#The Highlands also retain woodlands within the interior but the formerly surrounding forests have been heavily exploited#(due to proximity to major rivers) and were fully wiped out within the past century.#The fact that cremation is the default and expected funerary practice and also used in most sacrificial offerings heavily#contributes (cattle and khait dung is allowable for these purposes due to the animals' sacred status but not considered preferable).#(associated with lower class funerals)#Anyway bottom line dry dung is going to be what the majority of people use for everyday fuel needs and also what pretty#much everyone on the pilgrimage is using (which the wealthier members are unaccommodated to but these guys are)#etsushir#tigran otto#palo apolynnon#the white calf

Legend has it...
Tumblr media
the moss was the reason why i gave cj a chance x] (i didnt really know who tally hall was very well,,,sorry th fans)
anyways! ramble time (we love those don't we)
he is a spirit, has never been a human
his statue is a sort of...vessel? idk the word, but he can't go far from it. if he tries to leave the statue he just teleports back to it
he is the oldest of the jashlings, and the second hardest to find (first is space jash because well...he's in space)
was a storyteller/writer/singer, would probably get along with the gw announcer)
the spirit form is always around, but physically appears when the statue is interacted with (see example below)
form is yellowish and glows, like a lightning bug!
he doesn't directly talk to you, would just start singing stories and warnings before disappearing again
he's a little sad that his statue is getting dirty and would appreciate a clean up
however, the tear stains never disappear no matter how hard you scrub
who knows how long he's been there
or what his name is
but we know the name of his creator!...only because its engraved in his stone
who the fuck is named "chonny jash" anyways? must have been an interesting guy...or a total weirdo
