Man, this makes Yuya’s turn-around victory against Strong Ishijima into a new light. It less of a ‘hero arises’ moment and more like a ‘villain revived’ type of thing. Though that does make his switch from saying ‘boku’ to ‘ore’ in that summoning sequence make sense. And his calling his monsters ‘servants’. More aggressive attitude from a much more aggressive personality.
bruh what
If you ever get confused by an ancient object, show it to as many traditional handcrafters as you can. Odds are one of them will see it and go Huh.
Cross Discipline Input is vital to us all
This was mind-blowing and i would LOVE to see more examples
Cool, cool, this is an entirely false meme that has caused me and many archaeologists countless headaches because it misses a fundamental aspect of why we didn’t go to these as knitting tools: their forging timeline doesn’t match up with the basic timeline of wool garment making.
The oldest knitted artifacts are from Egypt in the 11th century AD, the bulk of Roman dodecahedron production has been carbon dated to the 2nd to 4th century AD. The earlier equivalent of knitting, nålebinding, was done with four sticks and it would have been more difficult and less convenient to attempt it with a dodecahedron. Further, the stitch on early knitted artifacts was extremely fine, which similarly would’ve made making gloves via this dodecahedron method more difficult and time-consuming,
We have a lot of Roman textiles too. The Mediterranean has amazing retention of fiber artifacts because the climate is very dry without a lot of drastic changes in temperature that would speed up decomposition.
Also, experts haven’t made any definitive conclusion on what the dodecahedra are for, because in archaeology, it’s considered extremely irresponsible to make definitive, certain statements specifically for this reason. The wikipedia article on the dodecahedra even states this by outright saying that a lot of the uses are speculative.
@rosslynpaladin is right, cross discipline input is literally why archaeologists use techniques like ethnoarchaeology and why many archaeologists who specialize in a certain subject of object crafting are practitioners of the craft themselves. The fact that so many people on tumblr don’t understand that we already do this in the science and it’s a core part of our theoretical framework is immensely frustrating. All that being said, this is a bad example of cross-discipline input, because it misses out on the context of how wool garments were crafted during the period that the artifacts were being produced and used.
This site is so anti-intellectual it’s ridiculous. Tumblr loves to spread the idea that professionals, especially professionals in history-related fields, are a bunch of idiot bigots in ivory towers who don’t know how to do basic research. I’m not sure why Tumblr is so committed to this image but it’s very grating.
Mad scientists will be like "I know a place" and then strap you onto the autopsy table
only an autopsy if you're dead... please use the proper name for my vivisection table

what magical land do u live where there’s something other than a robot in charge of the train announcing
Natasha and Clint going to Vormir to get the Soul Stone is just a terrible writing choice, because Marvel spent basically no time at all developing their relationship other than in the first Avengers movie and small moments in Age of Ultron and Civil War.
Also, Red Skull being guardian of the Soul Stone is kind of meaningless other than as a “Hey, remember this character?” moment because there’s not any damn history between him and Thanos, Natasha, or Clint.
You know who did have a developed relationship? Steve and Bucky. You know who did have history with Red Skull. Steve and Bucky. You know who would have been a better narrative choice to go after the Soul Stone? You get where I’m going here, but Steve and Bucky.
Can you fucking imagine Steve and Bucky not trusting Red Skull, thinking it’s some sort of sick joke, but then coming to realize one of them has to be sacrificed. Can you imagine that fight as they try to be the one to sacrifice for the other? Bucky has his hand locked around Steve’s arm to try and keep him from falling, Steve looks him in the eyes, and says- “I told you, I’d always be with you until the end of the line” and slips free to fall? It would have been a heartbreaking moment that actually did some justice to them.
Meanwhile, in fucking New York, when you’re trying to steal something from under the eyes of superheroes and SHIELD and the world in general, you have actual spies trying to steal it and being able to use some fucking stealth. And seeing Natasha fight herself, past-Natasha wary as hell, present-Natasha trying to talk some sense into her, that would be awesome.
And then, fighting Thanos at the end… Well, if Steve isn’t there to pick up the hammer.
Let Natasha do it. Give her the answer to the question she didn’t want to ask.
And leave Natasha, the one who has been running the Avengers facilities and teams since the Snap, as the one to rebuild. As the two most prominent faces of the Avengers have fallen, let the one who likes to work in the shadows be the one to pick up the pieces. She’s got ties to the survivors- she’s worked with Sam, with Wanda, with Clint, with everyone. It would make sense for her to be the one helping rebuild things.
And then they could actually give her a solo movie in a way that makes sense- when her character is still alive.
OP, I would love to write this. Can I please please please write this???
I am super-late in replying here, but: yes, please, absolutely go for it, @chickwhodoesthethingwiththestuff, if you want to write it, go for it.
Oh fuck me I was looking at the tags people have made on this, because I’m a fiend who derives serotonin from the tags of anguish people leave in response to what I write sometimes, and then I caME ACROSS THIS:
@jacyevans, how dare you hide that in the tags, that is beautiful and the continuity and she’s like the one regular person on the battlefield, no powers, no super-suit, just training and reflexes and this shield that belonged to a good man, and above all of that, she plays that she’s the most cynical of them all, but she’s got her faith and her dedication to who the Avengers are, who they should be, she’s holding on so fucking tight to that faith, and then she hears her best friend’s voice after five years and that strength and that persistence and that faith is vindicated. I am fucking crying at this, holy shit. Well done.

if Orville Peck and Lil Nas X came together and did a cover of “Rhinestone Cowboy” I think both I and society could begin to heal
best part of dsmp lore is not knowing what the fuck is happening ever and having all your friends liveblog at you "RANBOO DIED" and "PUNZ IS WORKING WITH DREAM AND HAS BEEN THE ENTIRE TIME" while you watch niki nihachu walk into a mcdonalds
