Summary:

When told to choose his hell, Itadori Yuuji picks the easier one—a clean death, then and there. He couldn’t have known that it was never really a choice.

Or, Gojou Satoru kidnaps a teenager, supposedly for his own good.

Chapter:

Their room is on the twelfth floor, and both sides of the elevator are mirrored. Yuuji has come to hate seeing his reflection out of the corners of his eyes. He never looks like himself that way.

Sometimes, he’s too tall. Sometimes, he has too many limbs. Sometimes, there are two of him.

He breathes a little easier once he’s out of the elevator, trailing after Gojou in a corridor lined with rooms on either side. Gojou pauses in front of a door and swipes his keycard.

Yuuji makes it three steps into the room before freezing. “What the hell?”

Gojou turns his head. “What’s wrong?”

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
