Gansey has no standards no fear and no pretensions about food because he’s desperate to reject his snobby background, Blue thinks broccoli can be a whole meal but also only cooks out teenage rebellion, Henry meanwhile probably does some ridiculous thing like order gourmet polenta pizza with fancy toppings and a truffle oil drizzle for delivery to the campus house. 

In general good strategies are command-F’ing whatever you’re looking for (so votives, w/e) in an ebook/ in the Amazon preview of a book so you can see if it’s present in that book. Also, in your specific case, look in both archaeology and classics journals, and search articles/books about medicine, art, and religion in Etruscan culture. You don’t have to limit yourself just to searching for Etruscan specific uses - any general summary of anatomical votives in the classical world will probably have an Etruscan or at least pre-Roman Italian section. ALSO the journal Etruscan Studies was pretty helpful when I was looking for insanely specific Etruscan archaeology info.Hope this helps! 

i think the first post of urs i ever saw was one izzy rbed and in it u said adam was a republican and i was so distressed i called in the whole trc discord channel i was running at the time to discuss it and we all agreed u were probably right. so it was that u had unfortunately true trc takes. and then once we started following each other u seemed very very smart and it was intimidating!!! (this is like. still true) but also that u seemed like a very chill and funny person

who said that's a misinterpretation

true at all times... simply clarified now for public knowledge

oh phew, thank god. I’m still nervous over all this because it is much more, er... original than anything else I’ve written before. 

AAAA this is v cute. i’m glad i’m worthy of my url. i’m like 99% sure that you followed me first and i was Intimidated bc you had so many Smart Thoughts and Opinions,, but i saw and enjoyed so many of your posts thru izzy that i was like ,, this is dumb that we’re not Officially Mutuals and followed u back and now ALL THREE OF US PLAY DND

i thought u were the coolest blog like around bc u had such GOOD gansey posts that i couldnt not follow u and then i found out u like baseball and basically my first impression of u was u were the coolest blog on here
