OMG YOURE ALIVE
Hahaha, in a sense yes! I just ended up active on other platforms more than here- I do a lot of Dreamwidth role play for example (so communication tends to be through Plurk and Discord), but also, there's a lot of focus on my Ao3 writing...

Shizuka and Green baby besties commission just finished!!
[Commission Prices][Etsy][Buy me a Kofi]
(-blowing off the dust of my blog-) I got a commission! Specifically, I asked for two characters from my ongoing JoJo's fanfic, '50 Days and a Handful More'- located here- and ah!! They came out better than I could have dreamed! I'll probably still be slinking around in the shadows instead of using my blog properly, but I couldn't not come back to share this; Sammi has a fantastic art style, fun, creative, and so brilliantly colorful, and for that matter amazing AUs of his own, please be sure to check out his other stuff!!
Today’s AU sketchbook- The Digital World arc, but Noah changes his form to look like a teenager to mess with Seto’s head as a more genuine reflection of what he used to be, highlighting how much he’s grown.
Softly, To Myself, what if....I tried picking up Zexalura again....
It’s been a bit since I posted anything, but for the last bit I’ve been doing some art commissions and things- so here’s one of the recent ones! Black Hat as he appears in the DWRP setting of Ryslig!

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost
The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction
The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity
We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either
Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender
The gods didn’t actually have animal heads
Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)
The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous
Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”
The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit
‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”
While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago
The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved
The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum
Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose
Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards
Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”
The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)
While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition
It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that
Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass
I can’t believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On
Seth was not the god of “evil”, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasn’t completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies
Hats off to the few of you who’re reblogging this with tags saying you’re going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.
Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:
Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids
Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt
Hornung, E., The One and the Many: Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt
Dunand, F. & Zivie-Coche, C., Gods and Men in Egypt
Kemp, B., Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization
Bard, K., An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
Stevenson Smith, W., The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt
Kitchen, K. A., The Life and Times of Ramesses II, King of Egypt
Sweeney, D., Sex and Gender (in Ancient Egypt)
McDowell, A. G., Village Life in Ancient Egypt: Laundry Lists and Love Songs
Te Velde, H., Seth, God of Confusion
Guys do me a solid and reblog this version instead of continuously asking for sources on the other versions thanks

The Pokémon Company comment on the recent controversy regarding Pokémon Sword & Shield’s lack of inclusion of all Pokémon:
Following the recent controversy about Pokémon HOME’s connection with Pokémon Sword & Shield and the inability to transfer all Pokémon, The Pokémon Company have put out a statement:
“Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pokémon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. I’ve read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pokémon. Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After so many years of developing the Pokémon video games, this was a very difficult decision for me. I’d like to make one thing clear: even if a specific Pokémon is not available in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, that does not mean it will not appear in future games. The world of Pokémon continues to evolve. The Galar region offers new Pokémon to encounter, Trainers to battle, and adventures to embark on. We are pouring our hearts into these games, and we hope you will look forward to joining us on this new journey.”

Cruel temptation is having a fanfic idea in a fandom I have not written for, but knowing that until I can sort out an ENDING for said idea, starting the fanfic would simply doom all of my readers to yet another unfinished wip Forever,
[ Live Example | My AO3 Skins ]
While AO3 has a way to click to see notes at the end, this tutorial is how you can not only have your viewers click to view certain notes, but also click back to where they had been reading before. We don’t even need to use a workskin for this, but just an implementation of simple anchor links. So whether you have a lot of references in your work or just want to let your inner Pratchett* loose, this is how you do it.

problem with virtual world arc is some extremely dramatic shit happened, not the least of which is the revelation that gozaburo is still alive and terrible, but none of it had any effect on kaiba. i understand that it was a filler arc to kill time until the manga caught up, but in an ideal world the virtual world arc happens AFTER battle city so that kaiba yelling “you think i can’t get over a defeat?” at gozaburo holds real meaning because then it would happen after yami beats him in battle city, and yes, he can and has moved on. growth!!
obviously this is a DM-only take on the character bc someone who has moved on doesn’t build a rocket into the afterlife, but also dsod is not about kaiba’s need to beat yami (thanks dub) so much as it is about his need for validation from one of the only people he’s ever believed in/respected, and he feels like he has to ‘earn’ that validation by winning it in a card game, rather than receive it simply because he has inherent worth as a human being
