PUNIC WARS THREE

PUNIC WARS FOUR

This is so wholesome

please remember that I am a Canadian illustrator and it is fucking bizarre to come to me with medical questions

Why would you limit yourself to drawing Canadians?

everyone else unfollow me I want to be alone with arsnof

It’s been a bit of a weird week, so I asked everyone on Twitter what some of their favourite animals were, and channelled my energy into drawing as many as I could! (All birds at the moment, because I’m slightly bias ahaha)

imagine you make microwave popcorn and by wild chance every single kernel has the same exact popping point and after like a minute in the microwave the bag instantly fills up with a single earsplitting gunshot noise would that be fucked up or what

Guys.

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?

where's the fucking Anthony Bourdain quote

Van Helsing in movie adaptations: Dracula's nemesis

Van Helsing in the book: Dracula's real estate lawyer's wife's girlfriend's fiancé's boyfriend's university professor

What's extra funny is that despite being narrative foils, Dracula and Van Helsing literally never interact. They're in the same room together twice in the entire novel (both on October 3rd). Like, it's Van Helsing who drives him out that morning as the Guy With the Crucifix but he was leaving anyway, just waiting for an audience. And that's the entire extent of it. Dracula's final villain monologue is directed at all of them.

Dracula is, by an overwhelming margin, the vampire Van Helsing interacts the least with. It's so funny. Heck, Dracula is the character Van Helsing interacts the least with, not counting incidentals like Mr. Swales

In addition, his interest in vampires comes from his general interest in myths and conspiracy theories, like, vampires may not even be his top 5 or top 10 cryptids
