Fun Fact
Tumblr media
Do you know about the carbonized papyri of Herculaneum? Thanks to AI, they can now be read without any damage! This allows us to gain some interesting new information: for example, one of the recently deciphered papyri tells us about the last night of Plato. Apparently, he had a high fever and couldn't stand the music played while he was on his deathbed. We also learned where he was buried: in the garden of the Academy, near a temple dedicated to the Muses.
I hate AI in many contextes, but I'm glad it's being used in this one.

Herculaneum Scrolls Reveal Plato's Burial Place
Researchers used AI to decipher an ancient papyrus that includes details about where Greek philosopher is buried.
The decipherment of an ancient scroll has revealed where the Greek philosopher Plato is buried, Italian researchers suggest.
Graziano Ranocchia, a philosopher at the University of Pisa, and colleagues used artificial intelligence (AI) to decipher text preserved on charred pieces of papyrus recovered in Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town located near Pompeii, according to a translated statement from Italy's National Research Council.
Like Pompeii, Herculaneum was destroyed in A.D. 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted, cloaking the region in ash and pyroclastic flows.
One of the scrolls carbonized by the eruption includes the writings of Philodemus of Gadara (lived circa 110 to 30 B.C.), an Epicurean philosopher who studied in Athens and later lived in Italy. This text, known as the "History of the Academy," details the academy that Plato founded in the fourth century B.C. and gives details about Plato's life, including his burial place.

Historians already knew that Plato, the famous student of Socrates who wrote down his teacher's philosophies as well as his own, was buried at the Academy, which the Roman general Sulla destroyed in 86 B.C. But researchers weren't sure exactly where on the school's grounds that Plato, who died in Athens in 348 or 347 B.C., had been laid to rest.
However, with advances in technology, researchers were able to employ a variety of cutting-edge techniques including infrared and ultraviolet optical imaging, thermal imaging and tomography to read the ancient papyrus, which is now part of the collection at the National Library of Naples.
So far, researchers have identified 1,000 words, or roughly 30% of the text written by Philodemus.
"Among the most important news, we read that Plato was buried in the garden reserved for him (a private area intended for the Platonic school) of the Academy in Athens, near the so-called Museion or sacellum sacred to the Muses," researchers wrote in the statement. "Until now it was only known that he was buried generically in the Academy."

The text also detailed how Plato was "sold into slavery" sometime between 404 and 399 B.C. (It was previously thought that this occurred in 387 B.C.)
Another part of the translated text describes a dialogue between characters, in which Plato shows disdain for the musical and rhythmic abilities of a barbarian musician from Thrace, according to the statement.
This isn't the first time that researchers have used AI to read ancient scrolls that survived Mount Vesuvius's eruption. Earlier this year, researchers deciphered a different scroll that was charred during the volcanic eruption at a nearby villa that once belonged to Julius Caesar's father-in-law.

Deja Vu
Warnings: none (I think), let me know if I missed any :)
Pairings: Diego Hargreeves x daughter reader
Request: idk where to request for them but it would be sooo cool if you did diego hargreeves x platonic reader where the reader is a teenager and has a stuttering problem and it starts off angsty then diego comforts them and ends w like fluff?? i’ve never requested anything before😭
Request by: @ominaisugly
*not my gif*
Summary: Diego helps you with something he had to go through once too
A/N: Sorry this is so short!!
Please don’t plagiarize my work, you may reblog if you like but I’m asking that you don’t steal my hard work
Tumblr media
“H-hello,” You tried saying, staring at yourself intensely in the mirror, “M-my n-n-name is… is…” You paused, breath picking up slightly, “I-is Y/n, an-and t-today-“ You cut yourself off, unable to go on anymore.
You let out a loud groan of frustration, pushing the heels of your hands into your eyes to try and keep the tears that threatened to show themselves at bay.
After a moment, you sniffed and dropped your hands, trying again, “He-Hello, m-my nam-name i-i-is-“ You cut yourself off with a small yell of frustration, glaring harshly at your reflection through blurry vision.
Diego was walking by your room on the way towards the kitchen when he paused in his step, hearing your voice.
“H-hello, m-my n-n-name-“
He peered through the slightly open door in curiosity and his heart seemed to freeze as his breath hitched.
You were standing in front of your mirror, a look of determination slowly slipping off your face into one of despair as you tried to speak, and a sense of deja vu hit him like a speed train.
“Y/n?” Your father called out hesitantly after a moment, making you whip around to face him, “What’s wrong?”
“T-this st-stupid speech f-for c-class!” You sobbed out in between hiccups, “I-I can’t do it w-with th-this s-st-stupid s-stutter!”
Young Diego, standing in front of his own mirror in his own room, unable to speak the sentences he so desperately wanted to because of his stuttering tongue.
“Oh, sweetheart,” He moved to stand right behind you, placing a hand gently on your shoulder and rubbing it comfortingly, “It’s okay, I understand. I used to have a stutter too.” Diego admitted.
You sniffed, craning your neck to face him, “R-really?” You asked sadly.
His mother, Grace, entering his room and comforting him.
He sighed slightly, leaning down and placing a soft kiss on the crown of your head, “Yeah, I couldn’t master it.”
“Wh-what did y-you do about it-t?” You looked up at him with those wide, doe eyes of yours.
“Picture the words you want to say in your mind, Diego.” Her soft voice floated through his ears, “I believe in you.”
“Here,” He gently turned you so that you were facing the mirror again, “Try picturing the words in your mind before you say them. It helps, I promise.”
You took a deep breath before you shakily moved your eyes to meet your own in your reflection once more and were silent for a moment before you spoke, carefully thinking over each word, “Hello… my… my name is… my name is Y/n. Hello, my name is Y/n.”
Your eyes lit up immediately following your success. One that seemed so small, but meant so, so much to you.
Grace cheering him on when he was finally able to do it.
“You did it!” Your father cheered, wrapping his arms around you tightly as you began jumping up and down excitedly.
“I did it!” You echoed back, still managing to be void of your normal stutter.
“I’m so proud of you,” Diego breathed out. And he meant it, pride swirled in his chest in a way that made him feel so good inside.
“Thank you, dad.” You rested your head on his chest for a moment before turning yourself back to the mirror and continuing your speech, Diego there to coach and encourage you the whole way through.
The Hargreeves 🦹- @lovanitu @your-local-questioning-agender @jvdethirlwall @ineedmorefanfics2 @sambucky8 @spidyyparker @mukbee @i-writes-things @wolfmoonmusic

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠
Uncle!Klaus x Niece!Reader | Recommended by: @popfishjr
WC: 688
Tumblr media
It was a dark Saturday evening, your father, Diego, was out doing... whatever Diego does on a dark Saturday evening. So, you decided, what better to do than hang out with your favourite uncle, Uncle Klaus. You rolled out of bed and reached for the phone. Klaus was never busy on a Saturday, usually he would spend his Saturdays with you, so you called him and told him to come pick you up. He agreed, excitedly talking about what he had planned.
"Oh my, dear, dear (Y/N/N), you will LOVE what I have planned today!"
Intrigued, you questioned what he meant however he refused to tell you. Excited to find out what he meant, you rushed to get ready and waited to hear the honk of the horn to tell you that Klaus was there and ready to collect you.
~*~*~*~*~
As you finished doing your hair, you heard the HONK and rushed to put your shoes on and get out of the house. As you shut and locked the door, you turned around to be greeted with the sight of your uncle sat in his car with a child-like smile on his face. Quickly, you walked up to the car, pulled the door open, and sat down next to your uncle.
"Will you tell me what we're doing now?"
"Nope, no chance, you'll find out soon enough!"
As you drove further into the city, you were greeted with bright, fun-coloured lights and you felt the car slow down. Finally, you realised what Klaus had planned. He was taking you to a carnival. You grinned happily, and looked over to Klaus. As you pulled into the parking lot, you got hit with memories from years back when you went to the carnival with Klaus and your dad.
You got out of the car and Klaus grabbed you by the sleeve and dragged you to some of the rides. You screamed from the thrill and held onto your uncle on the rides. Laughs and shrieks of happiness were all that emanated from you and your uncle. Dizzy from the rides, you stumbled over to the cotton candy stands, you giggled as you shared it with your uncle. He reached into his pockets and realised quickly he didn't have enough money to keep paying for all the fun things the both of you wanted.
"Hey, (Y/N/N)? Don't tell your Dad about what I'm about to do."
You looked at him, perplexed, as he stood from the bench and walked over to a wealthy-looking man. You sat there, staring at him, unknowing to what he was about to do. Sneakily, he reached into the mans pockets and pickpocketed some money. You gasped but as Klaus held a finger to his lips playfully you couldn't help but let out a small laugh. You knew Klaus shouldn't be doing that but you were used to a lot of his illegal shenanigans.
Before he could get too far from the man, the victim of the theft realised what had happened and turned around to see Klaus with his money. You heard the man shout and he began to chase Klaus and you. You shot up from the bench, hearing a string of 'Shit!' fall from Klaus' mouth. You ran as fast as you could with your uncle, you ran through some attractions, hoping to lose the man. The man hadn't lost you and Klaus but he had been significantly slowed down so there was now quite a bit of distance between you and the man. You managed to make it to the car and threw yourselves in and sped off before the man could reach you.
As you slowed down, realising the man couldn't get to you anymore, the panic wore off and you and Klaus began to laugh hysterically. You laughed about the incident all the way back to your house. After a long day, you both stumbled into the living room. Too tired to change or even go up to your room, you and klaus collapsed onto the couch and fell asleep quickly.
As chaotic as it was, you deemed it a pretty successful day.
~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Really hate this but hope you enjoyed reading!!! <3

hello! can i request some headcanons for a teen!reader seeing dabi as a father figure?
A/N: There they are, I'm not sure how happy I'm with it but I hope you like them!! Also I'm not doing so good mentally right now, so sorry for the lower pace I get stuff done.
-S
+400ish words.
TW: Not having a family and breaking your arm. Nothing really mention worthy.
Tumblr media
Dabi is terrified of the idea of being a father.  
I don’t think Dabi wants biological kids, because of not wanting to continue his painful quirk or his ‘fucked up’ genes.  
His plan wasn’t even going to be any type of father figure to you.  
But he couldn’t leave you to be all alone.  
First time you called Dabi ‘dad’ was an accident.  
You needed some lunch money, so you went to Dabi.  
Dabi took a few bills out of his back pocket and gave them to you without a word.  
And not thinking even for a second you said: “Thanks dad.” Before leaving, not realizing what you had just done. And still to this day you haven’t picked up on the fact.  
But Dabi, he heard you loud and clear. He didn’t say anything to you, not wanting you to get embarrassed. 
Dabi did shed one of his bloody tears, in the safety of the night. He just didn’t want to become his father and questioned how good of a dad he could be, he was a criminal after all.  
But still Dabi became softer around you. After all, if you saw him as a father figure, he should give you the best father you could have.  
The next time you called Dabi ‘dad’ was after you had gotten hurt after you got stuck in a crossfire in a fight between the league and a few heroes.  
Your arm had broken, and you were becoming a bubbling mess of anxiety.  
Dabi basically carried you to the hide-out.  
He hated to see you hurt, shaking while you were getting treated. 
After you were treated, Dabi barked everyone to leave the room. But you couldn’t look at him. You had gotten yourself hurt for nothing, and Dabi looked like he was ready to kill someone at any moment. 
“I’m sorry…,” You whispered curling to a ball on the bed you were laying on. 
Then the waterworks started as you sobbed, scared of what Dabi would say. 
But instead of saying something Dabi came to sit next to you and took you into a hug, while telling you it was all okay. 
You tired yourself so well that while falling asleep you whispered: “I’m sorry, dad…” before sleeping.
Needless to say the next morning was a bit awkward but calling him dad became a bit of a habit of yours while healing from your injuries.

Platonic yandere parents/teachers Wolverine, Storm, Xavier, Beast, Magneto, Mystique, and Sabretooth in a Wings of Fire AU, for Reader their (unknown to Reader) adoptive dragonet...
Reader is going to a new school, a place between Pyrrhia and Pantala, and they're trying to fit in. They struggle a bit, not used to so many other dragons and dragonets, especially their clawmates and sharing a room with some of them... Yet the teachers are very nice to them! Almost alarmingly so... But they also are really fun when they want to be!
You have The Professor, or Chary, the NightWing, who teaches about dragon evolution and anatomy, who also teaches scales and squares to any students who are curious. He's always patient and calm, and protects his students from threats along with the other teachers. Sadly, he's paralyzed from his tail to his back talons, but he has a wheelchair to help hold his talons and let him go from class to class in the palalace-like school. He's nice, amicable, and seems to know what everyone is feeling or thinking... Maybe he's a mindreader? In that case, maybe Reader should be more careful? Yeah, that's a good plan-!
You have Storm the IceWing, the agriculture and dragon cultures teacher, who teaches students about different plants of the continents and dragon tribes, and about the tribes' different cultures and relationships. She's pretty and powerful, with sharp claws and the ability to shoot frostbreath from her mouth. She likes to tend to the gardens, and she let's students help her. While she doesn't have any kids there, she does have a nephew! Reader hopes to befriend both of them. The one weird thing is how their teacher always offers them different berries and fruits, but Reader usually declines them- even if some have a sweet-snelling syrup or honey on them...
There's Locust the HiveWing, the art and history teacher, who shows the students different art forms and tells then the history of the tribes, all the way back to even the Scorching. He can be pretty gruff and stern, but he does help if anyone asks him, and is understanding to anyone who has fears or doubts. He sometimes can be found in the art rooms, carving little wooden statues or hanging up art that the students make. Reader wonders if he used to be a soldier from how he acts... They hope he doesn't ever get mad at them...
There's Beauty the SilkWing, who teaches health classes and science, and also reads classic literature sometimes to the students. He's big, but a gentle giant. He drinks tea a lot, and even helps the students make tea, but he does his best to keep coffee away from them, as he says it's bad for their health. Reader thinks he's sweet. They just need to hide their coffee from him...
There's also Manta the SeaWing, who is the librarian and literature teacher. He tends to be cold and collected, but does not tolerate bullying or picking on differences. He hates scavengers, and doesn't like that Chary tries to make peace with them. He has twins, both of whom are students at the school. Reader has a small fear of their teacher, but also respect. They wonder why he hates scavengers...
There's also Majestic the RainWing, who teaches about geology and the environment. She seems to dislike most students, save for her son and adopted daughter, yet is gentler with younger dragonets, too. She doesn't seem to be pleased very often, and she helps keep scavengers away from the school, along with Manta and Sawfly. One can find her sometimes wandering the halls, scouring them in case any students are causing trouble. Reader never wants to get on her bad side...
Then there's Sawfly the HiveWing, who teaches defense, hunting, and games to the students. He's the largest of the teachers, and doesn't seem fond of anyone except Locust. He sometimes cooks food, and actually let's some of the nicer students try it. Usually the food is really good. While he's an imposing figure and extremely skilled in fighting and camouflage, it's best to steer clear from him when he's in a bad mood. Reader wonders if he's nicer than he seems...
Chary: Charles Xavier/The Professor
Storm: Ororo Munroe/Storm
Locust: Logan Howlett/Wolverine
Beauty: Hank McCoy/Beast
Manta: Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto
Majestic: Raven Darkholme/Mystique
Sawfly: Victor Creed/Sabretooth
(The school is almost like a mini palace/tower/fortress, with clean halls and dorm rooms and a built-in plumbing system that has small rivers in the prey center for drinking water, some sinks in the art room, some small bowls or pools of water in the dorm rooms, etc. There are little towers/turrets to look at the moons and stars, pools and gardens for recreational use, and there is a large library in the school as well. Statues can be found in some larger halls, and there are sometimes small areas with pillows for students to rest and read and relax together if they want. The students come from Pyrrhia and Pantala, and hybrids are welcome just as much as any other tribe. Students have special beds/sleeping areas suited to their tastes, such as kelp beds for SeaWings, hammocks for RainWings and SilkWings, rock ledges for SkyWings, etc. . Reader is new to the school, and is overwhelmed, but the teens are slowly getting Reader to open up a bit. The teachers like Reader, noting how polite and sincere they are, and how Reader puts effort into their work, even if it isn't perfect. I'm imagining X-Men Evolution specifically for this AU...)

[ID: Five and real person! Delores drawn as centaurs. Both of them are old; Five is commission era. As such, he's wearing a suit and tie, has a neat mustache, and short hair. His horse body is light grayish white. Delores is wearing a nonsensical evening gown, and her centaur body is a large red draft horse with light feathers. They are hugging each other tightly; Delores has to bend down to reach. End ID.]
old married couple <3
i dont have any canon basis for making Delores a draft horse but it brings me joy and there was no chance I was ever going to do anything else. she deserves to be Tall. Also, am contributing one more old Delores to the world, an even rarer creature than old Five.

As Seen on Disney
Warnings: slight mentions of child abandonment, let me know if I missed any :)
Pairings: Viktor Hargreeves x daughter reader, Hargreeves siblings x niece reader
Request: Hello may I request platonic Hargreeves with Vanya! Daughter reader? Like maybe Vanya found us in a basket in front of her door and was like "welp, might as well" (this takes place in first season) and for some reason we have a Disney vibe™️ if reader burst in a song other people join and know the lyrics and dance, she can underastand animals, etc. Like Giselle from Enchanted but reader is kind of embarrased. I just want everyone to be dumbfonded by this real life Disney princess
Request by: Anon
*not my gif*
Summary: Viktor finally introduces you to his siblings
A/n: This kinda sucks, sorry
Please don’t plagiarize my work, you may reblog if you like but I’m asking that you don’t steal my hard work
Tumblr media
“Guys,” Viktor cleared his throat, almost nervously, “I want you to meet my daughter, Y/n.”
All of his siblings froze, their eyes snapping over to where he stood in the doorway of the living room, watching as he gently beckoned to someone from off to the side.
Slowly, you shuffled into view with your head hung low, eyes flitting up to everyone in the room for a second before immediately skirting away again, “Hi,” You whispered shyly.
“D-daughter?” Diego stuttered out, unable to wrap his mind around the fact that his own brother had a child he never knew about.
“Not biologically!” Viktor immediately assured them, “But a few years ago she was left on my doorstep with a note talking about how her mother didn’t know anyone else that could take care of her.”
Allison raised an eyebrow, “Do you know her mother?”
Viktor shook his head lightly, “No, no, it’s not like that. It’s-“
“I’m like you guys,” You blurted out, face reddening at your own words.
Fives eyebrows shot up, “Like us in the way of having special abilities?”
“Exactly like that,” Viktor confirmed, reaching over and rubbing your back comfortingly, “I was going to tell you guys about her during dads funeral but then everything happened and I never got the chance.”
“Ooh!” Klaus squealed, bounding over and scooping you up in his arms, “I have another neice! Which isn’t saying much because I never met Claire, but-“
“Put her down, you moron,” Five hissed, sauntering over and slapping his brothers hands away, “You’re probably making her uncomfortable.”
You shook your head a little bit, “No, it’s alright.” You whispered.
“So, kid,” Diego said, bracing his arms on his knees as he leaned forward, “What is it that you can do?”
And all at once, you seemed to crawl back into your shell and your eyes averted themselves to the ground once more where you were kicking your shoe back and forth slightly.
“She can talk to animals,” Viktor told them for you, “It’s okay,” He whispered just for you to hear, “They’ll understand.”
You looked up at him for a moment, reading his eyes, before shyly looking back at your aunt and uncles and whispering, “I can also sing.”
“What do you mean by that?” Luther asked out of pure curiosity.
“It’s like a Disney movie,” Your father offered helpfully, “She can’t control it, but it happens a lot where she randomly breaks into song.”
It’s silent for a moment, one that had you holding your breath and your heart hammering from not only anticipation for how they would react, but from sheer embarrassment of it all.
“That is so cool!” Klaus suddenly exclaimed, “Show me! Show me! Show me!” He was bouncing up and down like a child.
Relief flooded through you like a tsunami wave and you cracked a small smile at the fact that they weren’t weirded out or disgusted by what you could do.
“She can’t control it,” Five hissed before rolling his eyes at the man, “God, don’t you listen to anything?”
“That is so cool!” Allison agreed, walking over and crouching in front of you before embracing you gently, “And it’s very nice to meet you, Y/n.” A chorus of agreements sounded from the rest of the siblings.
Your grin widened as you made eye contact with your father, who grinned widely at you back. Not just you, but he too had been dreading and been so nervous for how today was going to go that when it actually went well, it felt like a giant weight was being lifted off of your shoulders.

Robert saying that Klaus is somehow happy the other siblings can't see Ben because he likes to have some kind of dominion over their dynamic and relationship (hinting that he is jealous of it) is making me feel. things.
He also very honestly underlines that the power he holds on Ben is unbalanced and unfair, which I'm grateful for because this makes the toxicity in their relationship stand out as something not malicious, but still accountable. You can love someone so deeply you end up abusing the ascendant you have over them for the sole purpose of keeping them locked, close to you, which is obviously not good - but it's real. It happens. I myself have been on the other end of the line.
In view of this, the scenes where Klaus straight up tells the others that Ben is not there while he actually is feel kind of different, don't they? They never sat right with me because I wasn't happy with the idea of Klaus wanting to "alienate" Ben just to upset him, but Robert's analysis kind of changed everything.
He is of course doing it out of selfishness, but Klaus probably wants to be the only one Ben can interact with because Ben is the only special thing he has at this point, and he doesn't want to share him.
A toxic relationship is never to be excused, but it can be dug into, and I'm glad they are doing exactly this with Klaus and Ben. There is so much to unpack.
