Last Supper in Pompeii: Skeleton Mosaic.

This decorative mosaic which would have been set into the dining room floor in Pompeii shows a grinning skeleton holding two Askoi or wine jugs.⁠ ⁠ While putting a skeleton on your dining room floor today might seem a bit odd, for the Romans, it was completely normal. This is because the skeleton reminded them to seize the day, or 'carpe diem' as the Romans used to say.

In this dining room, the skeleton would have served as a reminder to enjoy the meal while they could. In ancient Rome, food and wine played a big part in the afterlife as well.

Sunrise Guarded by Night Chapter 4: Rent Due

The night arrives to pay the new landlord. But it’s not just the two goons who show up to collect.

Pairing: Nightwing x Ileana Dimitriov (OC)

Warnings/Promises: food mention, canon-level violence, use of gun

Word Count: 850

Note: Things are heating up! Only one more chapter left (and it’s got smut!)  Happy reading! Comments and reblogs are always welcome. This is the third part of a commission that came in. Catch up here:

Chapter 1: Every Morning || Chapter 2: New Landlord || Chapter 3: Midnight Sleuthing

The due date inched closer like a mold spot. No matter what Tajra said, Ileana refused to let her switch up her schedule. A possible night out wasn’t a blip on the back burner. Not with the rent and upcharge coming Friday night. 

On the morning it was due, Tajra was a wreck. She dropped two drink orders and had to remake them. Her usually bright smile instead left the shoppe with a foreboding aura. Ileana found herself unusually calm. The rent was prepared. And the extra fee. It had hurt to pull that much out of the bank, but it was necessary. Knowing she wouldn’t be able to sleep, she worked for the whole day. Maybe she could sleep on her off day. Officer Grayson’s visit came and went like any other patron. 

At closing time, Tajra tried once more to stick around. “This floor is filthy. I’ll probably come in tonight and give it a good mopping.”

“You’ll do no such thing. Go home, Tajra.” Ileana winced at the coldness in her voice. Forcing a smile, she gave Tajra a hug. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” As much as she would have liked the company, watching Tajra leave made her feel better. 

The store would never be cleaner. Top to bottom, spick and span. Places that had never been dusted and swept were cleansed deeper than a germaphobe’s muddy child. Between tasks, Ileana checked the drawer and the envelope. At least twice she took it into the kitchen to count it. All there. Never once did she have a cup of coffee. Who needed caffeine when there was anxiety? 

Earlier that Wednesday, a note arrived saying the pick-up would happen at ten. At 9:55 pm, Ileana finally sat down, wringing her hands. At 9:59, a knock rattled the front door.

 Three people stepped in. 

 Jack and John, and a woman with long black hair and a long black coat. She looked around while the messengers asked for the money and any leftover pastries. 

 “I’m- I’m afraid we sold them all.” Ileana’s skin crawled as Jack walked close behind her. “I usually only make enough to sell. Keeps the overhead prices down.”

 John shrugged. “That’s too bad. Maybe you and Mrs. Askoy could keep back a few for us next month? I bragged about them to our friend here. She was really looking forward to a snack.”

 “It’s alright, John. I’ve actually been in during the day to try the wares.” The woman gave a warm smile that Ileana couldn’t place. “Maybe I could book a weekly order in exchange for a lower rent. Does that sound fair to you?” She stepped close enough for Ileana to smell her spicy perfume. 

 “Ye- yes. Sounds fair.”

 “Good.”

Ileana heard it before she felt it. The crack of the woman’s palm across her cheek shocked more than it hurt. Jack held her upright when another slap across her other cheek almost sent her sprawling. 

The woman apologized quietly. “Usually, we wouldn’t do this. But you’ve got a gargoyle watching over you. And I’d like to meet him.”

On cue, a man dressed in blue and black slid into the shoppe, batons drawn. “A bit rough for a pick-up, isn’t it?”

A slick grin slid across the woman’s face. “Nice to see you again, Nightwing.”

“Likewise, Ms. Domna.”

“It’s Domino now.” She began to unbuckle her coat and nodded for Jack and John to move Ileana to the side. “Shall we pick up where we left off? With a little fire?”

Faster than Ileana could blink, she whipped a gun out and fired. Jack covered her scream with his hand, hooting encouragement as Domino fired shot after shot. Nightwing continued to backflip and leap like an acrobat to avoid the bullets. He threw a baton, taking out Jack, and making Ileana scream. She wished she hadn’t. Nightwing stumbled over a chair. One more shot went through his arm, making him cry out. John rushed over to wrap his bicep around his throat, gripping his hair hard to hold up his face. 

Slowly Domino walked over, reloading her firearm. Ileana felt like she was going to vibrate out of her skin. Her eyes drifted to the broom leaning against the wall. 

“I have to say,” Domino levelled the gun with Nightwing’s forehead, “I expected more.” 

The gun went off, but the bullet embedded into the floor. 

Domino spun to glare at Ileana. The shoppe owner shivered, dropping the broom she’d used to deflect the shot. Nightwing took the split second and his other baton to whack John in the stomach. He tackled Domino before she could aim at Ileana. The ringing in Ileana’s ears turned into sirens. Blue and red lights reflected off the street windows. With a grunt, Domino shoved her knuckle into Nightwing’s wound, pushing him off. 

“Boys, let’s go.” They ran into the night. The sirens peeled off after them. 

Unsteady, Nightwing stood. “Are you alright?”

Ileana couldn’t nod. Her chest heaved, freezing at the edges of exhales and inhales. A squeak of a sob was the only warning before she fainted.

drawtober 2022 - day twenty nine

Askos in the form of a duck with a winged female divinity carrying a long ribbon.

This Etruscan pottery style is associated with workshops active in Chiusi and Volterra during the second half of the fourth century B.C. In addition to the duck's body and wings with carefully rendered feathers, each side is decorated with a floating nude female holding a ribbon. On some related pieces, these figures are winged and have often been identified as Etruscan lasas, nymph-like characters frequently depicted on engraved mirrors and pottery. The precise function of duck-askoi has been hotly debated. Many seem too large to have been used for expensive scented oils and instead may have contained lamp oil or olive oil. Because some earlier duck-askoi have been found with a special type of barrel-shaped vase, some scholars have suggested a connection with wine.

Koi fish with white fungal disease: How to cure it completely

When milky white spots appear on the skin, scales and the whole body of a koi fish, and the fish shows a listless expression, it has a white fungal disease. At this point, you need to quickly find timely treatment.

The main content of the article: Signs of white fungus disease in koi Why do koi fish get white fungal disease? How to treat white fungus in koi fish How to prevent white fungus disease in koi fish? Signs of white fungus disease in koi White fungal disease is a very common disease in aquarium fish, especially koi fish. This disease has the English name White Spot Disease, the name of a single-celled organism that grows inside an aquarium and attaches itself to the gills of a koi fish when it becomes mature.

Koi fish, when infected with white fungus, will show the following symptoms:

Many white spots appear on the body of the koi fish, then they spread to the fins, quickly attach to the skin and gradually spread to other areas. The fish become lethargic, anorexic or anorexic, indigestible and prone to stress. The water in a pond or culture tank, when infected with white fungus cells, will gradually turn cloudy and become opaque, as usual. At the same time, brown or white fungal scales similar to mosses appear in the aquarium, clinging to aquatic plants growing in the aquarium, or clinging to the surface and glass. Koi fish have milky white fungus all over their skin and fins when they are sick. Koi fish have milky white fungus all over their skin and fins when they are sick. Koi fish tail infected with white spots Koi fish tail infected with white spots Why do koi fish get white fungal disease? A white fungal disease in koi fish is caused by Multifiliis Ichthyophthirius. This parasite adheres firmly to the skin, fins and gills of the fish, slowly eating deep into the tissues along with cellular fluids. After 3 weeks, they quickly swim out of the skin of the fish and gather at the bottom of the aquarium/spawning pond in search of another parasite host.

In addition, poor aquarium water quality is also the cause of the more rapid spread of porcini disease. For water purification, farmers can use aquarium filter media to make their own hand filters, which saves money. If there are abundant conditions, farmers can equip the drum filter machine

How to treat white fungus in koi fish To treat white fungus in koi fish, you should first change the water source for the aquarium or pond, using a filter and heating system to increase the temperature of the aquarium to 30 - 32 degrees Celsius. Next, increase the temperature. Add salt to the aquarium up to 0.5% of the original salt you put in the aquarium, depending on the size of the aquarium and the original salt in the aquarium. (Link: How to Put Salt in a Carp Pond)

The water in the aquarium should be changed once a day. For large koi tanks, it is recommended to fish in small tanks or 20-40 liter pots and use the above treatment to quickly recover from the disease and avoid spreading to other koi fish in the lake.

For the treatment of seriously ill koi fish, it is necessary to drain all the water from the aquarium, leaving about 1 hand of water, then put 5 tablets of Megin into the aquarium, soak for 3 days, and then double the amount of water. Next 5 tablets. In addition, you should also use Emina Koi Probiotics, which help quickly break down excess organic matter in the water and at the bottom of the pond, helping to increase dissolved oxygen and stabilize pH. and inhibit the growth of pathogenic viruses.

Use of malachite green and formalin solution: Add malachite green and formalin solution at the rate of 1.5 mg of malachite green per 1 liter of water for 1 hour. This solution is available in pharmacies so you can buy it very easily. Please note that additional gloves must be worn when adding this solution to a carp pond/aquarium to avoid damaging the skin!

Malachite Koi Fungicides Malachite Koi Fungicides If you are unsure how to handle sick koi, you can contact the Askoi Koi Health Service immediately.

How to prevent white fungus disease in koi fish? To prevent white fungus disease, as well as other diseases in koi fish, you must adhere to the following methods:

Thoroughly clean the pond before stocking, apply CaCO3 (limestone) or Ca(OH)2 lime, dry the pond to kill pathogens. Acquired fish must know the source, not infected with pathogens. Newly caught fish must be isolated to avoid shock as they cannot immediately adapt to the new aquatic environment. How to care for a freshly bought fish is very simple. Prepare a container with an oxygen filtration and aeration system, mix with salt water 5kg / 1000l + 1g tetra / 100l of water or bathe fish with potassium permanganate. Fish quarantine period

Commission for @portabellogna!

Notably, this is the only commission so far I attached an annotated bibliography with xD;;

EDIT: I am overjoyed with the positive response this has gotten from people and I just wanted to address a few things

1. The bibliography is on this reblog on my main blog

2. I am thrilled with those of you who saw this image and decided to do something to improve your space: the day I completed (most of) the piece before final edits I made myself some lentils, cleaned up, and lit a candle so I’m happy that energy made it into the piece!

3. It is not Etruscan Boar Vessel 600-500 BC but an amalgamation of a few different Greek askoi drawn mostly from memory. Honestly I SHOULD have seen this reaction coming from the classics/archaeology fandoms, but maybe it’s a close Greek friend?

Ralsei of the Glorious Republic of Türkiye

This drawing was inspired by a headcanon place-of-birth post in the deltarune subreddit here https://www.reddit.com/r/Deltarune/comments/rs4qy7/full_names_and_nationalities_of_all_the_main_cast/ which featured “Ralsei Askoy” of the Republic of Turkey and BROTHER I was in stitches, the comments were gold also.
