I’m reading this book at the moment, and did you know that shepherds had their own counting system in parts of Northern England, Wales and the Scottish Borders?

“… let’s start with a little known, deliciously quirky, remnant called the 'shepherds' score', or Yan Tan Tethera. It’s an ancient way of counting, still used by some shepherds today, in northern England, Wales, parts of the southwest and lowland Scotland. The system is vigesimal, or base-20. It stops at twenty - once a shepherd had counted to this number, he’d mark it in some way (a notch on his crook, perhaps, or a stick placed in the ground) and then start again at one.

Linguistically, its origins are lost, but some scholars believe it may have its roots in Brittonic (or Brythonic) languages, those early versions of Welsh, Cornish and Breton spoken during the Iron Age. Individual words vary slightly from region to region, but they all share remarkable similarities. The Lincolnshire version goes like this:

Yan (1), Tan (2), Tethera (3), Pethera (4), Pimp (5), Sethera (6), Lethera (7), Hovera (8), Covera (9), Dik (10), Yan-a-dik (11), Tan-a-dik (12), Tethera-dik (13), Pethera-dik (14), Bumfit (15), Yan-a-bumfit (16), Tan-a-bumfit (17), Tethera-bumfit (18), Pethera-bumfit (19), Figgot (20).

The numbers above ten use a combination of smaller digits - so eleven is Yan-a-dik (one and ten) - it's brilliant in its simplicity and rhythmic bounce when spoken aloud.”

— A Short History of the World According to Sheep, Sally Coulthard, p. 68

so I'm not watching The Buccaneers, because period dramas have to pass EXTENSIVE peer review before I engage with them (for my own sanity). but this showed up on my YouTube recommended:

I.

this show is set in the 1870s. an unspecified year, and pre- vs. post-1875 does matter for fashion, but the decade in general that gave us Looks such as these:

and the best these designers could do was Lob With Headband + Frumpy Prom Dress What Does Not Fit? (even if the girl in question had short hair, at the time she would not have worn it that unstyled, especially not for evening. plus that is plenty long enough to pin back and attach a false chignon to, something common back then even if a woman DID have long hair)

apparently, based on interviews, this was a choice and not a budget thing. and like. I don't know about you guys, but I'm so damn tired of designers who make media set in eras they clearly don't even like the fashion of

congrats you made it less visually interesting. great job.

I'm so fed up of people posting about leather being environmentally friendly, ignoring that 80% of leather currently produced is chrome-tanned and awful for the environment, then going "well obviously I meant traditionally tanned leather" when someone points out that most leather isn't environmentally friendly.

If you mean traditionally tanned leather, then say traditionally tanned leather! There are people who don't know different tanning methods exist or that chrome tanning is bad for the environment.

#though mass producing traditionally tanned leather would also be terrible for the environment #(obviously as a vegan I support ending the use of leather wherever possible and replacing it with plant-based alternatives)

the people in the tags understand me. starembers art is super pretty but also weird at times.

#xie lian has been doing manual labor for a living (breaking boulders on his chest WITH NO SPIRITUAL ENERGY brick laying farming etc) #im anti twink xie lian #also i dont think he should have mxtx protagonist snowy white skin. maybe as a sheltered prince. but he has been planting rice for years. #AT LEAST GIVE HIM A TAN #and hua cheng died as a malnourished 17 year old (he has been working out since then but i still prefer skinnier headcanons). #why does everybody have light eyes (even putting aside the colorism in the novel.) #why does xie lian have this wide-eyed-lips-parted-blank look and hua cheng have bedroom eyes all of the time #(not that they can't necessarily make these expressions but augh.) #why are they tall as fuck in every full body shot #why are their hands so big. #again i don't want to put any opinions in an actual post because i havent read the comic and it might be different than i think #but just based on the art ive seen... theyve been very yaoified. thats the best word i have #even by the point the manhua has reached (lqq arc iirc) #they've been having sincere and vulnerable moments #and i havent really seen panels that tell me that. let them be silly and awkward and fuck up. even if it makes them less sexy for a moment #and also?? xie lian (again just based off the art) seems to have lost a lot of agency? #he is a 'go with the flow' guy but he is also pretty situationally aware and clever #but the vibes i get are that he gets wide-eyedly dragged from plot point to plot point #(in the case where hua cheng slung him over his shoulder literally??) #(he would not fucking do that book 1.) #please correct me if i'm wrong #i'll probably get around to reading the manhua faster if someone tells me theyre more in character than i think they are #lmao #if you love the manhua disregard me. #not art #to delete l8er #(possibly) #(if i turn out to be wrong about this which is possible) #(or if someone decides they are very emotionally invested in my medium intensity feelings)

Interesting fact about Ganondorf’s horse in OoT and the Era of the Wilds (because I am a horse nerd)

Though very rare, it is possible for a horse that looks like this to occur in real life!

This is due to a gene that is only able to be seen on horses with a black base (including bays) known as the silver gene! This gene isn't particularly rare, but usually, it produces a silver or white color to the mane and tail, but it has been known to turn the mane and tail blonde, and very rarely it will make them red.

Aah yes!! I did not know what that gene was called, but iirc Epona's design, too, is based on that mutation!

You could argue it's why Ingo was so keen on gifting her to Ganondorf, if her mutation was similar enough to Gerudo horses to breed them!

#get a shiny gerudo stallion #i do like that the gossip stones specify that his is a solid black gerudo stallion #which could also imply that Epona -- too -- is a Gerudo mare #I'm super biased but this all really only feeds my 'Malon's mom was a Gerudo' headcanons lol #they're so close to the border -- the gerudo are the only people in OoT who do horse-based sports -- it's a theory I enjoy a lot #and thanks to wilds era we know there are light-skinned Gerudo too #although that will not keep me from drawing malon with darker skin because even if she's not gerudo she's country #and country girls tan

If the pyro archon turns out to be fully white, I better not see people mocking those who get angry about it, especially if you are NOT from the culture natlan is based on. If you know NOTHING from such culture THEN refrain yourself from saying "told you so" or "you should have seen it coming". Indigenous mesoamericans and their myths get barely ANY representation in the media, so for a game as popular as genshin to show some of it, we of course got our HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS. Respect people's wishes and the hope to finally see some of their culture being represented CORRECTLY in a game that people from all around the world play.

#if it gets leaked and i see comments like 'idk why people get mad' or 'it's dumb get mad about it' - i'll hardblock #barely no one knows aztec or maya myths cause the media doesn't talk about it #if u dont care then fine. but WE do and we really want it to be done correctly. #'but it's hoyo' yeah then they can add a tan to the characters like xinyan or kaeya. #I KNOW IT'S NOT ENOUGH but an aztec based god being fully white is just . ...
