#it's literally a sarcophagus

[little-pondhead]

WAIT-

If Pariah Dark is kept in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, would that mean that Tucker, in some way, has power over it? Because of the whole pharaoh thing? The Sarcophagus is unknown in origin, but what if it came from the deities of Egypt? Could it have been known as something else before falling into the hands of the Observants?

#danny phantom #this is a stretch i'm aware #and i don't know shit about Egyptian mythology #but i read kane chronicles in middle school and googled things for about five minutes #but come one #it's literally a sarcophagus #Tucker is joked to be some sort of Egyptian pharaoh-god reincarnated #the link is there we just need to bullshit enough for it to work #pondhead blurbs

Prompt 105

 A cult summons the ghost king. Except they don’t. Instead they get these tiny white-haired triplets of toddlers blinking at the summoning circle looking confused. 

 They’ve gotten the ghost princes and princess instead. 

 The very young princes and princess who are none too pleased and going to cause problems on purpose for both rogues and heroes alike. As godlings de-aged into their ghost age are like to do. 

 Meanwhile in the Realms, Pariah is staring down at where his trio of ghost toddlers that Clockwork had handed him when he had first woken up and was still groggy just disappeared from. He looks over at Fright Knight, his dearest brother, who looks just as shocked. 

 Clockwork is going to kill them both if they don’t get the kids back now.

Let’s Ramble About Steggy

Y’all, I’m really missing the emotional journey of Peggy’s in EG: last time we see her, she’s still fragile over his loss (and tbh, I know she let him go, but I can’t imagine she’d ever stopped loving him more than learned to move on, and there’s plenty of evidence to support that). I want to see the moment she completely falls apart. I want to see the shock, the surprise, the gentle way he comes back—and for heaven’s sake, I want to see him go back!!

Rogers: the Musical is my most favorite thing ever, and their reunion is so precious; but when I saw it in person, I was waiting for her to run up and hug him. I know it’s theater and they couldn’t do that with the buildup and the story they were telling; and I love it the way it is. But I do wish we could get an actual, realistic telling of it. …Hey Marvel, I know it’s a tender, private moment, but could you hire Marcus and McFeely back for just a moment to do a six episode series on Steve returning the stones? Ending with what led up to that dance? Please?

(Though honestly, you should probably go read Dancing at Last by @melliabee. Her telling so so precious and tender and loving, and even though she has an apartment instead of a house in this, it’s the most accurate and detail-oriented telling I’ve ever read.)

#Steggy #major steggy #Avengers Endgame #fic recs #okay public service announcement: melliabee’s stories are literally the best #sarcophagus #Which I accidentally read after Cradle #that one Steggy AU #please go read them #and honestly #if they hired anyone but the writers of the cap movies to do said show #they’d mess it up so bad #I have zero faith in recent marvel movies

batman #227

[ID: Batman chasing after a beautiful blonde woman after saving the day once again. The narration reads, “His blood pounding, The Batman runs out of the chapel, his eyes straining until he sees the woman he seeks... And a pure joy catches his voice as he calls to her...” He happily exclaims for her to come to him as she somberly explains, “I can not, though, I wish with all my heart I could... In besting the coven, you have freed me!” He gives chase as he desperately pleads, “Wait... My love...” She bids him farewell from afar before mysteriously disappearing deep within the woods.

The narration guides, “Frantically following, he plunges into the forest... And stops, numbed, as his gaze fastens on an image, fixed to a tree, shimmering in the light of a moon that has just risen...” He stares in a horrified realization before collapsing in front of the portrait painting of her and covering his face with his hands as he weeps. Recognizing the painting as the victim the coven sacrificed over two hundred years ago and that he has fallen in love with a ghost. The night is quiet and the Batman is heartbroken once again. END ID]

sorry im comic posting so much lately. last little thing(for now). I’ve seen multiple articles and people complaining that the Sarcophagus is a retcon because Fenris tells us in DA2 that the lyrium was carved into his flesh. Which is true. But the comic never contradicts this? In fact, it just expands on it a little. 

It was still carved into him. With magic. because this is Tevinter why would it not be magic. Literally it is not being retconned this is not a discrepancy as far as i can tell.

#sorry i've been going over the comic again today because i'd like to get back into drawing regularly #and i plan to do a couple panel redraws for practice #but this one is a complaint i've seen Often because people see the Sarcophagus and jump to it being a recton because of the 'carving' thing #Fenris literally never tells us HOW it was done in game. and good on him he doesn't need to share that information with hawke #He only mentions it here because its important. and even then he recalls little of it or what spells were used.

I made the poor decision to watch the new Night at the Museum movie and can someone explain to me why Ahkmenrah just. doesn’t exist anymore.

#they literally show his sarcophagus multiple times but never mention him and I’m so confused #night at the museum

Meet Chesisi! The sah of an ancient Egyptian prince, his heart was incorrectly removed during the process of his mummification. Unable to enter the Duat without his heart, Chesisi's soul was left to inhabit his body for the next several thousand years.

How DID you get a wifi signal in the sarcophagus of forever sleep? How are you posting from there?

Not exactly sure. I feel like it's a mixture of things. The Sarcophagus sleep function not working as intended but still attempting to do its job, combined with the increased presence of technology thanks to Technus and Phantom's allies. It may have also been affected by my desire for freedom.

I don't use key boards, as there is no room for movement in here. I think and the words appear.

Ectoplasm tends to take the liquid form and based on what I have read online, wifi is just radio waves. Waves travel through liquid very well.

Probably not right, I'm new to all of this technology. I spent half of the time with this wifi connection looking at funny images. Have you seen this one? It is my favorite.

These two cats. Amazing.

Out of curiousity, do you think most national museums are participating in the same kind of thing that the British Museum is, i.e. holding onto items that they stole in conquest / archaeological items that other nations are requesting back?

I always wonder if we should be looking at the bigger picture rather than just this one spotlighted issue (not that the spotlight isn't important in raising the issue originally).

oh goodie we're digging up stuff I wrote from 2 years ago...yay

Okay, for starters, let's look at how you've phrased your question. Currently, the heavy implication is that this is all the BM is (i.e. it only holds colonial loot and contested items), which is false. Yes, it does hold colonial loot from the British Empire. No one is disputing that. It also holds contested items such as the Parthenon Marbles and the Rosetta Stone. What it also holds are many items taken from digs where the country in question permitted them taking them, and then also gifts and other such non colonial requisitions.

Mostly, I need to stress, because as someone who's adjacent to museums this drives me insane: Framing all museum collections as Bad and only containing Bad Items from Bad Deeds doesn't give you the full picture and if you don't have the full picture you can't really address the issue of repatriation properly. It's the classic 'All or Nothing' mentality and I'm begging people to seek nuance on complex topics such as this. Also governments suck and so hearing repeated 'well museums suck because XYZ' means they're more than happy to simply defund them, which they already are doing and that's not helping stuff like repatriation either.

In short, if you're asking does any other museum have a law like BM63 (I wrote 68 in the post because...I'm bad at numbers)? Not as far as I'm aware, no. The BM is unique in that instance where the government literally created a law to prevent it from divesting of its collection.

Do other national museums hold colonial looted artefacts and contested items? Yes. Lots of them. All over the world.

Germany's Neues Museum holds the bust of Nefertiti, which is contested.

The Louvre in Paris has multiple Italian artworks that were stolen in the 1790s that Italy wants back.

The Horses of St Mark's (in Venice) were stolen from Greece by Constantine in the 1200s. (Not really all that contested but they were definitely stolen).

Yale University holds numerous items from Machu Picchu. The 1911 dig had permission from the Peruvian Government, but the items were supposed to be returned. I believe (don't quote me) that less than half were originally. They have subsequently been returned, but this is not an uncommon story.

There's a bunch of Nazi looted artworks that are in museums that need to be returned to their rightful owners.

The MET museum in the US and everything it got from Douglas Latchford (this is ongoing, with some repatriations having already happened)

The National Museum of Australia also got caught out by that guy.

To be fair, the MET Museum has a problem with looted artefacts in general from the 70s onwards as they tried to compete with the European collections and thus ended up gaining a lot of 'not properly provenanced artefacts'. There was a gold sarcophagus they returned only recently that was looted from Egypt post-2011.

The Bible Museum in the US has...stuff it shouldn't (there's a lot and I'm not listing it).

*voice dripping with derision* Whatever the Hobby Lobby is up to

I could go on!

Focusing solely on the BM is a result of a US-Centric mindset, and a pervasive anglophone bias in things people will read. (Or in other words: It's fun to shit on the Brits and most of you only read English anyway.)

This has the unfortunate effect of making it seem like the BM is only museum in the world doing this, and they're not. Not in the slightest. Many museums, national or not, will have colonial looted items if that country has, at any time in the past, waged expansionist wars against other nations, no matter how brief. If your local museum has artefacts from Not Your Country there's a good chance they were looted! Again, I stress that many many artefacts that left places like Egypt were part of agreements with the Egyptian government (called partition agreements) whereby the Egyptian government took first pick of artefacts from a dig and then the dig organisers could take the rest. This hasn't happened since UNESCO World Heritage Convention 1975, which prohibits new artefacts from leaving countries which is also why I will bonk on the head with a cardboard tube anyone who says Archaeologists/Museums are still stealing things.

So yeah, if you're looking at repatriation, you'll be much better looking at the bigger picture and understanding how all this came to be in the first place than you'll ever be making memes about the BM stealing things on the internet.
