Jade mask depicting Maya storm god unearthed in royal tomb in Guatemala

Archaeologists have discovered a 1,700-year-old royal tomb in Guatemala that's overflowing with funeral offerings, including an intricately designed jade mask depicting a Maya deity.

The tomb, which is located at an archaeological site known as Chochkitam near the borders of what are now Mexico and Belize, was the burial site for a previously unknown Maya king, according to a statement from Tulane University.

Along with the mosaic mask designed to resemble the Maya storm god, researchers found 16 mollusk shells and hieroglyphs carved into human femurs (thigh bones), including one drawing depicting a man holding a jade mask similar to the artifact tucked inside the tomb. Researchers think the hieroglyphs identify the king's father and grandfather and serve as a link to the ruler of the Maya states of Tikal and Teotihuacan. Read more.

been thinking about how jade might mourn the fact she absorbed jadesprite because now shes living the memories of someone she never was but will always be

#does she mourn the people wholl shell only ever meet in her memories late at night? does she mourn that theyll never see her/jadesprite agai #again #does she live with guilt that she took away their friend with no explanation #they dont even know #jade harley #jadesprite #homestuck

It felt weird, being back home. Being in your bedroom, the one that had all your personal belongings. Your clothes. Your memories. You were back, no longer in Twisted Wonderland, which you dared not share with anyone else save they question you, or worse off, it wasn’t real. But it was real, the photos showed that much. Photos of your friends. Photos of all of the different events. Photos of the man that had captured your heart. A coy smile, a glint in his mismatched eyes, and hands that would gently hold yours. You missed Twisted Wonderland, you missed Jade.

You looked towards the window, seeing the faintest hints of the thin curve of the moon, and only the brightest stars being visible due to all the light. There was no magic… and everything seemed more dull without it. Of course, you would be struck with all these thoughts in the dead of night, with only the barking of the neighbour’s dog and the sound of far-off sirens keeping you company. It was no use staring out the window, or worse, the ceiling, and yearning for a place you couldn’t return to. So you got up and went to your desk, to look through the photos that still moved. That gave you bright smiles… that reminded you that your heart was elsewhere.

You stalled on the one photograph; it was a photo of Jade on a mountaintop, looking at you as the sun set behind him.

“Prefect, let me help you up. Are you alright, it seems like you tripped over something,” you heard his voice play in your head. The photo played on a loop, of him turning around and giving you a kind yet playful look. Of a perfect moment in time.

You didn’t even have time to give him a proper goodbye, having been sucked through a mirror suddenly; much like your sudden arrival. “I miss you,” you whispered. 

Closing the photo album gently, you went to the window. Nothing had changed since you left. All of your trinkets from over the years were still in their places. And you don’t really know what compelled you, but you picked up the small snail shell that you picked up from a shop, and you held it to your ear.

If you hold a shell to your ear, you’ll hear the ocean. So you listened, and while it did remind you of the crashing waves at the beach, it reminded you of Jade. Only once you get close enough could you hear them, telling you his thoughts only once you had earned his trust. Earned his respect.

“I find it humorous,” you heard him hum, “how my unique magic is Shock the Heart, yet with you, it feels like it has been cast on me.” 

You brought the shell to your lips. “Please, I just want to see him again. To hear him… please.” But the only thing that happened was a breeze coming through the window screen.

There was no magic, so wishes don’t come true here, especially not such large and impossible ones.

I should try to get some sleep… So you crawled back under the covers, clutching a pillow to your chest as you fell into a black, dreamless sleep. But after what felt like only a few short moments, you were jolted awake by the sound of the phone ringing. That’s weird, I usually keep it on silent… UGH, WHY IS IT SO LOUD?! It’s too early for this.

You blindly groped around for your phone, but once you had it in hand you realized it wasn’t the source of the ringing. You checked the landline, which was also not the source. The ringing wasn’t coming from either of the phones. “Where the hell is it coming from,” you muttered. “It’s too early for this!” The sun wasn’t even up yet!

But you found what was making the ruckus; it was the shell. That shouldn’t be possible. It can’t be possible. Shells don’t ring. There’s no magic here that could do that. But you picked it up, holding your breath.

“Hello?” It was Jade. By some miracle, the voice on the other side of the… shell? Phone? Shell phone? Was Jade.

You felt like your centre of gravity had shifted. “Jade,” you choked out.

You heard a soft exhale on the other side of the line. “After so many attempts, I finally found you.” For the first time, you heard so many emotions at once just in his voice. “We never got the chance, but, Prefe-... Y/N, I love you, and somehow, we will meet again.”

He feels the same. He… loves me. “I love you too.”

And the connection between shells never broke, and one day, the two of you shall meet again.

jade’s interactions with the titans could be so interesting because she really does open up a conversation about the ethics of recruiting and training children to be sidekicks and how that can impact their development and life choices down the line, especially when the mentor’s intentions are not fundamentally good. she and the titans (read: the fab five) are two sides of the same coin.

#💭 #jade nguyen #unfortunately this is not possible because afaik all dc characters are currently shells of themselves #and therefore no meaningful nuanced dialogue can happen because there’s no space for it #rather there’s nothing set up to engage in interesting conversations within the frames of the stories #also anytime jade gets brought up it’s usually to create some drama in roy’s new relationship #which really grinds my gears

it would have been simply hilarious if azul's bio dad really was eaten by his mom to stay true to real life octopuses but no twst just isn't brave enough to have the non humans behave non humanely 😔🤟 /hj though if they did this his mom would have died too and he would be an orphan 💔 orphaned AND bullied??? too many Ls for this babygirl I fear

He would take so many Ls if I wrote him more like the octopus in the sea. When I learned that both male (if he isn’t killed/eaten) and female octopus defend the eggs until their deaths, I felt so bad for Azul. He really is maidenless his entire life, finds a sweetheart to mate with, and then they both die. T_T 

Orphaned and bullied... AAAA NOOO :( that’s too many Ls for my babygirl Zuzu. He needs some Ws and a loving family in his life. But I really enjoy it when there are small details that suggest he’s not as human as he looks. 

#twisted chit chat #sometimes it's fun to think about the trio but in a setting where they were never introduced to human culture #and are therefore more animalistic and instinct-driven #azul and jade bringing their new human companion pretty shells and jewels from the sea floor #meanwhile floyd's gathering the skeletal remains of fishermen and offering them to you #they're like crows except one of the crows is a little disturbed and thinks body parts make for good courting gifts

fuck about it is genuinely the shittest song conceivable lol i dont even know what to say. you have become the most loathsome dime-a-goddamn-dozen mgk blackbear misogynistic white rapper to appeal to tiktok trends and it isnt even working.

i want you to look at these lyrics and HONESTLY tell me you think this is good writing, or something you came up with yourself, or how you actually feel. or actually, dont, because i dont think i can handle knowing the same person who used to write love songs aching with tenderness and emotional depth thinks this is his “best work ever”

#i hate you i hate you youre a jaded bitter nasty shell of your former self and EVERYTHING you do is a cash grab devoid of artistry #did you get the clicks? the tiktok trending sounds? the engagement? no you DIDNT did you? #neg

Time for something different and inspired me by own nephew back in 2016~ :3 Whenever he came round, he liked to watch a  show called 'Octonauts' (for those who don't know about it, click here -> octonauts.wikia.com/wiki/Octon…) and I sometimes watched it with him, when we were having dinner ^w^ It's really good show because it teaches children about the creatures of the sea and their natural habitats. The TV series is based on the American-Canadian children's books, written by Vicki Wong and Michael C. Murphy of Meomi Design Inc. So, being the mermaid and deer lover that I am, I thought, 'why not make a character of my own for the show out of two of my favourite things?' 0v0 And I did just that~ ;D This is 'Fawna' (get it? ;p) the Merdoe, who is one of the last remaining merdeer in the sea. They are gentle but cautious creatures, so you'd be very lucky to see one. Merdeer like to explore the seabed, where they watch over other sea creatures and craft their own pieces of jewellery. They can also swim pretty fast through the waves. This sweet young merdoe Fawna, upon hearing the exciting adventures of the Octonauts, decides to have a closer look at their home - the 'Octopod'. However, she gets pursued by a hungry, cunning bull shark and instantly caught in a tangle of seaweed. Luckily, overhearing the commotion, the Octonauts come to her rescue and the bull shark is fended off by Kwazii Cat (octonauts.wikia.com/wiki/Kwazi… my fave character in the show 💕 ^.^) The Octonauts help Fawna safely back to the Octopod, where they remove the tangled seaweed from her...only to find an actual mermaid's tail underneath, much to all of their surprise, especially Kwazii's for they believed that mercreatures only existed in stories and fairy tales...until now. Fawna stayed with the Octonauts for a few days to recover and grew very close to Kwazii, who visited and checked on her, before and after his missions. And feelings for one another began to develop~ Fawna is very grateful to the Octonauts and likes to visit them, and help them on their missions if needed. She also possesses a special shell bracelet with a pink pearl, which magically turns her tail into legs when out of water, and allows her to walk on dry land. She will instantly change back to her true merform when entering the water again. However, if Fawna takes off her bracelet, she'll remain or change back into a merdoe, no matter where she is (land or sea). Fawna can also help others see and breathe underwater. In the near future, she'll become a member of the Octonauts, one in-training~ I posted this cutie on my dA page, six years ago and she was so much fun to do in both forms~💖 Hope you all like too! 💞😄
