today’s affirmations for the contaminated:
you are not a person of honor
you have not been commemorated for a highly esteemed deed
you are dangerous and repulsive to us
you are in a particular location… increasing toward the center… you are the center of danger… of a particular size and shape, and below us
your danger is still present, in their time, as it was in ours
your danger is to the body, and it can kill
the form of your danger is an emanation of energy
your danger is only unleashed when substantially disturbed physically
you are best left shunned and uninhabited <3

So I've seen several art pieces playing with the long-term nuclear waste warning messages, and it gets me thinking.
There's like, at least five to six languages mentioned in totk, right? There's Hylian, ancient Hylian, ancient Sheikah, ancient Zonai, the Zora script, and possibly an ancient Gerudo language. It's safe to bet there's probably also one each for Goron and Rito. We also sees a lot of the storyline revolves around translating ancient texts, and a lot of researchers dedicated to this.
What if there is a Hyrule version of the Rosetta stone? In the form of these long-term nuclear waste warning messages. Like imagine these messages carved into those pillars that rise up around the castle in botw. Not just in Sheikah but also ancient Hylian and the long lost Zonai, and the ancient language of the other four races? What if that's how they figure out the Zonai language despite not much record of it is known even before the calamity strikes?
I just think it's a very interesting idea. Imagine the pillars are absolutely covered in repeating texts of varying font and sizes. The direction the text goes in is different for each language, but they all repeats the same message. Again and again, warning off the future generations from this place of ancient evil. As Link and Zelda went into the cavern deep under Hyrule castle, they saw these same messages carved into walls and framing the murals that tells of the birth of the demon king. The text gains length once they went beyond the old castle tunnels, not just warning against a danger but also warning against disturbing this place that seals the danger. They have no choice but to proceed though, because it seems like the seal is already disturbed enough to let the gloom leak out. So deeper they went, despite the walls warning them against it every step they take.
(It's also fitting for the theory that the Sheikah is drawing energy from Ganondorf's mummy corpse and using it to fuel Sheikah tech. But Ganondorf the nuclear power plant is a topic for another day.)
Also here's how I imagine the text is divided. since the original one in full is a bit weird when they also build an entire castle on top.
The section above ground on the pillars:
This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The additional bits once they went underground:
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

[Part 1] [part 2]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Two pictures and a gif of a handmade disk-shaped ornament. It's bright yellow with a black radiation symbol and a cyan string. The first picture showcases the symbol's design. The second one shows its side, where the text "this place is" is partially visible. The gif shows the ornament being rotated to show the text on its side, it say "this place is not a place of honor". /End ID]
Woooo it's finished! I actually finished it a few days ago but procrastinated on making the gif. Oops.
I'm really proud of it, it turned out way neater that I expected. I think the text makes it look like film in a menacing way kinda. I know that makes no sense. Trust me on this one ok.
Uhh anything else to say? Uh the string isn't all that visible and that kinda sucks because the colors go well together and most importantly Cherenkov radiation!!!! But oh well

I'm sincerely fascinated by everything related to long term nuclear waste storage warning systems. Like if they made merch I'd be SO hyped up about it.
Like if they made a funko pop like this:

i'd buy it

sometimes I think the tumblr echo chamber doesn’t apply to me but then I remember that the average person doesn’t have the 1993 long term nuclear waste warning message memorized

Thanks to the Wikipedia article on Long-term nuclear waste warning messages, lots of people know the "THIS PLACE IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR" quote, but it occurred to me to look up the original document that it comes from, the 1993 report "Expert judgment on markers to deter inadvertent human intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant," by Trauth, Hora, & Guzowski of Sandia National Laboratories... and the whole thing is pretty fascinating.
Specifically, the famous quote and the pages above all come from the sub-report by "Team A," consisting of Dieter G. Ast (Cornell University), Michael Brill (Buffalo Organization for Social and Technological Innovation), Maureen F. Kaplan (Eastern Research Group), Ward H. Goodenough (University of Pennsylvania), Frederick J. Newmeyer (University of Washington), and Woodruff T. Sullivan, III (University of Washington). "Team B," I was surprised to notice, included astronomer Frank Drake (creator of the Drake Equation for estimating the changes of contacting extraterrestrial life).
The diagrams of possible construction options look a little bit like architectural plans, but also quite a bit like Dungeons & Dragons environment designs... and perhaps like the ruined architecture of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
