[chaotic-archaeologist]

hi! i'm not sure how exactly to word what i'm asking so i'll just explain what i've been thinking about lately. i'm currently in grad school for archaeology and ive just always had so much interest in classical history and i'd really love to do some excavation work in italy one day, but at the same time i'm feeling a sense of guilt because i come from a country where archaeology has only recently started picking up and there is still so much history that is yet to be uncovered and studied and talked about, especially when it comes to our pre-colonial period! i feel like i have a moral obligation to stay here and help in finding out everything i can about my own country's history, and of course i do genuinely want to do that, but i also feel that guilt because i know that it's not where i see myself devoting my career to and because i know it wouldn't make me as happy if i settled. i reaaaaaally really want to excavate elsewhere but i feel like that just makes me another scientist who doesn't love their country enough and would rather hop over to study history's most famous colonisers (i know that that's really not the case but sometimes it feels like it to me and then i start questioning myself...)

Okay, here's the thing: it's okay to be a little bit selfish. Your life is yours, and that's also true for your research.

For a long time I was split between becoming a Jewish studies scholar and a Civil War scholar. I was getting a lot of pressure from my community to go the Jewish studies route, which is understandable. Spoiler alert: that's not the path I took.

I chose to study the Civil War because that's where my passion is, and I think I can make a more meaningful contribution to society in the long term by choosing to focus on an interest I can sustain. And... I didn't feel like I had a lot of original ideas that I could contribute to Jewish studies because it wasn't what I spent my time thinking about.

This applies to a lot of other things, particularly activism. An activist who has burned themselves out to the extent where they can't organize anymore isn't doing anyone (or themself) any good. What you want matters. It's okay if those wants don't always align 100% with what other people want from you.

Another thing: X cultural concept doesn't always have to be applied to a limited range of subjects. I bring a very different mindset to studying the Civil War because I come from a unique background. You can bring a fresh viewpoint to Classics because you've had very different experiences than many other Classics scholars. And really, isn't promoting Jewish/anti-colonial scholarship outside of those disciplines furthering their cause?

Finally, it doesn't have to be either/or! Three years after deciding to become a Civil War scholar, I applied to be a TA for a Judaic Studies class. I'm really excited to help a bunch of students learn about Jewish history and culture, and part of that excitement exists because I'm not forcing myself to do it all the time. Who says that you can't go on a dig in Italy and then come home and help your country recover its pre-colonial heritage?

Do both. By all means, apply to go on a dig overseas! Take a class in the Classics department just for your enjoyment. At the same time, stay involved with your culture and its archaeology. Follow the opportunities that feel right to you. You deserve to be happy.

i feel like if i read one more “crowley and aziraphale don’t exist without each other💔” take i’m gonna start biting people

those are two 6000+ year old human-shaped creatures who used to spend years — decades, centuries even — without meeting each other throughout history. and they stayed functional, doing their shitty jobs, discovering things about the world and themselves, meeting people, changing and growing with humanity. they have their own lives, personalities, and hobbies. they’re individuals who are not put on hold when separated

and still, having their own lives, they decide to come back to each other. to go out for a dinner or share a nice bottle of wine. they are happy to spend time together. not because they are nonexistent on their own but because they choose to share their lives

isn’t that what love is about? choosing to come back? to be together?

#good omens critical #‘elaborate on that’ no. no i won’t. #I think I'm getting really insufferable #might even deserve to be bullied for this one #but honestly #codependency is just not sexy #making a decision to be together on the other hand fucking slays #p.s. #you don’t know how many times i sat down to write this and thank god you don’t #you also don’t know how many versions of this post i have in my drafts #и слава богу. это останется между мной и господом.

I honestly want all the people that hate on L for his tactics to speak up and let us all know how they would've proceeded, 'cause I'm curious to understand how they think of being able to catch a serial killer that can kill inmates at distance by being 100% a little goody two-shoes.

#!! I'm not talking about the way he restricted Misa !! #I'm talking about deceiving - lying - manipulating #or him putting cameras in Light's house (btw with Soichiro's consent at the end of the day) and so on #like #considering that most police officers usually don't even tell suspects that they are suspects #or let them actively participating in the investigations #he... was a dumbass imo but he let Light be part of it like a stupid little bitch #(sorry but I think keeping him at more distance would've been better but oh well I wasn't there) #p.s. #you don't even know that he needs a face and a name #because you can't use the Lind. L. Taylor tactic. #and you don't even know that he's in Kanto #death note #l lawliet #dn.L #not to be an asshole or something but I think it's time to start reading actions in context yk

Ziva, how well do you think Toastymarshmellow (who sang in this song as Amanda) would fit Ravin as her voice?

I actually imagine Ravin having an autotune natural voice like Guy Diamond. 😅 But her autotune doesn't sound like his that's... I dunno what to call it — stereotypical autotune? skjdjdj — and is more like just high pitched vocals (especially when Ravin gets loud or excited). I don't know the proper words to describe it so I looked up a few happy hardcore songs for help.. I imagine her sounding a lot like the singer (and the autotune/distortion) in this song:

#hope this was of any help #i really suck at trying to explain anything related to vocals or music #if ravin was a human irl she would watch a lot of anime and she would talk like those annoying stereotypical anime girls sksjdsjsdjd #answered #trolls #ravin #happy hardcore #every time i look at happy hardcore music videos for too long my eyes start to hurt #can't listen to this genre of music for very long either even though i do find it fascinating. like observing a bug in a jar #P.S. #(Eddy M also has natural autotune but it comes out less often (mostly just when he sings) #his voice (and distortion) are just like how the singer in Breathe Carolina's Blackout sounds) #:)

been getting into toki pona recently. and i'm not great with all the grammar yet. but i am really a big fan of the whole concept. i like rephrasing complex ideas through the most basic of concepts and i love translating idioms into. not idioms. 'when night falls' -- > 'if the sun dies' delights me. its like a puzzle and that's what delights me. i don't think i'd enjoy speaking it casually but reading and translating are super fun. the same kind of entertaining as a jigsaw puzzle. but there's also a level of philosophy involved. with redefining complex feelings. tldr. robot girl with robot brain likes puzzles too much. so nothing new. all of this is to say. i'd like to be acquainted with all the tokiponists out here because y'all seem super cool.

#txt #blogging tag #xenogender #robogirl #toki pona #p.s. #if you're a frequent poster on toki pona tumblr and recently had posts liked by a holographic pfp. that's my main. thanks 4 the posts. #thought of making a proper intro into the community but. i don't wanna be too proper about this. it really is just a casual interest. #besides. i'm struggling with headnouns. because there's so many phrases out there for robot but i don't. like any of them. not so far. #i've thought about like. meli maybe. but i don't wanna come off. gender essentialist. with a language made to de-emphasize gender. #i'm not a person but i am something feminine in presentation. is what i'm trying to get at. but i'm not sure that would come through. #also. tokiponizing is a pain and that's the other half of this process. because my pseudonyms r all based off charas i'm very attached to. #and there's no way to translate without losing the reference and that feels wrong. but leaving the name untranslated also feels wrong. so. #i'm letting people call me whatever they want for now. outsourcing.

The title says it.

ORIGIN STORY TIME!!

Thanks to the recent hype, I'm being reabsorbed into the Blue Lock franchise/fandom. My sleep schedule has shifted back from 12:00AM to 3:00AM. I've been high off of endorphins reading the official paperbacks, and now hangovers are whooping my gluteus maximus. ;-;

Anyway, it all starts with my love for ma boi, Nagi. I read this series back in 2020 or 2021, and to this day, one of my favorite scenes is the one where he scores the first goal at the U-20 match. So, naturally, I wanted to set my new phone wallpaper as that!

30 minutes of Googling, Binging, and Pinteresting... nothing.

How?

IDK.

With no satisfactory wallpaper, I looked at my drawing tablet and thought, Well, fak it. Imma do it myself. *inserts Thanos meme*

And that's how the nightmare started. :D

I find my references, and BAM. Sketch done. Pretty EZ cuz I had a solid vision in mind already.

A quick greyscale filling and dramatic eye color.... and I was done!

But on hon hon! YOU FOOL!

Curled like a shrimp, I stared at my new lockscreen. (Maybe this is a lesson for me to never stare at my art for more than 5 minutes.) Strangely, I felt a churn of dissatisfaction (or midnight hunger).

Maybe I should add some more saturation.

Maybe I should try...

Adding the background?

And so, after two days of trying to draw grass and people instead of seeing their 3D counterparts (JK, I still had to go to work and utilize my vernacular amongst those fleshy beings)... I finally finished.

OK. Maybe not finished finished...

Who am I kidding? Give me another three minutes to stare at my new lock screen and I'll probably start learning Blender to 3D animate my wallpaper or background or smth.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. UwU

*Yoinks you into a chokehold*

Who's your favorite Blue Lock character(s)? :D

#blue lock #ma boi #nagi seishiro #im dying #let's pretend anatomy does exist #can't we just make the world a void that we just exist in? #is this what Thanos felt when he finally snapped dem fingers? #p.s. #kudos to my comrade matoos for finding the scene that I was talking about so I could draw the stadium; you da man. ;D #I've now looked at my wallpaper for 30 sec straight... IDK if anyone can tell that that thing that I drew was a goal post... #Ugh.
