attack dogs shouldn't bite the hands that feed them

#vandermarston #john marston #dutch van der linde #rdr2 #red dead #artner #im finally making the decision to vandermarston post on main bc ive seen some other ppl actively making content for the rarepair #im excited !!! i wanna contribute !!!#obligatory disclaimer that ik dutch/john are unhealthy toxic yaoi etc etc but thats sort of the entire Point #the main storyline of rdr is about how dutch manipulates vulnerable people into following him and how he wields affection like a weapon #to coerce his followers into endangering themselves so he can protect himself and satiate his greed and his ego #and he canonically has groomed john into a life of crime that john spends the rest of his life struggling to break away from #so uhhhhhhh i think of vandermarston as a natural extension of themes present in the source text.#where its about power dynamics and cycles of regret and affection and manipulation.#my intention was to frame it like that in this art piece.#lately ive been drawing hand studies and ive gotten rlly into the idea of hands as a visual motif for control and power. like puppeteering #w this art im trying to focus on johns emotional turmoil with dutch as a shadowy powerful figure that stands above him.#yknow ?????#anyways. thats my rambling artist statement on it.#totally understand if this ship makes u uncomfortable (that is the Point) but i will be posting more about vm in the future.#feel free to blacklist the tag 'vandermarston' in advance of that #art #pardner posts #🤠

hythlodaeus be like "teehee I hope I can be of some use" *clean headshot* 😊

bitch they wanted you for the aether-centric governmental position I know you think your curmudgeony cunt husband is amazing but stop selling yourself short its a slippery slope to sacrificing yourself to make god smh

#final fantasy xiv #ffxiv #im glad ee3 confirmed hes downplaying his own abilities bc soooooo many people just take characters at their word in this game #im always curious as to how his esteem issues developed I dont think its as simple as 'society' bc hes pretty accomplished in the context o #said society they wanted him on the convocation! hes in charge of a whole bureau and that doesnt mean no one ever made him feel bad and we #know erichthonious got mocked though his situation is more actively extreme but the main example of something hyth cant do is transformatio #which is considered preposterous to do in front of others most of the time so it seems like it wouldn't matter too much. maybe its moreso #that he sees others as better and more deserving and is constantly comparing himself and seeing others be better at him in certain areas #started to develop those esteem issues #siren says #funny post which is a trap for my character musings anyways #hythlodaeus

how much evidence do we have for making the ahhiyawa-mycenaean connection?

Great question!

The answer is a bit complicated - it’s less a matter of “quantity” and moreso likelihood.

The question of whether or not Hittite references to Ahhiyawa are references to Mycenaean Greek palatial states is still a somewhat ongoing debate, and has been for about a century. For the purposes of this post I’m going to be referring back to two books I’ve read that give a pretty good rundown of the issue - The Ahhiyawa Texts (written by Beckman, Bryce, and Cline - three eminent scholars in studies around the Aegean & the Hittites) and The Cambridge Companion to the Aegean Bronze Age. These two books make use of a lot of previous scholarship that I recommend you check out as well, I’m just using them out of convenience here. In short, it’s a combination of both Hittite textual sources and ample archaeological evidence of Mycenaean interactions with Anatolia at this time.

On the matter of Hittite textual evidence, the connection is made based on linguistic grounds (Emil Forrer, as early as 1924, made a very hesitant suggestion that Ahhiyawa and Achaea sound incredibly similar) and deduction based on the limited geographic evidence provided by Hittite documents mentioning Ahhiyawa. Hawkins (1998) observed that the Hittites describe Ahhiyawa as “across the sea” from Assuwan territories (western Anatolia), a detail that simply cannot work if Ahhiyawa is located in Anatolia. Considering that Ahhiyawa is regularly discussed in conjunction with Hittite activities in the region, there is very little room for Ahhiyawa outside of Mycenaean Greek states (which are - barring the identification with Ahhiyawa - strikingly absent from Hittite sources). One Hittite king - Hattusili III - refers to an unnamed king of Ahhiyawa with the phrase “My Brother, the Great King, My Equal” - which is (in Late Bronze Age correspondence terms) putting this guy on the level of Egypt or Assyria, so it’s clear that the Hittites viewed Ahhiyawa as somewhat significant on the world stage.

The total absence of Mycenaeans from Hittite sources makes even less sense when considering archaeological evidence from the Late Bronze Age. Shipwrecks from this period (most notably, the Uluburun wreck which was most likely going west from Anatolia) point to ongoing trade between the Aegean, Anatolia, Egypt, and the Levant during the Late Bronze Age. Mycenaean pottery is also found frequently in western Anatolia (especially Miletus and Müskebi, which indicate the presence of Mycenaean cultural influence & burial practices). Mycenaean remains in Hittite territory itself are relatively sparse, but Tudhaliya IV also told the ruler of Amurru (another LBA state) to “let no ship of Ahhiyawa go to [Assyria],” and the Ahhiyawa regularly sheltered Anatolians fighting against the Hittites like Uhha-ziti during the reign of Mursili II, so it’s likely that the two regions weren’t exactly on great terms.

Personally, I think that the introduction to The Ahhiyawa Texts sums the issue up pretty well - “If the Mycenaeans are not the Ahhiyawans, then they are never mentioned by the Hittites. This, though, seems unlikely…. otherwise, we would have, on the one hand, an important Late Bronze Age culture not mentioned elsewhere in the Hittite texts (the Mycenaeans) and, on the other hand, an important textually attested Late Bronze Age “state” without archaeological remains (Ahhiyawa).” Alternative theories regarding Ahhiyawa's identification can't really account for this discrepancy, and there's been a gradual lack of dissent to the identification because it's simply the most likely option.

What Ahhiyawa constituted politically speaking, however, is an entirely separate can of worms that I will not touch with a ten-foot pole.

#you could not PAY me to ID an 'ahhiyawan state' on a map. i refuse. im using the word 'state' and 'territory' VERY liberally here #anyways unless someone can come up with a somehow MORE LIKELY option than 'its those guys. that theyre trading with. who have big palace'#achaea is probably gonna stay the main identification for ahhiyawa. probably. despite steiner's best efforts #important context to hittite diplomacy btw: beckman describes them in 'Hittite Diplomatic Texts' as INCREDIBLY paranoid #you were either with them... or you were their enemy... and. well. western anatolian states were Not Often with them #this also kinda requires a standard disclaimer on all hittite texts: theyre trying to conquer arzawa/assuwa. and very vague abt whats there #so like every scholar on hittite activities in the region has to play regional geography 'guess who' based on context clues #it helps MASSIVELY that some king of mira (tarkasnawa) left an inscription going THIS IS MY BORDER GUYS!!!#it didnt get translated until the 90s though because it got er eroded. but we appreciate u tarkasnawa that is indeed ur border #tagamemnon #the ahhiyawa question #late bronze age

Thinking about my old pkmn ask blog

#I’m not really active in the community anymore but more because I grew away from it #I think about coming back a lot but Im not really sure what id do lol. I mean I think my storytelling and writing #skills have somewhat improved. but i still really really suck at making endings #although maybe I could make it like something that resolves the main problem and then just open for any interactions..#….fuck. I’m actually considering it now. I love impulsiveness 🧍#ugh but the other problem was that I would slowly stop updating as the dopamine slowed down and then just abandoned it altogether #multiple times in fact. since I’m the one making the content and not consuming it eeeuuhhgggghuhuhhhhhhh #this lil guy was supposed to have a story around his estranged family and his own problem with identity. I think I could still pick it up #i suck at writing edgy aloof dialogue so it always felt a little stilted or off when I wrote his dialogue. but I love him #myart #my art #oc #pokemon ask blog #pokeask #moss eevee #pokemon

Sylus reclaiming Little Bomb as a teasing nickname...

#i cant stop thinking about the n109 zone lol #it used to slightly bother me that we never see MC struggle with the idea of killing or feel burdened by it #bc even Caleb seems to see it as a burden hes taken on to protect MC and make sure MC doesnt have to be the monster #but MC just thrives naturally and adapts to criminal activity with Sylus #she very easily early on promises to keep anything he shares with her a secret and feels entitled to being essentially his partner #and listen she shoots so much with him and sure self defense but lets be real Sylus goes hunting for these guys and MC is down to support #idk its almost more charming for her to not be burdened by it. like a flaw that shows shes not maybe human by the definition of your average #Linkon citizen lol. even the researchers didnt know if she should be treated as a person or an object/resource #Dimitris life purpose at the end was to try to essentially banish MC back out into the void of space #anyway. Sylus is so gentle with MC while also not sheltering her. when he said theyre the same he means he believes that literally #if Sylus is a monster then so is MC. and thats okay. He wants her to just do and be whatever she wants and he'll adapt to it for her #he is STILL feeding her soul 100000% altho i guess for Sylus its like: OUR SOUL.#mc cosmic horror am I human existential drama vibes #its interesting to me now that MC isnt struggling with the weight of consequence for killing or breaking laws #mcs desires come first to her #and ofc shes still a hunter who wants to save people #but her motivation was power and security. she never wanted to be prey again.#and Sylus in main story seems to be the foundation of her power and harnessing it story wise #im curious where theyll go with MCs evol #personal posting #love and deepspace spoilers #mostly because im a tag ranter im not even done with the zayne stuff yet #i assume next we'll push into more Xav and Raf?? hoping for it Im dying for connections to Ever being aware and studying other stuff #I did have to reframe my perspective on the timeline a few times here... i assumed stuff in some of the cards had already happening along #the main story #but the vibes are off for a lot of it Main Story Sylus and MC have not done nightly rendezvous yet for sure?#good for caleb lol 😅#just when I was starting to accept I maybe felt Caleb was better for MC this life they hit with more lore #and now im back on endgame Sylus sorry Caleb bb I'll still be invested in your story and content #I'm glad i went through the main story again before I played the new stuff

thinking abt the veilguard companions and sighing heavily

#they have no personality outside of the things they need help with. they are not their own people #they are tools for a force narrative about...fear and regret i guess? but like. ok...who are these people though #you dont actually get to KNOW them unless you bother to walk around the lighthouse and peep into their notes and journals #insane. i cant ask you questions about your life before joining my cause? about your family or upbringing?#i have to eavesdrop on ambient conversation to be able to learn about you? give me a freaking break #i constantly flip flop between a show-dont-tell and TELL ME MORE because this game cant make up its own freaking mind #it overexplains itself CONSTANTLY during the main quest and then when it comes to the NPCs it hardly explains anything #unless you actively seek it out. or you dont blight minrathous.#''but you had to seek out companions in the past games!!!'' yeah. because you could actually TALK TO THEM.#you cant TALK to anyone in this game.#someone in the anti veilguard community put it best: theyre just dolls you pick up and play with on occasion. they have no real agency #literally. they have NO control over their own narratives. YOU are the deciding factor on everything they do.#''but this is true for every NPC in every dragon age!!'' can you not use your brain critically for even a moment.#the NPCs in previous games actually felt like people. when they asked for your help it was because you EARNED the right to participate #through talking to them and asking questions and building rapport and giving them gifts.#these characters trauma dump on you the moment you meet them. there is no building of anything. its all just vomited onto you immediately #bellara talking about cyrian in her first companion quest for example...like girl .#stupid worthless dialogue wheels that dont ever change the outcome of a conversation. the illusion of choice. all of it. im so angry.
