I think this scene is similar to Orpheus going to the underworld to get his dead lover back. He's not supposed to look back or else she can't get out. But Orpheus glances back because he can't hear her footsteps. He just wanted to make sure she was still following, but now everything is ruined.

In Arthur and Uther's case - who wouldn't want to have one last look at someone they love, before leaving?

I think this scene was about Arthur's love betraying him.

what if uther told arthur he loved him because he knew it would make arthur turn around and thus release uther’s spirit back to the living

or that by skipping the process and immediately reaching the goal does you more harm than good

(no one understands why ppl die when going to the Moon because no one needed to explore the space first, step by step)

on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport the first person on the moon went there by accident and promptly died. The next dozen or so people also went by accident, and also died. Number 14 figured out that people who go to the moon die and very cleverly brought a sword and six weeks of travel rations. This did not help.

No one on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport ever figured out why people die in space because they don’t need airplanes and never found it particularly interesting to climb tall mountains. Astronomers use telescopes to take pictures of the ever-growing pile of corpses on the moon.

Venus, Cupid and Ceres

Artist: Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem (Dutch, 1562–1638)

Date: 1604

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

A newly discovered work by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, this colorful painting interprets the ancient witticism, “Without food and drink, love grows cold.” Venus, Roman goddess of love, is joined by Cupid and Ceres, goddess of grain; Bacchus, god of wine, is present symbolically through the grapes. The supple, translucent flesh demonstrates the interest in naturalism that blossomed in Northern Europe in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, which led artists to work increasingly “from life,” that is, from observation of models.

Perseus and Andromeda

Artist: After Reni, Jeremiah Davison (British, c.1695-1745)

Date: 1723-1745

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Trust Collections, London, United Kingdom

Description

Perseus arrives just in time on his winged white horse, Pegasus, to rescue Andromeda, daughter of an Ethopian king, from a sea monster that looms behind the rock she is chained to with its jaws open.

The scene depicted is an episode from the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses IV, 783-960. This painting, like the copy in the National Gallery, London (in the Royal Collection between 1723 - 1836), is after the original painting by Guido Reni, of 1635-6, in Palazzo Rospigliosi-Pallavicini, Rome.

Joining this conversation as a Finnish person because ???? Celsius makes more sense, in Finland at least. When it's winter and -25°C cold outside, how do you even convert that into Fahrenheits? If 0° is about -18°C should I be using negative Fahrenheits to drop the temperature...?? And use the same logic we already use in the Celsius system?? Or should I say "it's below 0°" - but how much below? The coldness bites differently depending on if it's -19°C or -22°C even if it's almost the same

Also when driving it's handy to see when the temperature drops beneath 0°C on an autumn evening bc then there's probably black ice you won't typically see with bare eyes

And when planting stuff on spring you gotta check that the temperature isn't below 0°C during the nights bc u know, the water freezes and your plant will most likely die

So... Celsius is simple and handy

absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc they’re so caught up with the “silly americans refuse to convert to metric” gag
