#!cannibalism

[mochinomnoms]

(TW for cannibalism, specifically necro cannibalism which is eating dead people)

So, victorians ate mummies (like the kind from Egypt) because it was believed that it was medicinal. Viewing dead bodies as having medicinal properties was a belief dating back to the middle ages, but practiced rather infrequently. However, at the height of the victorian obsession for Egypt (called Egyptomania), along with using mummies to produce an oil paint of the shade mummy brown, they were also eaten as medicine. Something a little less morbid, one guy allegedly found out how his tube of mummy brown paint was produced, and held a little funeral for it. The only reason these practices ended is because they literally ran out of mummies.

(This might become a daily thing, I have way too much to say and not enough people to say it to :( )

YEAH WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS IN MY ANTHRO CLASSES SINCE I WAS ON THE ARCHAEOLOGY TRACK IT'S FUCKING WILD

The BritishTM will never cease to frighten me, also funfact there is a rare parasitic disease that is only so rare BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY GET IT FROM EATING DEAD BODIES and also British Museums return the stolen artifacts to their home countries they're not yours to display, and I don't care if you're “preserving them” for future generations THOSE WERE NEVER YOURS TO DECIDE THAT RETURN THEM YOU CUNTS

And that goes for American historical museums with Native artifacts, GIVE THEM BACK some of those you straight up just took from Natives' yards and graves you asses

Anyways I have some very strong feelings about the historical museum industry and their workings (also go ahead i also have many thoughts all the time that I like to share)

My new headcanon is that Karens become Susans in Hell.

A 'post-trod' scenario where Narinder gets cursed after a slip up on a crusade (death erasure is no longer a permanent threat because of plot secrets I won't spoil :P )

The Lamb can't go get the necessary crystals to cure him so Kallamar is sent instead so Lambert can focus on keeping Nari from eating/attacking people

Dw he's not gonna eat the Lamb. unless😏

Just saw a video like "um actually rocky horror isn't good queer representation because frank sexually assaults janet" girl he kills and eats people. It's called the rocky HORROR picture show not the rocky cute gay rep tw t-slur picture show

*person has consented to being eaten; they’ve donated their body. they died without suffering. you can cook the meat. you will not get sick from the meat.

bonus: explain why!

Charlie now has two sets of parents. Good for her.

Look, if you're starving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and suddenly someone is like 'oh I have tons of food and it just happens to be meat do you want some lol' you CANNOT act surprised when it's people. You simply CANNOT.

[tubes-the-ann]

look, I'm asking the big questions here.

[awetfrog]

my party are starving when there are perfectly good ghouls around, are they stupid?

[mochinomnoms]

by rare disease, is it like, a prion one? Such as Kuru or whatnot, otherwise uh idk

(oop jumpscare)

Yes! I will say I think it's almost exclusive to the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea, as it was contracted via funeral cannibalism. I think they ate the brain of a person who had some sort of disease that developed into Kuru. I do believe it's been nearly eradicated as they no longer perform funeral cannibalism due to kuru and the last known case was between 2005-2009.

So they're probably not getting it from mummies BUT STILL THAT'S WEIRD TO EAT MUMMIES THE BRITISH DON'T EVEN HAVE AN EXCUSE

some Trod au Bishop Family warm up doodles + a lil chart about everyone's opinions on cannibalism. i should do a chart for everyone on all the doctrines tbh

[themetalhiro]

Someone else can deal with that.

"Oh no, this goofy monster virus mutates you into a gnarly beast with an insatiable hunger for human flesh" and then the goofy monster protagonist is able to master their cannibalistic impulses not because they have superhuman willpower or special genes, but because prior to being mutated they were the most repressed human being alive.
