#Egyptian house

[egyptian-architecture]

The scene showing metal workers is part of a wall depicting different professions in the tomb of Rekhmire', vizier of Tuthmosis III and Amenophis II. Above, the fires are kept ablaze with foot-operated bellows; below, the men are casting bronze doors in a large mould. The inscription states that the bronze is brought from Asia, from the land of Retjenu. Atlas of Egyptian art. Page 119

The Exorcists’ Masks of Virtue

The vast majority of Exorcists in Hazbin Hotel have a notable design element that other angels don’t: their masks are missing an eye. Specifically, the right eye.

I believe this is a reference to the Bible, Matthew 5:29. Jesus says, “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”

He’s being hyperbolic. Mr Free Healthcare was not pro-mutilation. What he means is that you have to be willing to make sacrifices to prevent sin. The context of the eye metaphor is him condemning adultery and warning that even something as easy, casual and small as a look full of lustful intent can lead to further, worse sin if you don’t notice your sin, hold yourself accountable for it and do the work to not let it influence your decisions. This will probably be hard. It could be very, very painful. Changing your perspective can feel as horrible as plucking out your eye, so many people can’t bring themselves to do it. But although it won’t feel that way in the moment, it’s healthier for our general wellbeing in the long run to abandon traits and behaviours that damage ourselves and/or others.

(You may notice that Jesus’s teaching that you can have sinned, redeem yourself by giving up sin and thus escape damnation is the founding principle of the Hazbin Hotel. You may also notice that it contradicts everything the Exorcists believe.)

The Exorcists seem to follow this idea of painfully excising badness for the sake of the greater good devoutly to the point of placing it above teachings like ‘Thou shalt not kill’, with their job being to remove sin, in the form of sinners, to protect Heaven. Hence the missing right eyes. They’re a declaration of moral righteousness and inability to stumble.

But the truth is that the Exorcists all have their right eyes. Their flawlessness is a facade. Underneath, they are untouched, think themselves morally untouchable and, as shown by their horror and outrage when even one of them is killed, would much rather be physically untouchable too. This perfectly represents their complete unwillingness to acknowledge their own faults, let alone improve. They are never the ones who sacrifice. They force the sinners to sacrifice and don’t compensate it with any salvation. They metaphorically rip out the sinners’ eyes, but still condemn their entire bodies as inherently, permanently sinful. So they’ll just have to do another Extermination to get the other eyes! And another one to cut off their right hands! And so on until there’s nothing left.

The only exception to the rule is Vaggie, both in appearance and character. Her mask has the left eye crossed out instead. Even before her expulsion, she’s set apart to the audience as an Exorcist who has the capacity to, shall we say, see a different side of things. Her mask having its ‘sinful’ right eye reflects her understanding that the Exorcist worldview is wrong.

When she almost kills a demon child, her hateful vision clears. She discards the part of herself that’s an unquestioning, merciless agent of death, terror and grief… and as punishment for what Lute perceives as treacherous weakness, gets her eye plucked out.

Of course Lute leaves her with only the ‘sinful’ eye. It brands Vaggie forever as the inversion, a perversion, of what the Exorcists are meant to be.

You know, all this talk of eye removal in the Bible reminds of another line - ‘an eye for an eye’. Adam directly quotes it in “Hell is Forever”. He uses it to frame the Exterminations as Old Testament-style punitive justice; the sinners did harm and so they receive it. But putting aside the debate about how ethical the concept of revenge is, the entire point of taking an eye for an eye is that it’s proportional. The punishment fits the crime. If someone cuts your eye out, you shouldn’t murder their whole family in front of them and then slowly disembowel them to death. That would be the sin of wrath. You should just make them pay without excessive pain or collateral damage. This is the fairest form of revenge.

The Exorcists don’t do that! The Exterminations aren’t proportional to the wrongs of all they hurt, nor was Vaggie’s brutal punishment equivalent to her extremely mild insubordination. Lute literally takes Vaggie’s eye, and more, after Vaggie does nothing to her! That’s the opposite of the phrase! Adam and his soldiers are wrathful and cruel, deriving satisfaction from others’ suffering. But they just can’t stop going on and on about how disgustingly evil the sinners are, in total hypocrisy… despite some of the sinners being far better people than the genocidal Exorcists are… it’s like they’re obsessed with specks of dust in the sinners’ eyes when they have massive logs stuck in their own. Oh hey, that’s in the Bible too!

ANUBIS

Guardian of the tombs. God of death, Master of the Necropolis and patron of mummification and embalming. Osiris and him supervised the ceremony of the weight of the heart, that decided if the deceased was allowed to go to the great beyond, or was otherwise devoured by the fearsome Ammyt.

nobody will ever understand the bond I have with house of anubis like idc that it's cringy or whatever that show is my entire childhood and it shaped me as a person I am today

[regrettable-username]

remember when netflix got the first season of house of anubis and for some reason everyone thought that meant there would be a super gritty riverdale-esque remake? and then people were arguing about whether or not it should be remade at all

anyway house of anubis is literally built out of remakes and I think it should happen again but this time as a kdrama

[thaliajoy-blog]

Anyway, I couldn't finish the previous WIP but I sure could finish this ! (It took so much time though 😩). First of this art project centering Targaryen female potential heirs & women of power : Daenerys Targaryen (III) - four of her for the price of one 🫶. Two portraits of her as a queen in Essos. Two slightly different styles for one iconic lady.

And two versions of the same portrait of her as a woman & a queen in Westeros. There's a miniature portrait of Aegon the Conqueror on her tiara.

Which do you fancy more ? 😙

au where when eddie becomes the new sibuna leader, he and fabian just end up in similar fabina situations, including the upclose hiding and slight flirting.

this would mean that fabian rutter managed to pull both the chosen one and the osirian.

helaegon isis/osiris parallels

In ancient Egyptian myth, the gods Isis and Osiris were brother and sister, but also husband and wife. This divine marriage wasn't uncommon in Egyptian beliefs. Osiris, a wise and benevolent god, ruled Egypt with his sister-wife Isis. They brought prosperity and order to the land. However, their envious brother Seth, the god of chaos and violence, desired the throne. He tricked Osiris into a beautiful chest, then slammed it shut and threw it into the Nile. Isis, overcome with grief, refused to let her love die. Using her powerful magic, she searched the Nile and meticulously reassembled Osiris's scattered body. With a spell and the help of other gods, she brought him back to life for a brief moment. In this borrowed time, Isis conceived their son, Horus, the falcon god. Though Osiris couldn't stay in the living world, Isis ensured his safe passage to the afterlife where he became the king of the underworld.

-

In my mind, Fire and Blood had a different ending - where both Helaena and Aegon save each other. What if, Aegon is overcome with regret and longing of all the things he could have done right before their son died, and tries to console Helaena in her grief and madness in his crippled state? What if, in his pain, rage, and grief, she overcomes her own demons to save him?

[ House of the Sun UPDATES - 28th February 2024 ]

House of the Sun 1st Anniversary!

It's been one year exactly since I first posted a vision of what this project could have been. Initially born as some sort of character design practice, it slowly took shape into a coherent plot that I ended up summarizing into a series of drawings and mini comics.

Of course, the project is far from being completed, as there are still so many stories and ideas I'd like to share and many other possibilities I'd like to explore myself. But for now, I can only express my gratitude to all the people who have been believing in this project, and who are still actively supporting me with their enthusiasm. I will never stress enough how grateful I am for this.

Hopefully, I'll be bringing more content this year, including the new comic parts I've been talking about. For now, I'm leaving this commemorative post I made mainly for myself, as some sort of self-motivation to improve and always do my best. I've always dreamed of making my own comic series and hopefully, this might be the first of a long series!

I made this one last December when I was listening about the roman punic wars while watching a beautiful sunset from my window and suddenly I thought of doom and prophecy and then this was just sitting here waiting for some colors. So here it is the dreamer herself, Daenys!!

[non-cannon]

Me coming up with new ways to say something has an ancient Egyptian aesthetic, but isn't necessarily authentic ancient Egyptian (in less words) for fic reasons: Egyptian looking, Egyptianized, Egyptian style, Egyptian version, Egyptiany...

Egypt no longer looks like a word.
