That's two... and I meant to see if at least a third one would come in, but fuck it, I want to talk about the aye-aye.

This is an aye-aye. (A baby, to be exact; her name is Melisandre.)

If you just said "what the fuck is this", congratulations, you have contributed to one of the theories as to what its name means. (Apparently it's either a cry of astonishment; or "I don't know", or "we do not speak of this") If you want a name that's more informative, it's also called "long-fingered lemur".

And yes, it's a real animal, as i discovered to my shock while reading a book by Eva Ibbotson a few years after reading Physik. It's essentially a small primate that looks like a rodent and works like a woodpecker. (Though, please keep in mind, I am not well-versed in biology, and mostly got this off Wikipedia.)

Most of the pictures I could find of them look like when you suddenly turn the lights on on someone who was trying to sneak to the refridgerator in the middle of the night; probably because that's exactly what's happening here - they're nocturnal. They're also endangered and live exclusively in Madagascar, which means -

yeah. You probably have seen an aye-aye before.

Anyway, as you might see, they do not actually have a needle-like tooth, with which they spread a Sicknesse that can only be cured by the ancient art of Alchemie,

but they do have. Fingers.

Like, fascinatingly freaky fingers.

First of all, they technically have six of them, having developed a "pseudothumb" (and being the first primate discovered to have one!) Then there's the third finger, which is super thin: It's used to knock on wood to find hollow spots, which the aye-aye then chews open to fish out grubs using the fourth, long finger. In fact, those fingers are so specialized for "percussive foraging" that they're not even particularly good for moving about anymore - accordning to this article it looks "like a strange lemur walking on spiders". Which, wow.

I can't tell you why Angie Sage decided to add an endangered madagascar lemur into her story about future (?) fantasy England, nor why she added a tooth when it already has perfectly fascinating appendages... which is not to mention the fact that she continuously describes its tail as "snakelike" or "ratlike", when really it looks more like that of a squirrel.

But if you want to know why she used it for a narrative that hits a little too close to home during Covid, I direct you to the "folk belief" section:

The aye-aye is often viewed as a harbinger of evil and death and killed on sight. Others believe, if one points its narrowest finger at someone, they are marked for death. Some say that the appearance of an aye-aye in a village predicts the death of a villager, and the only way to prevent this is to kill it. The Sakalava people go so far as to claim aye-ayes sneak into houses through the thatched roofs and murder the sleeping occupants by using their middle fingers to puncture their victims' aorta.

On a slightly more positive (?) note, the German page states that "the aye-aye will make a pillow of grass for every human who sleeps in the forest", which is a good thing when found under your head and a bad thing when found beneath your feet; and that you actually shouldn't kill an aye-aye, lest you die within the year.

Either way an absolute creature which I might adore now; but possibly not one you want to come across in the middle of the night.

The problem with my completionist brain is that I ducked up at the beginning of the chapter and didn’t speak to two TWO npc’s but if I want to get all the missions I have to speak to the Npcs and accordning to the Google machine this game doesn’t have chapter select unlike ff7 AND I saved over the start of this chapter like an idiot.

What I’m saying is I just wasted like over an hour of progress and now gotta go all the way back to the rhythm game I failed earlier

cameras changed the way historians conduct their research.

Before there were cameras, history was captured by the use of paintings, sculptures, writings such as scripts or scrolls, and basically anything that was seen as an artifact that gives information to us based off the past. 

However, ever since the first camera was made, the daguerreotype, the way history was portrayed and captured has completely changed. Even though we are still continuosuly finding hiscotical things from the past, the camera changed it all ultimatly for the future. 

accordning to IEEE Spectrum and online news resoucre, “ In the last 45 years, Sasson took his first digital picture, digital cameras were brought into the mainstream and then embedded into another pivotal technology—the cellphone and then the smartphone—and people began taking photos with abandon, for any and every reason. And in the last 25 years, historians went from thinking that looking at a photograph within the past year was a significant marker of engagement with the past to themselves compiling gigabytes of archival images in pursuit of their research” (Marsh 2020). Meaning that all these photos taken fit into the historical narrative. This evidence is important because it tells you that the use of the camera has affected how historicans conduct their reserach now compared to how they did back then.
