Everybody Eats Someone: Western Han Biting Artifact

Gold belt buckle of Western Han dynasty. Unearthed from the tomb of King of Chu of on Lion Rock (獅子山), Xuzhou (徐州), Jiangsu.

This dramatic buckle consists of two rectangular gold belt plates and a gold tongue. On the reliefs, everybody is eating someone. The heraldic bears of the Xiong (熊) clan, a prolongation of the royal House of Mi (芈), are present. The Ye (葉) family Taoist lineage I’ve examined here is from the same clan and House.

The bear totem is still pertinent for those with surnames Mi (芈), Yan (酓 or 檿), Shen (沈), Xiong (熊), Ye (葉), Xiang (項), Qu (屈).

The heraldic elements in the form of images represent rather archaic practice. They were gradually supplanted in China by the designation of belonging through the surnames’ hieroglyphs of or mottos.

On display in the Xuzhou Museum (徐州博物館).

off the top of your head what's ur favorite karamatsu fit, not from an au but from like a collab or merch or something (holding microphone up to you)

oh, hell. that's actually kinda hard because i actually love a lot of kara's outfits. idgaf what the other characters say, his outfits can go so freaking hard sometimes.

i think it's kinda obvious that i really love his main casual outfit since it's what i draw him in the most, it does a good job of showing his general vibes as a character despite how simple it really is. as for his other main designs, his jumpsuit and varsity jacket ( ignoring his fucked hairline in s3 ) are probably my big faves. also, shout out to his hipopo outfit. i haven't watched that movie yet and i heard it kinda sucks, but his outfit is really good in it. oh, and his mt. takao fit. ya'll know how much i love his mt. takao fit.

but if we wanna stick to collab / merch outfits, that's a lot easier for me to pick. it's definitely his outfit from the shine in the distance merch. i think about that outfit on the daily, it's so freaking good. the jacket is so cool and i love it whenever they slap some animal print onto him, i wish they'd do it more. i probably like it so much because it feels like a more refined version of his main casual outfit. other big faves are probably the ones from the odekake style merch and 2nd anime paradise cafe collab.

also this might count as an au, but i go insane every single time i remember the jam session sets from hesokuri wars and how kara looks in them. i blame it on them letting him play sax with an open collared shirt.

Continuing with another character from the main cast of that collab story project created by @papabirdurskeks who becomes a new friend to the main character and his besties, Da'maa, inspired from Moroccans. She is a young noble who was very educated but sheltered not allowed to go outside without assistance and was only destined to get married someday when her real dream was sailing. She escaped when she heard of the main quest disguised as a peasant with a loose robe and a veil (I don't know if I can call it a hijab since it's its own fantasy world with its own religion and real gods) to hide her wealthy dress and jewelry to be hired on board thanks to her scholar knowledge about the gods who could come in handy. She indeed loves to read legends books and is a bit nerdy and is very excited by all of these new things, but can innocently act privileged. I mostly had Brea from TDC AOR in mind back when I suggested her

Think I found the most perfect transport build possible for low rank in Generations Ultimate.

Larinoth Ocarina for Negate Stamina Use and Wind Resistance. Activate shortly before collecting the transport item

Some Bone armor and a gem for Maestro activation to make those melodies last longer

Loc Lac boots for +4 Transporter, slot in gems to activate the skill

Alchemy style so you can get the Alchemy Earplugs

And for your meal find something that can give you the Supercat skill

Astalos didn't even touch me during that transport quest

Me: Calling professional wrestling 'fake' is incredibly unfair to these athletes who put their all on the line in storylines that are predetermined, but there is nothing 'fake' about what is accomplished in the ring Michael Cole: Isn't it impressive that Roman Reigns hasn't been pinned in singles competition in 4 years? And he's had this championship for 3 and a half? :) Me: CAUSE THE FUCKER HAS BEEN HAVING HIS DICK SUCKED SLOPPY STYLE AND HAS BEEN SCHEDULED TO WIN EVERY TIME

WWE's Saudi Arabia PPV events are so interesting to me because like, Saudi Arabia has some of the biggest stadiums on Earth and love sportswashing so the presentation is always Wrestlemania-level huge but the WWE side is always so phoned in because the Saudi government barely actually cares about the context or content of the show. Like, when the Saudi government and WWE were initially pitching event ideas the Saudi government requested Yokozuna to show up despite Yokozuna having been dead for literally almost 25 years

Like, almost all of the matches are Raw main event caliber but so long as Logan Paul, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley are on the show they don't give a shit. The matches were good but the intercontinental 3 way is literally like, an upper-mid level TV main event and Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch just feels like they've been hot potatoing the belt around because they didn't wanna give Becky or Liv an actual consequential feud before Rhea got back and Nia Jax was already on tournament duty.

Any feuds that could've played into the King/Queen of the Ring tournament already played out on TV like, within the first two rounds anyway except for Randy Orton and Tama Tonga. Tama Tonga vs Jey Uso would've actually been a pretty important match for the whole Bloodline story too but they like, almost deliberately avoided doing that because they seemingly did not wanna waste an important match on a Saudi PPV, and because Saudi doesn't give a shit because they get to see Randy Orton instead.

This isn't even mentioning the last Saudi event, Crown Jewel 2023, which might be the most filler live event I've ever seen. Like, Rhea Ripley defeats the entire Raw women's midcard? Logan Paul takes the 4th most important belt in WWE off of 104 year old Rey Mysterio? LA Knight gets his obligatory non-clean loss to Roman that everyone gets when they transition from the midcard to the main event? The build to every Saudi PPV is always the most "we need to fill 4 weeks of television" shit of all time they DO NOT care.

like any coupling, revali and link have got to have some pet names for each other

link is a little asshole and calls revali his sweet little cucco ❤️ because he fr the type to say shitty pickup lines after looking at the bird descriptions in his hyrule compendium like "are you a hotfeather pigeon? because you've got me feeling hotter than death mountain" or "you must be a bright-chested duck because your meat is definitely fat and high quality ;)" (revali actually threw him out of their roost into totori lake for that one and his feathers were poofed up for hours)

in contrast, revali's pet names for link are actually very sweet and meaningful, and are only spoken in the most besotted manner possible; "my jewel/my treasure" because the rito have the bird instinct to hoard shiny things and eventually become bored of them, but revali is completely enamored with link, hair golder than amber and eyes brighter than the most lustrous of sapphires.

revali also calls link "songbird", because i love the headcanon that all the links are musically inclined and i hc that botw!link is an incredible singer, with a smooth and soothing singing voice. he sings once with kass's children at warbler's nest for funsies and revali is absolutely mesmerized by link's voice, but teasingly calls him "songbird" and it sticks! link is his beautiful little songbird and revali falls in love a little more when link sings for him <3

It's no surprise that King Charles III kept sustainability in mind when choosing what to wear on the day of his coronation.

Considering the monarch's lifelong passion for protecting the environment, it's natural that he would choose to make some eco-friendly sartorial choices.

Eco-friendly or not, the king's coronation day look was far from plain.

Upon arrival and departure, Charles wore two different grand robes, per royal tradition.

During the ceremony, King Charles III reused golden vestments, which have been worn for nearly every coronation since 1821, including the Colobium Sindonis, the Supertunica, the Imperial Mantle, the Coronation Sword Belt, and the Coronation Glove.

Buckingham Palace notes that "it is customary for the Supertunica and the Imperial Mantle to be reused, but the reuse of the other objects were made "in the interests of sustainability and efficiency."

Ahead, we break down the different parts of the king's coronation look.

The Robe of State

This magnificent crimson velvet robe was originally worn during King George VI's 1937 coronation.

It has since been conserved by the Royal School of Needlework and Ede and Ravenscroft.

The Colobium Sindonis

(Latin for "shroud tunic")

📷: via Buzzfeed

This piece appears as a white linen tunic with a collar fastened with a single button, fashioned after a priest's alb.

This particular piece of clothing has a sentimental meaning to Charles, as it was previously worn by his grandfather, George VI, during his 1937 coronation.

The Supertunica

This sleeved gold coat was originally made in 1911 for George V's coronation.

George VI and Queen Elizabeth II subsequently wore it at their own crowning ceremonies.

Though it is a relatively modern piece compared to other coronation regalia, it is designed in the same style as coats from medieval coronations, which is in turn influenced by priestly and religious vestments.

This Supertunica features goldwork techniques and embroidery, which was originally completed in 1911 by the Ladies Work Society.

The Imperial Mantle

Worn over the Supertunica, the Imperial Mantle appears like a robe.

It's composed of cloth of gold, gold, silver and silk thread, silk, gold bullion fringe, and a gold clasp.

Additionally, symbolic shapes cover the surface of the Imperial Mantle, including roses, thistles, shamrocks, crowns, eagles, and fleurs-de-lis.

This piece was originally created for George IV's 1821 coronation.

It is the oldest amongst the coronation vestments.

The Coronation Sword Belt

Also known as the Girdle, the Coronation Sword Belt wraps around the Supertunica, with the Jewelled Sword of Offering then fastened at the monarch's waist.

Traditionally, this piece is made anew for each coronation, but Charles has instead chosen to reuse the same Sword Belt that his grandfather, George VI, wore during his 1937 ceremony.

This one features cloth of gold, red silk, and a gold buckle and clip.

The Coronation Glove

The Coronation Glove, also known as the gauntlet, is worn on the monarch's right hand to hold the Sovereign's Sceptre during the moment he is crowned.

Like the Coronation Sword Belt, Charles chose to reuse the hand piece that his grandfather, George VI, wore during his own coronation in 1937, rather than have one made entirely new.

This piece is made up of white leather and further features gilt metal thread embroidery depicting the national emblems of the Tudor Rose, thistle, shamrock, oak leaves, and acorns.

On the back of the glove's hand, there is an embroidered ducal coronet in red velvet above the coat of arms of the family of the Dukes of Newcastle.

The Robe of Estate

To leave Westminster Abbey, Charles put on this purple silk velvet robe that was, again, once worn by George VI. It includes elegant gold embroidery.

Felicia's a Winter. She's the week of the Winter Solstice, actually.

Because just when you've gotten cozy, turned the heat on, and think you've figured out your battle plan this year, here she comes in her big ass fur-collared coat through a crack in your building to rob you of the last bit of warmth* in your life.
