been looking into oracle bone script for...reasons, and am losing my mind a little over the fact that the symbols in the Lady Bone Demon's spell rings are literally just the Chinese zodiac in oracle bone script.
(source)
From left to right: horse, tiger, boar, dragon, rabbit, bull, rooster, bull (again), monkey, rat, dragon (again), rooster (again)
(source)
maybe not the most reputable academic source, but just look at it. they're identical, and match up with other reference sites i found (this one just happens to be the nicest graphic, clearly sporting all twelve of the zodiacs in both oracle script and the modern Chinese).
top row, left to right: rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake
bottom row, left to right: horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, boar
like seriously? how cool is this?
#screaming from the void#lego monkie kid#lady bone demon#its just neat#oracle bone script is just really cool in general#i pretty pictographical so it's interesting to connect the definitions to the character#the ref images that i found were literally IDENTICAL to what we see in the show and that makes me ridiculously happy bc i feel smart :)#lmk oc: zaoyu yaoshi#...*cough* just sliding this in here for no particular reason
