Pair of Sandals - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 22.3.21a, b Second Intermediate Period–Early New Kingdom, Dynasty 17-18, ca. 1580–1479 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Unfinished Temple ("Seankhkare") Valley, Pit Tomb MMA 1008/1016 (Mond 8), MMA excavations, 1920–21

Description:

These sandals, along with a second, similar pair (22.3.20a), were found in the chamber of a pit tomb used ultimately for the burial of a 21st Dynasty (ca. 1100 B.C.) charioteer named Itamun (see 26.3.1a, b). They come, however, from an earlier burial that was pushed aside for the tomb's new occupant.

The soles of the sandals are formed of tightly woven papyrus in narrow rows, with three outer bands defining the shape. The thongs are made of thicker strips of flattened reeds.

Like all Arab mothers Taila al Ghul wears sandals for one purpose and one purpose only.

It is the ultimate weapon of discipline. It flies at speeds that go upto 380 k/h. Easy to put on and very easy to take off to hit her boys.

Jason and Damian grew to fear the sound of sandals.

They didn't clean their rooms; hight speed sandal to the back of their heads.

Half assing training; sandal in the face.

Rushing thought prayers; oh is dear, is that shoe flying.

Stuffing food down their throats; that's a very nice look bruise at the back of your head there boys.

And you best believe that when Jason and Damian have kids of their own, Talia would buy sandals for them.

S/O giving Homelander a silly gift like novelty socks just because. Do you think he'd like them, hate them, wear them in secret.

Homelander stares in disenchantment, holding the pair of socks up over the gift bag you had presented them in. He should have known by the impish way you were grinning as he opened it—or even the way you wiggled as you handed him the bag—that you were up to no good, but presents have always been his blind spot. He still gets giddy when you surprise him with them.

Maybe that's why you do it so often. He's been delighted by pretty much all of them, but this...

"If this is your way of trying to break up with me, the answer is no," he says dryly, turning the socks side to side.

You laugh, already near tears. He's sometimes envious of how freely and easily those come to you. How deeply you feel your every emotion, the good and the bad, without shame or repression. His lips quirk slightly as you laugh, though he otherwise maintains his unenthused expression. "So, you like them?" You ask, smiling cheekily.

"They're... certainly something," he says, clicking his tongue.

"Oh, so you love them."

"Have I done something to offend you recently?" He continues, holding them up to you. "Because this—this is hateful," he says, feigning severity in his tone for the way it makes you laugh even harder.

"Put them on," you practically plead, resting your head on his chest.

"Aww, babe," he coos, kissing the top of your head. He whispers against your crown, "Not a fucking chance."

They may be horrifically ugly, but—as he discovers the next day—they're actually pretty damn comfortable. So long as they're thoroughly hidden under his boots, anyways.

This applies to boots, dress shoes, sandals, and pretty much any other type of shoe.

[teatitty]

Listen the only thing stopping Yugi from wearing proper goth heels and platform boots is that Atem has absolutely no balance in them whatso-fucking-ever and walks like a newborn deer in them so Yugi compromises by having flat-low heeled shoes with studs and buckles on them instead

this might be my favorite photo of her or anyone of all time

Dear @bleachbleachbleach

I know you care deeply about pivotal scenes in Bleach where characters are not wearing shoes, so when I was looking up something in the very first chapter, I thought of you immediately when I realized that during Rukia and Ichigo’s fateful first meeting, Ichigo is wearing these cute little stripey numbers (personally, I would have colored them red):

“Of course he is!” one might say, “he’s indoors!” BUT it’s what comes next that’s important—the action moves outdoors, but our boy doesn’t have time to pull on his sneaks when there are sisters to save!

I am already in love with the fact that Kubo has been doing Sock Fights since literally day one, but I also love the implication that this, the moment of truth, the scene that sets off the rest of the entire story and will be featured in every flashback montage from now until eternity…

…takes place in Socktown.
