I finally had some time to myself today -and also the energy and the motivation.
I did my chores, I cooked, went and bought some yarn for a project, I even made a matcha cake (my sister is visiting tonight), but the thing I was waiting for was to finally put my energy in maskmaking. I really want to finish them this week! So I put in some Attenborough (Life of mammals) and took to crafting.
I worked on the kitsune mask because I was not quite satisfied with her features. I worked on her nose and ears, and I think she is ready for sanding and cutting once dried.
Afterward I dug up the last mask I started last year to take a look at it…it’s supposed to be a tengu mask but I was very unsure about the facial features. As I was working on the whiskers, the mouth, and the eyes I realized what’s wrong with him: he didn’t have a chin!
So I gave him a big hypermasculin chad chin. 😂 Now he looks better and once he dries out, I will take care of his beard. I am quite sure that I'll have a lot of work to do with the sanding. I'm still unsure about the face...
Now I’m going braiding.

In my post exam boredom I have decided to revisit the button house horses - starting with Mary and Robin.

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.
In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.
(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)
Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.
(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)
I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

Thus, Sumerian writing came to consist of a complex mixture of three types of signs: logograms, referring to a whole word or name; phonetic signs, used in effect for spelling syllables, letters, grammatical elements, or parts of words; and determinatives, which were not pronounced but were used to resolve ambiguities.
