Repostober Day 25

The final of the Starter Lines, This one probably gave me the most trouble when designing. I initially had a theme of ‘major archosaur radiations’ and had a Phytosaur fakemon as the Water Starter, to represent the radiation of pseudosuchia, but I never liked any of the designs I came up with for the final stage. I then tried to just go for 'major prehistoric groups’ with a mosasaur fakemon, but couldn’t get a concept down with that either. In the end I decided just to go for full self indugence and make the water line a Spinosaur. I don’t care if 66% of my Starters are dinosaurs, they all look good together and that’s what matters.

Medieval Scorpions Effortpost

So yesterday I reblogged this post featuring an 11th-century depiction of the Apocalypse Locusts from Revelations, noting the following incongruity as another medieval scorpion issue:

A detail from the illuminations of the Bamberg Apocalypse showing two chimerical creatures. Overlaying the image is a portion of the text this illumination is meant to illustrate, with the phrase "tails like scorpions" underlined in red. The tails of the creatures are circled, also in red; they are long and snakelike, ending in what appears to be a snake's head.ALT

The artist, as you can see, has interpreted "tails like scorpions" as meaning "glue cheerful-looking snakes to their butts".

Anyway, it occurred to me that the medieval scorpion thing might not be as widely known as I think it is, and that Tumblr would probably enjoy knowing about it if it isn't known already. So, finding myself unable to focus on the research I'm supposed to be doing, I decided to write about this instead. I'll just go ahead and put a cut here.

there's only one thing worse than an awful book, and that is an awful book with ONE tantalisingly compelling element

an awful book is nothing. You can put it down and never think of it again. An awful book with ONE idea that perfectly captures your imagination can chip your soul out through your eyes with every sloppy syntax error and gaping plot hole while you scream, unable to look away

People who say this are literally saying that they prefer for the workers to all be inexperienced and desperately looking for other jobs. But they somehow also expect good service.

I promise you that if none of these restaurants existed, like-- they just shut down for a day, the US would grind to a halt. No one thinks working in food service is a real job but they want the convenience of hot food and coffee whenever they need it.
