恐ろしく久々にアナログで描いたけどデジタルとあんまり変わらん線画の感じに落ち着いてよかった

this screencap originally launched the "office lady ninshubur" joke, the consequences of which you'll probably get to see pretty soon

i'm largely done with the incredibly busy period at work so stream of consciousness research posting is back on the menu

N. Walls in his Anat monograph is like one step away from basically hammering Anat and Ashtart into the madonna whore dichotomy and insistsAshtart's character is poorly defined but also safely can be assumed to be erotic when it's convenient

imagine if the wiki article of the letter e started with "the letter e has multiple uses both in the 18th century letters of Napoleon Bonaparte and in Don Quixote". who wrote this lmao

tove jansson plays a special role in my life partially because my parents read me moomin books over and over again when i was a kid but also because i first learned about gay people from an article about her (probably shortly after she passed away in 2001)

just wanted to draw junheca in pjs 😋

スケロクさん

that's a secret sneak peek at an upcoming blog article technically

Thank you for the commission!

見せられるものが清書してたら爽やかになってきた純ヘカの進捗くらいしかない

skeb.jp/@yudai_hachi... in retrospect i perhaps should've commissioned this before I posted my Inanna iconography article, not after

wikipedia is a land of wonders

the english translation of Morohoshi's Box has concluded... I liked it a lot but I feel like I should read the short story collection Kyoko debuted in to better understand some details of the ending though?

yamayuandadu.tumblr.com/post/8107459... finally posted my loose thoughts on the recent paper about new excavations in the temple of Ishtar of Assur. Tl;dr strong evidence for sourthern influence, weak for Shaushka but I want to believe

i think i talked about it before but one of my pet theories is that the weidner god list inanna-ninshubur-nanaya sequence in the WGL corresponded to shaushka-ninatta-kulitta in the bi- and trilingual versions, none of which preserve ninshubur's and nanaya's entries

one reason why I'm really sad i don't think i'll ever be able to become an assyriologist for real is that the exact thing i would like to write has been identified as a desideratum in 1992(!) already but hasn't materialized since

still need to post my brief thoughts on that new article about Ishtar of Assur and Shaushka, too... tomorrow maybe

yamayuandadu.tumblr.com/post/8105662... brief discussion of some puzzling attestations of Dagan

#諸星大二郎 #アリスとシェエラザード

so wait Stephanie Dalley actually has an entire decades-long bit going where she tries to prove that Nineveh was confused with Babylon just to validate random low quality Greek accounts? do i get that right? i do not understand the purpose of this

honestly whatever sennacherib had going on religiously with resurrecting or increasing the importance of completely random deities (haya???) strikes me as much more unusual than nabonidus' personal devotion to Sin (which, once again, represents a tradition with OB roots and ample NA attestations)

9koma.locale2.net seen people doing these, figured i should too. I thought about limiting myself to 1 per author but ultimately went against it; if i were to stick to that there would be either Wakusei or the 1st Kitaro run for Mizuki, and either Munakata or The Emperor of Winter for Hoshinobu

between the manga and the fanbook raidou supplementary material is... rough, to put it lightly; i haven't read the novel, is that any less bad

i don't make accusations of this sort easily but there's something deeply suspect about the raidou fanbook going out of its way to state rei is not chinese, making onmyodo a jjcat thing, and also power scaling characters based on arbitrarily making them "shinto" or "buddhist"

黒巫鏡談　最新話更新しました！ リモート呪術バトル回です comic-walker.com/detail/KC_00...

was it really defunct? afaik there's no evidence the cults of kish were disrupted to any greater degree and zababa was doing fine all the way up to achaemenid times

I don't have access to Gods of Medieval Japan vol. 4 yet, but while I'm excited for the kushojin and placenta deities chapters, I have to say I'm uncertain if dedicating 1/3 of the final volume in the series to more highly debatable shukujin coverage was the right decision

0 clue where Zaia got this idea from

i know you can't expect much from jungians but it's kind of wild that they are obsessed with making ereshkigal inanna's double or whatever instead of saltu, a character who literally exists to be an exaggerated copy of her

honestly i wish sennacherib's enuma elish rewrite included all the deities depicted on the relief showing ashur battling tiamat that was reportedly prepared during his reign, it would be comedic if all these z-listers like kakka and haya and kippat-mati and so on tried contributing

go read kokufu kyoudan if you haven't already

www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/... Until august, you can watch a documentary about Morohoshi on NHK's website; it's in English (partially dubbed, partially subbed)!

using the saltu myth (minus the clay part) as a vague plot outline for an inanna vs shaushka story... do you see my vision
