a Artwork about 《Memory》

Obito said it wasn’t simply Rin or Kakashi that drove him to Infinite Tsukuyomi, yet he tries so hard to convince Kakashi of his plan. Even when he taunts Kakashi about hesitating to kill him, hadn’t he done the same as well all these years? Even when he tells Zetsu, Madara, and himself that Kakashi being alive or dead doesn’t matter? 

Because what is the point of Infinite Tsukuyomi if Kakashi isn’t alive and real and able to experience it himself? Because what is Kakashi, in Obito’s eyes, if not a monument to all the sins of the shinobi system?

Something about how even after all that’s happened, there is still a place for you with me at the end of the world.

Or perhaps the end of the world is for you. 

It has always been for you.

just look at his face 😭

I’m going to talk about this annoyingly and pedantically but please understand that it’s because of who and what we read. It’s not so much that I object to Zeus and Jupiter being the same god because I have a really powerful idea of who both Zeus and Jupiter are and can say definitively that one is this and the other is that, but more because I think the idea that someone could say “this god is just another god with new paint” should be absurd on its face more than people realize. I don’t like the civilizational relay idea of “Western Civilization,” that somehow one culture can be the “heir” to another, not because the ancients didn’t think like that, but because the idea was adopted uncritically by the immediate successors of the ancients and perpetuated for various reasons (like white supremacy) up to the present day. There seems to be a legitimization crisis, a constant struggle to justify empire, that started when the idea of dozens of independent city states no longer seemed to be a possibility in the latter half of the first millennium BCE. The Romans emerged out of that crisis as the uncontested rulers of the Mediterranean and the heirs to everything by default and so subsequent claims to their legacy automatically assumed all of those previous claims were legitimate, which obscured a lot of culture. Christianity did the same thing for religion but was easier as a tool for legitimacy because the Romans could heavily centralize religious authority. There’s a reason Roman emperors continuously demanded conventions to establish a scriptural canon as the basis for orthodoxy (and orthopraxy). The reason I mention all of this instead of just describing Zeus and contrasting that with the character of Jupiter is because the very idea that “Zeus” had any kind of consistency within Greek culture is a projection. Greek culture did not have a canon of scripture to even be the subject of exegesis let alone for there to be mutually exclusive exegetical interpretations that required apologists. It certainly didn’t have an orthodoxy—all you have to do is look at the question “who were their parents and where were they born?” for any given god to find the Greeks didn’t have a definitive answer. Even what the god was basically like or how important they were to cosmology varied widely depending on the time and place, illustrated pretty well by the poem “Wings” by Simmias of Rhodes which contrasts two identities of Eros, neither of which is totally like Cupid, the associated Roman deity. Whenever the pagan Romans or Greeks wrote about foreign cultures they very confidently assigned the names of their vaguely equivalent gods to foreign deities and when they couldn’t do that they didn’t distinguish it as from another religion and therefore untrue. On the contrary they often imported the cult of that deity to their home city. I’m not just trying to make a “you wouldn’t call Zeus basically Thor so why should you call Jupiter basically Zeus” argument. It’s true but it’s not particularly insightful or groundbreaking and I could’ve just said that instead of doing whatever this is. What I’m trying to get at is that this Greco-Roman tendency to interpret foreign gods as their own has implications for how they thought of Their Own Gods not just the gods of others. We take it for granted that when any given Greek talked about Zeus they meant the Zeus of the “Greek pantheon,” but cults varied extremely. But even phrasing it as a “cult,” a regional variation on a deity, assumes that the deity is essentially consistent but varied on. Not to be annoying about it but I’ve already made my point. The cult of Zeus in the city state Rome is going to be different than the cult of any of the Greek city states and you can look up how and give a really concrete non-meandering answer to your question but it won’t interrogate fundamentally what the Greeks were exactly talking about when they even said “Zeus.”

Was Zeus a god the Greeks had when they migrated to Greece and that god spread out with the Greeks and gained local variations throughout the Greek world or is “Zeus” the word the Greeks used for a Zeus-like local god? To even suggest that this chicken or the egg question exists is utterly alien to a Western comprehension of religion because another way to phrase it is “Did the Greeks take Zeus with them or did they find Zeus wherever they went?” To put it another other way, is Zeus a particular deity or a religious psycho-ecological niche? Please wiki an “Elvis taxon”: a later totally unrelated species can look like it’s related to (or just is) an earlier species because they were acted upon by the same environmental pressures to the point that they looked alike. Is Zeus the god that came before or are they two separate gods fulfilling the same role or is Zeus the role itself? To word it YET ANOTHER WAY: distinguishing between Zeus and Jupiter is hard not because one is the other (there’s no difference between the pictures) but because one is the other in another way (one is a photograph of a subject and the other is a painting of the subject with photographic accuracy). The implications of a rigid enough mould to shape non-Zeuses into a Zeus means that Zeus and Jupiter could be EXACTLY ALIKE and STILL not be the same because Zeus/Jupiter could be thought of as how a given culture reacted to needing a Zeus.

There we go. That's more like it.

Conversely, best is a body that should.

Absolute worst case scenario: You find a body that should be there but when you come back it’s gone

“Guys?  Where’d she go?”

She’s behind you

Me [beating at the bog body with a shovel]: WE. DIDN’T. TAKE. SITU. PHOTOS. YET. Get back in that hole! You can go for a walk after.

The fact that I can picture myself and pretty much all of my archaeologist colleagues grabbing a shovel and doing this last bit just makes it that much funnier.

god this has to be one of the dumbest things i spent 5 minutes on but it sprouted fully formed in my brain the second i saw this post

(sorry for quality i’m drawing on a mouse)

That episode of Time Team you didn’t see.

You know you fucked up when archaeologists drop their coffee. Always take photos before you take a break, just in case the dead come back to life and destroy your trench!

OH MY GOD

The Dragon - Megumi and Geto

Geto and Megumi are both the black wolves, the yang in their relationship with Gojo and Yuji respectively. However they are also parallels to one another. Both of them represent the black yang, both are deeply emotional people, and both are also partners and secondary to the strongest sorcerer of their generation. Geto who was the part of the strongest duo along with Gojo, and also Megumi who was the one who saved, and continues to protect Itadori even after he swallowed Sukuna’s finger. They also tend to be associated with serpents (Megumi - Oboro the snake, Geto summons a dragon). More under the cut.

it is possible that a reason tobirama is a sensor type is because he emphasized training this ability because he’s visually impaired

I’m just thinking about the fact that the white hair + pale skin + reddish brown eyes could be albinism (as opposed to like, fantasy-world iris pigment colors, ya know). having basically no melanin in your eyes frequently causes vision problems, and having poor or no vision would be a specific reason to develop your chakra sense, right

The immortals are getting bold.

One of those is… Weird Al…

If anyone is nigh immortal it’s Weird Al Yankovic

if someone steals an uchiha’s sharingan, do they inherit the memories that eye would have seen? What kind of pseudo sympathetic Stockholm syndrome would that breed?

Would you eventually sympathise with the Uchiha whose eyes you stole? Is that why Kakashi is the way he is?

Because he can ‘see’ himself the way young Obito saw him earlier - with excruciating clarity? He’d remember Obito’s death only too well - and probably live it from both sides too.

Is that why he hates himself OMG

It would explain why the Uchiha all seem to “feel too much”, and/or eventually go insane ;__;
