       @Shooked Then perhaps, yes. Well, I sometimes post like a retard, so when it starts to seem that there has already accumulated too much dumb shit on one account, I switch to another before people notice my stupidity. ­[GS] Sabagebu! - 02 (BDRip 1080p 10bit FLAC) [BDB153E4] 00:14:22.612.jpg

       @Shooked Honestly speaking, the fun times are long over, nowadays I merely try to give back to the random people who still post about anime and the other stuff, that is interesting to me. Being done in the similar manner, at random, that’s pennies, and, I believe, just sinks in twkn. But even better things are, while there’s something to get out of, I’ll throw. “Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his backe, wherein he puts alms for obliuion”. That’d be half the reason, why there’s no effortposting anymore. Also I’m getting out of touch with the popular things, so the rift between me and fedi only grows. If it took you some months to get in touch, then it works. ­[SallySubs] Black Bullet - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [3F41746D] 00:18:07.253.jpg

       @apropos @Shooked No, that’s not the kind of retard stuff you would like. It’s “nigga wtf are you blind? can you read?” sort of stuff.

       @Shooked > I got busy with life and left fedi for months, and just came back a few days ago.You had one chance and you wasted it.> I don't get the youth stuff you're talking about.Like, I’m not into vtubers, computer too old for vidya, not into ongoing stuff, and so on.>  but certainly not out of place.What you see is the most simple stuff. And for the complex stuff, it’s just not worth the time to unload it here.> I have opinions in lot's of stuff, like political opinions, but I almost never post about them because I don't like discourse. Hmm, political discussions are like double futile, because people usually participate in them only to spread their view. People may pick up something, when they watch how the battle unfolds from the side. (That’s probably why a dialogue has become a popular form in antiquity.) Anyway, if you have proofs at hand, your English skills are good and you can find a way to make it entertaining for yourself – why not? > That's why most of the times I'm posting fun stuff that's for entertainment, but that would get boring after a while tooEntertainment is what everyone around here seeks for. At least, in the first place, it’s exactly that. Anything, that’s worth effort, suits better for another place with a fixed URL. Make a blog on git-something-pages and drop a link in the bio. I’d do that.> unique tasteBig words. A “unique taste” is something that an artist, one who creates, has. I can at most only highlight or draw attention to something on another’s work. Those are not equal abilities.> why there are no heroes in ancient Egypt, even though I didn't completely agree with itThat’s probably because my English sucks when it comes to longposts. I’m impressed, that somebody still remembers about it. However, (scratching my head here) what’s wrong with it? Can you name an Egyptian Hercules or Perseus? Theseus or Achilles? Odysseus? Can you remember a comedy, a tragedy or other theatrical work, which would feature an epic hero? Or just a well-written, distinctive character, that remained from the epoch of Ancient Egypt? Nope, there’s none. The literature was only developing back then, and the story highlighted there was an example of a proto-heroic character, what would later would be called “epic”. However, even that story… As I remember, it was the one about a military unit leader, who was on a mission outside the Egyptian kingdom, he was wounded and separated from his soldiers, then picked up by some tribe folk, who got him up his feet. He settled with them, making a family, but once the king of Egypt got to know that his old servant is still alive and lives at a distant oasis, he sent for him and invited back to the country, assuring, that he won’t be persecuted for the failed mission, and would be honoured after death as a noble (thus mummified and entombed).…even that story was only half-epic, because the hero was all too happy to exchange his gains, his family and his status in that tribe for a forgiveness and a pass for the mummification ritual from the pharaoh. The pull to homeland is understandable, but from a hero we expect that /he/ decides his own way, his own faith. That’s why he’s the main character, the protagonist. He shows the way. One who is shown the way is just the opposite of that. And that’s why this story is only “half-epic”. On the other side, it’s a half-legend – half-chronicle, so it remains between a report and a literary work. If it managed to transform over centuries into a work of pen (a reed pen, to be precise), then it could turn into an epic story. But it didn’t, and it didn’t exactly because in the Egyptian mindset the role model in real life could only be the pharaoh. No one could dare to cast shadow on the supremacy of the pharaoh, and that’s why the story, as it came down to us, ended like this: /pharaoh/ has remembered about his poor servant, /pharaoh/ forgave him and /invited back home/, /pharaoh bestowed upon him/ the rites and /made him happy/. It ends up basically with pharaoh taking all the lustre and being the best character of the story, and not the one about him, about whose life, it is.Speaking of the literature of the Ancient Egypt, I can remember some tales and legends, like - the fairy tale about travelling to a wonder island; - the court mage, who’s placed one half of the water from the pool upon the other half, allowing servants to come down to the bottom, and find the earring (or some other jewellery), that a palace girl dropped in the water during boat voyage with the pharaoh; - a legend about the doctor, who was revered centuries later as a godbut in none of this we have /a character/, like, a person with traits. In the tale about the wonder island the traveller is but a witness. We see circumstances, but he’s but a leaf in the wind in this story, he doesn’t decide anything, everything happens beside his will. In the tale about the court mage literally everything that we get to know about him is that he can manipulate water in one particular way, and that’s basically it. Not a word from his mouth. About the doctor I now don’t remember exact details, but I remember that there’s a drastic difference between the real person, that lived (and about whom, as I remember, nothing is known for certain, except that he might live in those or those years under this or that king), and the superficial being, which the myths retained (themselves being spotty and incomplete). These three stories, along with the one that we spoke about before, comprise the first steps of what will later become heroic ethos. Ah, I think I get now what did you mean. The myths about gods, right? Ptah, Thoth, Osiris, Isis, Seth, Ocean of chaos, Book of the dead? The heroic myths and the myths about gods are different. Heroes are characters of the world of people, they are bound to laws, which are common among people. The appearance of a human protagonist in the myths draws a line, and – here I’ll be sharing my thoughts, and I’ll put no claims for their originality – it reflects the change in the people’s mindset about the world around. For the people, who lived in relatively small communities, possibly shifting back and forth, like everyone else – all the world was the nature’s world, the gods’ world, not theirs. Once the settlements have grown into cities, and people stopped abandoning them (due to floods), meaning, that people began to control the nature and that allowed them a) to feel power, and b) make the cities even larger, – the prerequisites for what may be called a civilisation, has been met. Each such large city has become a kind of citadel (walled or not), the world has been split for the “area of human power” aka “our safe home city and its vicinity” and “the rest of the world” aka “dangerous, wild, under the will of gods”. But as humans, little by little, started to travel around and explore, conquer more land for the man, taking it from the nature, taking it “from under the will of gods”, that’s where the heroic ethos begins. On the early stage, “when everything belonged to the gods/spirits”, the myths explained how that world, which is foreign to man, operates, and on the later stage the myths have shown, how man explores or conquers the world.Thinking on “conquering” we can go one evolutional step deeper and observe the mythology of the Bronze age. By that time, as I’ve read, two cults have developed: so called Apollo and Haephaestus cults. Basically both are cults of the tribal epoch, when people acquired food by hunting, gathering or fishing. The priest of the cult had to kill a cave lion, and both differed only in what was allowed for the man going to kill a lion: one was allowed a sword, and the other must’ve killed a lion with his bare hands. (Hercules’s lion skin comes from that custom, by the way.) In Greece, as we can now see, those ancient cults found a continuation in the ethos. In the Ancient Egypt they should have been reflected too, however, it’s not clear (for me), what happened: - perhaps the ancient Egyptians, were so happy about growing barley (see the oldest myths about Osiris, praised as the inventor of beer), that they’ve considered themselves fed enough without hunting big dangerous animals, and abandoned lion hunting altogether, the corresponding myths vanished or transformed so early, that we don’t know any more, where do the ends meet (if they do); - perhaps, when the first to-be Egyptians have come to the Nile delta, there were no lions to support the cult; or hippopotamuses and crocodiles have replaced the cult of killing a cave lion, because they were more abundant in the area and more scary;  - perhaps those people knew not of such a cult whatsoever, and it was spread only in the northern Mediterranean.One way or another, the early appearance of civilisation in Egypt facilitated the emergence of the figure of the pharaoh. Who, being the supreme warrant of well-being within the bounds of the civilised world (i.e. responsible for the protection from the outer threats and nature effects), has absorbed every trait, which the ancient cults might retain from the older figure of a “beast-fighting tribe leader”, and thus monopolised the right of being or becoming one. With that, his figure now was /secularised/, so to say: while the stories of Greek heroes like Hercules of Theseus have drifted a long way from the original state due to accepting metaphors and allegories, the biography of a pharaoh has had to remain a list of mundane details, like went there – conquered – came back. It didn’t leave any space for fantasy or artistic interpretation. The records themselves (as probably the pharaoh’s life itself) were subject to a behavioural codex, lined up by the priests. This made any diversions from “what should be”, events  that are “uncalled for”, inappropriate, let alone some risky “epic hero” stuff like the Hercules’s deeds. As a side note, it is interesting to consider the relation to the law: in the allegoric myths about a person, who has probably existed in reality long ago, that an allegory often appears, when the actions are in conflict with the law. Not necessarily as something “forbidden”, rather “better not spoken of”. Suppose, that Hercules was the son of some ancient king, who sought fame outside his homeland. While the news of him gaining fame were unwelcome in his home city, people were probably interested in how the heir fares. Hence the allegories. (It’s an example, not a real hypothesis.) For the pharaoh, he was the “hero” but at the same time “the law”. The law implies clarity, hence no alternate meanings, everything should be in the literal sense.Now it may seem like I consider epic story that which has a character and metaphors to “unwind” it from the real life. Metaphors and allegories are important to be the story /exemplary/ – so it could serve as a detached example of reality, an example, that may inspire someone in the future. A concept of a demi-god in that regard is vague enough to allow anyone to assume such a role, should he find “the sandals left for him by his father Apollo” under some stone. We’re speaking of the epoch when “it was revealed to me in a dream” was a valid claim (if you can sound convincingly enough). While a pharaoh is a hard-shaped “social construct” (lol) – besides being a flesh and bone human – which one may hardly aspire to become (unless already in the court and planning to overthrow the current or the future king). Anyway, a story about a heroic pharaoh would inspire nobody except his heir. With this, I hope, the point should be clear. See this long sheet of text? I hated to write it no less than you now hate to read it. And it isn’t even what one calls an “effortpost”, because it’s all up in the air. ­[GS] Sabagebu! - 03 (BDRip 1080p 10bit FLAC) [E717D3DF] 00:07:19.481.jpg[GS] Sabagebu! - 03 (BDRip 1080p 10bit FLAC) [E717D3DF] 00:07:19.606.jpg
