Locking your mentally ill wife in the uppermost room of your house, and then hiding her existence so you can attempt to marry your young governess? And you’re gaslighting the household whenever your wife breaks out to start fires in themiddle of the night? Talk about problem attic. :/

I’m filled with delight and also seething with rage that I didn’t come up with it first.

Your reblog was super helpful, thank you for adding to the wig discussion! I had seen the art also show the individual strands which had only added to my confusion and indecision so seeing what exactly it was on an extant wig was very helpful!

I had figured (since I have super curly hair that used to do loose ringlets) the art was trying to capture a look of tight ringlets or natural dreadlocks, with possible included braids—but seeing and learning the braids were used to achieve the ringlet effect and then the ends weren’t tied off or secured with a bead but instead secured with a natural substance has really helped me recognize what I’m seeing in the art much more clearly!!

23-tiny-wishes answered:

No worries, absolutely my pleasure! I’m glad you found it helpful :)

I can also offer these two articles, this one on the construction of an Eighteenth Dynasty man’s wig and this one analysing Meryt’s wig for your research

As an aside, a box (Carter no. 547) was found in Tutankhamun’s tomb that contained a domed wooden stand on a pole, possibly for a wig. A piece of a beaded cap was found in the base of the box so it looks like it contained a cap instead? No wigs were found but if there were any they would surely be an easily resellable item for robbers so were probably stolen in either of the two robberies.

The Fotsianondre (meaning White Sheep)

This sheep humanoid cryptid is from Madagascar. The Fotsiaondre has white woolly fur spotted with black and/or brown. Witnesses say it has bulging eyes, a long muzzle, floppy ears, and cloven hooves. It is said to be nocturnal and an herbivore. 

It has been suggested that the Fotsianondre is actually an exaggerated description of a known species of lemur. Or perhaps a creature similar to the Kidoky, more like a remnant of one of the giant subfossil lemurs believed to have gone extinct between 200 and 500 years ago.

Does anybody else get legitimately worried when a fanfic author who was updating regularly just suddenly disappears with no warning? Like, is it a serious case of writers block or are they in a coma? Did they just up and quit? Was it me? Were my reviews not good enough?! Did they die 😳?! Were they kidnapped? Do I need to file a missing persons report? Excuse me officer, there’s been 13 weekly updates and now nothing for months! Find them! What’s their name?! Name!? I don’t know their name but they write 3k+ chapters and I need them safe and back in my life!

Sir, that’s my emotional support fanfic author.

Me: you don’t have all the facts.

Officer: which are?

Me: i love them.

So, painful story, but I’ve really needed to tell it for a while.

My best friend, the woman I loved for 13 years, was a fic writer in the middle of an especially long piece. She updated on a schedule and had for years. She had a small, but loyal following.

And then she died out of nowhere. One day we were laughing, the next she was in a coma, 3 days later she was dead. She hadn’t been ill and to this day we don’t know what took her. She was just gone.

I knew she had friends all over the world so I went into her email to see if I could find addresses and notify people after a week of blind grief. In her inbox were about a dozen concerned messages from her readers. I cried. I cried and cried and I responded to all of them, telling people she had passed.

And the messages kept coming. Those people spread the word and message after message came in, most of them addressed to me now, as I had given those original readers my contact info. There were words of comfort and grief and just every emotion imaginable in that scenario. I wrote back to them all, thanking them and comforting them.

For months after she died, during the worst of my grief, I had those messages. I had those people. And they had me. I really think I might not have made it to the other side without them.

So, the fact that you care? That you think of them? That these authors who became a presence in your world are missed when they aren’t there? It means something very real. On the off chance that the author did die? Anyone who has seen this post will find comfort during the loss of their friend or family member, knowing that you all exist. That they aren’t alone. That you CARE that the world now lacks their loved one.

So, yeah. I’ve seen this post and ones like it for years and wanted to share this story. I finally could today.

Thank you, every person who reblogged this post. People like you are the biggest reason I’m alive today.
