Listen, I got you a hat, but it’s ugly. So I drew Coryphe-whatsit’s face on it and stuffed it with apples. Everyone’s hitting it with sticks! I really hope you like it!
some spiderverse doodles!!! the first 3 were made with no refs, immediately after i saw the movie so they’re all wonky looking haha- i know i haven’t drawn any spiders for a long time, but if you follow me on tumblr from the beginning, then you’d know ‘spider-men’ is my favorite spider title and i’ve been super pumped for this movie because finally it’s my baby boy’s time to shine!!!!!!!!!! and honestly spiderverse’s take on miles’ story is better than the comics imo, so i’ve been super blessed. thank!!! please see it on the big screen while you can because everything about it is just so great my english is too limited to describe it lmao. i’ve seen it 8 times and i still want to see it again!!!
“The sword of Orion opens the doors of the sky. Before the doors close again the gate to the path Over the fire, beneath the holy ones as they grow dark As a falcon flies as a falcon flies, may Unis rise into this fire Beneath the holy ones as they grow dark. They make a path for Unis, Unis takes the path, Unis becomes the falcon star, Sirius.”
― Verse from the Pyramid Texts, inscribed on the walls of the antechamber in the Pyramid of Unas
prehistoric burials make me really emotional because people go “it’s natural to only think of yourself to get ahead! people who don’t do anything shouldn’t be a part of society! back in caveman days they would have died!”
but there is archaeological proof that this is wrong. That even at our most “primitive” we cared about the well being of others.
like Shanindar 1. Shanindar 1 is a neanderthal from 35,000 to 45,000 years ago who was buried with many others in Shanindar Cave, Israel. At this point in time we had not yet developed settlements. Shanindar 1 was part of a nomadic hunter-gatherer group.
Shanindar 1 was severely disabled. From his skeleton we can gather the following
At a young age he had suffered a blow to the face which left him blind in one eye
He had significant hearing loss from birth deformities. One ear canal was completely blocked, while the other was only mostly blocked.
His right, and probably dominant, arm was withered, fractured, and the bottom half amputated.
He had a limp, possibly from a degenerative disease.
If you believe that it’s only natural to abandon the weak he should have been left to die instead of drain the group’s resources. Someone like that would have needed assistance for his entire life. He would have slowed the group down with his limp. His sensory impairments meant he would require help to spot and defend himself from predators. His arm meant he couldn’t hunt or build.
He lived well into his 40s. For a neanderthal of that era he would be considered old. His group decided that they would help him survive not because he brought anything to the group, but because he was still a person who mattered to them. Even at the end of his life he wasn’t abandoned; he was buried with dozens of others.
