Before there was Moo Deng, there was William.
This little blue hippopotamus, known affectionately as William, has been a fan favorite at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for over a century. Dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 1961–1878 BCE), William was likely placed in tombs to offer protection in the afterlife.
His bright faience glaze and lotus decorations connect him to the Nile’s waters—but don’t let his charm fool you! Ancient Egyptians knew that hippos were both revered and feared, making William a powerful symbol. He epitomizes the Egyptian craftsmanship of the era.
Take a closer look at William on JSTOR.

I sentence you to thinking about dragons for 10 billion year
so my roommate reminded me this song existed and now I have some Thoughts™
AU where linguini IS a Jedi and remmy is force sensitive and remmy just keeps using Jedi mind tricks on linguini to take him away from the order and make him into the greatest chef in the galaxy. OR, alternatively: if torbin is space linguini, that means he wanted to go home so bad bc his force rat is compelling him so he (force rat) can go back to taking shifts at his part-time position at DEX’s diner again–i will take no criticism on this. i will make no amends and i regret nothing. i have been burdened with the truth and now so have you.
torbin from the acolyte looks like linguini from ratatouille. no, i will not elaborate, nor will I take criticism.
ok we need to talk about this
I’m not sure if it's the re-integration talking or if Mark's coping mechanisms run so deep in his nature, but the fact that both he AND Mark S. have the same grief response is just WILDLY fascinating to me and I'm surprised no one is talking about it. like it COULD be reintegration. it COULD. but having that death and trauma be so deep it breaks that mental boundary (notice no flashbacks) is an equally compelling concept
SEVERANCE 2x05 "Trojan's Horse"
op gets it watched a girl crumple on asphalt. completely passed out. no one budged except me (i was in charge). begged the director to stop so I could hear if she was responsive. nothing happened. band plays on. once watched a boy vomit on the field. 70,000 people there and man just kept marching
c&m 10000000000% only cares about finishing their set. marching orders transcend severence, lads.
People asking why the severed marching band didn’t care their drum major got locked in a bathroom — have you ever BEEN in a marching band??
“Keep playing” is the TOP PRIORITY. People have thrown up and no one blinks. People have passed out on the field from exhaustion and heat and we just step over them. The bottom half of one girl’s instrument FELL OFF DURING A COMPETITION and not one of us even twitched. An. Eyelid.
Milchick trapped in a bathroom behind a vending machine by two random fellow innies, him furiously banging on the door as they plead for help? Not C&M’s problem, boo. They gotta keep pointing those toes and lifting those heels. It’s what he would have wanted
grading papers is literally the worst thing to happen since lettuce was first thrown on a sandwich. who's idea was this folks
