school work- Sun and his grandmother :3

here’s why I doesn’t upload as much pictures as I used to- character desing and animation practice for my master work: animation short  “O Kovladu”(inspiration is from slovakian fairy tale by Božena Němcová ” :) ) I’m going to spend next school year with work on this project so prepare yourself for more Kovlad spaming :3

monthly drawing for my patreon ♥

Děd Vševěd(old man “Know-everything” , basically the Sun himself- who is old man only in the evening,but it the morning he’s little child and he ages at his way through the sky ♥) , his mom-telling him good-noght riddles and the young prince who came to steal three of his golden hair :3

It is my favorite czech fairy tale, I’ve already made some illustrations/sketches for it during last years but I take every change to draw illustration of Děd Vševěd again ^^;

another fairytale picture for you :) it´s for same fairy-tale as this one , O slunečníku, měsíčníku, větrníku a krásné panně Ulianě …i really like this fairy tale…one day i want to draw comic about it :3

ghhhhhhhh…i really hate digital colouring …i tried some new style but…it was BAD idea =__=

face the sun ☀️

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

Harry Du Bois is that you???

You stay away from my balls

now more than ever, please vet gofundmes before you donate.

copy and paste descriptions into google to see if there are scam accounts reusing the same story, check to see if there are any images/updates on the fund with faces. go to the original blog, check if the post asking for help is only an hour old, or even less than that. refrain from donating if all it links to is a PayPal account, without any further confirmation of identity.

it’s horrible to say but it’s never been a better time for scam artists to exploit your generosity, when things seem so dire, and I’ve donated to campaigns before only to realise later that the entire story was stolen from an actual family in need. due diligence might take a few more minutes out of your day but at least you won’t be sending money to an opportunistic scumbag.

for campaigns on tumblr: please check out @/el-shab-hussein's list of verified fundraisers here on tumblr and also @/nabulsi. they both do incredible work at vetting campaigns.

there is also this spreadsheet made by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein.

other places to find vetted fundraisers are the operation olive branch spreadsheet and also gazafunds.

alas, poor knight

Trade routes, Austronesian peoples, and shared culture among Southeast Asians during the Iron Age

As many scholars have noticed, the Indianized polity of Champa [established in AD 192] in central Vietnam provides functional parallels for its Sa Huynh predecessor [until AD ~200], in that it served as a gateway to the Indianized world for the Philippines and Vietnam, and also a gateway to the Chinese world for Malaysians and Indonesians. During the Han dynasty, the Chinese historical documents Discourses on Salt and Iron (鹽鐵論) and Book of Han—Treatise of Geography (漢書.地理志) record that the Chinese exported gold and silk to the lands around the South China Sea in exchange for glassmaking materials, crystal, agate, rhinoceros horn, aromatic woods, and spices. It was also recorded that Champa people were expert traders and sailors. We can imagine that the Sa Huynh ancestors of Champa probably traded on many geographic scales, all with considerable impact on neighboring countries.

At least some pottery traditions were shared cross the South China Sea prior to the appearance of diagnostic Sa Huynh and Kalanay pottery forms. These earlier connections may have created the contacts, channels, and contexts that facilitated other networks, such as we can trace more abundantly with Sa Huynh-Kalanay.

[…] The Pre-Sa Huynh assemblages and earlier Neolithic assemblages in central coastal Vietnam reflect a certain degree of cultural relationship with the Austronesian island world to the east, commencing most likely around 1500-1000 BC, demonstrated for instance by the similar baked clay earrings from Thach Lac, Savidug, and Nagsabaran. These relationships long preceded the Iron Age arrival of the ancestral Chamic-speakers in central Vietnam, and they were perhaps correlated with earlier contacts between other (non-Chamic) Malayo-Polynesian-speaking peoples. Current linguistic knowledge derives the Malayo-Chamic languages from Borneo, not the Philippines, reminding us that people very likely sustained a number of connections without currently documented archaeological or linguistic outcomes.

The classic Sa Huynh culture of Iron Age central Vietnam expressed considerable internal variation in pottery shapes and covered a very large area, and this diversity appears incongruent with a single and tightly defined ethnolinguistic entity such as Proto-Chamic. Modern linguistic distributions, and especially the recent discovery of Sa Huynh sites in the inland regions of the Thu Bon River Valley, make it likely that both Malayo-Polynesian and Mon-Khmer populations played important roles in the development of Iron Age Sa Huynh culture. From a longer term archaeological perspective, we see in central Vietnam an in situ native Neolithic culture of northern Phung Nguyen affinity (expressed in the Long Thanh assemblage), that received putative Island Southeast Asian cultural influences from about 1500-1000 BC onwards.

In many ways, the conspicuous archaeological record of the Iron Age has distracted our attention away from the likelihood of older cultural links across the South China Sea. In fact, the Iron Age connections very likely followed much older sea-lanes and trade-routes, but new materials and attendant social practices were introduced into the long-running system during the Iron Age. New materials, such as glass, metal, precious stones and large burial jars arguably became dominant in the archaeological record, but most importantly the associated cultural practices became and remained pervasive throughout the Iron Age communities. For whatever reasons, people in widely separated locations began following many of the same cultural traditions and expressions, seen in their persistent choice of the same types of jewelry, pottery, and burial practice.
