Tip for all my student readers: if you’re too lazy to use a bibliography creator like NoodleBib or RefWorks, let Google generate your bibliography entries for you. All you have to do is google the article/book title in Google Scholar, click “cite” at the bottom of the search result, and copy either the MLA, APA, or Chicago cite into your word document.

Signal boost because omg how did I not know this in college?

What’s not fine is telling someone they can’t love another person because it doesn’t fit into the confinements of a label.

If you’re asexual and get attracted to someone somehow.

Kindness to Sparrows by ~DistantGlory

Young Ken as Set in the Egyptian mythology AU that Zaz and I are devising.

Are you sitting comfortably? Yes? Excellent. This one has a lot of notes.

Firstly, about the sparrow. In order to explain the sparrow, I’m going to have to give you a quick lesson in Middle Egyptian. Like English (sort of), not every hieroglyph in a word was part of the sound - but these extra signs generally served a special purpose. One group of those signs were ‘determinatives’, which are added to the end of the word in order to say something about its content. So, for example, if you write the word for ‘temple’ or ‘palace’ you put the sign for ‘house’ after it to show that it’s something to do with buildings. A bunch of verbs had the walking legs after it, to show that they were something to do with movement. And so on. The sparrow was a determinative sign - it signaled that the word was about something small, narrow, common…or bad. The Egyptians didn’t like sparrows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Sparrow#Cultural_associations

Secondly, about Keth’s clothing. This is not what any ancient Egyptian child would have worn - for one thing, they universally ran around naked until they reached their teens - the only exceptions being when it was cold. Peasants to royalty, kids didn’t have to wear anything until they became adults. No clothes, at least - they would have worn a lot of jewelry. http://www.touregypt.net/egypt-info/magazine-mag11012000-magf1.htm

This also isn’t what any ADULT would have worn. I based the design of Ken/Set’s skirt off a ‘gala’ outfit I found in a book (“Life in Ancient Egypt” by Adolf Erman), but it was pretty rare for the Egyptians to wear colors. Most of the time, Egyptians seem to have worn plain white linen of varying qualities - the high-quality stuff was so fine that the body underneath was visible. It seems to have been the general consensus that the beauty of the cloth was enough.

Regarding the hair - this sidelock style, sometimes called ‘the lock of youth’ was extremely common for children. It might not be a permanent design feature because Digimon characters are often distinguished by hair color and style. (It doesn’t help that it wasn’t uncommon for Egyptian to shave their heads and wear wigs of an appropriate style instead - they had an obsession with cleanliness, and body hair was considered unclean.) http://www.touregypt.net/egypt-info/magazine-mag07012000-mag4.htm

And finally, jewelry. A child god would probably be wearing stuff much more ornate than these plain gold bands, but I’m having trouble finding good pictures of ancient Egyptian bracelets. The Egyptians LOVED their jewelry - they often contain symbols for good health and warding off evil, but they also loved it for its own sake, and loaded themselves up with it all the time. Bracelets, rings, anklets, necklaces, earrings - you name it, they wore it, pretty much. (Above link also

So there you go. I hope you’ve learned something.
