[Archaeology & Art @archaeologyart]

Zoomorphic silver figurine with beast mask and inscription. Culture: Chinese, Qing dynasty. Place of origin: China. Date: 18th century AD. Medium: silver. Private Collection.

The inscription is a wordplay on the Chinese idiom 耀武扬威 (yào wǔ yáng wēi), meaning “to flaunt military might,” commonly used of arrogant people who try to intimidate others. In this piece, the character 扬/揚 (“to raise”) in the idiom is replaced with its homophone 陽/阳 (yáng). 陽 primarily means “sun” or “yang, the male principle,” and it is the first element in Chinese terms that denote the penis (e.g., 阳具). Thus both the wording and the sculpture’s clearly phallic form deliberately allude to “displaying power.”

They suck! No wants to play an intolerant murderer, but a person who is iron bound to hold their word and due violence only in the name of fighting the wicked? Yeah, people like that I find! It's cool, its tragic, its got built in tension!

[Undead Author Society @realjamesbarton]

Paladins are fascinating becuase they are between "person with a genuine code of ethics going out and slaying evil" and "glorified thugs and enforcers of the status quo" depending on how much you lean on them as ideals and them as law-enforcement.

What makes Paladins so damn cool? ☀️

[Undead Author Society @realjamesbarton]

Paladins also have a bunch of Christian imagery associated with them, and that for some people creates some clear baggage (Crusaders are all awful). Like, the term comes a group of specific knights, who were fighting a specific ideological war! And read through that lens
