I think the most Gemini thing my dad has ever done is one year he threw himself a reverse surprise party for the sheer drama of it. What is a reverse surprise party? you may ask, well let me tell you. So he invites over all his friends and family and then in the middle of dinner he stands up and announces that it’s not a regular dinner, it is in fact, his birthday dinner (his exact words were “Surprise! …. it’s my Birthday”) cue everyone looking panicked, because oh god I don’t have a gift, I don’t even have a card, but my father, wine glass still in hand assures them not to worry and reveals a pile of presents he got for himself and wrapped for everyone to pick one and give it to him as their gift. And honestly? My father is such a legend.
So @kerrigore asked a question about Necropolis (something about the layout) and I made a custom game to wander around and take a look and discovered something entirely unrelated??
There appears to be an “ancient” image set of the three “old soldiers” - Ana on the left, then Soldier: 76, then Reaper facing them - all throughout Necropolis.
The first set of people are a woman and man, both facing the same direction. They are both wearing white and blue. The man appears to have an implied “deshret” (Lower Egypt) crown. It is not colored.
This appears to be Ana and Soldier: 76 (“decrowned” as a “fallen commander”).
The third man is facing them. He wears a “double feathers” crown, representing Amun or Amun-Ra, considered “the king of the gods.” However, the crown is mostly black and blue, with black being a color that represents death. He holds what looks to be a wheat stalk. Wheat was a symbol of Osiris, god of the dead, and could represent resurrection (“life growing from death”).
Considering Gabriel’s surname means “kings,” and he’s kinda, well, undead, this seems pretty straightforward.
This image is directly behind the computers in Ana’s hideout. The computers show Reaper, as well as locations where he has been.
And before people are like, “It’s just a coincidence!” Blizzard put in another little “character easter egg” in their like, one other “ancient Egyptian art” image.
Feathers rain from above!
You can find “Pharah” on the Temple of Anubis too.
Hadn’t seen anyone mention this, figured I’d post some of my pics on it.
@lilized !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DI U KNOW DIS????????!!!!!!!!
Cool shit.
That Pharah looks a little like Ma'at too, which besides being the *concept* of Justice, is also the *goddess* of Justice. :O
So I was just sent this. Thought y’all might wanna take a looksie.
Right. So I took a look at the TOS, esp on this issue, and it seems they’re missing a large part of it and only highlighting a big ol’ scary chunk of Legalese.

There’s a bunch of key words in here that look an awful lot like “Oh no! They’re going to steal my stuff!” This is Not the case. They’ve left out the first paragraph of this and if you take a lovely little look, it says that you are the owner of your content. There’s also a little bit that says you’re responsible for your own media consumption and if something nasty is in your chat, they’re not liable.
TL:DR?
Discord is not taking your art or personal content. It’s still alllllllll yours.
People need to stop taking these things out of context in order to scare monger people into thinking these companies which are providing a service are doing an evil thing by providing said service.
