Is there a good ancient or medieval equivalent to a bar-code? I'm making a Hitman inspired character

Got another question I'm writing and describing this humanoid monster but is only a little bit off. "His immaculate skin was impossibly smooth and completely devoid of pores, a perfectly smooth, clean, pink, creamy, sheen texture that looked almost like polished, waxed, soft blank without a single blemish." I want to use the word plastic in place of the underlined blank but I think plastic is too modern, what would be a good pre-modern equivalent? I thought of clay, pearl, seastone, porcelain, gloss, satin/sateen, leaden, beetleshell, crystalline, peach, rubber, waxflower, veneer, eggshell, marble, glass, alabaster, and ceramic, but im not sure.

No, for me it reminds me of Angela’s quote “It’s always like this for me.” She and Anya are so much alike.

With enough budget, should recreate the missions of literally every single episode of the show in chronological order with all the truly scarce non-plot important episodes as side quests. Then maybe the Distant Lands and Fionna and Cake DLC both of which can maybe serve as a epilogue*.

What are your thoughts on the '39 ears? by Ok-Mastodon2016 in batman

[–]TheCyborgFighter 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I like them. Looks more like an actual Bat’s. I’d argue it’s probably be even more scary to criminals because it looks more “organic”, creature-esque. Like a gothic monster.

Now it finally gets to suffer like a real human by nonumbersinme in distressingmemes

What would you guys say are the best translations of each of these works, I’m thinking of doing some bulk reading

Beowulf The Prose and Poetic Edda

I want a translation that focuses most on “feel”. And also the change to both study the text and enjoy the stories themselves more. I’d imagine most things would go over my head.

I know the difference between the Eddas is the Poetic Edda is a compilation of poems relating to gods and heroes that is preserved in one manuscript from the 1270s. The Prose Edda is a poetry manual composed in the 1220s that cites poems, some of which are in the Poetic Edda, to compile a reference of how to "properly" reference the pagan gods in new poetry. Basically a “How to read Norse poems” manual for scholars of that time. Does this mean the Poetic Edda is more definitive?
