Zombies Run S3M44 Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
I ran this on Oct 1st and had such a great time. It was a really nice day with me going around the block over and over for thirty minutes. The sidewalk I was on had uphills and downhills in a 1km loop. Perfect.
Spoilers after the image below:
This is an AI-generated image of a person in a mind-controlled haze.
In my personal life, I often listen to those self affirmation audios before bed. After doing this mission, I am very sure that’s not a good idea.
How dare you, Moonchild. How dare you and your yellow aura trick me like this.
The monster following me. What was it? Was it a figment of my imagination or was it real? In my head it looked like the Ice Warriors from Doctor Who.
I thought mind control would never affect me. Guess I’m just as vulnerable as the rest of them.
Season 3 has been a whirlwind with secrets and backstabbings, friends that turn out to be enemies, enemies that are kind of friends…. I don’t know who to trust anymore.

at the current moment you can take a screenshot of just about any point on our master counting list and get one of the most interesting and bizarre screenshots of mcyt fandom possible, i think. (also we're aware of the duplicates we'll go through and try to make sure we've caught all of them before we're done.)

The Lion of Mari, from Syria (Mesopotamia) c.1782-1759 BCE: this is one of two lion statues that once guarded the entrance to a temple in ancient Mari; the lions were partially crushed when Hammurabi laid waste to the city in 1759 BCE
That's a pretty fitting expression, given the circumstances
Together, the two lion statues that were found at the ruined temple are known as the "Lions of Mari." They were unearthed from the ruins at Tell Hariri, where the ancient city-state of Mari once stood; this site is located near the border between modern-day Syria and Iraq.
The lions were likely designed as protomes, given their lack of hindquarters. They were originally stationed on either side of the entrance to the temple, so they are often described as the "temple guardians."
This is the same statue that appears in the first three photos, just seen from a different angle
It's believed that the temple at this site was originally built in honor of a West Semitic deity known as Dagan. Dagan was the chief deity of the Mariote pantheon; he was a particularly prominent figure in the middle and upper regions of the Euphrates, with cult centers in Mari, Terqa, Tuttul, and Ebla, but he was known throughout many parts of the ancient Near East.
The lion is primarily made of copper, with limestone and shale inlay for the eyes, and it measures 53cm tall, 77.5cm long, and 43cm wide, weighing roughly 55kg (about 21in x 30.5in x 17in, with a weight of 121lbs)
The Lions of Mari were partially crushed when their temple was destroyed (along with the rest of Mari) by Hammurabi's forces in 1759 BCE, leaving the statues badly warped...which is why they look really upset.
It's hard to find high-quality photos of the second lion, but he does have a particularly distinctive appearance:
This second lion was most recently housed at the National Museum of Aleppo, in Syria, though its current location/status (in the aftermath of the Syrian Civil War) remains unclear.
These photographs were taken during the original excavations at the ruined temple; they depict the first lion statue as it was still being unearthed (top) and the second statue shortly after it was removed (bottom)
