also update to the whole 3ds wordcount sheet. tbf, over half of the 20k since i've last updated was EMG stuff, but i've also been hammering away at some paracosm rewrites that haven't been transcribed, so my free time hasn't been /entirely/ colonised by work in the week i've been back
![Homuncular Jesus in religious art
The Homuncular Jesus describes the trend in European art from the Middle Ages to depict the Christ child, not as an anatomically correct infant , but, as a small adult man. Artists did this because, according to religious scholars of the time the Christ child had a fully formed body and soul at the time of conception and that He was perfect and unchanging,[13] but in parts of the Bible like Luke 2:52 the jesus grew in "wisdom and stature" so many artists depicted the infant jesus as very small man.
