Sorry guys, but I just don't like any of the fantrolls on this blog any more. I'm leaving this blog, but I've created another one in its stead. It's in the links below. Tag anything you want me to see either "umbreon241" or "gossamergrudge".

PSA

((hello i have risen from the grave once more

i just wanted to say that im going to close this blog soon. ive made some mistakes on this blog and i honestly dont really like any of my ocs here any more because theyre all like giant sues.

but in other news, im going to be creating a new blog soon with all of my new fantrolls that ive been designing. i like their designs a lot because theyre more realistic and less sue-ish.

so once thats done ill post the url here. im not going to delete this blog, but its going to be inactive, so if y'all want to head over to my new blog once i get it up and running, that would be fantastic.

i kind of want to do a fresh start, you know? i think ive improved with a lot of things so i wont be so much of "that lame fourteen year old" any more.))

“Noun is a playful artist’s book about words and their definitions. It is like an exquisite corpse with words. Starting with 27 real English words, each word and its definition has been divided into two parts. By turning the pages, you get to mix and match the word halves to create humorous and nonsensical new words and meanings. With over 700 different combinations, this book is the perfect item for bibiophiles, lexicographers, writers, and any lover of words. Here are a few examples of words and definitions you can put together: whisper + umbrella = whisbrella: A low sibilan utterance for sheltering one from rain and sun. banana + onomatopoeia = bananpoeia: A large herbaceous perennial tropical plant that bears fruit imitating the sound of the thing or action signified. muffin + tyrant = muffrant: A quick bread made of batter unrestrained by law or constitution. nomenclature + ancestry = nomencestry: A system or set of names for things derived from, or possessed by, an ancestor or ancestors.”

Yataghan from the Court of Suleyman the Magnificent

Workshop of Ahmed Tekelü (possibly Iranian, active Istanbul, ca. 1520–1530)

Date: circa 1525

Culture: Turkish, Istanbul

Medium: Steel, walrus ivory, gold, silver, rubies, turquoise, pearls

Dimensions: Length overall, 23 3/8 in. (59.3 cm). Length of blade, 18 3/8 in. (46.66 cm)

Exquisite workmanship and lavish use of precious materials distinguish this sword as a princely weapon and exemplifies the opulence and refinement of Ottoman luxury arts. Almost identical to a yatagan (now in the Topkapi Palace, Istanbul) made in 1526–27 by the court jeweler Ahmed Tekel, for the Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66), this sword was undoubtedly made in the same imperial workshop.

The gold incrustation on the blade depicts a combat between a dragon and a phoenix against a background of foliate scrolls. These figures, like the gold-inlaid cloud bands and foliate scrolls on the ivory grips, are Chinese in inspiration, and were probably introduced into Ottoman art through contacts with Persia. 

This sword is one of the earliest known yatagans, distinctly Turkish weapons characterized by a double-curved blade and a hilt without a guard. Yatagans were commonplace in Turkey and the Balkans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and served as sidearms for the elite troops known as janissaries.
