2022💀🌿.
His name is Moss and he's a knight who did bad things while he was alive and was cursed by the faeries after his death. Now he's a servant of the fey who uses his fighting skills to protect the weak magical creatures of the woods 🌿
He likes to sit on rocks for a long time and walk slowly around the forest dragging his weapon on the ground. Most birds think that he's some kind of statue and of course he's a nicer person now 🌱
To spend eternity with you.
went on a first date but she didn’t make eye contact with me
Dudes being pals. Birthday gift, fineliners and markers on cotton paper.
Happy Birthday Shireen Abu Akleh
Your legacy lives forever. You will be avenged. Your Palestine will be free.
[image description: two photos of palestinian-american journalist shireen abu akleh. in the first, she is wearing a blue press vest while standing outside somewhere with grass behind her and smoke rising in the air. in the second, she is inside holding a white frosted cake that that says "press" with a blue background and her name in silver, along with a microphone made of frosting.]
Shireen Abu Akleh (1971 – 2022) was a prominent Palestinian-American journalist who worked as a reporter for 25 years for Al Jazeera, before she was killed by an Israeli soldier while wearing a blue press vest and covering a raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The IOF deliberately shot at her and murdered her on May 11, 2022, after which they repeatedly denied it being an intentional attack and refused to launch a criminal investigation. During her funeral, israeli police attacked pallbearers with batons and stun grenades as well as invaded the hospital in which the funeral was held, attacking and wounding patients and medical workers.
Abu Akleh’s funeral was attended by tens of thousands of people, thought to be the largest Palestinian funeral in Jerusalem for over two decades.
On October 28, 2023, an iof bulldozer destroyed the memorial for Abu Akleh in Jenin as well as razed the entire street where she was fatally shot.

some original art i made after disappearing from the face of the (tumblr) earth
"Why do you hate the shape of breasts in plate armor so much?"
Since people often ask “Alright, well this is fantasy! Why can’t we have boob shapes in plate armor?!” I decided to make a post about it. My frustration has nothing to do with historical inaccuracy and I’m all for imagination and freedom— but I’d like to (very quickly) illustrate this for you:
I purposely over-emphasized the shape of the two spheres in the armor so you can really think about this.
Look at the shape of the blue cups and the green line, think about the form of that on some beautiful ornate plate armor. A female warrior is charging into battle. In the midst of this, she trips! Or is pushed over, or takes a blow to the chest! So long as the force is on the front of her torso it really doesn’t matter for the conclusion:
She feels a sharp pain in her chest and hears the cracking of bone! Oh no, what’s gone wrong? Well she doesn’t have time to think about that, because she is now dead.
Her sternum just fractured, take another look at that green line, that’s where all of the pressure from any front impact is going to go because of the shape of the two blue cups made for her breasts. The rest of the armor slides around your body, but because of the two cups for breasts that are often made in fantasy female armors, the pressure point is directly on the sternum. The breasts are not going to stop the force of you falling onto them, and because of that the metal is going to push in and bash you in the sternum.
What does a fractured sternum do? Why it goes right into your heart and lungs of course.
(that was the sound of all of my followers inhaling a sharp breath between closed teeth at once)
Here are three great solutions to the problem:
GREAT EXAMPLE OF FANTASY TORSO ARMOR THAT IS FEMININE BUT FUNCTIONAL:
It is usually possible to bind the breasts when fighting if they really are far too large to fit into regular looking armor (there’s padding anyway), but most women can actually fit into a similarly sized male counterpart’s armor quite easily. Even if that’s the case, the armor can be made to have a curve to it without putting all of the pressure in one area, which was actually a style of armor for quite some time as shown here:
And don’t even get me started on the dreaded “Cleavage Window”
The “Cleavage Window” defeats the purpose of having any armor on your torso because it means you’re just going to be leaving open the vital organs the rest of the armor is trying to protect.
If people are going to protect themselves and not have much torso protection, invest in some blocking lessons, because the best defense is to not get hit at all. There are also advantages to not having plate armor, and plate armor was often really expensive anyway.
ALL OF THE ABOVE
Magnificent.
Can you explain this gap in your blog history
I was employed.
nasa: we're going to shoot three rockets directly at the sun during the total eclipse. for study and research purposes.
me: oh cool
nasa: we have named the rockets apep. this stands for atmospheric perturbations [in the] eclipse path.
me: oh cool
nasa: apep is also the ancient egyptian deity of chaos and darkness, who ceaselessly seeks to extinguish the sun. we launch these rockets directly at the sun in the name of apep.
me: oh... cool?
they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.
I don't have any glasses for the eclipse someone relay it to me when it happens
sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, less sun, no sun :(
more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, more sun, sun again
It's like I'm there
