Happy international women's day to all women tall or short, thick or thin, cis or trans!

Reblogging this again because some people hate it when you include transgender women in International Women's Day and I've had to block a few wretches.

Unfollow me if you feel that way, return to your fetid warren.

Song of the Worm

Cook, Eliza (1818 - 1889)

THE worm, the rich worm, has a noble domain

In the field that is stored with its millions of slain;

The charnel-grounds widen, to me they belong,

With the vaults of the sepulchre, sculptured and strong.

The tower of ages in fragments is laid,

Moss grows on the stones, and I lurk in its shade;

And the hand of the giant and heart of the brave

Must turn weak and submit to the worm and the grave.

Daughters of earth, if I happen to meet

Your bloom-plucking fingers and sod-treading feet--

Oh! turn not away with the shriek of disgust

From the thing you must mate with in darkness and dust.

Your eyes may be flashing in pleasure and pride,

'Neath the crown of a Queen or the wreath of a bride;

Your lips may be fresh and your cheeks may be fair--

Let a few years pass over, and I shall be there.

Cities of splendour, where palace and gate,

Where the marble of strength and the purple of state;

Where the mart and arena, the olive and vine,

Once flourished in glory; oh! are ye not mine?

Go look for famed Carthage, and I shall be found

In the desolate ruin and weed-covered mound;

And the slime of my trailing discovers my home,

'Mid the pillars of Tyre and the temples of Rome.

I am sacredly sheltered and daintily fed

Where the velvet bedecks, and the white lawn is spread;

I may feast undisturbed, I may dwell and carouse

On the sweetest of lips and the smoothest of brows.

The voice of the sexton, the chink of the spade,

Sound merrily under the willow's dank shade.

They are carnival notes, and I travel with glee

To learn what the churchyard has given to me.

Oh! the worm, the rich worm, has a noble domain,

For where monarchs are voiceless I revel and reign;

I delve at my ease and regale where I may;

None dispute with the worm in his will or his way.

The high and the bright for my feasting must fall--

Youth, Beauty, and Manhood, I prey on ye all:

The Prince and the peasant, the despot and slave;

All, all must bow down to the worm and the grave.

Live. Laugh. Longsword.

you might be stronger than just me, but you’re not stronger than me and a sword!

ORC FACTS

lorbish can photosynthesize

[chaussurre]

The leading theory as to why orcs are green is that it helps them hide in their natural habitat: amongst other orcs.

[tim-official]

ORC FACTS

ohhhhhhhhhhhh that makes sense

Decorative Armour Set by Bard Baitman

Personal work + research sketches ✦~✦~✦~✦ This is the portrait of a legendary mercenary and folk hero. Centuries ago, she was hired by a small town to end its subjugation to the local princeship. The prince’s yearly tournament included a grand cash prize for the winner, and along with the town’s pool of money - they intended to buy their independence from their inept and disinterested ruler. The whole town came together to assemble the warrior’s armour: the veteran smith created a simple armour set for her; the craftspeople decorated it with meaningful drawings in the local decorative style, telling the story of the townsfolk’s escalation from peace with the authorities, to the aggressive sentiments that lead to their quest for independence. ✦~✦~✦~✦
