Do you think there are people that incorporate their signatures into drawings? For example, here's a drawing of a bird using Greek minuscule writing of Ἑλενη (forgive the bad attempt at minuscule lol)

Two eyes clearly fit where the ε's are, and a beak where λ is. I'm sure there are other options as well. I think everyone should try this and experiment with various scripts for extra ideas.

The two gorgeous covers that encased the psalter belonging to Baldwin IV’s grandmother, Queen Melisende of Jerusalem.

The Melisende Psalter may only be the size of a modern paperback, but it features rich gold illuminations inside and was originally enclosed in a binding of two beautiful carved ivory panels decorated with turquoises and garnets that make it one of the most precious surviving artefacts from the war-torn Crusader kingdoms.

The upper cover (left) shows scenes from the life of David along with battles between the virtues and vices, accompanied by Latin inscriptions. The lower cover (right) is designed after a passage in the Gospel of Matthew:

‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

It depicts emperors clothed in different garments of Byzantine fashion performing acts of mercy. The bird labelled ‘Herodius’ at the top of the cover may be a reference to the man who possibly commissioned the book: King Fulk of Jerusalem, Melisende’s husband. In Bestiary tradition, the biblical herodius was equivalent to the fulica (coot).

for the nth time, you're only a true shaman if you were born with teeth OR with extra fingers OR in the sac. the rest of you are faking & we can tell.

🦅szél-könnyű-szárnyán-szállj Follow

okay people keep spreading this but this is literally just wrong?? like congrats on the 6 fingers op im glad u and Little Golden Father have a special connection (genuinely) but like. táltos and sámán and mágus and garabonciás and javas etc are all different things with completely different requirements and life paths which you should definitely know if you're claiming to be one?? especially since your post says shaman but you're listing the criteria for a táltos, and your username looks like a play on garabonciás so. which is it🤔 maybe get your facts in order before trying to gatekeep

anyway don't listen to op!! your connection to the Upper World is yours alone and you're the best judge of what the Fathers and Mothers want your path in life to be!!

It breaks my heart that the majority of my people still refuse to see the One True God and insist on sticking to their pagan spirits. I fear that when judgement day comes, we will all be wiped out thanks to their foul godless ways.

There lived a certain man

In Puglia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a fiery glow

Most Greeks just looked at him

With terror and with fear

But to Frankish chicks he was such a lovely dear

He would pillage Balkans like a pirate

Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also had the kind of spirit

Cath'lics would desire

Bo-Bo-Bohemond, the new prince of Antioch

Went from bastard to having his own throne

Bo-Bo-Bohemond, lover of Byzantine gold

It's a shame he left the others on their own

Things I wanna work on for Krivicians when I'm freed from my torment nexus:

• Relations with the Jewish community in the PLC - I think their dynamic could be really interesting as longstanding religious minorities and petty bourgeois (although I don't know the details of social dynamics in the PLC yet). I'm kind of rethinking Krivicians' historical class dynamics because I want their economic activities to look natural in their region of Eastern Europe. I originally made a significant minority among them bourgeois so their intelligentsia could push for Krivician identity and independence (with varying levels of success) later, but I don't wanna just say “they were merchants lol”. Considering my original draft, Krivicians were largely agricultural, which means they were allowed to hold land (although I'm not sure if they would have been allowed in post-baptism Rus), so I don't think there'd be that big of a push towards other professions in that case... IDK I'd love to ponder on this when I'm not being tortured. I wonder if Sicily might give me inspiration. (guy who knows 1 region voice). Although in that case Muslims mostly lived in villages compared to urbanised Normans. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

• Dialects - I'd been working on dialects and they're still not terribly different from each other outside of some sound changes which may not even be visible depending on the text. It should be easier with transitional dialects because half of the job was already done for me by IRL languages lmao but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to keep and what to remove for better gradients.

• Fix my CK2 mod. Like bro it's literally just adding 1 culture... which consists of only names pretty much. Why won't you WORK!!!!!!!!!

• Religion - add (possible) pagan elements. It's difficult because the Hijri calendar is lunar so it moves from year to year which means previous folk celebrations can't be neatly tied to Muslim celebrations. Only Veles fits nicely with Aždahar, the others... ehhhhhh

• Finish my grammatical sketch!

Also I wanna draw them with other characters like friends' OCs or in a crossover like they're a real ethnic group that definitely exist 👍 And maybe create things that make it feel more grounded like idk fake covers of translated books and Wikipedia pages and if I wasn't shy about voice acting then dubbing a SpongeBob episode or any TV show clip because IM INSANEEEEEEEE ABOUT THEM THEY LIVE IN MY HEAD RENT FREEEEEEE

I wish I could be more impulsive even if it might end in disaster like wake up one day and think hmm I'm gonna cross the border today and then sit on a random bus get to the border pass through checkpoints and do whatever lost tourists do in a city with barely any money. With no one stopping me or judging me. And then come back except I should do it on a weekday cuz the lines get crazy on the weekend. My irresponsible summer adventure when.

[tomirida]

I cannot tell you how I long to do this. I have insane social anxiety (unfortunately my near death experience didn't cure it) but I wanna experience this kind of freedom. I want to be on my own. I wanna take walks in the city where nobody knows me I want to hear other languages on the street I want to visit an old building I used to live in I wanna go into stores just to look at things I wanna go to the movies in another country for no reason I wanna sit in the park and think wow nobody even knows I'm a rando here or maybe they know and don't care because there are so many like me and I wanna wanna wanna
