Army n'Languages n' Stuff

I'm just a nerdy American with an unhealthy love of Eastern Europe. I mostly blog about history, languages, writing, video games and other assorted nonsense. Big lover of Romance and Slavic languages.

what i like about this is that the people seem just. unthreatened. they are responding to these nightgaunt looking motherfuckers as if they were a particularly rambunctious opossum. “oh god damn the shadow entity stole our ball again what the fuck dude we’re trying to play horse.” perfect, i love it.

Please, do yourselves a favour and click the link.  The above pictures are just a selection from an excellent collection, and the artist sells prints of them.

Celebrate the holidays with a benign eldritch monstrosity.
