Some consolation

Pieces of Viking pottery with traces of cat and dog paws, seen at the Musée de Normandie in Caen Castle

“So back in the day pets already ruined their owner’s artwork.” - My sis who took the photo

[tharook]

“ruined”? made better

[gabbypie64]

It’s very humanizing to imagine some poor potter in the past screaming “nnnnooooooo bad kitty” somewhere in Scandinavia

[wbicepuppy]

If it was ruined, the artisan wouldn’t have baked it.

[pumpkin-bread]

That’s… that’s a delightful point you just made.

This person chose to bake and keep their cat’s artistic contribution.

Just listen to the lyrics...

I think medieval music is incredibly interesting.

People were very creative.

Some teutonic stuff ™

@vonjungingen You gave me Jagiełło, I give you Ulrich. 

[vonjungingen]

Thank u, my teutonic friend

[vonjungingen]

@beidak

Something special, specially for u

I don't know what's going on, this blog should be about knighthood, actually is not.

But we have handsome Jagiełło.

@beidak

"Wielki Mistrz, Ulryk von Jungingen, wzywa twój majestat, Panie, i księcia Witolda, na bitwę śmiertelną. I aby męstwo wasze, którego wam widać brakuje, podnieść, śle wam te dwa nagie miecze."

[Some quote from Henryk Sienkiewicz' book "Krzyżacy". Absolutely recommended, it's a school lecture in Poland XD]
