heya, folks !  so in case you’re not aware, this blog is pretty much inactive at this point. i won’t be deleting it because i’m really rather fond of some shit i’ve done on here, and i always like to entertain the possibility i could come back. but the queue was running for a while, and that ran out, and the last time i did actual rp on here was about two buttfucks ago. 

i’ve apparently got messages still on here, but i feel like answering them after a month is sort of shitty. anything on here i haven’t/won’t see(n). if you have a question about something, i’ll answer it over here. off anon is preferable so i can answer privately, but hey. whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it’s not some big secret thing, and i’m certainly not trying to hide past muses, so if anyone’s dragon age inclined, i’ve got an dirty trash mage over here. but shit’s busy as dicks what with my final year of university, so just keep that in mind.

there’s quite a lot i could say about the tolkien rp community, but the good far outweighs the bad in 99% of cases. you’re all incredibly lovely and talented and so very helpful, but the fact of the matter is that after seeing bofa and the way it was handled, i just sort of ???? had all the muse sucked out of me. idk. circle of life, i inevitably change muses after certain points, ect. if you understand, thank you heaps.

Kindjal Dagger

Dated: 20th Century

Culture: Georgian

Measurements: Blade: 13 1/8” length. With Scabbard: 18 3/4” length

The scabbard bears Georgian makers marks and is dated 1901

This rare and wonderful Russian Kindjal dagger served as both an essential side arm and a fashion accessory. The hilt, grip and scabbard mounts, are decorated in fine niello inlay and gold gilt. This particular Kindjal dates to the early 20th century, a very turbulent time in Imperial Russia, and the Kindjal became more important than ever for personal protection. Due to its double-edged, broad blade design, the Kindjal was well suited as a close combat weapon. 

Such artistically executed Kindjals were an integral part of the traditional Russian dress that originated with the Eastern Slavic Cossack peoples, a segment of the Caucasus, who were known for their impeccable military skills. The Cossacks migrated from areas of Georgia and southern Russia to escape religious and political persecution, and banded together in small settlements for protection.

Under the Tsars, the Cossacks were allowed great autonomy in exchange for military service and protection of the Russian frontier regions. Many of their customs of dress and weaponry, including the Kindjal, were accepted by mainstream culture. Even the Tsars were known to wear the traditional long black robe with the Kindjal worn on the side, an ensemble which is still worn by Cossacks today.

Mt Assiniboine, British Columbia, Canada.

This is an image from a spot I have been wanting to get to for years. This is an image is Mount Assiniboine from up on the nub. I stayed here a couple of days and shot this scene in all times of the day.
