#stone altar

[thesoulspulse]

I’ve got this really cool concept for the next chapter of “Nevermore” in my head so I thought I’d try to do it justice by making a visual representation of it.

The main part of the idea is the feathers that burn like candles but the Blood Blossoms are important too since they are a physical representation of the power inside a Necromancer’s blood to naturally repel ghosts. The blue flames are a manifestation of their souls so when the Blood Blossoms turn white that means they’ve been cleansed and won’t actively harm any ghost that comes near them...

But they do still have the power to ward against any with ill intentions. After all, a Necromancer’s power is meant to be used to help the lost souls of the dead as well purify the darkness lingering in their hearts so they can’t be turned into a Wraith. A soulless creature that is evil personified.

Went around exploring. Visited an old rural cerimonial altar

There were lots of bronze age tombs all around, and most importantly many huge rocks with moss on them. More than you could count-

I love living in a world that's massively more ancient than I could even comprehend and being able to physically touch mementos from ancestors that thousands of years ago probably felt this same awe for this scenery as i do today.

another updated altar photo! i managed to get my Lord Zeus statue back on my tiny, tiny shelf and i’m so happy that i lit two blue candles for Him. i also took off my spirit board because she needs rest from being the foundation of so much energy. i added my greek alphabet oracle stones and my runes. i also added my stack of tarot that i draw my daily card from so i always spend time with my altar everyday. it’s nice having all of my divination methods on my altar now (pelduim, oracle, tarot, and runes) and im excited i’ll be able to spend yule without worrying about school since classes end two weeks before the 21st!

I love showing the image of christ in Amiens cathedral as a perfect example of just how well medieval sculptures actually mastered perspective even though we've been convinced its just a bunch of cavemen discovering perspective as if people did not have eyes

its so funny. homeboylooks clunky as hell. big ass torso and eeny tiny legs and feet. thing is, this is in a very high part of the portal

its all the way up there. so sculptors knew damn well you weren't supposed to see it up close, at eye level. Hell, they believed that would never come to happen. so this clunky christ suddenly becomes

perfectly proportionate from the right perspective

#its so fascinating #stone altars from the 15th and 16th century in portugal show the same #its such an amazing trick #and one of those we wouldnt be able to see unless we had like a drone #or looked at pics #cause this was never meant to be seen this way!!!

I finally got my own copy of Secret of the Scarlet Hand and started playing it for the first time since my library stopped checking out computer games years ago. And wow I forgot how bad this museum is.

If you can't use stairs you can't see the museum.

There are no handrails or guardrails anywhere.

You have to be able to both read the signs and listen to the audio guide in order to get all the information.

Half the artifacts aren't labeled at all.

The only water fountain I've seen is behind the employees only door.

There are apparently no restrooms.

It's dimly lit meaning that it's hard to read the signs or look at the artifacts.

There's only one place to play each game, and you need to play each game to progress through the museum, which definitely causes backups.

What if a computer goes down?

The maze game would probably be a challenge for people like my dad who get motion sick.

There are no fire exits and half the pyramid relies on keycards to move on. In a fire, going all the way back up from the bottom just to go back down would be really time consuming.

Somebody's gonna accidentally leave their kid stuck on the wrong floor of the pyramid, I just know it.

There's not even any doors leading outside besides the front door and the loading dock. There should be an emergency exit in the garden at least.

The stairs where you need to use a glow stick to see are an accident waiting to happen. On my play-through Nancy DID fall down those stairs.

There's probably other things I've forgotten and I'm sure I'm not the first to point any of this out but seriously what is this museum but a problem waiting to happen?

#Also is it me or are there Aztec altar stones carved into the floor? That's not Maya. #Nancy Drew #Secret of the Scarlet Hand

He may have been rejected, humiliated, heartbroken, and so alarmed about an imminent invasion that he thought the reason of the state demanded that he rush and botch the funeral... Still, I can't imagine he didn't take at least one moment to say goodbye to his friend.

💙We'll Build This House on Stone (Altars)

By:FluffyHippogriff

Summary:

Maybe, just maybe, Wei Wuxian shouldn't have looked for an abandoned temple in the dead of night.

Maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't have broken in and invoked the name of the ancient god supposedly residing in said temple.

And maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't have kept coming back to socialize.

I'm feeling sorry for them, they were on vacation😅

cannot risk you reneging on the agreement,” Lan Wangji calmly stated. “Our deal has been struck in such a way that, if you attempt to break it, your life will be forfeit.” Wei Wuxian’s blood ran cold. He knew the god was powerful. He knew that Lan Wangji’s moral compass might not line up with his own, but this? This forced bondage was…cruel. “Do not despair,” Lan Wangji commanded without an ounce of comfort in his tone. He kneeled in front of Wei Wuxian, easily encroaching on the other’s personal space as though he belonged there. “The same restrictions bind me. Should I forsake you, I will die where I stand.” “Why?!” Wei Wuxian demanded, glaring at the ground as hot tears welled in his eyes. “Why did you have to go this far?! Why couldn’t you just trust me?” Lan Wangji reached out and grasped Wei Wuxian’s chin, tilting his head back and forcing their eyes to meet. “Because I have waited centuries for someone like you, Wei Ying,” he stated, as though the answer should have been obvious. “I am not so foolish to think I’d be blessed with the same luck a second time. This is to protect me, not debase you.”

~~Deleted scene 2: Bichen: Remember, what are we going to do when we see WWX? LWJ: Use words to express honest feelings. Bichen: Correct. *two hours later* LWJ: I have used my powers to forcefully bind my life to his. I am certain he will draw the correct conclusions from these actions. Bichen: *attempts to pass away through sheer force of will*

~~

Wei Wuxian moved closer, then reached forward and touched one, prompting a quick inhalation from Lan Wangji. He stopped, but couldn’t quite bring himself to remove his hands. “Is this-” “Look,” was all Lan Wangji said. Wei Wuxian fell silent and placed his hands above and below one of the more prominent lines beneath Lan Wangji’s neck, pulling the skin taut so that the characters might be made legible. ‘Unbridled charity is forbidden.’ This repeated over and over, the characters scarcely bigger than Wei Wuxian’s smallest fingernail and frighteningly cold to the touch. Heart hammering in his chest, Wei Wuxian’s fingers moved to another line, this one bulging outwards and the characters not only repeating themselves straight down, but also written in double rows. ‘Harming humans within sacred spaces is forbidden.’ Another line, this one long and so thin Wei Wuxian had to lean in and squint to make out the characters. ‘Unnecessary touch is forbidden.’ Wei Wuxian’s stomach bottomed out at the edict, recalling a conversation he’d had with Lan Wangji in Yunmeng ages ago. These were more than mere words; the Gusu Lan sect had scarred their rules into Lan Wangji’s back. Line, after line, after line. Biting his lip, Wei Wuxian’s fingers ran over the length and breadth of Lan Wangji’s back, manipulating the skin this way and that until he could read each and every rule that had been so damnably important to Lan Ai and the ancient Elders that they’d been permanently pressed into Lan Wangji’s flesh. There were rules on conduct, and bestowing his blessings, and even the rule against dealing with emperors that Wangji had mentioned to Wei Wuxian before. But the biggest scar, the one which practically bisected Lan Wangji’s spinal column and was carved so deeply into him that Wei Wuxian marveled it hadn’t slice through ribs and vertebrae below, was the line which read, ‘Always honor and act in service of the Gusu Lan sect.’ There were thirty-seven lines in all,

~~

Lan Wangji’s robes were retied, his hair was brushed back over his shoulders, and he turned back around in his seat. “Do you understand?” he inquired simply. “Those are your rules,” Wei Wuxian stated, and the grim look on Lan Wangji’s face was all the confirmation he needed. “The limitations you’ve told me about. I didn’t know…I didn’t realize they were physically imprinted on you. Can you tell me why?” “Our relationship with the Gusu Lan sect became strained, largely because my lord preferred to travel and render assistance wherever he found chaos instead of staying in Cloud Recesses at the Elders’ beck and call,” Wangji explained. “Tensions grew to such a point that the Grandmaster and Sect Leader themselves demanded concessions from us. Displays to prove that we were loyal to the Gusu Lan sect and their rules.” “And you gave in?” Wei Wuxian incredulously asked. “You let them…I don’t even know what they’ve done to you! Why?!” “Peace,” Lan Wangji succinctly replied. “The sect wasn’t alone with their concerns,” Wangji elaborated. “Many other contemporary cultivation sects began to fear Hanguang-Jun’s power, and worried that he might turn against the sect heads or disrupt politics on a greater scale. They demanded our sect take action, and-OH!” Wangji lunged forward then, and Wei Wuxian’s attention drifted from her to Lan Wangji. To his shock, the god was bent forward at the waist, hands fisted in his lap and head bowed forward in a clear display of pain. Wei Wuxian gaped as the muscles of Lan Wangji’s back seemed to bunch up and flatten themselves over and over, as though something was physically writhing beneath the skin, undulating like eels wriggling and flailing in shallow waters. Wangji was at his side before Wei Wuxian could even extend a hand, and her fretting was more than enough to cover for both of them. “My lord, forgive me, I should have chosen my words more carefully!” “The rest,” Lan Wangji grunted out. Wangji startled. “What?” “Speak. Quickly.” And Wangji, to her credit, heeded his command and finished her explanation so rapidly Wei Wuxian could hardly parse the words. “They made up new restrictions, a new one every few years or so, and bound him body and soul to the rules with Bichen and myself as well, that way they could promise the other sects no harm would-” A snapping pop cut through the air then, and Wangji’s left arm abruptly twisted itself backwards and up at the elbow, as though something had forcibly dislocated the joint. “Stop, stop!” Wei Wuxian begged, blood pounding in his ears as his eyes looked from the tortured form of Lan Wangji to Wangji’s maimed arm and back again. “I understand, it’s enough, I get it!” “Oh dear,” Wangji remarked, looking at her broken arm as though it was a foreign object that had somehow lodged itself into her body. “That will take some time to repair.” She seemed all right, or at least stable by Wei Wuxian’s assessment, but Lan Wangji had yet to straighten back up

Wei Wuxian scurried forward and bent down to look at the god’s face, eyes widening when he saw that Lan Wangji’s jaw was tensed hard enough to crack teeth, even though the unnatural contortions of his flesh had ceased. “Lan Zhan, say something! Are you ok? What do you need me to do??” Lan Wangji didn’t answer, didn’t so much as make eye contact with Wei Wuxian. It was enough to make Wei Wuxian wonder if the god had even heard him at all. A lifetime later, the tension finally bled out of his body, and he was able to bring himself upright again. His face was as blank as ever; had Wei Wuxian not been sitting so close, he’d never suspect the agony Lan Wangji had so recently experienced. “Now you know.” “What happened?!” “I must honor the sect,” Lan Wangji explained. “Discussing such secretive dealings is damaging to their reputation.” Wei Wuxian could scarcely believe what he was hearing. It wasn’t enough to take Lan Wangji’s freedom, they’d also made the rules so arbitrary and all-encompassing that Lan Wangji could violate them simply by speaking the truth?! And with such a harsh physical burden as well. No wonder Lan Wangji had been tight-lipped in divulging his history. “That’s what you meant by I haven’t fulfilled my end of our bargain, isn’t it?” Wei Wuxian asked. “So long as you’re still bound by those rules and the consequences of violating them, you’re under your sect’s thumb.” “Correct.” Lan Wangji averted his eyes then, and quietly asked, “Please forgive my secrecy.” Wei Wuxian wanted to laugh. He wanted to scream. He wanted to go back to Cloud Recesses and drop the entirety of Back Mountain on Lan Ai’s head. How could they do this? It wasn’t enough to tell the world Lan Wangji would only act for justice, would follow the edicts of his own sect as well as any other noble cultivator?

sorry for regional british talk but i was watching a tv program which used stonehenge as part of a Bit about people from the west country (long story) and just. do people not know where stonehenge is. is my prehistoric monuments special interest showing. is wiltshire actually part of the west country now. do people use 'west country' and 'southwest' interchangeably. why am i still thinking about this

(for americans, imagine people doing a Bit about new england and including atlantic city)

#fun stonehenge fact they thought the huge altar stone in the middle came from wales like the bluestones #so they did some analysis to try and figure out which of the deposits it was mined from #and it didnt match any of them! six ton stone! we have no idea where it came from! very new very cool we live in an era of wonders
