For those who missed it this morning, we solved the mystery of what was on Benjamin's necklaces. We've long known about the ankh (an ancient Egyptian symbol meaning life or eternal life), but we've discovered the other pendant is an Agadez Cross, a type of Saharan Berber jewelry made especially by the Tuareg people of Niger. They vary in design but the above example is nearly a perfect match for Benjamin's.

So-called "Ivory of Shapash" (North-Semitic Sun Goddess)
Origin: Syro-Phoenician, ca. 8th century BCE
Found in palace of Ashurnasirpal II
Nimrud, Iraq (Assyria)
(Met Museum 59.107.7, Pub Domain, Enhanced)
Built by the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II, the palaces and storerooms of Nimrud housed thousands of pieces of carved ivory. Most of the ivories served as furniture inlays or small precious objects such as boxes. While some of them were carved in the same style as the large Assyrian reliefs lining the walls of the Northwest Palace, the majority of the ivories display images and styles related to the arts of North Syria and the Phoenician city-states. Phoenician style ivories are distinguished by their use of imagery related to Egyptian art, such as sphinxes and figures wearing pharaonic crowns, and the use of elaborate carving techniques such as openwork and colored glass inlay. North Syrian style ivories tend to depict stockier figures in more dynamic compositions, carved as solid plaques with fewer added decorative elements. However, some pieces do not fit easily into any of these three styles.

Skytheron
Abilities: Aeroblade Increases the critical hit ratio of its flying-type moves.
Metal Fortress Reduces damage from Steel and Rock-type moves.
Description: Skytheron soars as the emperor of the skies in the Shinwamon world. With wingspan wide enough to cast shadows over entire villages, it embodies the power of the winds and the unyielding nature of steel. The icy blue and sharp orange accents on its body signify the dual chill of the high altitude and the searing focus of its steel-clad talons. Legends say that Skytheron was born from the heart of a dying star, and its flight paths often mirror the constellations. Its presence in the sky is a blessing for the worthy and a harbinger of awe for all who gaze upon it.

Anybody else think it was lazy design wise as how they just rehashed costumes from Bayonetta 2 in the 3rd game?
like with China!Bayonetta they just took the red version of the silk dress and added junk to it and like why the fuck is French!Rosa wearing like a Harley Quinn version of the Robes of Banishment?? Like did they forget that was her prison outfit or??
This game took how long to make? And they couldn’t think of anything new for these versions?

ms birbs, what do u think of moonknight?
i dunno, besties
when you're spoiled with the art and vision of the 2016 comic run, it's hard to sit back and see this story fit the hyper-real mcu style. :/
i truly don't think moon knight was really meant for screens, but kevin feige loves money and disney is always eager to add another name to it's copyrighted material roster, so here we are.
i mean, i'm a new moon knight lover — within the last three months i've read majority of the comic runs. so, yea, i already have some preconceived grievances with the first episode.
but! i think the depiction of steven's dissociation was well done — as someone who has sadly been in the "is this real" boat before, i think that oscar nailed the fear, confusion, and attempt to be fine really well.
double but! i think the moon knight cgi costume looks doofy as fuck.
if only disney would pay the unionized practical effect teams to do the lords work, because pixel toilet paper moony will never be my moony (2014)

Yep, another image I've modified with prequel, cause I really enjoy becoming a cartoon 🌟. Especially for Halloween: this year I decided to dress as a modern Cleopatra ✨.
