Putting him back into timeout.
Another illuminated manuscript drawing meant to depict the battle and banishment of a green-headed beast, by some otherwordly saint in blue.
In reality is it just Pandemonium back on his bs, while a very tired Blue Devil snaps him back to Erythraea for timeout.

♕ Prince x Knight Stimboard ♘ for Anon
x x x / x x x / x x x
[Image description: a 9 gif stimboard; from left to right.
First line: A gif of a knight in medieval style armour turning and riding past on their horse. A gif of a man holding someone's hand and kissing their gold ring and finger before looking up adoringly. And a gif panning over a Persian illustrated manuscript with blue and gold.
Second line: A gif of panning over a throne room/hall in Dover Castle with red curtains and tapestries, one a large red tapestry with a gold lion and two thrones on a raised platform in front. A close-up gif of two men sitting in bed and the one in knight-garb reaching over to gently clasp the arm of the other (a small portion of a gold royal lion on the back of the bed can be seen). And a gif of a gold and jeweled crown spinning, the light glinting on it.
Third line: A gif panning over a Persian illustrated manuscript with blue and gold. A gif of a knight being knighted, the king in front of where he is kneeling tapping his shoulder with a sword that glints brightly in the light. And a gif of a knight on a horse with a lance riding away from the camera.
End of image description.]

(more phone wallpaper stories)
Before I got a smartphone, I had a BlackBerry, and I pulled the wallpaper for my phone from the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, a book of hours that includes a beautifully illustrated calendar. I would rotate through the calendar paintings as the year progressed.

I'd like to introduce you to LJS 57, a compendium of Astronomical text in Hebrew, written in Spain around 1391. It's an interesting combination of astronomy and astrology, and illustrates how the division between "science" and "not science" was not nearly so clear in the past as it is today. It has some fantastic illustrations of constellations!
