In better news, I am pleased to report that JGY had THEE cutest little fancy outfit for Jin Ling's one-month celebration:

It's sparkly! It's ornate yet classy! "Aww man," I thought, "since the celebration isn't going to happen thanks to murder that he facilitated, it's a shame he's not going to get to wear this look again. :("

BUT THEN!

Here he is, rolling up to the Nightless City Pledge Conference in the same outfit with a white mourning sash added! Is this because he's not considered a real family member and thus doesn't rate full mourning attire? Maybe, but on the bright side, he gets to show off his party outfit.

#he's like that one Vine about going out while looking cute #'Y'ALL GONNA SEE ME TODAY! Y'ALL GONNA SEE ME!'#jin guangyao #this is the ONE outfit anyone wears in that pale ivory gold that I don't hate #otherwise all the Jins look super washed out #JGS is right about exactly one thing and it's the dark vibrant gold that he wears instead

I’m usually not someone who wants to buy a new printing of a book just because it has a different cover but the Temeraire art by Rovina Cai has me so tempted!

There is even spine cover art for the entire collection!

This series remains one of my favorites and I implore everyone to read these wonderful books! Dragon riders in the Napoleonic wars, with rich cultures from around the world, intense battle scenes, dragons arguing for fair rights and pay, and more!

Goddess or Priestess

Minoan, 16th century BCE or early 20th century (Late Minoan or modern)

This statuette closely resembles the ceramic and faience examples found in the sanctuary known as the “Pillar Shrine” in the Minoan palace of Knossos on the island of Crete. Many of these objects are identified as priestesses or goddesses and are associated with fertility, painting the picture of a matriarchal Cretan society. However, current research suggests that most of the gold and ivory statuettes were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, the idea of a Mother Goddess (now discredited by scholars) was popular in archaeological circles.

Dagger with inlaid Griffin,

Knossos, Crete, Greece. 1450-1375 BC.

Bronze, ivory, gold and silver.

“It is a short copper sword, 40 cm long. It has an elephant apple and an elephant-lined handle, which has been fixed with gold-plated silks. The sword has an insert decoration of a sitting flu with open gold wings on both sides.

This is the technique of ink insert decoration, formerly called niello and with it the famous Mycenaian Greek textbooks have been manufactured.The insert trim was done inside a cut, which followed the outline of the copper alloy-based fluoride by applying gold and silver foil to the shaped surface of the sword... "

( an interview with Dr. Athanasia Kanda with the theme: "The City of Knososos, a "timeless" center of worship. "

ivory thought it’d be smart to spend her signing bonus on scoping out the talent of the chefs she’d be working alongside: she didn’t like any of the food, but maybe it was just because her gourmet cooking skill isn’t too high… ⛓️

it's difficult to apply common fandom tropes to Gabv1el on account of how their meet cute went, but I keep thinking about how an Arranged Marriage AU would go:

Probably something along the lines of how, during the New Peace, Mankind guns for Heaven and its infinite resources rather than excavate in Hell, thus begins the long-belated Space Race. Heaven and its Council don't give a shit until they figure out how to reach and subsequently terraform the Fourth Sphere. War starts, but humanity has an edge in not only numbers but also technology, nevermind that there are human souls in the solar system Spheres that are sick of how the Council and higher angels are running things.

Fast-forward to the point where humanity starts making ground towards the edges of the Eighth Sphere and then the peace talks began. Part of that includes a marriage between mortal and divine. Gabriel, brightest of Heaven and one of the few higher angels who actually gives a shit about the mortal plight, is chosen as Heaven's representative. The Council is banking on Gabriel well outliving his mortal spouse and then having a massive political advantage via the prenuptial agreement, while Gabriel just wants to be a good husband for as long as his spouse is alive.

But instead of sending a super important leader figure or extremely wealthy mortal, Mankind digs up their deadliest machine from the Final War era, pretties them up, gives them the mission directive of ensuring they outlive their angelic husband, and then arming them to the metaphorical teeth.

And then I actually can't think of anything beyond Gabriel getting extremely offended upon first meeting, insults ensue throughout their shaky courtship until V1 kicks his ass, and then Gabe almost consummates their marriage prematurely as a result. Also the whole thing just being framed as a pulpy space opera because why the fuck not.

#Whenever I envision Heaven in the ULTRAKILL universe I keep landing on those floating cities from old 70's sci-fi art #except with a very boring palette of gold and ivory with blue accents rather than a whole spectrum of vibrant colors #Anywhosen Gabe still kills the Council but it's on the day of his wedding and he gets married covered in blood #V1 falls in love instantly #ADDENDUM: I meant to type Fifth Sphere not Fourth. Fourth is the sun and Fifth is Mars #also would it be too much if there were also mechs in this AU too?#Giant angel fighting mechs that can withstand the cold of space and adapt to the different conditions of the various Heavenly Spheres
