My blades character Cross Strangford is a 40 year old ex military Hound who is grumpy and stinky and in a gang with a bunch of anime ass 20 year old girls. They all call him old man. The leader of the gang is his deceased boss's daughter and he's kind of decided since he fucked up being in charge of his own life sure this 20 year old rich girl can be in charge of it now. His rival is a mysterious nonbinary bounty hunter called Castra who he can identify by the smell of their favourite cigars and has a demon tail they hide but he can always spot. If my GM isnt careful im going to make them middleaged man yaoi. His vice is eating fine food so he attends an underground black market fine dining club except he hates everyone there and thinks they're weird so eats his meals alone in the backroom like a beast. This week the special food was a cheese toastie (rare delicacy in this city).

Dervorgilla came from Norway and was a stranger in Ireland. She had listened to so many tales about Cú Chulainn that she decided he would have to be her only love. She left Norway accompanied by her maid alone. To accomplish the journey the both changed into swans and flew to Lough Cuan in Ireland. Cú Chulainn and his brother wandered near to Lough Cuan and on seeing the swans they decided to…

Titanic (1997) - dir. James Cameron

Victor Garber as Thomas Andrews, father of the Titanic.

In appearance he made a fine figure, standing nearly six feet high, weighing some two hundred pounds, well-built, straight, with broad shoulders and great physical development. He had dark brown hair, sharp clean-shaven features; you would call him handsome; his brown eyes met yours with a look of the frankest kindliness, and when he gripped your hand he took you, as it were, to himself. Even as you see him in a portrait you feel constrained to exclaim, as many did at first sight of him, “Well, that’s a man!” He had a wonderful ringing laugh, an easy way with him, an Irishman’s appreciation of humour. He was sunny, big-hearted, full of gaiety. He loved to hear a good story, and could tell you one as well as another. He had the luck to be simple in his habits and pleasures, his food, his dress, his tastes. Give him health, plenty of friends, plenty of work, and occasionally some spare hours in which to enjoy a good book (Maeterlinck’s Life of the Bee for preference) and some good music, to go yachting on Strangford Lough, or picnicking at the family bungalow on Braddock Island, or for a long jolly ride with Mrs. Andrews in their little Renault round the Ards Peninsula, and he was thoroughly content. When of a Saturday evening he opened the door, so the servants at Ardara used to say, they like all the rest waiting expectantly for his coming, it was as though a wind from the sea swept into the house. All was astir. His presence filled the place. Soon you would hear his father’s greeting, “Well, my big son, how are you?” and thereafter, for one more week’s end, it was in Ardara as though the schoolboy was home for a holiday. You would hear Tom’s voice and laugh through the house and his step on the stairs; you would see him, gloved and veiled, out working among his bees, scampering on the lawn with the children, or playing with the dog, or telling many a good story to the family circle. Everyone loved him—everyone. - Sandra F. Bullock, Thomas Andrews: Shipbuilder

[napoleonic-sexyman-tournament]

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

Some years later... another art dump for our Blades in the Dark campaign (see inspo blog @gatecrashed for more context)... because I got COVID (FOUR YEAR STREAK BROKEN) and had soup for brains except as concerned ridiculous lineart. From left to right and top to bottom: 1) Our first major backstory/historical NPC, Barnabas Lowrie, a sexy clown pirate magician born on the day the sun broke (or, you know, around there. close to that date. PR is everything in the pirate line).

2) A truly wretched family dinner ft @catchaspark's PC Aphra Chesky; redeemed* arc 1 antagonist Perceval Rowan; immortal naysayer Cormac Winter; and his granddaughter, Phoebe, attempting to transcend this mortal plane the more traditional way.

3) An in-universe photograph of Malcolm Strangford, fearless leader of the Whaler's Rebellion against the Immortal Empire, bleeding out in a greenhouse at 7:03 PM. He is survived accompanied by his aide, Jonathan MacRae.

4) An NPC whose name we don't know inspects the detached leg of a member of the automaton hivemind Cerberus.

5) Imperial automaton Antlion offers young Alienor Crenher an unsolicited workshop critique.
