Auðumbla, a primeval cow from norse mythology

in Ólafur Brynjúlfsson's "Sæmundar og Snorra Edda", an illustrated icelandic manuscript retelling the medieval "prose edda", 1760

source: Copenhagen, Royal Library, NKS 1867 4º, fol. 95r

The Spectator [19th century British magazine] thought that while Stoker made admirable use of “vampirology,” the story might have been better had it been set in an earlier period. “The up-to-dateness of the book—the phonograph, diaries, typewriters, and so on—hardly fits in with the mediaeval methods which ultimately secure the victory for Count Dracula’s foes.”

On the subject that contemporaries thought that Dracula was too up-to-date for a vampire story.

Needless to say, the reviewer missed the whole point.

the reason so many modern ‘feminist’/’gay’ retellings of classic stories or mythology are shit is because no-one wants to actually engage with a work on its own terms anymore. nobody wants to actually analyse and dig into the themes of a work they just want to plaster over it with what they consider self serving and ‘trendy.’ so instead of actually ANALYSING what a myth could say about women, or gay people, or society at the time in general, it just gets rewritten again and again to say what the author wants it to say. braindead fucking culture

#this is why i despise a/g/l #the people who present it as 'LOOK there WERE gays in medieval lit' are like. okay there were gays in medieval lit #and they (drawing from galehaut and lancelot here since that's what i know about) have incredibly important and interesting things to say #about gay love in their time #and about wider trends in society such as courtly love #but nobody wants to actually ENGAGE with those themes and dig into the texts to see what they do actually say #people just want to read something that caters to them perfectly #to elaborate this isn't about people who genuinely enjoy modern interpretations of a/g/l this is about people who claim it is somehow True

now for the dog round!

#the winning three will be enamel pins #I tried to incorporate something from their story into their frames #so Hachiko got the train tracks #Laika got the stara #Togo has a pattern similar to that on his owner's coat #and saint guinefort has the snake scales and a medieval French theme

#(d20 fantasy high s2 voice) your rOmANce pARtNer #they're meant to be like small posters. in style. if that makes sense? it feels like it would be fun! and they're lower in price ($60) #because it's also on a smaller canvas!! #ofc they will not have to be medieval themed. i have a pose reference for this that's two characters lighting up a cigarette together #if you remember my yakuza days. im just saying. i can draw men in suits with questionable morals having a moment shotgunning #smoke or something

for this month’s @steddiemicrofic

prompt: charm ✨ | wc: 548 | rating: T | cw: not actual mcd (‘tis all pretend!), suggestive language

His men are standing behind him, waiting for his signal to attack, but once Steve sees her, he stops dead in his tracks.

Chrissy’s green and white dress is flowing in the wind, the same dress she wore when she got taken away from him. She should be wearing that dress to their wedding, except now it’s dirty and shredded after weeks of captivity. On instinct, Steve’s hand reaches out and so does hers, only for her capturer to hold her even closer to his side.

“Unhand her, you foul beast!” Steve’s voice echoes across the field, even though he knows his begging his hopeless. Words are no use against Eddie the Banished.

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Prince Charming.” Eddie sneers. “We meet at last.”

“Let her go and no one needs to get hurt.” Steve grits through his teeth.

“I’m not letting anyone go until you agree to my terms.” Eddie flashes his eyes as his gloved hand curls around Chrissy’s chin. “Besides, I think she’s warming up to me. Don’t you, princess?”

Chrissy’s response is instant, biting down on Eddie’s hand until he winces and pulls his hand away. Still, the wolfish grin on his face remains. “Feisty. I like ‘em feisty.”

“Unhand her!” Steve yells again.

“If you agree to my terms, you can have your precious little princess back.”

Steve’s nostrils flare and he sees no other option than agreeing with Eddie’s terms. But as soon as he does, Eddie cackles and tightens his grip on Chrissy, clearly not ready to let her go yet.

“I agreed with your terms, now give me back my princess!” Steve exclaims, his hand reaching towards his sword.

Eddie’s eyes are dark when he says, “If you want her, come and claim her.”

Steve has no choice but to attack.

The battle becomes a blur after that. It always does.

———

In the end, the Harrington clan is victorious.

“This is the end.” Steve growls. “Don’t you know that the Harringtons always come out on top?”

"This is not the end, Charming.” Eddie spits out, still mocking him in his final moments

One swing of Steve’s sword quickly shuts him up.

———

Later, as Steve is removing his make-up backstage, two strong arms wrap around his waist. Steve glances up and meets Eddie’s eyes in the mirror, a grin spreading across his face.

“Great show today, babe.” Eddie says, pressing a kiss against Steve’s shoulder. “But foul beast? Really?”

“I improvised.” Steve shrugs. “Besides, you’re one to talk with your obvious Lord of the Rings references.”

“You got that one. That’s so hot, sweetheart.” Eddie groans, blatantly grinding against Steve’s ass as he kisses up his neck.

“Could we maybe not do this in the dressing room?” Steve scoffs, but he still melts under Eddie’s touch.

“Like that stopped us before.”

After deciding Eddie has a point, Steve spins around to pull Eddie into a heated kiss. There’s some wolf-whistling from their fellow actors but that all becomes background noise as Eddie’s hands travel down to Steve’s ass.

“Thought it was my turn tonight.” Steve grins against Eddie’s lips.

“Huh? What?” Eddie blinks in response.

“Aw, baby.” Steve bats his eyelashes. “Don’t you remember? Harringtons always come out on top.”

Eddie smirks. “I’m counting on it.”

#love how it looks like jesus is exuding laser beams #some interesting context about the book from wikipedia: #The treatise describes the alchemical process in terms of Christian mythology. The theme of the book is the analogy of the passion #death and resurrection of the Christ with the alchemical process leading to the lapis philosophorum. #The text is one of the most important alchemical works of late medieval Germany. #15th century #alchemy #st francis #christian iconography #stigmatization #medieval art #illuminated manuscripts #saints #wounds

PlazaSims dump - more conversions (;

For the sake of @plazasims notes I figured it would be nicer of me to upload all the conversions I did of her content into a single post so yeah, credits to her for the meshes/textures and once again a big thank you for allowing me to convert this <3 / Original ts4 posts are linked on each title (;

>Nilfgaardian Armor

This one was a pain to convert and to lower it's polycount in my poor attempt to add morphs to it, but I gave up in order to keep details. So, this one is 24k poly !!! (and I strongly recommend to not use it for gameplay) without morphs / Has a single non-recolorable swatch.

>Medieval Lingerie Set

Unlike the armor, this one was a dream to convert and for the very first time ever I didn't had to resize the texture so it looks great <33 The outfit is 8,7k poly, includes all morphs + pregnancy aaand has a single swatch which is fully recolorable (;

>Vesemir Body + (separated) Necklace and Boots

9,4k poly with morphs, has a single swatch and is not recolorable, but still has a channel enabled so you can change brightness to your likeness. / Necklace was a part of the outfit but made it into an accessory so I could add morphs to it and it's 1,8k poly and somewhat recolorable, the boots are 1,4k poly and not recolorable

>Geralt Set

9,8k poly with morphs / Has a single swatch and it's not recolorable.

>DOWNLOAD< (patreon but free)

Notes: All of these except for Geralt Set and Medieval Lingerie in CAS have weird transparency issues all over the outfit due to decimation but look far better in game (or at least aren't that noticeable) / Also as you could probably tell I didn't convert any of the weapons/accessories from these sets as I didn't find them useful for my gameplay as of now, but do feel free to request them as I don't mind converting those too hehe

was doing some reading on medieval bestiaries and, hear me out

Stags in bestiaries are associated with Christ, since when running they are said to run to “Christ, the true spring”. They also trample upon their enemy, the snake, who represents the Devil.

with TOH’s subversion of how witches and hierophants are traditionally regarded, i just think it’s neat :)

#OH THEY BOTH ALSO HAVE THEMES OF SHEDDING WITH DIFFERENT CONNOTATIONS #the infirm stag sheds its antlers and is rejuvenated the cunning snake sheds its skin to further grow and scheme #which 👀 #oh also fun thing is a lot of medieval snakes have little cat like ears on em just like stringbean #i know it’s coincidence but i think it’s fun to analyse this kinda shit #the owl house #toh #luz noceda #emperor belos #phillip wittebane
