Medieval Toy Unearthed in Poland

A 800-year-old horse figurine was found during an excavation conducted as part of the construction of a new fire station in Toruń, a medieval town on the Vistula River in north-central Poland. The small clay horse was glazed and has a hole in its underside. Researchers think a stick may have fit into the hole so that playing children could pretend to make the horse gallop or use it as a puppet.

blackwall and cullen, the men that you are. the man who gave orders and the man who followed them. the man who's Joining might kill him, and the man who's leaving might kill him. a man with specific crimes at his feet and a man with systemic crimes at his feet. a man bloodied by a civil war and a man bloodied by a holy war. a man who plays pretender and a man who cant pretend. a man who found purpose in a lie and a man who found a lie in his purpose. a man who shut his eyes and turned away from a dog and the man who shut his eyes and turned towards a god.

hi i know this might be kind of a strange request but i was wondering if i could request a kidre moodboard that’s like based off ancient earth, cave humans, with dinosaurs and extinct animals and stuff? i know humans never co existed with dinosaurs but i’m fascinated with the idea of being a little early human kiddo wandering around on old earth and just exploring it all

i’d also like if it could be sort of darker earth tones colour wise!!! bright colours hurt my eyes 🥹

thank you so much i realise this is a weird request so im sorry

Here you go!!

Here’s another crack at Regulus! I’m not 100 certain on his look yet but this is another attempt at least

I was talking a bit about this but I think part of the reason iterators are designed as these small little doll-like puppets is both to humanize and dehumanize them by the Ancients. The puppet, at is core, is a means for communication with a great biological machine- to give it a face and features and ground it as you ask its advice or it's progress. This massive, world-altering creation simplified down to this little thing that had all the features of a person. But its also small, cute, Ancient-like but clearly not an Ancient itself. They're colorful and simple, like a toy for children. And I think thats largely how Ancients saw them- often not as a person with desires and opinions but as an extension of the Ancient's work, a personalized character that represented their cities and people, whos citizens could like them and were comprehensible to their children, but was not them- and would not reap the reward of being them when a solution was found. Each one pretty and unique to make them individuals, but not seen- truly- as individuals by many- just as parts of their cities, something under the Ancients. Like if every town had its own personal My Little Pony they could ask advice on where the next community center should be built.

wait i just realized... the mastersword isnt even important enough to warrant zelda doing to such extreme lengths to repair it bc its NOT EVEN REQUIRED FOR DEFEATING GANONDORF

idk about you but the mastersword being not just this weak after all this but also not even required is like ... hurting the whole plot SO bad for all that zelda knew she was basically killing herself by doing the dragon thing ONLY for the mastersword, which isnt even needed to reach the end why do the dragon thing at all??? she could have put it in some other divine place for it to recover (she knew where the springs are, she knew where the krog forest is, heck she even knew where the forgotten temple is BC THEY WERE ALL THERE* and im not going to belive any of them came into existence afterwards), in botw it took 'only' a 100 years to regenerate the damage it took in botws past which, while not as extreme as in totk, was pretty bad! yeah it gets outright broken in totk but like ... really? far over 10 000 years to recover it? through ZELDA? one of the most divine being IN THE FORM of one of the most divine beings aside from the very gods themselves?? whats the use of it being able to regernate if it takes THAT long?? feels easier to forge a new one for that matter?? and the excuse that "it needed to be able to resist miasma" is like .. why tho? yeah ok fine i could do the entire bossfight with JUST the mastersword, but again, its not required! i can do it with anything else!! and its doesnt cleanse miasma either, like the sword did in tp when you could do away the twilight stuff when it got the super glow stuff so its really like ... she did that JUST for the sword? really? the fact that her becoming a dragon is the way to get her back into her time isnt something she could have known and it working out like that makes it feel like a massive fail of the writers bc it makes it feel less like an actual decision she made for good reason and more bc its a decision the writers made bc the writers already knew where it would end, the writers knew shed be turned back in the end no problem so they had her do the dragon thing despite it being pretty senseless from her perspective

(wouldnt it have felt more in character and logical to put the mastersword somwhere safe where it can recover over all those centuries and search for a way to return to her time herself? like in these two games ZELDA feels like the more important thing that the sword, -zeldas prone to sacrifice herself for other- WHY! its better for everyone if you are alive rather than dead! you got to this time by yourself and also somehow not jsut shifted the time but also PLACE bc you sure as hell didnt appear in a cavern in the middle of the land, you have wielded incredible magic before and are a researcher, surely theres some way for you to at least TRY to return on your own?? how cool would it have been to find little markers and spots where clearly she has left you some sort of message, maybe like a way for you to do something that helps her in the past, USE THE WEIRD ASS TIME BUBBLES FROM THE TUTORIAL AGAIN!! send back something she needs to return! go and talk with impa and purah to determine what shes trying to tell you, help her along the way and in the end she makes her triumphant return, having grown and learned with what she did instead of regressing her chaarcter to the big eyed maiden that you get as a reward at the end through unsatisfying bs reasons and hurray she doesnt even remember, perfect little fairytale of no consequences wahoo- im salty about this let me be salty-)

you can absolutely combine a free to explore open world with good story without restricting it by much, like locking the bossfight behind aquiring the mastersword doesnt feel like that big of a change and its not making it a whole lot more linear, most people do it anyway right?

(also a thing im doing in my rewrite of it is locking certain things for some parts, it just makes sense if you are trying to tell a story, but its pretty clear now they werent trying to do that, just throw you into a box of virtual toys, and i think thats just sad)

*yeah actually whats up with the sonau/rauru putting their little nuclear super weapon storage room inTO THE ANCIENT RELICT OF THE FORGOTTEN PAST TEMPLE BEHIND THE BIGGEST STATUE OF HYLIA IN EXISTENCE?? you cant tell me all those ancient ruins (springs, forgotten temple) were made AFTER all of the shitshow that went down in totks past; putting it behind that statue? building it into there feels incredibly disrespectful, maybe it makes more sense if you just see it as the devs wanting to put somethign new there, but if you consider it in universe its just ??? also HOW is any of it in such a good shape??, it looks like they buried sonia there a year ago, the structures look like they just came out of a 3d printer despite supposedly being older than their recorded history??

on that note ... how does the room with the order and location of zeldas tears make sense .. are you telling me someone of the past ran around after dragon zelda recording where her fucking tears went down and what markings it made on the ground and then built a room next to the nuclear weapon storage room with the laughably unceremonial grave of the fucking queen just to put all that into statue form? also none of the geographical things changed in ALL that time?? the castle is drawn on there too so i guess that was super fresh then since it "was built above ganondorf as a symbol of royal blahbla" at least in botw you had the photos on your SHIEKAH stone to recover them once you found the place they were taken in, it felt so organically integrated ..

I’ve shown this a little bit before, but I just realized I never actually posted the full collection on here since then, so have the full display!

My full collection of every single Order of Mata Nui member! (minus the ones that physically can’t be owned in a canon capacity (I’m sorry Johmak ;-;))

I don't know what else to say other than this was really really fun to collect and aaaah I love them all sm I'm so happy!!!

Sorry the photo isn’t great, it’s like impossible to get good photo lighting where they’re displayed.

So have these instead!

Hi! So I saw the post about how there is now a dog in the Niobe and Circe adopts Lester AU, and you're looking for a name for him, I have a suggestion not only of a name but also for how the dog looks, since I saw you didn't really have a description in the post. Anyways, this ask is long enough, what if the dog was mainly black but the paws and tails are fading to white? And the dog is named "Raven"? This is actually because in the myths, Ravens were Apollo's sacred messengers, and due to an incident, Apollo got mad and turned them black. I dunno I just felt like it would show that even with all the memory altering and stuff, even subconciously, Lester still remembers or rather has a feeling about stuff that reminds him of his life as Apollo. ˙ ˘ ˙

I've decided the dog is a German Shepherd, but black German Shepherds aren't unheard of! Raven could be a very good name.

I'm looking for something that can be shortened to a single syllable, to make it feasible for the dog to hear and understand commands. "Raven" can be shortened to "Ray" so it definitely fits that criteria!

I've also been calling him "Bel" in my notes, and I've grown kind of fond of that name too. But there's plenty of time for that to change :)

I am starting on my backlog of minis! "*a voice from the back * it's about time!"

Ahem.

I call this one Pharaoh's Guard. I think this would be a a great mini for a higher level enemy in a DnD session set in the desert. The Guard would be able to freeze an enemy with their piercing glare and even use "Harsh Authority " to command a player, if their roll was successful. If the player takes a certain amount of damage, the Guard commands them to inflict more damage on themselves.. the control can be broken with a successful saving throw. The Guard's passive ability is night vision and high stealth stats.

This was painted with Speedpaints and I think I am getting the hang of them now. I will use undoubtedly use these for certain color families!

What do you think? Let me know in the comments! Feel free to use my idea for DnD. If you do, let me know how it goes!
