YU-GI-OH MONSTER HEADCANON: THE NOBLE KNIGHTS AND BARONNE DE FLEUR

-The Noble knights, and the Infernoble knights are on surprisingly good terms, and have a very solid alliance between them. It's very helpful to have reliable friends in the world of duel monsters since everything seems out to get you.

-Baronne de Fleur, while being part of Empower Charles's army, has a small portion of land under her dominion, as a gift to her from Charles.

-The gift is more of an attempt appeasement. Charles knows how strong Fleur is, and the last thing he wants is for her to take a grab for power. He knows he'd lose in a battle of pure strength.

-The Noble Knights, the Ancient Warriors and the Six Samurai of Shogun Shien are all rivals to each other, and are in an almost constant state of fighting.

-Currently, Shien is winning.

----

-Artorigus is a powerful king, a conqueror, and at times, rather cold and heartless. He will find success by any means or any one necessary.

- There is a very good reason as to why Llandslayn, Borz, and Medraut are all DARK.

-Often looked upon by Charles for him and his knights raw strength, he's often underestimated in his wit, wisdom and cunning.

-Most of the "Human" population of the world of Duel monsters are under the protection of Camelot; as he's the most willing to assist the "humans" in any plight they may have in the world.

So long as they remember who their king is.

Who Was Camilla? The Warrior Queen Who Defied the Trojans

A newborn thrown across a river and consecrated to the gods: this is how a legend was born. Who was Camilla?

Who was Camilla? In this video, we explore the extraordinary life of the warrior queen of the Volsci, a legendary figure in Roman mythology who dared to defy the Trojans and earned an eternal place in history. We will uncover how Camilla, consecrated to the goddess Diana from birth, grew up in the wilderness to become an unparalleled warrior. We’ll analyze her incredible successes on the battlefield, her loyalty to her people, and her tragic fate, marked by betrayal. But her story doesn’t end there: Diana’s divine vengeance left an indelible mark on mythology. Camilla represents a symbol of strength and independence, an icon of feminine courage in antiquity. We will explore how her figure fits into Roman mythology and why she continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts of legends. At the end of the video, you’ll discover why Camilla is still a source of inspiration today, an example of courage, sacrifice, and loyalty that resonates through the centuries.

Sculpture of a seated man with two dogs (one of the dogs is seen in the image). Dated (400-800 AD), from Veracruz, Mexico.

It could depict a warrior, as the man wears a full head mask that represents a (prairie) wolf.

Warrior Penelope stuff cause I've been listening to too many EPIC genderbent covers, and I wanted to give my take on it (also cuz I kinda want to draw it one day)

- Ares as Penelope's patron, absolutely! But Ares didn't have a huge cult in Sparta, although he wasn't hated. So my lore take version thing is that ATHENA wanted to be Penelope's patron (she had already an eye on Ody kinda) but Ares saw his chance, got to it first and became attached to Penelope without wanting to admit it, also because she saw the good and useful in him. Athena still watches over Penelope (especially after her and Ares platonically break up, which she finds really stupid) and is the one who does her best to protect Ithaca while she's gone. She's by Ody's side while he misses his wife and is mostly the reason why the Suitors hadn't taken over yet.

- To get Ares to realize his mistake, Athena tricks him into helping Telemachus defeat Antinous in Little Wolf because free bloodshed, only to end up sensitized by Telemachus because holy shit, my friend's son is here almost dying to this ASSHOLE who thinks he's so much stronger than MY friend the queen and even me like who tf does he think he is. Athena makes Ares fucking rational for once. And maybe even Aphrodite, as well, gets some damn sense in his mind like "they love each other like you and I and my girl is doing her best to get home you're going to apologize rn"

- ctimene holds a claymore double her height with no problems

- penelope is more "cold ruthless" than Odysseus, in a way that she's still poised (until the end or when she's really brought to her knees which is disturbing) while doing merciless stuff. She's emotionless a lot more (just on the surface)

- Ares was the one to give Penelope the idea of going to war instead of Odysseus, for obvious reasons. And Pen is really a mastermind among the Greeks ofc

- Ares and Pen fought in their My Goodbye version because she "held back her power while her friends got devoured" "she didn't even fight Polyphemus, didn't even TRY to kill him" "hid behind her wits to get things done". Because when fighting Polyphemus, she knew that if she tried to kill Polyphemus while he was asleep, they'd be stuck in that cave forever (like in the real Odyssey). And knew that fighting while her friends got killed would slow them down and probably get more people dead. And when they ran away, she didn't go back to kill the Cyclops even if she could've because of yes, mercy, but also because she would've awakened all the other Cyclops and sailing away was faster, better. Ares deemed this cowardice. Crazy thing, since one of the most important things to him is courage.

- Ares overstimates Penelope's power. Like, yes, she's exceptional, but still HUMAN. With her limits. He hasn't dealt with a human personally in years so he doesn't understand this, so his expectations are ridiculously high, which ends up breaking Penelope.

- During 600 strike, Penelope can actually breathe underwater and not hold her breath for such a long time and be fine because she's half naiad (yes, they are fresh water nymphs but still). Also this may make her even stronger around water (to a certain degree, she's still very mortal)

- calypso is pansexual

this is already a lot, ill add more when i think about it lol (also if i realize any of these ideas don't make sense)(check reblogs for more)

Somehow I missed this - last month the University of Thessaly tested the Mycenaean Dendra armour for combat by putting it on Greek Marines in an “11-hour simulated Bronze Age combat protocol”!

Not only did it prove battle-worthy, we now have THIS IMAGE🤯

Characters that are younger than Xiao and it feels wrong

Over half the archons (Nahida, Focalors, Furina, probably the pyro archon and the Tsaritsa assuming they were born after the cataclysm. Idk I feel like we assume gods should be the oldest and they just... aren't)
