Yongtai Fortress 永泰古城 is a village and historical fortress town on the Gobi desert in Gansu province, northwest China. Built in 1608 by the Ming dynasty rulers to defend against attacks from northern nomads. it stationed 2000 infantrymen and 500 cavalry units.

The entire fort is enclosed by a rammed earth wall including defensive towers. Due to desertification, the village is now mostly abandoned, dropping from 1500 people in the 1950s, to around 100 today.

Sorry guys, wafer on the brain, it's terminal u.u

Anyway, I'll elaborate on this in the tags bc omg I'm going to yap your metaphorical ear off.

#SO during the whole “affogato almost takes over the citadel situation” dark cacao cookie [whom i will refer to as DC for my health]#dc basically took all the cookies that were hunting/fishing/patrolling the surrounding lands for food and stuff to make them work #on fortifying the wall #therefore two things happened 1] the cookies who still were hunting for food literally couldn't keep up with the apatites of cookies who #were working super fucking hard on the wall and 2] all the farming imports from the villages near by stopped almost entirely because #it was too dangerous to import their goods or get anything from the citadel [like tools] so they had to keep what they could for themselves #so effectively a famine was starting #and so cookies started eating things they probably shouldn't like deer crackers and wolf treats #looking at you Caramel and crunchy chip #caramel just never fully kicked the habit because it was what she had alot of and she would trade her rations for them with the villages #crunchy chip just allways did that tho. he's just like that #Dc on the other hand grew up in those lands before there was real communication between villages or a citadel to depend on for rations #so famine was common and rough. eatting bark and leaves were common place in his home so while he does eat jellys he never kicked the #craving for tree bark #on the plus side hes got a crazy strong stomach and can eat just about anything #whereas chocolate wafer is from a small village near the hollyberry kingdom so they have allways had an abundance of fruits and juice to #snack on. they managed to convince dc to add dried berrys to their imported goods list and now they are considerd a sweet treat #idk how to put this in kinda organically so ill just say the dc kingdom is a place that depends on imported goods heavily #things like precious metals and food usually comes from the hollyberry kingdom [and gc before her isolation]#in return dc kingdom provides military support and has the best medicine in all of earthbread. All the best doctors studied there #anywho im dome rambling sorry for whoever gets jumpscared thinking this was gunna be short #also if you notice my art suddenly being colored and stuff its because im trying to open coms soon! i want to nail my coloring before then!#^^ if you read all that. wow! have a candy!🍬#dreamy talks #[🧋]#chocolate wafer cookie

One of my favorite takes on Frodo, and why I value him so much as a character: unlike so many central characters in fantasy, he was not a Chosen One.

Instead, he was the One who Chose, and that made all the difference.

#lotr #frodo baggins #lord of the rings #thinky thoughts #I'm a sucker for Chosen One narratives too #but there is something so beautiful about a character that makes the difficult choices and quests #not expecting victory or glory #increasingly not expecting to survive #and not even fortified by a prophecy or the like that their efforts will even be successful #instead stepping up because it is the right thing to do #here we stan Frodo

Ekko kisses Jinx crown or forehead as his little acts of affection/greeting.

Jinx, in turn, kisses Ekko's chin and nose as her little acts of affection.

Ekko is sometimes met with good-natured sniggers and a gesture to his nose from the other firelights.

The hourglass's paint has smudged again. (no one tells him she does it deliberately). It leaves him a bit bashful and chuffed; who wouldn't want their girl to shower them with affection

You know, I think Rogal Dorn is the "but you....one goat" joke of the fandom.

Like I do completely agree with a post from a few days ago about how characters get flanderized into one-dimensional "Konrad kills people", "Mortarion stinks", "Angron is unreasonably fuckass mad" etc, but consider Dorn.

I can see him in my mind's eye taking a look around popular perceptions of him, scowling, and very calmly going: "I was Praetorian of Terra. I built the Imperial Palace. Do they call me Rogal Dorn Palace-Builder? No.....

I also stood against Guilliman's Second Founding. I got pelted with "Codexes Astarteses" IN SPACE. I led my sons into a meat-grinder to practically demonstrate to them why they were wrong, and let them reach their own conclusions. But do they call me Rogal Dorn Book Hater? Do they call me Rogal Dorn Parent of the Year Reason-for-his-Sons-Dying? Rogal Dorn Sigismund's Feelings-Hurter? No...

I even carried my fatally injured father on my shoulders and sat him up on the Throne of Terra after Horus stabbed him. But do they call me Rogal Dorn the Emperor-Carrier?......No."

single tear "But you wear one pain glove...."

and then you can't even stub your toe without creaming your pants

Seriously, Dorn appears and everyone is suddenly like

And this is funny to me.

#btw this is all in good fun people i'm not calling anyone out #some of you have written pretty - ah - psychographic portraits of painglove!Rogal #I'm just saying it's funny #it's the triad Rogal the fortifier Rogal the literal and Rogal and the pain-freak #but they are all valid #and Perturabo is jelly of all of them #warhammer 40k #warhammer 40000 #wh40k #rogal dorn #primarchs #memes #wh40k fandom #warhammer 40k memes #funny #i think i need a wh40k shitposting tag

Xiangyu Ancient Castle 湘峪古堡

Originally built in 1614, Xiangyu Ancient Castle in Jincheng, Shanxi province served as both a military fortress and a residential area, protecting local residents from invasion and banditry during the turbulent times of the late Ming (1368-1644) and early Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Today, the castle complex is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its ancient residential buildings, sturdy stone walls, watchtowers and elaborate carvings.
