[tiny-librarian]

The Royal Order of the Seraphim was a Swedish order of chivalry created by Frederick I on February 23rd, 1748. This outfit, including the cape, dress, shoes, hat, and insignia, was worn by the then 2 year old Prince Gustav, the future Gustav III.

(Definitely go to the linked source below and look at the closeup shots, it's amazing!)

Gustav III:s privata arkiv räddas

Var Gustav III verkligen så maktlysten som han ofta utmålas, och vad var egentligen motivet till hans statskupp? Ja, det vet väl bara han själv, men jag har information att dela med mig av, som nästan alltid blir förbisedd, och därför är okänd av många, och som ändrar bilden av det hela om man tar hänsyn till den.

Art ref: Klimt, Judith and the Head of Holofernes.

I'd been wanting to do a Ghost version of a Klimt remake for a while. If you've seen my latest wip, you know that a second Klimt is already on the way. I thought it would be better to post them separately. I hope I've managed to do something good, it's always a bit strange to draw Copia with a visible teeth smile.

Uncensored version under the cut.

Yk what?

HTTYD Headcanons babyyyy!!!

•Hiccup curses, but doesn’t cover it up. He only does it to the other Riders and they think it’s unfair. (Cough, Cough, mostly Snotlout.)

•Gustav is Snotlouts stepbrother. (Moms side)

•Tuffnut makes dumb bets, and always loses.

•Eret asked Astrid to hang once and she thought it was a date. Turns out he just needed help with a lose trap.

•Thor Bonecrusher returned for aftermath of Httyd3 THW, and then had a nightstand with Snotlout.

•Ruffnut let it happened

•Lmao, She watched.

•Eret and Snotlout shared a kiss but they didn’t know to date or not, (ended up having times to themselves to think about it then officially dated.)

•Tuffnut still has Chicken and the Chicks. (Along with the rooster) by having a small chicken house beside his and Ruffnuts hut.

•Hookfang doesn’t like sleeping alone (As long as a dragon or Snotlout is close by, he is fine.)

•Hookfang never liked Eret. Almost set him on fire once but Eret was thankfully saved by Stormfly.

•Barf and Belch sometimes accidentally ignites the gas and blows up the hut when sleeping.

•Valka and Gobber are now bestfriends with Eret. (The triooooo)

And i’ll add more, but this would be to long :(((

Pont Alexandre III - PARIS

[majestativa]

Herod’s palace rose up like some Alhambra on slender columns iridescent with Moresque tiles, which appeared to be bedded in silver mortar and gold cement; arabesques started from lozenges of lapis lazuli to wind their way right across the cupolas, whose mother-of-pearl marquetry gleamed with rainbow lights and flashed with prismatic fires. The murder had been done; now the executioner stood impassive, his hands resting on the pommel of his long, bloodstained sword. The Saint’s decapitated head had left the charger where it lay on the flagstones and risen into the air, the eyes staring out from the livid face, the colourless lips parted, the crimson neck dripping tears of blood. A mosaic encircled the face, and also a halo of light whose rays darted out under the porticoes, emphasized the awful elevation of the head, and kindled a fire in the glassy eyeballs, which were fixed in what happened to be agonized concentration on the dancer. With a gesture of horror, Salome tries to thrust away the terrifying vision which holds her nailed to the spot, balanced on the tips of her toes, her eyes dilated, her right hand clawing convulsively at her throat. [...] The dreadful head glows eerily, bleeding all the while, so that clots of dark red form at the ends of hair and beard. Visible to Salome alone, it embraces in its sinister gaze neither Herodias, musing over the ultimate satisfaction of her hatred, nor the Tetrarch, who, bending forward a little with his hands on his knees, is still panting with emotion, maddened by the sight and smell of the woman’s naked body, steeped in musky scents, anointed with aromatic balms, impregnated with incense and myrrh. Like the old King, Des Esseintes invariably felt overwhelmed, subjugated, stunned when he looked at this dancing-girl, who was less majestic, less haughty, but more seductive than the Salome of the oil-painting. In the unfeeling and unpitying statue, in the innocent and deadly idol, the lusts and fears of common humanity had been awakened; the great lotus-blossom had disappeared, the goddess vanished; a hideous nightmare now held in its choking grip an entertainer, intoxicated by the whirling movement of the dance, a courtesan, petrified and hypnotized by terror. Here she was a true harlot, obedient to her passionate and cruel female temperament; here she came to life, more refined yet more savage, more hateful yet more exquisite than before; here she roused the sleeping senses of the male more powerfully, subjugated his will more surely with her charms – the charms of a great venereal flower, grown in a bed of sacrilege, reared in a hot-house of impiety.

The silver baptismal font

The baptismal font was intended for the new royal chapel commissioned by King Karl XI for the Tre Kronor palace during the 1690s.

Attempts were made at that time to start trading with Indonesia, but all that resulted from this was a consignment of silver from the island of Sumatra. This silver was used as the material for the baptismal font, which stands 106 centimetres high and weighs over 70 kilograms, of which 50 kilograms is silver.

The baptismal font was first used in 1746 for the christening of Crown Prince Gustav (III) and is still used for royal christenings.

It was last used to christen Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's son, Prince Oscar, on 27 May 2016.

No way, it’s already 20th of April again! To celebrate Louis’ birthday again, let me show you this comic I just finished for one of my classes…. 👀 The theme was “Write a story that takes place in a Parisian Museum, in 4 pages…”

[Carnavalet Museum, 1913. 11:35pm]

Gustave: First night as a Night Guard…

Gustave: Goddamn Im so bored.

Gustave: Wait a minute.. who is this guy?

Gustave: Is he the owner of the place? Another guard? I’ll better introduce myself…

Gustave: Wait a second… if he is the owner, why is he running away??

Gustave: Uhm… are you okay?

Louis: Ha.. ha… yes.. yes thank you! Louis, My name is Louis.

Gustave: Gustave Bréant. Nice to meet you.

Gustave: You know… I never would’ve thought that I’d save someone from chocking on a petal during my first shift.

Louis: Ha ha! Cant help it! Those are the tastiest flowers of all Paris!!

Gustave: Well.. but it’s still a museum here…

Louis: Speaking of that— now that we introduced ourselves, what do you think about a nightly visit?

Gustave: … Lets go!

Gustave : I’ve never been passionate about art.

Gustave: But with this guy… I’m surprised to actually enjoy visiting the Museum.

Gustave: How does a single person can brighten a moment that much?

Gustave: ….. Shit… I really fell for him.

Gustave: I even start to see him in the paintings now?!?— wait… is he eating flowers in there as well??

Louis: You’re making a weird face, what are you looking at?

Louis: Eh!! Those two look kinda similar to us, right?

Gustave: Wait… so you see them as well? I’m not going crazy?

Louis: I do! We look cute, painted like that! And who knows? Maybe it was our fate to meet.

Louis: Maybe we even met before!!

[…]

Louis: So you have the right to leave your job place like that? Arent you supposed to guard it?

Gustave: I cant, no.. but what a shitty job anyway

Louis: I’m not complaining! Who needs a job when youre in good company?

Gustave: … You’re paying bills and food with love ? Oh, speaking of food, do you want to go grab sometimes to eat.

Gustave: Maybe there are still open restaurants at that time.

Louis: There it goes, you can’t live without me anymore!!!

Gustave: Well, I found you, I’m not letting you go now. …. So, about the restaurant?

Louis: I’m in! Do you think they serve flowers?

Gustave: Louis… Can’t you eat something other than flowers???

Louis: Let’s say I’ll make an effort for you. Alright! Let’s go find a nice place!

[The End? :}….]

here it was :D It was fun to do, laborious, but fun!! 🥹 I’ve told myself that if I have more than 18/20 as a mark on the project, I do more parts of their story… So who knows? Might as well see more of them in the 1910’s soon….
