A 14th-Century Papal Bull Discovered in Poland
A lead seal found in northwestern Poland has been identified as a rare papal bull from the reign of Pope Boniface IX (1350-1404). It was discovered in 2021 north of a former cemetery in the village of Budzistowo by metal detectorists with the PARSĘTA Exploration and Search Group. Dirt and corrosion made it difficult to identify at first. Specialists in Kraków cleaned and conserved it, revealing the inscription that marks it as the seal of Boniface IX.
Bullae were round seals, usually made of lead, that were hung on silk strings affixed to the parchments of official proclamations and documents. They were legally valid and highly recognizable signatures. Metallurgic analysis found that this one was made of pure lead derived from galenite deposits in Cyprus, Sardinia, Greece and Spain. This composition indicates the bull is original, not a later copy.
The reverse inscription reads: BONI/FATIUS/PP:VIIII. The obverse features the images of Saint Peter and Saint Paul identified by the inscription SPASPE above their heads.
In the 9th century, what is now Budzistowo was founded by Pomeranian tribes as the fortified settlement of Kołobrzeg. The settlement was on the Parsęta River 2.5 miles from its mouth on the Baltic Sea, and was rich in salt, fish, iron ore and arable land. The Polish Piast dynasty conquered the area in the 10th century, and Kołobrzeg grew into a regional center of the trade in salt and salt-cured fish.
It became a seat of a bishopric in 1000, but the area would only become thoroughly Christianized in the 12th century. St Mary’s church was built at that time. It was converted into an abbey in the 13th century when German settlers founded a new town of Kołobrzeg on the Baltic and the former Pomeranian stronghold was renamed Old Kołobrzeg. A monastery for Benedictine nuns was then built in Old Kołobrzeg.
Historians hypothesize that the bull was kept at the Benedictine monastery, based on a reference in the comprehensive history of Kołobrzeg written by the 18th century Pastor Johann Friedrich Wachsen. He recorded that in 1397, Boniface issued a letter of indulgence for the Benedictine nuns. It guaranteed a full indulgence to anyone who visited the local church.
With no relic relating to the monastery surviving to this day, [Dr Robert Dziemba, the head of the Kołobrzeg History Department,] says that if it is proved that this bull is the same one referenced by Wachsen it would be nothing short of “a historical revelation”. […]
Dziemba speculates that this particular papal bull may have been lost in the 16th century.
“After the 1534 congress in Trzebiatów introduced Lutheranism to Pomerania, the document simply lost its value,” he said. “Maybe the bull was thrown out when the duchy took control of the monastery as a result of this congress – but maybe it was lost centuries later. We will probably never know when and why it was discarded.”
The conserved bull has gone on display in the Museum of Arms in Kołobrzeg.

Mermay Special Prompt 1
Selkie Batfam? Selkie Batfam. But make it Liminal. 
See, none of them were exactly born as such. In fact? It’s technically a side effect of Lazarus waters and extreme ecto-contamination. Does this also mean selkie Al Ghuls? Yeah, technically. Though with how part of their mission includes protecting endangered species, they definitely use it to their advantage. 
Now, how did the batfam become so ecto-contaminated? Well how could they not? Lazarus pools in the Caves, corrupted artifacts, quite literally dying, dimension traveling and the many, many timeline shifts that seem to affect them specifically at times? 
Yeah, they’re all now… technically human in the fact that that’s the form they take. I mean, who doesn’t have a bit of eye-shine and fangs in Gotham? They just don’t really take seal form outside the manor because well, er, it’s a little embarrassing. Because their seal forms? 
Might be well, kind of tiny. So their friend might erm, not exactly know how much their respective bat is silently trusting them when they give them their coat to watch over.

you know, i had a totk thought (uh oh)
soemthign thats really bothering me about the whole "actually, ganondorf didnt like the guy appearing out of nowhere marrying a hylian and just saying yep das our kingdom now and we can mine it barren under your nose and also i got laserbeam pebbles that i totally wont ever use on anyone come join me or die just bc of all of that but mainly bc the guy brought some weird tech with him that he dont like" - thing is that ......... we see almost not a single tech thing in the past (and for that matter see nothing of the oh so perfect and peaceful paradise hyrule was before big evil desert man didnt want to join our paradise- like what is the point about making the whole point of the game be -we need to restore hyrule to this paradise it once was- when you dont even see it or get to care about anything of it)
it might sound like a weird hangup but no really, the most we see is like two servant constructs, thats it, when they 'prepare for war' im pretty sure all you see is some lightly dressed ( ... is it just me or does their whole get up look alot like native american/other indingenous people too ... i still dont know how to feel about that- kinda adjacent to some of the sonau armor, the battery one i think??, also having that look...) hylians with spears, where the heck is all that tech?? is it implied to be all down in the mines hollowing out the underground (for no real reason either bc .... theres only two sonau left and no one else seems to want use nor need the tech otherwise there should have been more traces or soemthing left of it -unless it all just magically appeared out of nowhere in mostly prime condition while all shiekah tech jsut vaporized for bs non reasons just for it to be in tha game but oh dont you see its always been there lmao- so whats the point really????)
or up in the sky as most battle constructs are and they cant get them down in time bc *gestures vaguely*
or is it intentionally kept out of view bc idk seeing an army of robots on raurus side he can send out on a whim might not make him look as oh so good and perfect as they want him to look when he already got laserbeam pebbles (most of which hes been hoarding until ONE falls into hands not under his control) ?? like it just ... feels weird?? so many battle constructs that can even be a threat to link are jsut fully functioning strolling around in the present still, why wouldnt you want to use any of them to battle gan and if they DID why wouldnt you show that (no the 3 second unicorn cutscene doesnt count bc its just .. gan and his monsters isnt it) ?? (also ... why isnt there a big like battle ground , like fine you dont have to animate an army of monsters and robots clashing but... wouldnt it be cool to have you discover a giant flat plain in the underground (that magically got put under ground like gan just decided to stroll down there to get sealed lol) and its the only mostly empty field in the game littered with thousands of monster bones and dead constructs intermingled?? just to give it all a bit of weight?? evidence that it happened?? cool ass discovery????)
(also also i cannot let go of ganondorf apparently being sooooo anti tech but then clamgan uses the shiekah stuff??? shouldnt he also be against that then or is that suddendly fine bc- oh woops sorry, forgot clamgan is actually just something, not connected to gan at all actually, i mean why else would miasma turn into malice only to turn into miasma again haha none of that is connected actually what is a calamity anyway? also im sorry to bring this up again but i just cannot let go of the ppl in the present being so obsessed with using sonau tech in every part of their life now- they just lived through an apocalypse of a barely understood strange tech but CLEARLY this other even less understood strang tech is not dangerous at all lets make CARS OUT OF IT and what theres no danger in miasma and that tech existing at the same time LIKE SOMETHING ELSE BEFORE THAT IDK SEEMS LIKE A BAD COMBO--- oh sorry forgot that ceased to exist in both the world and peoples minds for *gestures vaguely* plot reasons- why why why are monsters mining the sonanium?? they dont even work with the yiga no that is also completely disconnected we dont wanna draw and interesting connections after all- whats the point if it means nothing but to be a loot box for the player-- actually, so much of totk is just a so built around throwing you into a box of toys with no substance to it- listen i know games are kinda like toys but if it doesnt make sense and offers you nothing interesting to think about even slightly whAT IS THE POINT)

It's so funny to me that Dojo doesn't remember where the WU is.
At first your like yeah that's fair! It's been 1500 years! But then Omi goes back in time and you realise Dojo and Dashi share one braincell.
And that brain cell is not tracking the Wu lol

The 'Real' Petal
(I've been listening to 'Open the Door' over and over for months thinking about this, and decided to write a oneshot at 3AM in one shot.
This is loosely based on the 'That's Not My Neighbor' game featuring one of my favorite Yandere Simps, Leumin, because I may be cringe, but I am free.
So, here's TNMN!AU/50s!AU
Leumin Holiday was created by @hime-bee )
----
Leumin didn't really pay much attention to his neighbors.
In a world where anything could happen to you when you were in the outside world, getting close to your neighbors would likely earn your head getting ripped clean off your shoulders should anything happen to them.
Sure, he knew them vaguely by their faces, but that was more out of self-preservation than any real care about them or their lives.
Go to work as a Florist, Go home.
Work, Home, Work, Home, Work, Home.
Maybe go to the store and have a little chat from going completely insane with his Book Club friend Seal.
But life was pretty listless, it was a wonder to him how some people could grasp human connection at all.
It was so draining and bled so much out of him, that when he first met her, he just kind of felt relief.
There was no wondering if a monster would come and take someone away from you if you already knew they were a monster.
It had been pouring, the sky above dim despite the slight warmth causing a humidity in the air, and very few people were outside.
Stationed behind the counter, Leumin leaned against it as he waited for his shift to simply end.
The likelihood of anyone coming in at all was slim at best, at this point there was nothing to do when he had done all of the chores earlier.
It was when he looked down to take a sip of water that a hooded figure rushed into the shop, the bell chime clanging at the force as the figure moved to the side, staying close to the window as they crouched to shrink at the very edge.
Immediately straightening up, Leumin reached to the bat tucked under the counter.
It was strange to him how more people didn't do such a thing, and seemed even offended if you carried a weapon around them.
If more people were more cautious, the doppelgangers probably wouldn't be such a problem, after all.
Walking over, he noticed the figure was watching someone else outside, trembling.
He glanced outside, and noticed from the bright red hair that it was someone that was from his apartment complex.
Not many people had hair like her after all.
Which made it all the more alarming when he saw the exact same curls falling from the hood.
Gripping the bat tighter, he kept a good distance, on guard, but also noticing the trembling.
" Can I help you?"
The figure froze before looking over to Leumin.
It was almost comical, the way the creature had shoddily slapped together the eyes, nose and mouth of his neighbor, but it was in such a way it was like he was looking at a Picasso painting.
It caught him off guard, that and the tears that were running from it's weirdly placed eyes.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-" The creature croaked as it covered it's face, " I'm trying, I'm trying."
Keeping his distance still from it, the young man shifted, bangs still covering his eyes as he looked from the creature to the window and then back.
What the hell was even happening here?
" Don't kill me, please, I'm just-" The creature sniffled and coughed.
" Take a breath." Leumin couldn't help but feel a bit bad, the creature shuddering with sobs.
It was hard to think of taking the life of something that was acting like a lost child.
The creature took another shuddering breath before focusing more on him, looking back to the woman whom was long gone before back to him again.
" ..."
The silence was awkward before the creature moved to stand, " I-I'm going to go..."
" Looking like that?" Leumin couldn't help but voice, gesturing vaguely at their face, " Uh... You sure?"
The creature seemed a bit more upset as it reached up and actively pushed at their features, trying to fix them, " I'm sorry... I-I tried to copy this woman... but her features were b-blurry from the rain..."
" Mm... Yeah." Leu looked around the street before back to the creature, a few beats passing.
' Fuck it.'
Deciding life wasn't that worth it, he moved to it, the creature flinching before he offered his hand, " Come on, let's fix it."
" H-Huh?"
" Your face. It shouldn't look like that." His words were blunt, but the creature didn't seem to mind, tentatively reaching their own hand to him, Leumin noted that they had to remember to put fingernails on their hand.
" Th-Thank you..."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
By the end of his shift, Leumin had helped the creature craft their face in the back of the flower shop, thanks to a few pictures the owner had that could help them with composition.
A lot of it was based on memory, though he couldn't for the life of him remember what color his neighbor's eyes were, the color faded and watery on the creature's face.
" What's your favorite color?" The creature asked as they watched him.
It caught him off guard, so he took a beat before answering.
" Lilac."
It was then the creature closed their eyes, and when they opened them, the lilac color stared back at him.
" Thank you."
He felt his heart flip in his ribcage, his cheeks growing hot.
Why did they...???
" Do you have a name?" He asked as he stared.
" U-Um, I call myself Dotchi." The creature answered, scratching at their cheek with one of their new nails.
No, not the creature.
She didn't do anything wrong.
" I'm Leumin." He offered a hand to her, letting her shake it, this being the actual first time they touched as he wrapped his fingers around her hand tighter.
This world was fraught with danger, but she wasn't going to be one of the ones experienced it, because technically she was the danger.
But she didn't seem like she would hurt anyone.
Delicate like a little Petal...
And then it came to mind.
Curfew.
It was one of the things implemented to help keep the citizens safe, but it meant that anyone after a certain period was treated with immediate suspicion.
He could hide her in the back of the Flower Shop for a while, but considering she wasn't very good at human interaction much at all, and that people are checked at the door...
It was a kill or be killed world out there, he would have to make do for her.

thought this one suited his personality so accurately so i had to draw it (black and white colored version + me yapping about him again under the cut)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay so i love the annotation on the right since i love when people talk about his actual musical personality which people barely do because of how he got watered down so hard into a “innocent small soft shy pure cinnamon roll” by the 2017 - 2019 hamilton fandom era ☹️☹️☹️ it makes me so mad oh my god and it’s just because he doesn’t condone murder???? hello???? just because he has some pacifist views doesn’t mean he’s this pure soft man who needs to be protected IT WAS ONE LYRIC YOU GUYS (chaos and bloodshed are not a solution) a character doesn’t have to have some sweet angel personality for you to be able to enjoy them okay 😢 let him be a snooty annoying stuck up middle aged loyalist!!!!!!

Wait wait I just scrolled by a mutual that reblogged your Godseeker-Comic. Is that an AU? Is there more of this? This is so interesting! I have never seen Godseeker turning to be a part of Void. Mostly just always getting killed by it.
I hope you're doing more with this concept in one way or another because this is a really interesting idea!
ouuu thank you 🥺❤️ its not really an au, its more like my interpretation of a continuation to the embrace the void ending!! :D I think most people are not aware that she canonically doesnt die, and take the ending at face value.... its kind of hard to explain for me since even i am not 100% sure what exactly happens lol but i like to think that theyre perpetually linked or fused together in some weird way. and i feel that this result is pretty intentional from both sides.
Godseeker mentions that they seek gods to "clutch at their greatness and immortality", which i assume that with 'clutch' she means that these traits would be shared with the Godseekers through the "Godly focus" thing. And the knight, besides the fact that it proved its strenght against the local strongest beings, it posesses (via the Void Heart) the void under its will, which is literally said to be an "eternal" force that "denies time", ie immortal.
and this union of sorts would be beneficial for the knight as well, as it can go into Holy Beast mode at just about anytime it wants, which is a really awesome powerup if u ask me. That and also (in my headcanon) it does like her. very much :-)

The Stanley cup thing wouldn't be bad, except it's just been released that they contain lead solder in them which can be exposed if the cup is damaged.
Oops. Well, that's definitely not good.
(Says the woman who wants to raise children in a Victorian house with, among other old toys, a dollhouse made by her great-great-grandfather in the 1920s)
(But I WILL take pains to make sure no lead goes into their mouths, which seems like a step above giving them Convey Drink Into Mouth vessels with a lead risk)
