20240216: the History of LEGO Castle day 047. 6009-1 Black Knight (1992, 24 pieces, 11 different parts) The Black Knight is a very small set with limited buildable pieces, as it's just the knight on a black horse with a brand new, two-clip red saddle. Buildable parts of this set include a small brick built armor stand with a lance with a red flag. The minifigure has a black torso with black arms and the printed silver breastplate with black legs with a red belt. The knight has dark gray armor, a dark gray helmet with a black visor, and the brand new dragon plumes, which in this set is red, and includes the large dragon top, and "wings" for each side. This set also introduces the ovoid shield, in this case a blue dragon with red wings on a yellow background with a blue border. The newest minifigure part, and the thing which forever changed the direction of LEGO castle, is the introduction of the printed minifigure head, as this is a yellow head with a printed red mustache and goatee. Though the black bangs and red lipstick "female" head was produced in 6071-1 Forestmen's River Crossing and 6081-1 King's Mountain Fortress, those were only one isolated minifigure face in two different sets. From this point forward, almost all minifigure heads are printed with facial characteristics outside of the "standard smiley face", and in the castle theme, that means no more gender ambiguity. This was the last LEGO set I purchased FOR DECADES. Not just the last castle set, but the last set in general that I purchased until about 2012. Keep in mind, back in 1992, there really wasn't any way to get other parts or switch out things you didn't like. The internet existed but wasn't as easy to use as it is today and BrickLink didn't even exist until 2000 (then BrickBay, designed and built by Dan Jezek) and the LEGO Group didn't purchase BrickLink until late 2019. The LEGO pick-a-brick wall only existed in physical stores and those were not as common as they are today and ordering specific parts wasn't nearly as easy as it is today. All that to say that my favorite childhood toy no longer produced a product I felt comfortable buying and playing with, as there was no financially feasible way for young me to change out the all-scruffy facial hair for gender non-specific minifigures. Now. This set has a LOT of cool knight accessories. The armor, the helmet, the dragon shield, and the dragon plumes are all very cool. And now I've been able to find many of the dragon plumes and shields "in the wild" and purchased a bunch of helmets, so I can make my knights however I want, and so those elements are incorporated into my current builds. But back then? Young me was devastated. Parts inventory for this set can be found at BrickLink or Rebrickable and a free download of the instructions is available at ToysPeriod.

Jason Todd characterization guide

Created for fans who're too scared to read comics but love Jason!Also gentle reminder that you can just watch Batman:Under The Red Hood and be set!!

As Robin,Jason was a peppy altruistic softboy who was extremely kind to everyone and a nerd in both senses of the word but also had a huge bite that loosing his parents and living on the streets as a child gave him and had a lot of snark and cheekiness to him.He also pushed a man off a building for raping a woman so as he does now,he's always respected women and has zero tolerance for men's bullshit

He's a lifelong literature nerd and a gamer,his favorite color is green and his favorite food is neapolitan

He's very manly,yes,but not stereotypically and his anger and violent tendencies aren't a part of his gender but a trauma response and mental illness symptoms.His masculinity is the positive and healthy kind and he's not a pissbaby about femininity or kiddy things

He's canonically goth punk and i mean punk,as in part of punk subculture,not a thirst trap.He hates rich people and refuses to move back in with Bruce on principal,he believes in acab,he dosen't actively seek out to do activism due to plot but he DOES help out whoever he encounters that lives under thumb of the system,he's anti toxic social norms like amatonormativity and roasts them,he's an intersectionalist who respects all his minority loved ones identities and same goes for other minority characters he meets and while he didn't target exclusively bad people back when he killed,he DID state he believes they deserve it the most and one of his victim's include a pedophillic teacher who was csa'ing one of his student's

Pit Madness isn't real and was created to infantalize and flatten him.His ghost aspects manifests moreso in dissociation-esque moments for him and the Lazarus Pit's actual effects on him were amping up his physical capabilities by making him way stronger

His taste in partners is women of color and he's grossed out by normie women because they make him uncomfortable and pissed off with their types of flirtation due to his trauma and weirdo status-Said woc are his love interests who're an egyptian woman,a wasian/half cambodian woman and a monoracial afrolatina and the rejected normie girls are a blonde blue eyed voluptous flight attendant and the whitewashed born sexy yesterday-ified version of Starfire.Jason has class

He's in that weird place where he's super cocky and thinks he's hot shit but also hates himself and thinks he deserves even worse than he's gotten.He displays all the requirements for having ptsd,bpd and npd and possibly even DID

He dosen't care for alcohol or smoking,most likely the latter is due to A Death In The Family(where he got blown up)

He expresses his affection by bickering and non-maliciously poking fun and dosen't hold back on words of affirmation,acts of service and quality time.It's a rare occurance but he's a great gift giver too!

His Robin is Duke and he's Duke's Robin too.I cannot emphasize how important they are to eachother-Jason came back to the Batfam only because Duke is now a part of it and instantly loved him and got along with him,none of which is true for literally any other Batkids and he fully and unshakebly believes Duke is a real Robin,Batkid AND Batboy and tells him that all the time and that's exactly what he wants after being an outcast and not part of the group his whole life.Them fanarts and posts of 'The Core Batboys'?Fake,ooc and inherently erasure.There's no Jason without Duke and anybody who tells you otherwise just hates black people

Relatedly,anybody who tells you afrolatino Jason is racist also just hates black people.WE made that headcanon,nobody else so watch your mouths seeing as you're also Core Batkid Duke deniers.And on afrolatino Jason takes,he should be monoracial,dominican because his birthday is on our restoration day,a dreadhead and heavily connected to his roots as Talia,Alfred and Bruce would do research to make sure he could still grow up on his culture

He listens to punk rock and metal and is a dog person

As Red Hood,he believed he was doing the right thing by trying to control crime but the point of that is that he was wrong and that's because in real life,that's not how it works and is a problematic political stance as it's dehumanizing and criminals deserve rights(no,i'm not joking.i'm an actual radicalist and so is Jason post getting over himself and Robin!Jason was a lil anarchist)

The scene of Talia sleeping with him in Lost Days should never be aknowledge as it was written by an islamophobe who admitted to not reading her comics and if you 'joke' about it considering that and that Jason was a minor at the time,then congrats,you're a racist misogynist and a creep who shouldn't allowed near minors irl OR online.Talia and Jason interacted positively during his Robin days and their dynamic is mother and son

Him and Dick were on good terms in his Robin Days too,Tim shittalked him when he was dead a lot and Jason was never obsessed with him-much less to the extent of attraction and he's canonically anti-incest as he said he'd never wanna kiss any of the four brothers he has(see what i mean with never shutting up about Duke?),he and Damian are close and the second closest next to him and Duke in regards to Jason Batboy relathionships,Cass scares him and she shouldn't be close to him unless he stopped killing as it's a vital part of her she follows the no kill rule and her story is femalecentric one by design and him and Stephanie are found siblings

He hates Roy for coddling him all the time no matter how much he protested and thinks of him as an annoying idiot and while that's not true pre-N52 or in current canon,he has a right to establish boundries.Jayr*y Jason is Bad™️.Eddie should be his male best friend as adults instead since they were pen pals and oh yeah,actually the same fucking age instead of a 14 year old and a grown ass man with a daughter

Bonus headcanons i find very fitting as someone who started with Utrh and has read every Jason comics apperance and watched and played almost all his adaptions:He's a straightedge,he listens to Mcr and Korn and Jack Stauber's Micropop and rap,Robin!Jason was a Kory fanboy and not a Wonder Woman one because pre-N52 Kory is everything he admires in women(including the black part),his 'he's literally me' character is Ichigo Kurosaki and his ideal woman is an afrolatina version of Orihime Inoue,he's transmasc agender and goth/ghostgender as xenogenders and reclaims the f slur as a shorthand descriptor,he owns a jumbo sized Jake The Dog plush,he's a master chef with a specialty in dominican,arabic and mexican foods,he's covered in scars and some are self-harm ones,he's jacked(fat AND buff)and he's a Team Dad to break the cycle and his non-bio kids are the Kid Outlaws from mine and my mutuals Rhato fixit(120 issues and 2010-2020 runtime,is what he deserves)and Damian's generation the All New Teen Titans and if he were to have a daughter,he'd give her a gothic name

And if you think it ends there, YOU’RE WRONG!

Drawing braids was a fatal mistake. Drawing someone braiding was so bad it brought me back to life just to kill me again. Also made these

I cant find rep for my people, so now the spiky lego man will be the rep! RAAAAAH (also I realized I misspelled descent. Don’t come for me i was getting tired-) also i do HC Axl as black too, but I haven’t decided from what country he’s from yet. I would make a quick doodle but i forgot my pen at home. I’ll see if i can make sum before the month ends but i cant promise it’ll be something supper detailed. I apologise to all the Axl stans, i have failed you 😔 anyways thats about it. happy black history month to the sillies and especially to me!

The Knights of the Round Table for the Black Knight Au! We have Cole as Lancelot, Zane as Percival, and Jay as Gawain (I wanted to put Gawain between Lancelot and Percival but the image size cut off the other two)

I don't really have anything else to say other than the fact that their personalities are gonna be slightly different than the ones from the game so they better reflect the ninja that they're based on

Also as a bonus, here's all of them without their visors on so you can see their faces:

The Last Raven Knight

In the depths of an ancient forest, cloaked in the shadows of towering trees, rode the last Raven Knight. His name was Sir Alistair, a solitary figure. Clad in beautiful heavy armor, he possessed the ability to communicate with the ravens that nested within the woodland.

For centuries, the Raven Knights had served as the protectors of the forest, defenders of its harmony and balance. But as the years passed, their numbers dwindled, until only Sir Alistair remained, a lone sentinel carrying the weight of his order's legacy.

20240302: the History of LEGO Castle day 062. From 1984-1993, the LEGO Group produced 56 (47 unique sets, 3 sets with a different set number but actually the same, 4 minifigure boxes, one set a non-separated part of a combo set, and one service pack) sets in several different subthemes, including the Black Falcons, Black Knights, Crusaders, Forestmen, Lion Knights, and Wolfpack. While many of modern catalogues have combined the Crusaders and the Lion Knights, some have left them separate for the sake of authenticity. I decided to include the original catalogues and this was definitely a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The main designers for the LEGOLAND and LEGO System Castle sets were Daniel August Krentz, Niels Milan Pedersen, and Steen Sig Andersen.

If Jason Todd was real he'd be black.John Boyega wanted to play him.Zeno Robinson has his vibe.Aubrey Joseph IS him.Etc etc

Falcons Charge!

Second entry to #bc_tipfest photo contest on @brickcentral

I used the tips Use a Screen, Pose Your subject

1. Use a Screen: The entire mountain/field background is a image projected on my iPad. Im a location where a view like that it impossible to find and shoot it so, using a digital screen background is an easy way to get around that!

2. Pose Your Subjects: All the minifigs and horses are aligned parallel to another to show that they are all charging across the field as a coherent group. The Commander is set up front with a much grander horse, while the others are not so far behind, following his lead.

Black Falcon knights patrolling the area 🗡️ 🛡️

I wanted to do focus bracketing and stacking to get everyone in focus, but the wind was too strong and kept knocking down the minifigures. 😒
