UNHINGE YOUR JAW

the act of translating can be a horror. acts of creation can be a horror. many things that are capable of being eaten are also capable of rot and decay so unhinge your jaw.

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography, Edited by Alicia Spencer-Hall and Blake Gutt

#cw christianity #body horror cw #pregnancy cw #childbirth cw #again not central to the image itself but the cited text #if you get transphobic about this where i can see it i will block you idc unpack that shit on your own time #we have kings giving birth in that one french text and something else with a tree and trans men also #this. hrhgh. doesn't fit in with the knights one i usually use i will make a new one #medieval tag #drawing tag

Insular crucifixion plaques. Each depicts Christ in the centre, flanked by the figures of Stephaton and Longinus at the base and angels at the top. Purpose unknown, although wear at Christ’s head suggests they may have been used as pax-plates.

1. Rinnegan, 2. Tynan, 3. Kilkenny, 4. Killaloe, 5. Clonmacnoise.

i love the idea of a god of tyranny so i designed my girl as the chosen of bane. inspired by the bane worshippers of bg3, roman emperors, and greek tragedy actors

#and also by medieval knights and Napoléon's stupid coronation outfit #tyranny is an interesting concept and an interesting word so i drew on all the things it made me think about #bane : it's not too late to pick a better chosen. call me #art tag #my art #bg3 #em

On a hunt with the knights, Merlin and Arthur:

Gwaine: I cut my finger.

Merlin: I can kiss it better?

Arthur: That works?

Merlin: Yeah, my mum used to do it.

Arthur: Huh.

Later:

Arthur: Leon, I need you to punch me in the mouth.

Leon: *punches him with zero hesitation* About damn time. That’s for poetry.

hell is playing an assassin's creed game set during your favorite historical time period

#EVERY SINGLE historical figure that has shown up so far has made me go 'he would not fucking say that' the second they open their mouths #and like. im all for historical inaccuracy when done in a fun way but so often its just lazily oversimplifying very complex people/groups #and oversimplifying the CRUSADES of all things...#i am biting through the WALLS #but um. i will be finishing the game. thanks for asking 💖#medieval tag

the king and queen from aucassin and nicolette! french medieval texts have a lot of fun with gender. generally, medieval texts are having fun a lot of fun with gender, and I am having a lot of fun reading them! I did an illustration in the same vein about medieval priests and translation awhile back, and completely forgot I meant to follow it up with this lmao

edit: INCREDIBLE I used the signature for my other blog with this illustration. alas! I'm not going back into photoshop to format it a second time

been watching dungeon meshi...🌱

#marcille donato #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi #girl i dont know what tags are right.#deliart #normally i stay away from the fantasy medieval rpg etc aesthetic but this anime is nice so far ! felt a little refreshing.#i appreciate the textured linework in the anime. although as someone who also does that. i really felt the slight bleed on the colors #in some spots. i wanted to get in there to fix it soo bad in the beginning #textured linework requires a lot of effort to look clean.....but it looks lovely. seems difficult if u gotta color a whole animation #id do neat linework for this but i am base sketch pen for linework pilled rn. post more work less #got more serious wips currently but those are all on the backburner<3 sorrie.....

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KNIGHT...

the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin

this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.

you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.

also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.

⭐ I have a tip jar (ko-fi)!

⭐ and other places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app

#the economy and my bank account are in shambles and i ended up stress drawing this whole thing in one go #its so many lines. the next time i draw this. because i will be revisiting this composition. i want to use a different inking brush #i think. but the next time i draw this it will be with solid blacks on the stair case steps i think #hey here's a fun fact for those of you who aren't catholic. did you know that kissing the ring of the pope/a cardinal/etc #grants you an indulgence. cardinals also used to kiss the pope on the mouth. also foot and hand iirc. anyway #there are no cardinals in this drawing but im saying if you write medieval/renaissance smut about men of the cloth #you can really amp up the friction between holy and seductive with a lot of the (gestures vaguely) that.#actually another fun fact about cardinals. their fun sun hat (it's called a galero) has some fucking weird as hell fever dream (literally)#origin lore. so if seductive isn't your thing. the horror of a thing that you wear is also extremely fun #esp when you get into medieval gender performances of clothes and how they define a person etc #generic medieval tag #original tag

Leon: My king, I didn't think you would participate in today's tournament.

Arthur: I changed my mind

Leon: Didn't you say that you was to remain in the balcony to accompany the visiting Lords?

Arthur: It's a matter of honor!

Gwaine:...

Gwaine: Merlin said Lance would win
