Huh, you know, Miquella divesting Trina reminds me of this discussion when the base game came out that Radagon was trying to undermine Marika & take over completely (his portraits & statues depict him in heroic and in control pose, while Marika was crucified with eyes downcast).

Now with the DLC proving that it’s Marika who is the emotions, the part that is heavy with love and rage and sorrow, I wonder if she knew had Radagon succeeded, the current rotten Order would persist, so better to drag him to death with her too, right now. Shatter it all.

Her smashing the Elden ring turns out to be motivated by so many legit reasons, after all. The realization that she had become just like the oppressors who stuff her people into jars, the death of Godwyn, her separation from Messmer, Death was back, Radagon was trying to cast her away to maintain the current status quo… wow.

also this explains why the base game goes out of its way to show that Miquella was once close to Radagon… (those Rings of Light spells) not Marika … 💀💀💀💀 all the signs are there…

YOUNG KING GEORGE looking at YOUNG QUEEN CHALOTTE in CHARLOTTE: A BRIDGERTON STORY

[rrcraft-and-lore]

Another shared myth across many cultures you might not know about? The swan maiden.

Shows up in Irish folklore, in Wales, Germany, Romania, Russia, Swede, Finish, through other parts of Asia, the middle east, and one of the oldest south Asian tales there is - so old that- people believe the theme might have come to that story from an earlier proto Indo-European tale.

What does the swan maiden represent? Well, it changes, but it's often thought to be: divinity, a representation of both the sky and water, a bridge between them, and celestial presence - entities. Luck. Prosperity.

Custom Gwen Funko Pop

I finished her! If you’re interested in more pictures, progress, the post continues below the cut off :)

I am probably the furthest thing from artistically talented as you can get, but I do have a frankly ridiculous amount of audacity so if you’re interested, this is how I did it!

I started by picking out a head and body from 2 different pops (they ended up being 2 different variations of Belle from beauty and the beast) and sketched out a design(s) to give me an idea to work from. (Ft my amazing ms Word graphic design skills on my tablet)

Looking back, the purple dress was the obvious choice because the apron design of the existing funko pop wouldn’t have needed any changing.

So I popped off their heads, sculpted the changes I wanted to make by cutting with a Stanley knife, sanding, and then used FIMO ovenbake Kids clay. Also, pops soften when heated so I dunked her in scalding water and kind of forced the arm that had been holding the mirror (which I also cut off) down so it wasn’t in front of her face.

Overall I used clay to hide where the apron had been, add flowers where the mirror had been, and also to fill a hole in the back where I pulled out the apron’s bow. And of course the bell sleeves, which I did about 7 times before I gave up and said it was good enough.

Then, I primed using an all-purpose primer, did about 4 coats and let it set for a week while I was away, and then I started painting!

*sighs* ah, painting. Bane of my existence.

I started with the hair and it worked so well. I thought ah this is gonna be a breeze

Well anyway I had a lot of trouble doing the face bc my paint would just NOT go on evenly but again I just did as many coats until it looked even and just said fuck it about the visible brush strokes bc idk how to fix that.

I had to try her eyebrows a couple of times to get them even, but I’m pretty happy with them! Also, I drew in her eyelashes with a pen.

Next, the dress. Nothing worked. I think I didn’t thin my paint enough so it was just a struggle, there are heaps of visible paint strokes but again, I figured there wasn’t much I could do about it

I used a toothpick to scrape on some details which are VERY messy, especially in the front, but I honestly don’t know how I would have fixed it but that point, and since she’s going to be on a bookshelf, you won’t see it anyway. Also I used a sharpie to do the flowers haha.

I really do like the back.

There was a bit of ad lib with the details because I wanted them to be noticeable so I added them in a few places they’re not in canon

Anyway, then I sprayed her with some matte acrylic sealing spray, glued her back together, and she’s done! Her head does tilt back a bit because the 2 pops had different joint systems but you can barely tell.

She’s definitely not perfect, but this was a first for me in so many aspects so I’m pretty proud of her!

"non-modern Korean characters" you can say Chinese characters there was like a whole new script created because hanja didn't accurately reflect the language for people who weren't bilingual nobles and officials and merchants like there was a whole tributary state thing and everything
