Calling this guy done!

I had a lot of fun with this Egyptian Royal Guard. I tried my hand at NMM for the axe. Overall, I'm happy with it. Is it perfect? No. But it's better than my last attempt at NMM.

I hope you like it!

2 - 4 A Locked-Room Mystery

You telling me I have to WAIT for new designs you kidding???

I have some 'neat plans' for MOTLE, idk might include New Fucked-Up Lore because what else is the cartoon for?? But I'll have to see

DON'T READ THE EPISODES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS!!

Little Logico wanders outside, and is immediately grabbed!!

LOGICO: OH FUCK NO, I AM NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL!

As charming as that is, that’s not why the people picked him up. He’s under arrest! He’s thrown in a little jail cell - this is NOT the luxury prison Gico is used to. 

COPPER: THERE you are you little PRICK! LOGICO: OH GOOD GOD!

Yep, she’s here, alongside Champagne and Bluski. 

BLUSKI: Hey. CHAMPAGNE: Hi. LOGICO: Of course, of COURSE the usual suspects are following me. WHY AM I HERE?? PERSON: A prisoner has been murdered and you’re the murder person. LOGICO: Good to know. I blame Officer Copper. COPPER: Chillax, my brother. I’m not a psycho cop anymore. Heh, around here, if they thought I looked at a guy wrong they’d put me down as a ‘bad dog’. LOGICO: Right.

In what appears to be a miniature theater for watching interrogations, Logico digs a scrap of paper from under a beautiful couch.

“In a street fight, ten people always beat one.”

Champ checks the passage.

CHAMPAGNE: This is from the Big Red Book. Major Red wrote this. LOGICO: Do you know who that is? CHAMPAGNE: Heh. Yeah. Don’t wanna get yourself in with him. [walks away] LOGICO: ...Care to share ANYTHING else??

Logi explores a phrase Irratino always whispered to him - the tallest suspect has the cheapest pen. Now just by looking at them, Champagne is the tallest guy in the room, but by legal standards, Bluski is supposed to be taller, so his pen is very cheap.

LOGICO: It- It makes sense if you look it up.

Seeing that Logico ‘caught’ his pen trick, Bluski heads to the elevator and travels way up.

LOGICO: How big is this station? CHAMPAGNE: 25 stories. Final floor, they’ve been known to throw people out the window.  LOGICO: This is horrific. I’m starting to miss the luxury prison. CHAMPAGNE: We all do mate.

Irratino is back home, asleep. He is dreaming of a human police woman wearing boots. I guess something different happens in the dream, and he shifts and giggles. But don’t worry, Logico got the clue somehow. This obviously means Copper kicked the prisoner to death! She shakes her head madly and spits all over the place.

COPPER: HOW CAN IT BE ILLEGAL IF A COP DOES IT???? LOGICO: I hate you so much. COPPER: NO, YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME! I’M A ‘BAD DOG’! I’M- LOGICO: Oh. OH, YOU MEANT LIKE THAT- PERSON: No, no.

A couple humans walk over and start creepily petting and patting Copper.

PERSON: There is no need for a consequence - it was only a prisoner. COPPER: Huh. Kinda like these guys~ LOGICO: I hATE this so much. Can I leave now?!?! COPPER: Whatever, man.

Logico tears away. He needs to get to the violet isles as soon as possible… for some reason.

The end!

Let's try to ignore Copper flirting with some background humans

(ok slight rant but I've saved it for the end so as to not ward people off, you can skip it)

I know it sounds petty but like I swear to god if anyone posts a murdle artwork, the entire tumblr fandom will notice (which is great btw!), but then if I post an artwork it's only the same three or so people who might look at it and it's just...

is it really THAT bad?? like... what am I doing wrong... ngl it's starting to feel less like the art quality and more personal...

but um... yea. i'm trying my best i guess

Uh chonkers jumpscare

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

Planetary Magic Practices: Mars

Today we continue with our series of short practices for connecting to each of the traditional planets on each of the days that they rule. Tuesday is the day of Mars. Attuning to Mars can be energizing and activating, and also sometimes challenging. It can bring up harm, frustration, or rage, which are difficult emotions—but those are places that we need to feel in order to heal.

Mars is considered the malefic of the nocturnal sect in Hellenistic astrology. Mars severs and separates, the planet of action and taking charge. It is associated with aggression, conflict, and war. As a malefic planet, it can present difficulties, specifically denying, refusing, or challenging the significations of the other planets. It is associated with the warrior. Mars rules the signs of Aries and Scorpio, and is exalted in Capricorn.

For today—or any Tuesday—you might make a small altar for Mars with the things you have available. You can look to the list of correspondences below for the kinds of colors, stones, numbers, and tarot cards you might incorporate. Add things that you associate with Mars—maybe red candles or things made of iron or steel, like nails or knives, even miniature soldier action figures. Once you build your altar, take some time to be with it as an aesthetic experience. Notice how being with this altar makes you feel. Drop your attention down into your body and observe what sensations arise as you observe the objects you’ve gathered for Mars.

Mars

Day: Tuesday Number: 5 Colors: Red Metals: “red copper and all kinds of sulphur” (Picatrix)

Stones: “part of glass and premonada, and bloodstone and part of carnelian and onyx and in all stones that are red and tawny or speckled” (Picatrix)

Chakra: Manipura, the Solar Plexus Chakra Mantra: Om Sri Angarakaya Namaha

Mudra: Because the thumb is associated with Mars, and because of Mars’ active quality, I use prana mudra for stimulating and focusing energy, bringing the tip of the thumb to the tips of the ring and little finger, with the index and middle finger extended. There is also a mudra called angaraka mudra which is used to depict Mars in Indian dance traditions.

Tarot: Knights, especially the Knight of Swords, but I will often meditate on different Knight cards depending on what triplicity Mars is located in. So, for example, as I write this, Mars is in Virgo—and earth sign—so I might spend time meditating with the Knight of Pentacles. (In the Golden Dawn tradition, Mars was associated with The Tower card.)

Mars Portal by Talon Abraxas

[mazovshanka]

Yesterday I finally took some photos of Caspar and the raven. I decided to show Caspar as a fighter. He's skilled with daggers and sabre. He's a wanderer so he has to protect himself from villains and dangerous creatures. He also has a mysterious guardian - a raven watching him from afar. That raven has metallic shiny feathers and ruby eyes. Caspar doesn't know why the bird follows him but somehow he feels the raven's not evil.

I have to say it's very tricky to find decent props at a good price. Since I couldn't find 1/4 scale daggers, I had to use some metal charms. The miniature replica of Polish sabre from 1921 looks much better, though it's too heavy for the doll to wield it. The raven's also too small for my boy. I suppose the perspective can do the trick in the photos. I customised the bird a little. I used copper antique paste on its feathers and painted the eyes ruby red. Well, it's actually more magenta but since natural rubies do have such hue, I guess it's OK. Nevertheless, I like how it all turned out.

Falls on Me

Day Four: Morning

Rating: Teen

Previous Chapters: Chapter One , Chapter Two , Chapter Three , Chapter Four

Characters: Gale Dekarios, Shadowheart, Karlach, and F!Tav: Copper

Warning: Gale POV, Mentions of Chronic Pain, Gale x Female Tav

Gale is hanging out around the campfire waiting for the scouting team to come back when he has a flare up of pain.

—

Day 4- Morning

Gale was out by the campfire, enjoying his small talk with Shadowheart. He found it fascinating to hear the cleric’s devotion to her goddess, even if it was an evil one. But Gale finds himself more captivated by the shadows reflected in her deep green eyes.

The other half of the team was out scouting the goblin camp so they could figure out their next plan of action. 

Only himself, Shadowheart, Karlach, and Copper were currently at the camp. The four of them are being paired up more and more to allow the sneakier team members to scout for danger, which is perfectly fine with Gale. He despises crouching. It hurts his knees and he feels it's an unfitting position for a former archmage.

Shadowheart chuckles softly and it draws Gale's attention to the direction of Copper, Karlach, and their furry camp companions. A dog named Scratch and a newly orphaned owlbear cub they rescued from a goblin raiding party.

“I was worried that the smelly little beast was going to eat us, or at least the dog,” Shadowheart says fondly. “But it looks like everybody’s getting along over there.”

Gale and Shadowheart watch the women throw a red ball for Scratch while the owlbear follows close behind, joy emanating from the wild little creature. 

Karlach also had a big smile on her face that made her appear more lovely than usual, Gale thought.

After a few moments of silence, as the two spell casters watch the game of fetch unfold, Shadowheart excuses herself to her tent. But before she could get that far, Karlach enthusiastically waves the cleric over to see the owlbear cub and the Sharran seemed happy to oblige.

Karlach starts talking excitedly to Shadowheart, asking her what she thought a good name for the cub would be. While the two other women debate between Owlbert or Dark Feather as names. Copper drifts away from the girls allowing them to have their fun. 

Gale watches the strong graceful form of the young monk, her auburn braid swaying behind her as she walks towards him. Realizing he was staring too long, Gale quickly busied himself, gathering up his book and pretending to read to cover up his gawking.

“Gods, I’ve been away from society too long.” Gale scolds himself, staring extra hard at his pages just as Copper stands next to him. “I’ve been acting like a besotted schoolboy to every attractive person I see.”

Copper doesn’t start a conversation with him, taking his nose in the book at face value and leaving him alone to read. Instead, she starts slicing apples and places them in the cooking pan to warm. 

As the young monk cooks, Gale actually finds himself relaxing and ends up flipping to the exact page he was reading earlier. Sinking further into the comfort of an old hobby, Gale only rouses when the scent of spiced fruit is right under his nose. Looking up, Copper is smiling down at him.

“I was just about to give up,” Copper jokes, setting the cooked apples next to Gale, as she settles down next to him. “It seems feeding your mind is more important to you than feeding your stomach.” 

“It wouldn’t be the first time I skipped a meal for academic pursuits,” Gale says good-naturedly, reaching for a slice. Both pleased and vexed that the young woman decided to feed him. “Tara often had to put herself between me and the pages to remind me to head down to dinner.”

“So what’s so engrossing about that book?” Copper asks, taking a slice for herself.

“Well, it’s a primer on Mythical Beasts.” Gale describes. “I was reading the chapter about miniature giant space hamsters.”

“Sounds like a contradiction.” Copper scowls, biting into another piece of fruit. 

“They sound like fascinating little creatures. Apparently, they choose well-muscled human males as their steeds when visiting our realm.” Laughing slightly at the absurdity of such a creature existing, Gale playfully flexes his bicep and adds. “Sadly, I don’t think I’ll ever meet one.”

“You need to train a little more in strength to achieve that goal.” Copper gives him a shy smirk that she tries to cover with her hand. 

“Alas, I think my considerable talents are best… Aughhh!” A sharp pain shoots down Gale’s arm, cutting off his sentence as his orb acts up again. He quickly clutches his hand to his chest. His fingers tingle and stiffen within seconds of the pain starting. 

“Here, give me your hand,” Copper says quickly and with authority that it startles Gale and he complies with the command with only a little hesitation. The monk already was activating her Ki and the soft glow engulfs both their hands. 

Copper starts applying pressure to the palm of his hand in a circular motion and the stiffness lessens while another pulse of pain hits Gale. He grits his teeth, as the woman works. Pulling and rubbing at his fingers while applying her Ki to combat the degradation Gale’s orb was causing him.

After a few minutes, the attack ebbs away and Gale finds himself just watching Copper’s tan hands in his, as she massages his hands. “Warm, Strong hands,” he admires the contrast between her lightly scarred hands and his delicate long-fingered ones. 

“She’s definitely seen battles before, unlike me where battle spells were for show.” Gale thinks, frowning at how much his life has changed since he got inflicted with the orb and how he got kidnapped by the illithid while in search of magical items for said infliction. 

But if Gale was being honest with himself, his adventuring out of his tower in Waterdeep was more of a sacrificial journey than one of hope. He didn’t want to drag Tara, his mother, or even Waterdeep itself into his destruction. 

If he were to die it was to be alone…but now he dragged his (somewhat) innocent travel companions into his trouble since he was too weak and too scared of the tadpole lodged in his brain to venture off on his own. 

“Gale, are you ok? Does it still hurt?” Copper asks, concern in her grey eyes. “You look upset.”

“No, I’m fine,” Gale says coldly, before realizing his tone and smiles at the monk to make up for his attitude. “I’m better now, thank you,” he says pleasantly. “But I think I want my hand back even if it was lovely of you to hold it.” 

“Ok...” Copper says hesitantly before giving Gale’s wrist one last squeeze before letting go. Gale almost regrets the loss of the strong gentle pressure anchoring him down but he mustn’t get dependent. 

He needs to be strong. He needs to be useful. Above all, he needs to be Gale of Waterdeep, Chosen of Mystra. 

Not Gale Dekarios the fool that lost it all.

A paint up of this model here. The base is 3d printed too, but I can't find the file I used. :\

This is Very Not Perfect, but I got tired of fiddling with it and decided to call it done. I did learn some things - mostly that you can paint minis to a mildly reasonable standard with craft paint if that's what you got, but also not to print minis this big in solid resin.

Anyway, now I wanna paint more lol.

Nine of my favourite flora and fauna photos I took in September 2023 and month summary

The photos are of; Kestrel at Lakeside Country Park, Clouded Yellow at Old Winchester Hill, Osprey from a boat trip around Poole Harbour with Birds of Poole Harbour, Red Deer at Bushy Park, Setaceous Hebrew Character at home, Black Darter at Thursley Common, oxeye daisy and rose hips at Lakeside and spider with prey in the front garden.

As hoped in the midst of bird migration, changing times in the year and with this past week off work to pack with big trips September was a super and packed wildlife watching and photography month for me with so much seen and many places visited. For birdwatching migration was the theme of the month again as I picked up birds I needed Yellow Wagtail and Little Stint with a few seen for my year list, seeing the Red-necked Phalarope a week ago Pennington brought in by a storm was a massive bonus as a top species for my birding year and Monday's Minsmere trip paid off to allow us to see one we wanted to a Bittern. It's surely been my finest year of Ospreys with the amount I've seen and September contained much of the string of late summer/autumn sightings in the south which has been a phenomenal run for me. Other standout birds for me this month have of course been those two White-tailed Eagles seen on the boat trip too, Marsh Harrier, Peregrine, Hobby, a fair few Avocets, Ruffs and Curlew Sandpipers such fine and gorgeous waders in a strong wader month, Spoonbill and a smartly marked and colourful duck quartet of many Teals and Gadwall and Wigeon and Shoveler. Great Crested Grebe, Kingfisher, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Jay alongside Kestrel and Coot were patch highlights at Lakeside this month with Jays enjoyed elsewhere as we get further into autumn.

For butterflies the final piece of my extraordinary 2023 jigsaw was laid when we excitingly saw our first Clouded Yellow of the year on a hot and sunny day at the start of the month at Old Winchester Hill, an exhilarating moment with an exquisite species. Whilst the butterfly season quietened down overall in a month with a fair bit of hot and sunny weather a few species prevailed/re-emerged into my year with great and in places numerous times seeing Small Copper, Small Heath, Meadow Brown, Speckled Wood, Green-veined White, Peacock, Comma and of course Red Admiral this month with me making the most of Chalkhill and Adonis Blue in the Old Winchester Hill visit. For much of the month we did moth traps at weekends, this delve into an activity we hadn't done before allowed us to see many gems such as the Setaceous Hebrew Character, Small Blood-vein, Treble-bar, Garden Carpet, Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, Large Yellow Underwing, Light Emerald, the Nutmeg, Vine's Rustic and loads of L-album Wainscots, Willow Beauty and Square-spot Rustics. It was fun doing this and the Snout was a key moth this month that came into the house.

Dragonflies and damselflies did take the baton from butterflies a bit as expected, with many wonderful views of Migrant Hawker, Southern Hawker and Common Darter such key species as the season goes on at a few places and Blue-tailed Damselfly and Common Blue Damselfly. Alluring miniature Black Darters at Thursley were a treat to see on Tuesday with them my first of the year my dragonfly and damselfly year list like my five others this year became my highest ever, and I was thrilled to see Emerald Damselflies again this year at Minsmere and Thursley this week. It was a really good month for areas of nature I'm less familiar with especially spiders with many seen well from orbweavers out the front to a harvestman at Thursley. Hornet, bees, wasp, beetles, ants, crickets and grasshoppers were highlights this month too.

It was a mega mammal month with Red, Fallow, Sika and Muntjac Deer, Red Squirrel and Water Vole massive species of the week off over the past week real big highlights of my wildlife year, and I saw Rabbit, Roe Deer and Grey Squirrel well this month. For flowers the season waned a little but species such as common toadflax, devil's-bit scabious, creeping thistle, wild carrot, pineappleweed, ragwort, water mint, common, musk and marsh mallow and heathers kept me going. Sundew was a blockbuster of my month this week at Thursley. In a bumper year for hawthorn especially I was very much taken by fruits this month enjoying loads of hawthorn and rose hips, blackthorn sloes, guelder rose berries and acorns especially. I also enjoyed seeing seed heads of the likes of carrot, hogweed and ragwort too. Shortly I shall do another post with nine of my favourite landscape and fungi photos I took this month and some thoughts. I hope you all have a good October.

So, I just thought of something that would have been pretty fun to do on tumblr, but it would have to wait until next year.

Progress on the royal horses! Overall, I'm happy with it so far. Next up, the chariot and the people after I finish the highlights etc.

Stay tuned for Ramses II and his royal posse.

The first of the major funfair holiday events has just kicked off. Easter Eggs Of course everyone is aware of the tradition of giving eggs for Easter. But have you ever thought why? Easter is a Christian festival, and for Christians giving eggs symbolises new life. It is claimed this practice started with the early Christians of Mesopotamia who stained birds eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ. There is also an association in Western Christians not being allowed to eat eggs during Lent, but allowed them at Easter. A common practice in medieval England was for children to go door to door begging for eggs on the Saturday before Lent. These were handed out as special treats. I remember during my youth going door to door. Many of the elder generation would give us hard boiled eggs that had been painted. The better of neighbours actually gave us chocolate. Many would also press a few coppers on us, when you were five or six years old, the few pounds you accrued made you think you were rich. Antiquity It wasn't an exclusively Christian thing though. London's British Museum contains some large ostrich eggs that have been carved and painted. These have been found in tombs. After investigation it is believed that eggs like this can date back up to 5000 years, well before the Christian religion. And decorated eggs up to 60,000 years old have been discovered in Africa. Chocolate Eggs J.S. Fry and sons of England introduced their first chocolate egg in 1873, closely followed by Cadbury's in 1875. Cadbury's created the modern egg with the introduction of pure cocoa butter that could be moulded into hollow egg shapes. Now up to 80 million chocolate eggs are consumed in the UK alone. It's nice to see the steady move away from plastic packaging to more environmentally friendly alternatives. Faberge Eggs Personally my favourite eggs are those produced by the Russian craftsman at Faberge for the last two Russian Tsars. Masterpieces of decorative art, many contain hidden surprises such as clockwork birds or miniature toys. Read the full article

"Stairstallation"

2021? Somewhere in the COVID times, genuinely can't remember when - it's all a blur. Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland.

"I created the Stairstallation out of frustration for not having any studio spaces or venues for the presentation of visual work during the pandemic. Of course there were much more pressing issues during this time, some of which I personally suffered. As students of fine arts however, we had little to no balance in what should be a relationship between consuming the horrors of the world and expressing one's feelings in relation to their position in all of this.

I grew tired of making miniatures (all I could make due to the lack of space in my small room at the time) because I longed to be immersed in a world of my own creation. This is the reason I began making installations in the first place, both as a form of escapism from the world, and celebration of the beauty that I take inspiration from.

I had longed to create something outside of my bedroom for the first time in too long. I picked a 'nothing' area of the house, the stairwell, as I figured it wouldn't disturb my housemates as well as bringing life to an area that is always passed through but never sat in like our bedrooms or the living room. The installation itself was claustrophobic to walk through, as a representation of how cooped - up I'd been feeling. However, it was also cozy and mesmerizing, encouraging us to pause and take in part of our surroundings that was ignored during our daily routine. It had certainly brought excitement and novelty to an otherwise mundane existence during the time-warp that was the pandemic." - Soup Kip <3

Materials: Paper, fabric, wool, safety pins, wood, polymer clay, copper wire, acrylic paint, watercolor, marker.

Objects: (made by me) Macrame'd plastic bottles, crochet hat, diary with a sewn patchwork cover, decorated bin I had found in the street using magazine clippings, glue and red wool. (not made by me) Disco ball, snake plant, moon piñata, plastic rabbit, mannequin head.

I believe that there is a Father John Misty song for every theme that I explore within my work and research. Here's one that was not written about the pandemic but felt like it at the time. Bigly philosophical, but I've already written a paper about this song. Let me know if you'd be interested in reading it.
