I should at least be finding time to read TMNT Last Ronin’s Lost Years comics. Adulting today reminds of how I wasn’t mentally developed enough to watch Batman The Animated Series. But I still adored the late Kevin Conroy. So hearing SAINW Mikey again for a possible Last Ronin video game would have me posing as a smiling, lazy on his back, Garfield the Cat. I also hope for the additional spilling of graphic blood.😈😜😊

Different ghost king outfits! (o^ ^o) Always adored the au as soon as I heard about it, but I never tried to design what it would look like until now! Left outfit is where I tried inverting Danny's usual ghost fit as jumping point, the middle is going ham with more a space/ecto theme, and the last is focusing more on Danny's ice core/powers! The middle's cape, hood, and ruffles near the belt-like bit are all pieces of void/portals, reaching through can pull out anything, and it can shrink or expand to his will!

The royal court letting Wilhelm manage Simon’s media training/behaviour is so fucking funny like. This boy was introduced in s1 by being dragged away from a rave, who said fuck it and pulled rank in the most absurd ways in s2, who threatened the queen via speaker phone, who pulled a gun on his cousin, who impulsively changed his royal initiation speech midway and publicly came out to the entire country. That wilhelm? You want that wilhelm to tell his boyfriend to lay low? Ma’am pls 🤡

Imperial Crown of Russia or the Great Imperial Crown is one of the most outstanding examples of ‘regalia.’

Regalia is referred to as the emblems or insignia of royalty that survived through history.

It is a precious cultural heritage treasure — a well-documented and well-dated piece of jewellery.

Regalia jewellery pieces offer historians great insight into the gemstones used, their historical market values, and occurrences.

It also helps gemologists and jewellers to know how the gems were named and set on the piece of jewellery.

While royal crowns were usually made for individual rulers and later broken up, some of this royal regalia could be found in museums today.

Here are some interesting facts about one such royal artifact, the great Imperial Crown of Russia.

The Great Imperial Crown was made for Catherine the Great’s coronation, as the Russian Empress in 1762 AD, by Georg Friedrich Eckart and Jérémie Pauzié.

It is set with 4936 diamonds with a total weight of 2858 ct, 75 natural pearls, and a large 398.72 ct red spinel, historically known as “balas ruby,” which is among the largest ever reported in the literature, most probably from Badakhshan (today’s Tajikistan).

Imperial Crown of Russia was first worn by the Russian empress Catherine, followed by the subsequent seven emperors of her dynasty.

This royal regalia has remained a permanent fixture on the royal head.

This priceless artifact has been passed on to eight members of the Romanov family:

Catherine II, Peter III, Paul I, Alexander I, Nikolai I, Alexander II, Alexander III, and Nikolai II.

The Romanov dynasty survived till 1917, yet the crown publically appeared for the last time in 1906 at the opening ceremony of the first State Duma.

The crown was estimated to be worth $52 million in 1920.

The stones that the royal regalia comprises were sold off by the Bolsheviks and replaced in 1985.

Later in 1998, the crown was moved to the fund of Kremlin’s Diamond. Subsequently, it was declared to be priceless in a literal sense.

📷 : A modern replica version of the Imperial Crown was made in 2012 by Kristall-Smolensk, as part of the Jewellery project "Creation of Imperial Crown of Russia in Modern Interpretation" to celebrate the 400 years of the Romanov Dynasty and the 250 years of the Imperial Crown, as well as the 50th anniversary of the diamond industry in Russia.

Using white gold (original used silver) and 11,426 russian diamonds (original crown had 4,936 diamonds) from Alrosa with a total weight of 1180 ct, including 74 cultured pearls and a 384.71ct pear-shaped double rose cut purple tourmaline on top of the crown.

The spinel in the replica was replaced with a unique natural red tourmaline with a mass of about 400 karats.

-Interviewer: How did you make the prince fall in love with you?

-Simón: Not much, I just told him to his face that I hate his family and everything they represent and he was like "that's hot"

I’ll try not to have last weekend’s saddening discovery stop me from picking out my One True Spidey. Heh, interesting…which saying came first: “One True Pairing”, or “One True Shredder”? My money’s on the former.
