To my fellow Lord Hermes’ worshipers/devotees, how are you guys celebrating tomorrow? 🪽

It’s going to be a Wednesday and also the fourth so double Lord Hermes representation! Currently I’m thinking I’ll light a couple extra candles in/around his altar bowl, bake a date honey cake (will be experimenting with a new recipe), and pour him a glass of wine

Monkey Saint Raids the Monastery (1965) 孫悟空大鬧雷音寺

Director: Chen Zhuosheng Screenwriter: Situ An Starring: Yu Jia / Li Feng-sheng / Li Xiangqin / Ruan Siu-fai / Li Long / Watermelon Planer / Zhu Yougao / You Guangguang / Jiang Baolian / Li Feng / Tan Dingkun / Guan Ren Genre: Action / Fantasy / Costume Country/Region of Production: Hong Kong, China Language: Cantonese Date: 1965-06-11 Duration: 91 minutes Also known as: 孙悟空大闹雷音 / Sun Wukong causes trouble in Leiyin Temple Type: Retelling

Summary:

The Spider Spirit lost to Sun Wukong and the Eight Immortals and was injured. When she met the Dragon King of the East China Sea, she coveted her beauty, so she disguised herself as a folk girl and followed the Dragon King to the Dragon Palace to heal her injuries. The Spider Spirit stole the Dragon King's treasure, and then met the Yellow-Browed Boy, and induced him to conspire to set up a fake Leiyin Temple to assassinate the four master and disciples of Tang Monk in an attempt to eat Tang meat and become immortal. Unexpectedly, Tang Monk was deceived and fell into the trap. After many twists and turns, Wukong finally escaped and asked for help from the heavenly soldiers and generals. However, due to the powerful magic weapon of the Yellow Eyebrow Boy, Wukong and others were still defeated. Later, Wukong met Maitreya Buddha, the master of the Yellow-Browed Boy, and Maitreya Buddha took action to subdue the bad disciples. The Spider Spirit was defeated and escaped from the Dragon Palace, seeking protection from the Dragon King. However, Wukong revealed her identity and was finally captured by the Dragon King in the Thousand-Year Clam. Wukong rescued his master and his younger brothers and continued to the west to learn scriptures.

Heya guys! I’m back with another post! But this one is about Fez Perry!

Under his fur, he wears the amulet of Juatchadoon, a siren pendant, and he mainly wears a fez on his head as Agent FezP. FezP also wears a fedora on his head but he wears it on underneath of his fez. Around his arm, he wears a light teal turtle bracelet which is his miraculous in camouflage mode.

First Appearance: Phineas and Ferb and The Temple of Juatchadoon

Alinement: Good(in PaF) and Evil(In WOY)

Likes: Being very sassy, showing himself off, wearing a fez, being manipulative, hanging out with my brothers and sisters, making dramatic entrances with his backup dancers, dancing, music, my theme song “Perry in a Fez”, and Favorite Songs: What’s My Name by China Anne McClain and Perry in a Fez

Dislikes: Wearing my fedora under my fez, being questioned about my fez, and why he’s not in Egypt

Miraculous: Turtle Miraculous

Kwami: Wayzz

Hero Persona: CaraFezPerry

Villain Persona: ShellShockFezPerry

Powers/Abilities: Shell-Ter and Protection(as CaraFez), Apportion, Clairvoyance, Cross-Dimension Awareness, Illusion manipulation, Intangibility, Innate Capability, Nigh Omnipotence, Laser Manipulation, Levitation, Molecular Manipulation, Nightmare/Dream Manipulation, Nightmare/Dream Inducement, Possession, Pyrokinesis, Size Shifting, Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Mind Reading(as a half dream demon) enchanted singing voice which allows to manipulate or control others’ actions with its compelling tones. The more of the negative energy he consumes, the stronger his voices becomes, and the farther he could spread his good magic(as half siren but uses it for good)

What his speaking voice sounds like: Very cool, very calm, very collected, and he has a Sassy accent.

Status: Active and immortal

Voiced by/Speaking and Chattering Voice: Dee Bradley Baker

Singing Voice: China Anne McClain

Personality: He can be best defined as “The Sassy Bossy Flirty Dramatic Entertainment" younger brother to Perry. He kinda has same aspects as Perry, but the difference is that he is mostly sassy, bossy, dramatic, and entertainment. This is seen from the fact that he brought backup dancers to a long-lost temple and when he was dancing. He also seems loyal enough to wear a fez even though he wasn't in Egypt. He does have a difficult relationship with Perry but sometimes they get along with the rest of his brothers and sisters. As Agent FezP, he is proud of his abilities as a fez platypus and wants to prove himself to Perry that he can be a good secret agent for the O.W.C.A. As a dream demon, he can be manipulative and he is always sassy in order to get what he wants. When he’s making a deal with someone, his greenish teal hand starts burning with light teal flames. As a siren, he plays with someone’s emotions and he’s ready to show off his singing voice and feeds on the positivity around him.

1869 - The Temple of Artemis is uncovered - Ephesus, Turkey

An aesthetic history of Eastern Mediterranean archaeology

“I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon, on which there is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the Colossos of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus. But when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliance, and I said. "Lo, apart from Olympus, the sun never looked on anything so grand."

I’ve been listening to The Bible in a Year podcast. I started it about a week after I lost my job. And I’m glad I did, because starting my mornings with it helps me step outside myself and my worries.

Two days ago I had to stop the playback and sit for a moment, because I’d reached the part of Leviticus where God lays out the temple offering for presenting newborns. For sons, the couple is supposed to offer a turtle dove and a lamb, unless they cannot afford a lamb. In which case, they are to offer two turtle doves.

And I had to stop because I remembered.

Mary and Joseph offered two turtle doves.

I just had to stop.

More work from the second year of Uni. This here is the first proper team game project I worked on. With my teammates Will, Will and Maksym. The game: Kubo's Adventure (Or something like that.) You play as Kubo the turtle, a ruins explorer, out on the hunt for an artefact deep within a pyramid.

The ruins were shared by lizards and birds and has four wings representing different seasons. I unfortunatly cannot find all of the art for this, there was an interesting sketch of a indoor waterway but unsure if that got corrupted or lost. Luckily I had uploaded the most important 3D assets too and some bonus ones back when sketchfab didn't have a limit. (And cool rendering/lighting scenes pre set up)

The Statues

The artefact/goal and Puzzle pieces. An ancient crown of pure gold.

Some of the props dotted around. Really I should have put them together in to one scene but I wasn't thinking about it like that when I uploaded them.
