So what would Hild wear? The radical symmetry of Cuthbert's cross would appeal to her, but she's much richer than he wasβ€”and royal. So she might have considered very simple but richer version, with thick gold and large, foiled garnet for the arms and a big central cabochon garnet 3/n

Aces, my black cat

Aces, my black cat

I woke up at 5am and decided to go to the bathroom. On the way back to bed, a certain black lay down on the floor so that I tripped over him and went down like a garbage bag full of bacon grease. The entire left side of my body is one big bruise and my left knee isn't speaking to me. Fuck #Caturday
