Jon Snow from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. He wears a mail shirt and chausses, covered by a black leather-covered corrazina, black leather greaves, and jack chains and gauntlets, and a black woollen cloak fastened with a bronze brooch.

"Fate often saves an undoomed man when his courage prevails"

Beowulf, hero of the Weder Geats. In that age of the world, no man was kinder, stronger, more honorable, or more worthy of praise.

Friend of the Scyldingas. Killer of Grendel, enemy of the swedes, and dragonslayer.

Absolutely. I was able to get my hands on a copy of LOTR Illustrated Edition, and it's a real treat.

Man, it must be tough making ads for DND podcasts. They NEVER sound appealing. Even the ones I do actually listen to, I wouldn’t have started them if I just heard their ads.

"Bisexuals always make Pride about themselves"

Yeah, you stupid bitch. We do.

We're supposed to.

It's Pride.

We're supposed to celebrate all queer identities, especially our own.

If you don't like that you can fuck off.

And even when it was popular, I feel like it was used more like an instrument than as a coverup for bad vocals.

A knight in mid-15th century German armour, with a fluted Kastenbrust cuirass and a bicoque helmet. The knight carries a longsword in one hand and a banner of the Inclusion pride flag in the other, and is wearing a rainbow-patterned houppelande with dagged hems underneath the cuirass.

Happy Pride Month!
Given everything going on right now, I think this year's is especially important. Never take your rights for granted. Never rest on "It wouldn't happen here." Love extravagantly, and know no shame.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze from the Assassin’s Creed series, dressed in 1490’s Florentine garb. He wears joined hose patterned in red and yellow, and a patterned slashed doublet over a billowy white shirt. He has a longsword and dagger hanging from his belt. In other configurations, he wears a lucco (a renaissance florentine overgarment) that can function as a cloak and hide armour beneath when he wears it. The armour in question is a brigandine and a short sleeveless mail shirt. His signature white hood can be worn as a chaperon to look less conspicuous.

What if Ezio Auditore was from actual 1490’s Florence? (breakdown in the alt text)

Beowulf, depicted as a burly man in 6th century Germanic garb. He has long hair and a bushy blond bear, and wears a mail shirt covered by a navy blue wrap coat, hemmed with a tablet-woven trim.

This week I've been neglecting to talk about "From the Sea Fret" because I've been very mentally bleh.

However, I am absolutely stunned by the interest folks have taken to being a beta reader for me. It's been so fantastic.

There's only a few days left to sign up to be a #betareader!

A knight in his armour. He is tall, with chin-length blond hair and a short beard. His armour is typical of a 1390’s German knight; a full plate harness, with a short sleeved coat with dagged hems. He holds a mace in one hand and his helmet, a pig-faced bascinet, in the other. His shield, emblazoned with a white goat on a blue field, hangs from a strap on his shoulder, and a longsword at his side pokes out from behind it. While his kit is knightly but not gaudy, an intricately decorated pair of hourglass gauntlets betray his former wealth before joining the Order of Saint Michael, which involved him giving up his lands granted to him by the Livonian Order, his former employer.

I recently bought some Posca markers and wanted to test them out, so I decided to do some sketchbook drawings of Senshi and Laios from Dungeon Meshi.
