Exploring the Autumn Beauty of Gridania
-------- My favourite kind of mods are the mashup kind. I can still blend in with the world around me and yet still stand out.

Manuscript Monday
This Insular manuscript was created by Irish Catholics, who were well known to be stewards of knowledge and artistic ability during the ‘dark ages’ of the 6th-10th centuries CE. In particular, the Insular style consists of flattened, two-dimensional figures of people and animals accompanied by elaborate ornamentation throughout its pages. We often see interlacing designs and Celtic knots within this ornamentation and the proportions and rendering of the figures and architecture seen throughout the manuscript are not always realistic. For example, in the Book of Kells, produced around 800 CE by Irish monks in Scottish west-coast island of Iona, the columns holding up the arches on canon tables are circular and would lack structural integrity in the real world, for obvious reasons. We can see the flattened, strange rendering of figures on folio 32v (shown below), which is a depiction of Christ Enthroned. Christ’s knee is lifted to hold up the codex in his hand, but the placement of his knee is anatomically incorrect. We also see the flatness of the figure and the inclusion of ornamentation throughout the image, and we can see even more of this decoration on carpet pages throughout the manuscript. The Insular style was not only limited to manuscripts but was also used in metal objects like broaches, chalices, sculpture, and architecture which are also said to have been inspiration for Insular style manuscripts.
Tumblr media
Our copy of the facsimile of the Book of Kells was published by the Faksimile Verlag of Luzern, Switzerland in 1990 and includes a separate volume with commentary edited by the noted Trinity College librarian Peter Fox. If you have the urge to see the original Book of Kells, it is shown in the Trinity College Library in Dublin. The library shows two folios of the manuscript at a time and changes the pages shown every twelve weeks.

Gave my best attempt at guessing what she looks like without the jacket. The circle thing on the torso is supposed to be Bellibolt's not-eyes but it kinda came out looking like a record oops
Bonus versions without the magnemites

I'm approaching five years in this game (August 19th!!!) and I wanted to look back on some of my characters that have carried me through everything from my first map completion to finishing legendary raid armor.
I may come and go in game, but my love for this game never wanes. I love the story, the combat, the fashion, the freedom we are given to make our characters truly feel unique. I can't wait to be looking back in another five years, reminiscing on all the memories created here ♥

I very much hope this is the last batch of characters in my kitty’s world, but these are mostly minor minor characters that I liked thinking about way too much UvU
And if you REALLY must know more...
Iona is a rival funeral director to Anstey but they chill, and Padraig is married to her. Nairna is a cook/chef who Stanly has a wee crush on. Dusk and Lucy were childhood friends of Cerulean and Lionel, the former a grunt to Raoul and the latter a farmer. And, Harri and Corsen were “popular kid” friends with Anstey back in the day, but are now acquainted with Lionel.

Have some twins Scale Mail Babies 🙃 the boy is called Bearwch and the girl Ioana
Tumblr media
Pose from pagura_0162 More of Bearwch and Ioana's story and art under the "Keep Reading"
I hc most ghosts don’t feel the need to have kids (or "carnal intercourse"), more interest by their obsessions, so ghost babies and core eggs are rare. Ghost don’t reproduce like humans but do a sort of ritual with their hands joined to create a core cocoon where their offsprings bloom from after several weeks/months/years (depend of the egg). Shapes, patterns, textures and hardness of eggs vary, but the most common form is pure acid green sighlty squishy. Some colors are not easy/impossible to find in the Ghost Zone, and if the egg is especially pretty it’s making it vulnerable to thiefs and hunters, either for selling either for eating (aka ghosthunger and scrambled gheggs asdfghjkl). Having twins coming from a single core egg is even more rare. Luckily for future Bearwch and Ioana, they are well protected by their parents and their friends.

Not everybody is good with kids, and Ioana doesn’t care about the freshly crowned king’s feelings, at all

Iona is a bit of a tomboy and assertive, but also a bit agressive and pushy, borderline bullying sometimes, especially toward her little brother (even if she cares about him a lot). Iona is also very intelligent, strong and mature; she learnt to use a sword and a bow at a very young age, and created arrows with her core. Though able to used both she preferred to perfect her skill with the bow. She can also use both her forms & powers to perfection. Even if Iona has excellent capabilities and natural talents, she hide some insecurities and still works a lot to hope one day be deserving of the Dragon Kingdom’s throne.
Bearwch is a shy nerdy boy, he has some difficulties expressing his needs/wishes and is ashamed of his appearance. He is also very smart and courageous, he probably has more habilities than his “big” sister, but his lack of confidence make him lose control over situations. When he is shy, scared or angry his green eyes fade, so it’s very easy to read him. Bearwch prefers to use his sword and close combat, maybe as a way to prove & differentiate himself and not live in his sister’s shadow.
Bearwch, despite his skull, is more expressive and a little bubble of sunshine, making friends easily, unlike his sister Iona whose face is more emotionless and cold despite being made of “flesh”.

Maybe I should do a post about how I see their future, who will have the throne and succeed Dora 🙃
It will be a lot of angst and siblings rivalry 😔

Earlier this week, I set up the first iteration of my ocean altar. This is something I’d been thinking about doing for awhile. The ocean has always been my happy place, and I live even farther away from it now than I did growing up. After reading book on ocean magic and sea witchery, I decided to go for it. It already has such an incredibly calming energy to it, and I’m going to strive to incorporate ocean magic into my practice 🌊🐚
