These giraffe images are about 18 feet high, located on a high, curving slope at Dabous, Niger in the Aïr Mountains. They were made ca. 7000 BCE. More than 800 smaller rock engravings are nearby. Photo Matthew Paulson, 2015. Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 2.0; cropped at left.

i'm reading more and more about waterdeep, and i found mention of this famous alleyway in volo's waterdeep enchiridion:

and i couldn't help but think of this:

i wouldn't think it unlikely that gale may have gone through here, with his parents perhaps - his mother morena and the father, who would abandon them - looking to buy fresh meat to prepare a delicious meal. all those recipes gale would later learn.

i can see a much, much younger gale spotting a little stray kitten and begging for it to come home with them, only to be denied.

with a heart so big he cries over a burned rose bush, little gale would definitely cry over little kittens without homes.

#i do wonder what those carved stone heads might have said to him too #hmm hmmm #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #meta: mybg3

A Strange Stone Carving, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria.

An oddity, likely two centuries older than the Loki Stone, depicting two fierce hellhounds fighting over a human head. The hounds are conjoined at the head. It is thought that the pagan imagery may be Norse influenced.

Jet-black Polyhedral Seal of The Western Wei General

This multi-faceted jet seal of the Western Wei dynasty, belonged to the famous General Dugu Xin (獨孤信). It has 8 edges and 26 sides: 18 square and 8 triangular ones. It is the ancient polyhedral seal with the largest number of facets.

Among them, 14 sides are engraved with inscriptions. The inscriptions range from one-character to five-character. The functionality is differentiated, including the use in official letters, orders, document labeling, etc.

The jet, a composite organic gem, from which the seal is carved, is known in China as “coal jade” (煤玉).

The total height of the object is 4.5 cm, the width is 4.35 cm, and the weight is 75.7 g.

The seal was accidentally discovered in 1981 by Song Qing, a student from Xunyang county (旬陽縣), Ankang, Shaanxi. While returning home from school, he picked up a weird object in the gravel on the roadside, which aroused his curiosity with its bizarre shape. Song Qing had no idea what it was. Having examined the inscriptions at home, he gave the find for examination to the local archaeological museum, where the artifact was considered not of particular cultural value.

The seal vegetated on the outskirts of the local exposition for another decade, until it was revealed and recognized by a prominent researcher Wang Hanzhang (王翰章) from the Xi'an Institute of Literature and History. On display in Shaanxi History Museum (陝西曆史博物館).

... and then Fennec got to make exagerated funny faces at the baby while Boba and Din figured themselves out after the exhibit.

I'd thought I was going to miss the deadline for the @bobadinweek's AU bingo with this one since it got away from me a little, but with the extension I'm more than on time! So here is the Soulmate sqaure fill for my card - I know it's pushing more of a 'reincarnation AU' possibility, but I don't have that on my card, and those two are related anyway. So technically I doubled down on it 😌

#bobadin #bobadinaubingo #boba/din #boba x din #boba fett #din djarin #fennec shand #grogu #the mandalorian fanart #tbobf fanart #tbobf #the mandalorian #sw fanart #my art #I really love grogu in the last one he turned out so cute #also dad is very well trained and he gives grogu a finger to hold on to at all times in a foreign environment #din takes his kid to museums fight me #I've cleaned up and worked that sappy bobadin sketch into the shape and form I really wanted to in the first one #and now I don't know how to proceed with the actual drawing XD #like I wanted to make it look like mando murals carved and painted into stone #but that's kinda void now isn't it?#what is left to do after this?#look I worked out that soulmate tattoo in great detail but it didn't translate to such a small scale #it's got tatooine sands and kamino waves and the moons #so if you know me that also means that they'll have to dig out cobb from the queerest part of this AU possible at some point #just saying
