Ozymandias
by Percy Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said — “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert… . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Just finished binge-listening to Rusty Quill's "Neon Inkwell: Of That Colossal Wreck" today! Absolutely loved the audio design of the Whistlers and wanted to make a creature design to go along with it!

Pokemon x UTDR Fakemon Designs (Pt 1)
Welcome to this toxic and fake region called Undertale/Deltarune´s Community! In this vast world you can find many species based on your favorite AUs and creators. Come in and enjoy your stay here in this polemic land.
Choose your starter! You can start your adventure by choosing one of this 3 little critters:
Tumblr media
Charseed, the weed pokemon (Based on Charkis from Chapter Rewritten)
Embora, the legacy pokemon (Based on Ceroba from Undertale Yellow)
Tadskull, the hero pokemon (Based on Crossbones from TS!Underswap)
Each one of this lovely starters will have their own evolution lines but you´ll have to be patient to find out in what they´ll turn into in the future.
Tumblr media
In this interesting land lives an interesting species know as Crookcrow, the crow Pokémon, this small and yet not very good looking bird lives from stealing other Pokémon's foods, gaining the nickname of "The big bad rook". When it evolves it turns into Ozyrook, the villain Pokémon, this prideful bird commands small crowds of Crookcrows to bring food for him.  This big rook when it´s used for combat it can have one of this two unique abilities:
Ozymandias: When its HP drops down half percent, Ozyrook will rise its attack two stages but its defense and special defense will drop two stages down.
Castling: When its HP drops down half percent, Ozyrook will switch out itself for the pokemon next to it in the party. After this, the pokemon that was switched in will receive a power boost by one on its speed stat.
If you use this Pokémon you are in for a strategic game to not loose him in battle and use the most out of him.
Tumblr media
Finally we would like to introduce a new form of Rotom, Rotom Cathode! This forms occurs when a Rotom inhabits a CRT TV for too long.  This form has a new and unique move tied to it: "Laugh Track" it has the chance to confuse the enemy and boost it´s speed state if the move hits the rival. Hope you enjoyed this little art concept I had. If it gets enough support it will make a part 2 in no time!

Stone Turtle of Karakorum, Mongolia, c. 1235-1260 CE: this statue is one of the only surviving features of Karakorum, which was once the capital city of the Mongol Empire
Tumblr media
The statue is decorated with a ceremonial scarf known as a khadag (or khata), which is part of a Buddhist custom that is also found in Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan. The scarves are often left atop shrines and sacred artifacts as a way to express respect and/or reverence. In Mongolia, this tradition also contains elements of Tengrism/shamanism.
The city of Karakorum was originally established by Genghis Khan in 1220 CE, when it was used as a base for the Mongol invasion of China. It then became the capital of the Mongol Empire in 1235 CE, and quickly developed into a thriving center for trade/cultural exchange between the Eastern and Western worlds.
The city attracted merchants of many different nationalities and faiths, and Medieval sources note that the city displayed an unusual degree of diversity and religious tolerance. It contained 12 different temples devoted to pagan and/or shamanistic traditions, two mosques, one church, and at least one Buddhist temple.
As this article explains:
The city might have been compact, but it was cosmopolitan, with residents including Mongols, Steppe tribes, Han Chinese, Persians, Armenians, and captives from Europe who included a master goldsmith from Paris named William Buchier, a woman from Metz, one Paquette, and an Englishman known only as Basil. There were, too, scribes and translators from diverse Asian nations to work in the bureaucracy, and official representatives from various foreign courts such as the Sultanates of Rum and India.
This diversity was reflected in the various religions practised there and, in time, the construction of many fine stone buildings by followers of Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity.
The prosperous days of Karakorum were very short-lived, however. The Mongol capital was moved to Xanadu in 1263, and then to Khanbaliq (modern-day Beijing) in 1267, under the leadership of Kublai Khan; Karakorum lost most of its power, authority, and leadership in the process. Without the resources and support that it had previously received from the leaders of the Mongol Empire, the city was left in a very vulnerable position. The residents of Karakorum began leaving the site in large numbers, until the city had eventually become almost entirely abandoned.
There were a few scattered attempts to revive the city in the years that followed, but any hope of restoring Karakorum to its former glory was then finally shattered in 1380, when the entire city was razed to the ground by Ming Dynasty troops.
The Erdene Zuu Monastery was later built near the site where Karakorum once stood, and pieces of the ruins were taken to be used as building materials during the construction of the monastery. The Erdene Zuu Monastery is also believed to be the oldest surviving Buddhist monastery in Mongolia.
There is very little left of the ruined city today, and this statue is one of the few remaining features that can still be seen at the site. It originally formed the base of an inscribed stele, but the pillar section was somehow lost/destroyed, leaving nothing but the base (which may be a depiction of the mythological dragon-turtle, Bixi, from Chinese mythology).
This statue and the site in general always kinda remind me of the Ozymandias poem (the version by Horace Smith, not the one by Percy Bysshe Shelley):
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
stands a gigantic leg
which far off throws the only shadow
that the desert knows.
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"the King of Kings; this mighty city shows
the wonders of my hand."
The city's gone —
naught but the leg remaining
to disclose the site
of this forgotten Babylon.
We wonder —
and some Hunter may express wonder like ours,
when thro' the wilderness where London stood,
holding the wolf in chace,
he meets some fragment huge
and stops to guess
what powerful but unrecorded race
once dwelt in that annihilated place
