fake relationship but its a king and his concubine that was once an amazing soldier but he couldn’t go up the ranks for whatever reason so the king was like listen. hear me out. you can be my strategy dude. u just gotta be okay w walking around shirtless a lot. and soldier dude is like man that’s an UPSIDE and yknow they end up falling in love

This is amazing! Reblogging so I don't forget it.

A Persona 4 Arena Ultimax appearance in episode 2 of the anime “Gamers!”

Cool examples of various African Architecture styles. A great series of sharp shots. This sort of thing. Really helps in fleshing out creating world settings. I never had a good reference guide for this sort of architecture, definitely a few styles that would be amazing in what call the Spring Continent & the Summerlands Continent.

i feel like we don’t talk about things like this enough

This amazing advice, helpful, too. Reblogging, so I remember it.

Good stuff.

This so amazing & impressive. I just had reblog it so I can remember it.

We really need a Carnival Phantasm-esque spinoff with the entire Persona cast, Atlus what are you doing?

So pretty! I’m reblogging to remember this. Amazing stain glass!

You know how fantasy worlds are almost always based on (mostly Central and Northern) European Medieval aesthetic and folklore?

For a while I’ve been thinking that if we had a fantasy world made here, it would be interesting to have it be inspired by Modernisme (the Catalan artistic movement from the late 19th century - early 20th century). I mean, look at this and tell me it doesn’t have potential:

Interior of the Sagrada Família basilica, Barcelona. The stained glass in different sides of the temple are different colours, so the light changes colour depending on the hour of the day. (Photo sources x x)

Illa de la Discòrdia, Barcelona. x

Benches in Parc Güell (Barcelona), made with the “trencadís”, the typical mosaic used in many of Antoni Gaudí’s works (he’s one of the most famous Modernist architects, and one of the most famous Catalan architects of all times too). x

A hall in Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona. x

Ceiling of Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall in Barcelona.

Lots of these things. This one is in Argentona (Catalonia, too). x

And fashion would be like this:

Stained glass in Cerdanyola, Catalonia. x

Illustrations by Gaspar Camps.

More stained glass, now in Museu del Modernisme, Barcelona. x

Modernist jewels by Lluís Masriera (I’ve talked about Modernist jewels in this previous post). x

Even the furniture:

Interior of Casa Amatller in Barcelona. x.

Even in wood looked pretty.

And lots of cool windows inspired by nature!

And from outside

Olot, Catalonia. x.

And of course all kinds of windows. Light is important!

Torre Bellesguard. x.

Barcelona. x.

This ceiling in Palau Güell with holes to let light in. x.

And this lamp?? Also in Palau Güell. x.

Everything would have to be very curvy.

Casa Milà, Barcelona. x.

And shops

This bakery in Palma, Mallorca. x.

And I won’t begin with the tiles to not make the post longer…

What do you think?

And for people from other countries, what element in your culture do you think a fantasy world could be based on, aesthetically?

Oh wow! 😮 that’s awesome story. I never heard of it before but it’s super cool. So definitely reblogging so I can help share it.

A Connecticut Yankee...a kid...that's all well and good but we really don't talk enough about the werewolf in King Arthur's court

This is not a shitpost — in Le Morte D'Arthur, Sir Thomas Malory makes mention of “Sir Marrok, the good knight that was betrayed with his wyf, for she made hym seven yere a wer-wolf”. Of course, Malory lifted the tale of the werewolf knight straight outta “Bisclavret,” which is one of the Twelve Lais of Marie de France. And it is…wild. There’s also “Melion,” an anonymous Breton lai which along with “Biclarel” is believed to have evolved from the same source as “Bisclavret”. In this post we’re gonna refer to the protagonist as the “knight” or the “wolf-knight” and tell a somewhat composite tale.

(A note: this takes place well before commonly established werewolf lore, which crystallized thanks to Universal’s The Wolf Man. Curt Siodmak wrote all that stuff about the full moon and silver bullets in 1941 so well that our common imagination accepted it as ancient fact.)

So anyway our guy is a knight who disappears for a couple nights a week and his wife is like ?????? dude ??????? where ??? do you ???? go ??????

And my dude is like “babe I love you but I can’t tell you because you won’t look at me the same” and she’s like “I am your wIFE you better tell me right quick or otherwise have a good nose for almonds in your oatmeal” (jk she doesn’t say that because if she did he might’ve gotten a little foreshadowing of her treachery, but alas, our man was a sucker)

So the knight tells her he’s a werewolf, and on the nights he disappears he’s wolfing around the countryside and his wife is like !!!!!!!!!! on the inside but makes sure her face is only 🤔 on the outside

(Mind you, Marie de France goes into how the wife is grossed out because she shared her marriage bed with a beast, which has some interesting implications but we’ll get to those later)

She starts digging about his transformation until he explains how in order to return to his human shape, he *needs* to put his human clothes back on or else he’ll be stuck as a wolf, at which point wifey is 👀👀👀👀

Wifey’s like, “but if ur in wolf form, how do u remember where u put ur clothes lol” and the knight’s like, “no no, I retain my human mind even in wolf form and besides, I always put them under this one rock outside this cave”

now bear in mind he’s never been able to talk about this to anyone so he’s pouring his heart out about his deepest secret which he kept even from his wife & I know we’re all pretty used to medieval repression but imagine how it must have felt to share this secret at long last 😥

So to recap:

knight: 🤵🏻🛡🐾🌕🐺🤫😅😍♥️💐 wifey: 👰🏼💭🤢🤔👀🧐💡💡👔💍🔪🔪🔪

Our knight is like “yeah so I was born this way and it’s just a part of who I am and whew it’s kind of a relief to finally be talking about it with someone”

Wifey nods along 🤔🤔🤔 because she’s had a💡moment and is 🍳 up a plan…

This is number 1 on my list for next Christmas. 

All I want for Christmas is a Solas-centric DLC announcement.
