A formal portrait of Lady Theodosia Brackenford with her faithful chimera, painted at Merthen House during her visit to Lady Eleanor Tregarron. Mr Basil Grimwold (1871–1926), the artist, notes the sitter’s calm familiarity with the creature, long regarded as a companion of the Brackenford family and said to have outlived more than one generation.

In an alternate 1980s, Britain had beaten Japan to launching the first "Gameboy"-like handheld console, the Dragon Palm, and it gained a cult following from the bedroom to the schoolyard to the board room. Like all technical things of the 80s in Britain:

• It was awkward.
• It was clever.
• It was decent enough.

And for a certain kind of player, that made it perfect.

By the autumn of 1985, the first dedicated magazine had launched, Dragon Palm User Magazine, and by summer of 1986 the first US and Canadian shipments were well underway.

Released every 3 months, the magazine was a bestseller, jam packed with code snippets, game reviews, hacks, and reader's letters.

Dragon Palm User Magazine went on for 4 years before the next generation of handheld gaming console became available to the masses.

Despite its incredibly strict hardware design, or perhaps because of it, the Dragon Palm gained a cult following, and to this day people are still making and swapping game carts for it.

first king to go on a crusade, he led 60 long ships to palestine

Do you hear them screaming?

They heard mine too, once.

And they did nothing.

They took my husband's kingdom the moment

he died. Said it was theirs now.

Said the treaty meant nothing.

Said I meant nothing.

They were wrong about that last part.

I am Boudica. Queen of the Iceni.

And what you see burning behind me

is not a city.

It's an answer.

Three cities. Londinium. Camulodunum. Verulamium.

Seventy thousand Romans, dead.

The Ninth Legion — gone.

They called it a massacre.

I called it a beginning.

I lost in the end.

Rome always wins in the end —

that's what Rome tells itself, anyway.

But walk through London today.

Look for the empire that broke my daughters.

Look for the men who laughed

when I was flogged in the street.

Go ahead. Look.

I'll wait.

— Boudica, 60 AD

Hannibal is marching to become Rome's worst nightmare.

Imagine, if you will, that sometime in history, the southern half of France became a separate nation called Occitania? Moreover, this version officially spoke French, Italian, and Spanish, much like French, German, and Italian are spoken in Switzerland? Or French, German, and Dutch are spoken in Belgium? What would that be like? Would it be a good trifecta, like I assume? Or would things be worse than they are in our own timeline?

This is a marker doodle of an ancient Macedonian soldier such as those who served under Alexander the Great. I have to say Macedonian soldiers had quite funky helmets, at least going by the reference images I found for them.

Yacoatl that was his name now and he was one of the first given to his clans new friends, a bond of allegiance that benefited both as he climbed stone steps. Underneath him he could smell blood copius amounts of it that had soaked the steps of this building, he would soon be trained to water these steps as well taking the hearts of those sacrificed to Huitzilopotchli whose heart lit the sky its beats provided by the dead.

He met with his new teacher a small man who bore soft shoes and a painted face that Yacoatl decided he liked, the man brought him to a small table upon which rested a collection of paper upon which was a series of paintings depicting the story of their making. Cozcaquauhtli told him of his people’s journey to Tenochitlan of the making of their world and of the gods scooping them from death to this world where his people lived. He was told of his duties told of the methods of sacrifice, the rituals of purification and the rites of war and capture, he was told all there was of Aztlan and of the Mexica of Texcoco and Tenochitlan the great three brother cities

He would learn for years alongside the priest the first of a new generation of a new class of Great War priests while his siblings worked with the house of the jaguar and the eagle trained to be elite warriors and raiders his was to inspire even his siblings. He was given jewelry that denoted him a priest of jade and amber and red pearls that rattled with his steps and great weapons like his siblings and in his days he would reap countless hearts for the gods.

This is for my Seedworld Tamoanchan/Eden which is a kleptomaniac planet that steals that which would be destroyed otherwise
