Into writing, daydreaming, and using twenty words where five might do. Working from a UTC +00:00 time zone. My Ao3: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Kako_Pumpkin Here lies some shiny things, some fandom things, and some writing things. Trying to keep this a place where happy things go to relax, mostly succeeding on that point. Open for prompts, within reason.

Tried to draw Tooth Fairy as she could be before she became a guardian. Her story is sooo sad ;____; (you can read it on rotg wiki)

On the picture she holds a box she was given by her parents (I know that in Toothiana’s story the box is different, I managed to draw it closer to the film version of boxes, that contains children’s teeth )

In 1808, Napoleon, running out of scenic holiday destinations to invade, somehow totally forgot about his neighbor to the south, Spain. So that year he dispatched his troops, kicking off the Peninsular War.
Only 20 years old and working as a barmaid in the town of Valdepenas, Juana Galan was not expecting a surge of French soldiers to come storming through her village. But on June 6, that’s exactly what happened. At that time, most of the men were fighting Napoleon’s forces elsewhere in the nation. Juana, unfazed by things like rifles and Frenchmen and French riflemen, began organizing the women in her village to form a trap for the approaching army.
When the army arrived, Juana and her friends were ready. They dumped boiling water and oil on the French troops, which by all accounts will instantly take the fight out of pretty much anyone. Then Juana, armed with only a batan, beat back the heavily armed French cavalry with her squad of village women, almost none of whom were armed with guns.
The French retreated, giving up on capturing not just Juana’s town but the entire province of La Mancha, leading to ultimate Spanish victory. Today, she is seen in Spain as a national hero, a symbol of resistance, strength, patriotism, feminism and hitting shit with a stick.

That’s one hell of a portrait.

This is maybe the best portrait of anyone that I’ve ever seen, ever.

Here’s an awesome little piece of history:

Archaeologists in the Burnt City have discovered what appears to be an ancient prosthetic eye. What makes this discovery exceptionally awesome is the striking description of how the owner and her false eye would have appeared while she was still alive and blinking:

[The eye] has a hemispherical form and a diameter of just over 2.5 cm (1 inch). It consists of very light material, probably bitumen paste. The surface of the artificial eye is covered with a thin layer of gold, engraved with a central circle (representing the iris) and gold lines patterned like sun rays. The female remains found with the artificial eye was 1.82 m tall (6 feet), much taller than ordinary women of her time. On both sides of the eye are drilled tiny holes, through which a golden thread could hold the eyeball in place. Since microscopic research has shown that the eye socket showed clear imprints of the golden thread, the eyeball must have been worn during her lifetime. The woman’s skeleton has been dated to between 2900 and 2800 BCE. 

So she was an extraordinarily tall woman walking around wearing an engraved golden eye patterned with rays like a tiny sun. What an awesome sight that must have been.

Two times that Rhodey hands Tony something and nobody tries to analyze the meanings of or even remember, for that matter.

My head canon is that Tony tried to pull the pet peeve thing like early on in their relationfriendship and Rhodey just looks at him and says like, "I'm not handing it to you, I'm holding it and you're going to take it from me." And ever since then there's just this no-nonsense look in Rhodey's eye when he's holding something out for Tony and Tony just takes whatever is being handed to him without saying anything.
