Four medievalist photographs by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)

Rose Lawrie in ‘Waiting for the Trumpet’, 7 July 1875. Wearing chain-mail specially made by Henry Holiday, illustrator of The Hunting of the Snark.
Evelyn Dubourg as ‘Joan of Arc’, 12 July 1875 (two versions)
Marion Terry as ‘Fitz-James’, 12 July 1875. Interestingly ‘Fitz-James’ is a male character from Sir Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake; the photograph is inscribed with a quote from the poem.

UM. THIS IS GREAT. Reblogging for posterity + future reference.

Some basic truths remain eternal – one of those is that women in great armor look awesome.

Garbage Games Rhetoric Bingo

As in, rhetoric about games that is garbage, not rhetoric about garbage games. (But possibly also that.)

Obviously inspired (and based off of with permission from the lovely Ozzie) by @bikiniarmorbattledamage​, here is a bingo of terrible arguments against social justice style critiques of video games. I am clearly not an artist; if you want to pretty this up, go ahead, that would be super cool.

You can use this to your heart’s content for dealing with inane arguments.

Below the cut, a breakdown of the squares and why they’re wrong.

Keep reading

Inspired by Bikini Armor Battle Damage’s Female Armor Rhetoric Bingo, we present to you a special extra related bingo card this week, @feministgamingmatters ’s Garbage Games Rhetoric Bingo.

Fun for the whole family to play pretty much any time any major franchise receives even the slightest call out, critique or makes an independent effort to try to appeal to more people.

The horror. THE HORROR

The always amazing @eschergirls recently ran some contests, challenging people to think up explanations for what’s happening in the full sized art.

While no mortal can ever make sense of that concept, they did do a fantastic job of adding much needed comic relief to this horror. *

* Some part of me still desperately hopes the artist intended this as a subversive work of horror.

Knight-mage Chell, portaling her way through an ancient dungeon full of traps

I genre-swapped Portal for an art challenge, and it may or may not have become a whole AU…and there may or may not be a part 2 on the way. Or should I say, a part DOS

Re-designing the portal gun and long fall boots into more fantasy-appropriate forms was a fun challenge

I really, really like this outfit for it’s convincing design, use of a gambeson and signature aesthetics without compromising effectiveness.

In fact the only thing that I don’t like about it is now I really, really want to play a fantasy AU Portal game starring Knight-Mage Chell.

I always enjoy the creativity that goes into redesigning characters from different genres as medieval fantasy knights. Some of them, like the Sailor Scouts and the Crystal Gems, were already featured in our cartoony armor tag 🙂
