older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:

éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.

therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:

there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping

the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor 

so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off

That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that

male or female

hero or villain

sea or land

even in the snow

I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free

Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much

Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.

That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.

Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.

Swordtember days 14-17.

Day 14: Aquatic “A shattered blade that sank to the darkest depths of the sea long ago, along with its master. Though its physical form has been eaten away by the march of time, it still remembers its shape and yearns to be wielded once more.”

Day 15: Forest “A formerly broken weapon given to a forest spirit to repair. Lacking knowledge of mortal weaponry, the spirit instead transformed it into a new form that ended up swallowing the shards of the old one. Its wielder, even now, bears it with pride.”

Day 16: Broken “A living weapon whose burning will to fight surpasses mere physical form; every injury inflicted on it only makes it stronger and more furious. It controls the broken shards of itself in order to evolve and adapt on the battlefield.

Day 17: Tooth/Bone “A weapon that serves as a vessel for restless, vengeful souls. The more ghosts that concentrate themselves within the hilt, the longer and more deadly it becomes. Its power only grows from absorbing willing spirits.”

Contemporary House India

Edmund Sumner‘s book reveals a photo array and detailed plans of the boldest and most ambitious houses of India’s contemporary residential architecture. 

The new book with more than twenty pieces of modern domestic architecture is divided into four thematic chapters and unveils a glimpse of private dwellings spanning across the country and constructed by well-known and non, architects — including Architecture Brio, Matharoo Associates, Abraham John Architects, Khosla Associates, BV Doshi.
