Aspa de Borgoña flameando al viento

Hijos de Santiago grandes son los tercios

Escuadrón de picas, flancos a cubierto

Solo es libre el hombre que no tiene miedo

Translation:

Cross of Burgundy fluttering in the wind

Children of Saint James great are the Tercios

Pike escuadrón, flanks covered

Free is only the man who is not afraid

The tercio was a military administrative unit that contained around 3,000 troops. In the battlefield the tercio would form pike and shot formations called the escuadrón. Through the use of the tercio, Spain would dominate land warfare in the European continent from the 1500s to the 1600s.

Depicted in this piece is the Spanish tercio during the battle of Rocroi (1643). This battle is often reffered to as the begining of the downfall of the tercio. However, it should be noted that the Spanish tercios in this battle were never defeated.

At Rocroi, the Spanish cavalry was routed and the Spanish artillery was captured by the opposing French army. But the tercios stood strong. Withstanding artillery bombardment and numerous infantry and cavalry attacks, the tercios managed to hold.

Having the Spanish surrounded and outnumbered, the French asked them to surrender. In response, the Spanish said: "His Excellency seems to forget he is facing a Spanish tercio."

After more numerous failed attacks that were unable to break the tercios, the French eventually allowed an honorable surrender for the Spanish, where they could march out of the field, complete with their colors and weapons.

I'm not yet sure, what I'm planning to do, but I just wanted to draw plague sisters, and...this happened :D

I think I will use this as a prologue to a longer story about trolls in the 30 years war. I haven't yet written any texts to this yet, but I realized that this actually works pretty fine as an example of visual storytelling, and you can follow the story without any text.

[awkwardpariah]

1419 - The Hungarian–Kaykaus War ends in a Rus-Hungarian victory. Hungary functionally becomes an independent Kingdom within the Tzarkhanate. 1422- King Henry V successfully recaptures France for the Plantagenet dynasty, driving the overextended Mongols out and re-establishing the duel monarchy over England and France. 1470 - Bohemia successfully re-establishes itself as an independent Kingdom during the Tartar Raids which kept most Mongol and Rus troops in the East. 1477 - After years of failing to curtail the power of Moscow and the Rus's dominance over the Tzarkhanate, Mongol rule finally comes to an end at the Great Stand on the Volga, in which the forces of Akhmat Khan departed without conflict. Ivan maintained the title of Tzar that was originally held by their former Mongol overlords. 1519 - German Catholics, disgusted by rampant corruption within the Roman church, begin the Revivalist movement, leaving the Catholic church en masse for the Orthodox church.

1524 - End of the Kaykaus-Tartar raids. Hungary formally establishes itself as a fully independent Kingdom and sets the stage for a longstanding alliance with the Ruthenians against the Turks. 1568 - Start of the 80 Years War after the Dutch revolt against Orthodox influences in the Muscovite Netherlands. The Italian King Albert V (Alberto I in Spain) with support of the Pope is the first Wittelsbach King to gain control over the Netherlands. 1583 - Ivan IV, Tzar of Ruthenia, King of Germany, King of Bohemia, and Grand Prince of Lithuania, caps off a life of bloodshed with the First Northern War, securing Livonia and Northern Ingria from the Swedish ruled Kalmar Union. 1602 - Founding of the United East India Company by the Muscovite Dutch. 1608- Tzar Vasili IV (supposedly) authors the Letter of Majesty, reaffirming religious tolerance in the empire in the hopes of quelling violence between Catholics and the new generation of western Orthodox Christians. 1616 - A revolt breaks out in Savoy over fears of Orthodox domination, the 20 Years War begins.

Why German History Is Different? „I’m in Germany, thinking about how Germany changed the course of history. No – it’s not what you’re thinking of. Germany gave us some of the most influential philosophers – Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, Schopenhauer, Heidegger. Why?“

-Lewis Waller, Then & Now, excerpt from the video

Video:

Transcript of the Video:

Comment: A pretty good analysis - because it doesn't just reduce German history to a few decades of the last century, but looks beyond that. And it also addresses in short two important German traumas - which significantly shaped its subsequent history: the 30 Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars, which largely took place on the territory of the "German Empire". The armies of that time lived off the land - with a corresponding effect on the civilian population.

I have to contradict the report on one thing: The “German Empire” as the successor to the “Roman Empire” - and with that a „German consciousness“, has existed since the early Middle Ages - also with corresponding importance in Europe. However, the "German Emperor" was never an "absolute ruler" - his rule was based on "consensus" with the "grandees of the empire“. Therefore the „German Empire“ was a classic oligarchy. Some of today's “democracies” aren’t much better sometimes, even though the label promises otherwise.

The bourgeoisie of some big and important cities of the „German Empire“ even administered themselves quite “democratically” - and their representatives were also among the grandees who determined the fate of the empire. The Italian „urban republics“ (Florence, Siena, Milan etc.) and the „imperial cities“ (which were administered in similar way) of the „German Empire“ were the forerunners of modern democratic republics found today. They were based on the conviction that a just and good political order requires the virtue of those in power, the consensus of the citizens and respect for the common good in order to remain peaceful and stable in the long term.

However, from the late Middle Ages onwards, the above described ruling principle increasingly led to the fragmentation and weakening of the „German Empire“ - due to a lack of central power and authority. Central power is not always negative, but may also preserve a nation‘s unity. It was not until 1871 that Germany's national unity was restored - something the German soul had longed for for decades since the Napoleonic dream (liberte, egalite, fraternite) and trauma (war). Unfortunately, some became so intoxicated by that event that it led to hypernationalism with all its negative effects.

„Happy New Year😌!“

A work in progress. It’s a short comic telling a story taking place in the Troll patrol universe. The whole Trolls fighting alongside humans started during the 30 years war, when the kingdom of Sweden (which Finland was part of) joined the great war raging in the heart of Germany.  A small, extremely poor and parasitic kingdom needed every resource they could lay their hands on, and in the dark woods of the Northern Finland and Sweden lived the trolls. After the disastrous defeat at the battle of Nördlingen the Swedish army was on the brink of collapse. The imperial armies were pushing back, there was no money and the semi-mythical king, Gustav II had been killed in the battle of Lüzen, a bit earlier. In this desperate situation, the Swedish crown had to abandon their religious fervor and it made a secret deal with these hairy monsters from the pagan past. They would give the Trolls power over their lands, an autonomy as well as freedom from encroaching human society. In exchange they would send their warriors to fight alongside humans to help them to claim victory.

After that, the small units of trolls were attached to regiments coming from Finland and Sweden, where they proved to be extremely effective and cool-headed combat units.

I can't stop thinking about just how emblematic everything in those conversations of Ashton being "a child" are of how, even at her most beaten down, triggered and traumatized, Laudna is not and will not be what Delilah wants her to be.

For Delilah, "they're still a child" is dismissive, a bit derisive, but doesn't even merit being truly hateful. She doesn't find Ashton worth the attention Laudna is giving them, not when there are such more interesting, important things to pull the attention of an adult. Children are only important when they are useful. She will indulge Laudna on the subject, because Laudna is useful, is her vehicle for action in the world, but she only cares about it in the context of getting Laudna to do what she wants. Calling someone a child is calling them unimportant. (Laudna is a child to her)

But for Laudna, who loves children and who understands intimately what it's like to have the helplessness of child, to be trapped under the authority of someone who will never treat you as a full person, even when they are being ostensibly kind, to be so confused and lost and powerless...a child deserves attention more than anyone else. Of course children lash out. Being a child IS in many ways quite awful because the world is so big around you and you don't know yet how to react to any of it, how to soothe yourself - and if you aren't given the attention, you never learn how. Ashton never learned how. Her instincts - instincts trained into her by manipulation and abuse from inside and the world around her - may say kill him, but she fights them the whole way because her heart is stronger and her heart says that the angriest, most volatile child needs care as much as any other. More, even.

Laudna hears Delilah call Ashton a child and agrees on the word, but they have diametrically opposed understandings of what that means, and diametrically opposed instincts on how to treat a child. Laudna doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially children. She loves children. She loves so much and so selflessly. And Delilah is so very very good at manipulating her but she has tried for 30 years to change the bedrock of Laudna's psyche, the truer thing that drives her beyond the base animal instincts of survival, and it hasn't worked.

#critical role spoilers #critical role #cr meta #laudna #delilah briarwood #g o d I love her so much #she is so GOOD #and like I was so very worried for her at the break but #I keep forgetting and underestimating her #her strength may not look the same as other peoples' #it may be hidden under her traumatized confusion and twitchy fear but #it is there #she is so very strong #her victories aren't huge and showy but they don't need to be #can't be maybe in a war of attrition inside her own head #but after 30 years she is STILL THERE. STILL HERSELF. STILL KIND. #FUCK #I gotta go lie down on the floor about it #no wonder Imogen loves her so much honestly #she knows how hard it is to keep yourself good and kind in the face of a constant onslaught #I know its jokes but like. yeah. she would be a saint to Imogen. #st laudna real not clickbait

DC exposing Nando's war crimes from 20 years ago:

"I don't want to bring something up from the past, but Fernando did braketest me many years ago, but I was in the McLaren. He braked 30 meters earlier. We went to the stewards, and he went, "Oh, it's my right to brake where I want to brake. That's where I needed to brake!" I was just flabbergasted. And the stewards went "oh, well, no further action."

"This was 2003..."

#forever a war criminal 🤧 #fucking hilarious to imagine a 30+ year old DC beefing w a ~22 yr old Nando #do you know what nando looked like in 2003??? i bet he had his silly little soulpatch 😭 #but its also funny to think that hes been pushing the limits of what crimes you csn commit on track since he was a baby #also not included but i love dc saying he didnt hit him bcs of his cat like reflexes #he says a lot of stupid things but i love his little anecdotes honestly #anways nando braketesting lewis and then this was the only thing i cared abt during this race #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #david coulthard #2023 abu dhabi gp

FLUXES [Celestis: Engineered Participants / Technologies] Example: "DOCTOR, The"

[Image description, courtesy of @quailfence: a series of pictures of text, alternated with screencaps and gifs from Doctor Who.

1: Text: Fluxes: [Celestis: Engineered Participants/Technology] Individuals transposed backwards in time but not too far in space, using a very high chaotic limiter setting and tied to their home period by a thread of biodata

2: The Eleventh Doctor stands in the future corpse of his TARDIS, looking and a pulsing stream of light that has replaced the console. He says, "That is the scar tissue of my journey through the universe. My path through time and space."

3: Text: He raised a finger. 'Look. There.

Now she could just make out the thread in the moonlight. It was just a faint reflection, maybe a foot or two long, about a metre off the ground. A taut strand of spiderweb hanging in the air, not attached to anything.

'What is it?' Fitz asked.

'It's only partially rotated into three dimensions,' he said. He pushed his finger right through the glimmering line, without affecting it. 'That's why it looks one- or two-dimensional. The rest is still perpendicular to what we can see - woven into higher space, or the time vortex…'

'Yes,' said Fitz, 'but what is it?' 'It's what your friend mistook for a ley line.' The Doctor was scuttling around the silver thread, peering at it from every angle, getting more and more agitated. 'It's part of the fabric of space-time itself. What DNA is to your genetic code, this stuff is to biodata. And it's all just exposed here now. Personality, history, memory, perception, all vulnerable…'

'I'm going to have to ask you again, aren't I?' said Fitz.

The Doctor said, 'It's me.'

4: The Fourteenth and Fifteenth doctors in the TARDIS. 14: "But you're fine?" 15: "I'm fine, because you fixed yourself. We're Time Lords, we're doing rehab out of order."

5: Text: The subject is turned loose in his or her own history, and the limiter setting allows tiny actions taken by the future version to have considerable effects on the past version. The biodata link then transfers these changes to the future version, which alters it, and thus alters the changes made to the past version. Therefore, the individual's history is kept constantly in flux.

6: The Fugitive Doctor says, "Let me take it from the top: Hello, I'm the Doctor."

7: Text: Let me finish. Think back to that time when you went to see your previous selves.

8: Ten, Eleven, and War talk to each other. Ten: "You're not actually suggesting that we change our own personal history?" Eleven: "We change history all the time. I'm suggesting far worse."

9: Text: 'Maybe there's no one home on Gallifrey,' said the boy softly. There was just the one of him.

The Doctor looked at him, cupping the small white cube in his hands. The boy said, Maybe they all left. Or maybe the whole planet's being destroyed, and undestroyed, and destroyed, and you just caught them at the wrong moment.

10: The TARDIS by the ruins of Gallifrey

11: Text: 'It's impossible,' said the Doctor. 'It's impossible for my people. Our past is unreachable. What's written can't be unwritten.'

'Who said your history can't change?'

Another boy answered, 'Someone from his history.'

And another: 'Maybe it's the second-biggest lie in Time Lord history.'

12: Dhawan!Master tells Thirteen, "You are the Timeless Child."

13: Thitreen stares at a ruined house. Swarm whispers in her ear and tells her, "All the memories you've lost, all the people you've been. It's all in there, contained within that house."

14: Text: And it was like the Doctor's home. As if his ship understood the loss of the House and had compensated to fill the emptiness. Shadowy corridors, alcoves and stairways, a secret at every turn. Like being in the Doctor's head. Like his life, for that matter, the details of which were strewn like flotsam across the floor.

15: Text: 'Sweet,' said the little boy. 'That's my favourite of your origin stories, too.'

The Doctor opened his eyes. He had been laughing, he realised, he felt that lightness in himself. The boys had all moved away, behind him, leaving him facing the empty dark of the warehouse.

'What do you mean?' he asked. His voice sounded very small.

'Is this the version where they banned all mention of his name, and yours, for consorting with aliens? Or the one where he got every record of himself deleted from the files?'

'Feel free to believe either of them,' snapped the Doctor, 'or both of them, or neither of them. If you're curious about my past, I want there to be as many wrong answers as possible.'

16: The Eighth Doctor tells someone, "I'm half human. On my mother's side."

17: Text: 'Well he's a hybrid, you know that. A Gallifreyan not born of Gallifreyan, the one who unites the two races and brings good old human niceness into their alien society. Aliens need that, y'know.'

'A human hybrid? She saw the contempt in his curling lip. 'Pseudoscientific nonsense. There's no evidence,' he repeated.

'He's allowed to be different. He's got a prophecy and everything.'

18: Lady Me says, "By your own reasoning, why couldn't the Hybrid be half Time Lord, half human?"

19: Text: Someone giggled. 'Let's play pin the tale on the donkey.'

'Maybe you didn't use to have a father.'

'Maybe you're living in the middle of a time war. Maybe there's an Enemy out there -'

The Doctor shouted, 'I'm not listening!'

'- who's rewriting you when you're not looking!'

'Maybe you weren't always half human.'

'But now you've become always half human.' 'Maybe you weren't always a Time Lord.'

But now you've always been a Time Lord.'

'Maybe you originally came from some planet in the forty-ninth century. Fleeing from the Enemy who'd overrun your home -'

'I said I'm not listening! Laa laa laa laa laa -'

'- and you've just been written and rewritten and overwritten, ever since.'

'Pin the tale!'

'How d'you know it's not true?'

'How could you know it's not true?'

The voices crowded in. 'How would you know, huh?'

'How would you know?'

'How would 'How would you 'How 'How would you know? you know? you know? know?'

'Why would I care?' shouted the Doctor.

The boy fell silent.

20: Lady Me asks, "Am I right? Is it true?" Twelve replies, "Does it matter?"

21: Text: However, the one group from the Homeworld which has excelled at flux-engineering is the Celestis.

22: Two asks the Time Lords, "Now then… what about me?"

23: Tecteun tells Thirteen, "Which is ehy we engineered the Fluyx: Shut the universe down and you within it."

24: Text: Even Mictlan itself can be considered a kind of enormous flux, an endlessly-shifting realm so cortosive to the rest of history that its heartland has to be kept on the outer skin of the universe

24: The Fourteenth Doctor tells Donna, "I invoked a supersition, at the edge of the universe, where the walls are thin and everything is possible."

25: The space station from Wild Blue Yonder

26: Text: There are suggestions of a stable middle-ground between the two fates, in which the physical matter of the flux is lost but the meaning of the subject/ victim is retained, a series of memetic connections with no flesh to support it. Yet this entity exists only on a purely theoretical level, relying on the perceptions of others to survive at all.

27: The Twelfth Doctor walks up to the TARDIS console. He says, "Can't wait to hear what I say." Glancing at the viewer, he adds, "I'm noting without an audience."

28: Text: You know what Sam represents. If a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? Stop me if I'm getting too abstract here, but if a Time Lord saves the world and nobody witnesses him doing it, does history care? She's your witness. The thing you need to make you whole.

29: The First Doctor looks at the viewer and says, "Incidentally, a Happy Christmas to all of you at home!" End description.]
