I made this for a dear friend's birthday. Now that I've given it to her, I can post it!

It was my first time using gold leaf in a project!

Also, it uses the long-s, so be mindful of that as you read it.

Salisbury Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Salisbury and is the seat of the Bishop of Salisbury.

The building is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture. Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.

The spire was built in 1320. It was heightened to 404 feet (123 m) and has been the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom since 1561. Visitors can take the “Tower Tour”, in which the interior of the hollow spire, with its ancient wooden scaffolding, can be viewed. The cathedral has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain at 80 acres (32 ha). It contains a clock which is among the oldest working examples in the world, and has one of the four surviving original copies of Magna Carta. In 2008, the cathedral celebrated the 750th anniversary of its consecration.

Chartres Cathedral, France 1134-55

Chartres follows the iconic basillica style church plan and was created as a pilgrimage church. As mentioned in another post, Mary's tunic, that she was thought to have worn while giving birth to Christ, resides here. The church experienced a fire and had to be rebuilt around 1194.

Notable to Chartres are its portal tympanums on the west façade. The first of the three, depicts zodiacs and the labors of the months. It tells the story of Christ before time began.

The second of the portals shows the annunciation, visitation and nativity, and the throne of wisdom flocked by two angels. This tympanum deals with the birth of Christ and his entering into human time.

And finally, the last portal tympanum personifies the liberal arts and the Christ Pantocrator within his mandorla surrounded by the gospel writers depicted in their iconographical forms. It discusses Christs return to Earth and the final judgement.

The Jamb features on the church are quite unique, as the west façade jambs are early gothic saints. The south portal however is in high gothic style. This resulted in quite a difference in the appearance of the jambs.

These jambs are on the west façade and have distinctly elongated figures with an emphasis on upward motion. The persons depicted are thought to be Queen Sheba, King Solomon, and a priest. The figures are very much a part of the column, in very stiff posture and isolated from one another.

On the other hand, the south portal figures are shown with movement and look like sculptures, not simply parts of a column. Their bodies are more naturalistic and the figures represent various significant old testament biblical figures.

vampire who complains constantly about how difficult it is to access laudanum in the "so-called modern era." from their many, many complaints, it's clear they've gone to considerable difficulty over the past century maintaining a steady personal laudanum supply. their werewolf roomie is on the verge of holding an intervention. it is then casually revealed that laudanum has no intoxicating effect on bloodsuckers. the vampire just use it as a "spicy blood sauce"; it adds a nice kick

#it's later revealed they developed this flavor profile by falling in with a group of 'whiny gothic nitwits' in the early 1800s #who were 'annoying as hell and never shut the fuck up' but their blood was picante as fuck so whatever #(it's later revealed these 'gothic nitwits' consisted of lord byron and his literary contemporaries)
