Fun fact: the moon and star symbol was actually applied to Constantinople as far back as antiquity when it was named Byzantium. My understanding (I could be wrong) was that it was associated with the popular cult of Diana.

It stayed with the city even after it became Constantinople, center of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith, and later was applied to the Ottoman empire and Islamic world, hence the presence of the Moon and Star in so much Islamic iconography and flags today.

Again, that's the history as I learned it, and it was a brief one from the otherwise in-depth Constantinople episode of "Fall of Civilizations" (good History podcast on YT, btw). If anyone a dispute regarding this feel free to mention it.

^u^; I didn't know that. I just wanted to make a cool symbol for one of my story ideas.

I think I remember someone noting it would be hilarious if Ea-Nasir was actually a pretty good businessman, but this letter reflected one screw-up or one time when he let the quality slide, and now that's all he's known for.

I wonder whether her friends will approve of her dressing up as someone who keeps a unicorn-eating lazer-shooting dinosaur rather than someone who fights beside them to...slay dragons...yea I don't think she could win in that conversation no matter what.

And mama mia, typing that made me feel like a kid again.

Wait the laser shooting dinosaur eats unicorns? Must've missed that part.

Very Good!

...Though I still wonder when Victorius will be asking Angus to return their powersaurus.

"It was Scout that touched my gun."

"Yea."

"I'm going to punch out his blood."

"Can I sell tickets?"

"Da."

I could see her being somewhat enthusiastic...right up until she meets Baxtor Stockman and finds out what happens if you fail this guy.

Now that the series is over, imagine if J ended up joining with the Decepticons after leaving Copper 1. Perhaps complimenting her subservient traits with a bit more ambition and treachery due to spending some time with Starscream.

I like all the details to your pixel art.

Cute. I could buy this as an Adventure Time or Bravest Warriors character.

I wonder what would happen if Azura, Dagoth Ur, and other Morrowind Characters found out about Tolkien's Elves, particularly, Feanor, Fingolfin, and their sons.

Dagoth Ur: Oh, what impressive feats do you have to your name?

Feanor: I won the first battle between elves and orcs, crafted some of the greatest artifacts in history, and took on three balrogs when I died leading the charge on a false god's fortress.

Dagoth Ur: What's a Balrog?

Feanor: Pretty much a fire demon.

Dagoth Ur: Ok, now we're talking. What about you Fingolfin?

Fingolfin: After my idiot brother burned the fleet we needed to cross the ocean, got us cursed by the gods, and got himself killed, I led a crossing across a region of mist and treacherous frost over the ocean known as the Grinding Ice, set up kingdoms that opposed the false god he mentioned for centuries with mine at the forefront as I led my people as High King. When in a sudden attack, all seemed lost, I went forth and battled said false god, mightiest of all the created beings in the world, and left him a cripple...even if I died too.

Dagoth Ur: Oh wow! And what about your sons?

Feanor and Fingolfin:...oh boy.

A refugee from the decline of Kongregate.
Big fan of strategy games.
Like writing, especially ghost stories.
Experimenting with simple pixel art/animation and 8bit music. Nothing major yet.
