My illuminated manuscript-style illustration for terpsichorean's fic, A Heavy Burden, as part of the @go-minisode-minibang 2024!

The story takes place in 1518 Strasbourg and Aziraphale receives a book of hours as a gift in it, so I decided to stick with the theme!

Check out the scanned pages of the book of hours I used as my primary reference here: The Morgan Library & Museum

Dumb Cultsim/Book of Hours memes I made for some reason

[daweyt]

Rainer Maria Rilke, from “Book of Hours”, originally published c. 1905.

[chromodorid]

in light of the librarian showing us just how unhinged the cultist is i bet the cultsim patrons don't actually need the cultist for new information or anything they just commission those essays because they want to see what that weird feral idiot's doing with those lore bits

like mme bechet and count jannings are only calling the cultist up because the kerisham review readers/the count's bros see the insane ramblings the cultist puts into every article and they eat that shit up

Book of Hours x Disco Elysium - Which one is your signature skill?

First time posting here. Have mercy on me. :)

Here are some portraits of the elements of the soul from BoH in the style of the skill portraits from Disco Elysium with a little character creation mockup. After posting this on the Discord server, I was encouraged to post it on r/weatherfactory. There I was encouraged to post it on Tumblr.

Here are the links for the hi-res versions of the skills, if you're interested. :)

KING FRANÇOIS I BOOK OF HOURS (1578)

A dazzling masterpiece of the French Renaissance.

This small prayer book is bound in enamelled gold and gemstones. It was purchased in 1538 by King Francis I of France as a gift for his niece. The gems consist of carnelian (two intaglios and eight cameos), rubies (27 polished pieces), turquoise (24 cabochons) and rhodolite (one faceted stone in the book’s clasp that has been described as tourmaline since 1942). Most of the rubies were mined from the Mogok area of Burma (now Myanmar). Based on historical considerations, the turquoise could have originated from Persia or possibly Uzbekistan, and the carnelian from either India or Saxony. The faceted rhodolite from India or Sri Lanka, was most likely added to the clasp between 1842 and 1884. [view large]

Folio 62 verso, Black Book of Hours (Morgan MS M.493)

[laura-the-locust]

The cultist, after reading a book: Aha! I've found this incantation hidden between the lines that will allow me to summon a violent creature of the Thunderskin! Then my rival will surely perish at its hand!

The librarian, after reading the same book: Alright, I know how to play drums now. I'm gonna play a fun tune for my midwife neighbor :) and then she'll help me clean up that one room :)
