I got bored.

Code phrase for-

*whispers-

'I was procrastinating~'

Essays are hard. :( Drawing is fun!

My brain is dead. Ah well. My eyes are too. In fact, they are fully open to my awful situation, I shall go at once to bed and remedy this tragic fate, and then I hope to have recovered my forgotten moral senses though I don't care twopence hay'penny for any consequences. Now I do not want to perish in my sad procrastination so to bed I must away to try and fix this situation, but when quotes are made that no-one knows and-

If anyone knows where that comes from. Then good for you. I have definitely never met anyone in real life who would recognise anything of the sort. (siblings don't count). It's stuck in my head now. Alas alack. Gilbert and Sullivan living in my head rent free~ If you are curious then look up 'It really doesn't matter' from Ruddigore.

Like I said, they MIGHT not make an appearance in lbl, but I wanted to design them anyways. Their individual refs will happen eventually

Now before someone asks and I know they will, oot Zelda is not here, because I cannot for the life of me figure out where she would even be. It pains me to leave her out cuz she has my fav Zelda design, but she has no connection to Time whatsoever. The version that did know Time is in an entirely different timeline, and the one in the correct timeline doesn’t know him. It’s just easier for me to leave her out. So. Yeah.

I spent a large portion of today researching tekhelet for work as part of a piece on ancient dyes and I got so stupid emotional. Like it's just a dye, but it was such an important thing in ancient Judaism as the dye which would make tzitzit blue and the method of making it was lost around the time of the Arab conquest of Israel in the 7th century. (Also I note that lots of sources date the loss of the secret of the original manufacture but many just gloss over it mapping directly onto the colonisation of Judea/Israel by the Rashidun Caliphate - I know that the two events may not be connected but I have spent too long looking at history to be able to say that these were completely unrelated y'know... Lost knowledge is very, very rarely a coincidence)

They literally, to this day, still don't know how it was made.

There are multiple theories, most of which revolve around the murex snail (where we get Tyrian purple from) and the fact that if you expose the pigment it produces - di-bromo indigo - to light at the right point in the production process, it is reduced to regular indigo from which you can get your blue dye. But this has all been worked out using modern methods. The ancient production method of tekhelet is gone and I honestly find myself mourning yet another piece of lost knowledge form our history.

"Can you just imagine Norway and Sweden here, forced to take a picture together during their union in the 1800s??"

Or, something like that, is about what @cat-with-a-tie said just before requesting this exact scenario ✨
