🍰When you want to reward yourself, what kind of treat comes to mind first? A big chunky cookie, a cake looks as good as it tastes, or a luxurious, exotic dessert? Since we’ve talked about everyday meals and meals eaten during fasts, let’s talk about some tasty treats this time! 🍪In the Middle Ages

The hardest part of the day has arrived. The armed sisters change back into the traditional habit, suddenly all traces of their military vibe disappeared. The afternoon offices/prayers are especially important for reminding these armed sisters they are still sisters of the convent. The newly arrived

"Jesus Christ! Why do I always have to wake up by these noisy jackdaws? How I love watching you poor nuns train so hard every day, with all these shabby equipment." The Armed Sisters morning training is often interrupted around 9 or 10 by a familiar sound of mockery. Leonie the Castellan comes downs

In the morning until 11 am is devoted to battle training led by Lady Lucerne. To keep the Sisters’ casualties as low as possible, and to instill in them the courage to face danger without fear, she trains them with exceptional strictness.

The Armed Sisters begin their day in the communal dormitories. They rise at 4 am to wash and get dressed, followed by morning prayers at 5. Having their first meal at 6 and prepare for the morning training ahead.

🙏 If anyone had asked me when I was little what “fasting” was, the young Noa probably would have answered, “Dieting.” May God forgive that innocent and naive little girl. Fasting is meant to help people understand Christ’s sacrifice through bodily hardship, and to purify the soul by restraining one

Ah...! I'm so focus on what I'm working now and didn't realize Inktober has been around already. So I'd like to show you a bit what I'm busy with. I have to done all of them, about 30pcs, before the end of Oct, so I guess these works are literally alongside as my Inktober!😵‍💫

One of the optional bad ending of Ordo Mediare in my imagination. A female military order, in the end, is hard to be acceptable according to human history. Just like in all kind of real-world political conflicts, once people find something they can use against the Sisters, and when the situation is

There are always some things in my head running. Sometimes it’s scripture or poetry. Sometimes it’s work and daily life. Sometimes I just let my mind be like Tinta leaping between shelves. After washing my hands with soapworts this evening, I see the reflection of the full moon in the basin. The moo

💭In the Middle Ages, soap wasn't something that could be mass-produced like it is today. So what if you wanted to wash your hands but felt that water alone wasn't enough? That's where “soapwort” came in! 🫧Soapwort is a charming herb with pink flowers, widely found across Eurasia. It is said to hav

September and October are pretty busy for me this year. I have several work and opportunities to deal with, so my "manager mode" is back on, and artist mind has to take a back seat for a while. Right now, I am trying to gather and train a few amateurs as a team, then gradually hand some projects ove

🥣Since you guys mentioned soup a lot, let's have something about soup! When you think of soup, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Sweet and creamy corn chowder? Tastebud-punching hot and sour soup? Or chicken broth that can warm both body and soul when you feel ill? ⛵Medieval Europe may not

Once that widely circulated “ancient Egyptian ahegao” meme. People looked at it and laughed, then scrolled to the next post, ever wondered where it actually came from? That specific one came from the back of a stela in the Museo Egizio, Turin: Cat. 1456, the Stela of Djehutynefer, scribe of the trea

🧼Soap has a long history, and different cultures developed their own methods of making it. However, the essential ingredients have always remained the same: fat, alkali, and water. In Europe, early soaps were commonly made from animal fats and wood ash. They were often dark gray in color, soft in t

O' Lord, forgive me. For I have sinned by sexualizing the nuns I draw. I should not make jokes about their bodies. Their lives of modesty and prayer are not mine to joke about. Remember the lesson I've learned. Sexualizing nuns is a no, but nuns carrying arms are totally fine.👌

I like the concept of anti-gluttony.🥺 https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2021/10/09/not-a-monasterys-anti-gluttony-door/
