The point above still stands.

I wanted to talk about these because apparently a lot of people outside of germany and the surrounding countries don't know about these. And with the rise of right wing politics in parts of the western world it is important to talk about the victims of the Holocaust.

These are called Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) because while you go about your day to day life you literally "stumble" across these. These stones are on the ground, where everyone walks, in the middle of hundreds of cities all over Germany and a few neighboring countries.

They are in front of the last residencies of victims of the Holocaust. Every single stone is dedicated to one person. They always say "here lived -name-" then their birthday and what we know about what happened to them.

For example this one says:

"Here lived

Georg Rosenberg

Year 1886 (which is the year he was born in, the exact birthday isn't known)

Arrested 1939

Deported 1943

Murdered in Auschwitz"

These are there so that we will never forget what happened and that even when you're doing mundane chores you might stumble across these and remember the victims. This is especially important now that the last survivors, who can tell their stories first hand, are dying.

Every year people get together to clean the Stolpersteine, so that they stay intact and readable.

Remembering and being reminded of the horrible things that happened and remembering the victims is one of the most important parts in preventing something like this from happening again.

So if you ever come to Germany or if you actually live here and have never noticed these, maybe take some time to look down and read about these people's fates

DUDE COME ON YOU’RE SUCH A GOOD ARTIST

More orcs and elves and fantasy stuff today.

Up front is a dark elf named Idrilli of Torkel with her journal (bonus points if you can figure out what the journal has to do with my laziness) in a dress inspired by that crazy gold spider silk cape that made rounds on the internet a few years ago.

In the backdrop a mysterious and ominous figure, thanks entirely to @monsterbrush for offering to let me use a sketch from their upcoming character sheet for their Orc character, Konkor, for this intimidating silhouette of an orc hunter.

EVERYONE LOOK! This story is gone and so is the og blog but the art remains! This scene remains iconic as does this drawing!

Some fan art depicting my favorite scene from one of my favorite Mad Max: Fury Road fanfics titled “Midwife Rising” by ImRobin on AO3.
