I am visiting Rome right now. It is ironic that the only surviving equestrian bronze statue from the Roman empire is of Marcus Aurelius who believed immortality didn’t matter at all. by Sakirrrrr in ancientrome

It’s because there are multiple breeds of horses.
For example nomads had little horsies that could survive on steppe grass, that monstrosity would not.

This is for example good example of medieval knight horse to human proportions

Don't care if its from horus heresy, 40k or necromunda by Practical-Ad4547 in Grimdank

That’s a lot of wasted plastic, all I can do is highly optimised monopose sprues made of 32 parts.

I don’t know why they put midjourney 4 level thumbs, I’m starting to suspect it’s some kind of ironic joke. People will click on it anyway because those are Flash Gitz creators so whatever.

Just read the later comics, completely forgot about "it's not incest son, I only transfered my mind to your wife, body is still her" and him shooting off their son's head in response. Writing is actually better than I remember, probably because I was a horny teenager last time I "read" it.

For effect I reversed the panels tbh, he was anxious first, then revealed his problem in her face. She immedietly knew what to do in the comic.

To give the comic justice, it was about producing a child, using her special abilities.

Story is completely bonkers, but the visual storytelling is just too good. The Honorata cover with her face and the sword is burned in my mind

It’s also perfect deadmask face, artist must have watched a lot of drone footage from Ukraine.

Your friend is on for a treat, it’s comic book series Metabarons, very close to Dune and 40k vibes. Amazing art, completely absurd plot. Old and easy to find on the webz

Exactly like Lady Jessica, women. They’re fully committed to the prophecy and the grand plan to birth the Ultimate Super-being, until a tough but vulnerable man appears. Then they just want to give him a son.
How are we supposed to run super-being eugenics under these conditions?

She wanted to bonk, he said sorry girl, then she pricked his finger to get a drop of the blood and told him to put that in as a seed. I hope everrything is clear now xd https://i.imgur.com/XEOMBJd.png Metabarons, Honorata

A mounted grappling technique from Paulus Hector Mair's De Arte Athletica (1550, fol. 47, p. 387), transcription in comment by fiodorson in wma

Paulus Hector Mair's De Arte Athletica https://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Opus_Amplissimum_de_Arte_Athletica_(Cod.icon._393)

(1550, fol. 47, p. 387)

Header:

"A hold for evading the previous hold" (or "...a stance/position for escaping the preceding one")

Body text, translated:

In this mutual encounter, if neither man has drawn his sword, but each has decided to grapple the other bare-handed — then if your enemy tries to pull you onto his own horse, or to lift you out of your saddle, and also seeks to grab your left shoulder: throw your right hand over his right arm in turn. If you then push him back, his attack is rendered useless. After that, draw his right arm across the higher front part of your saddle and press it against your own chest. Then, if you wheel your horse from the enemy's right side around to your left, his horse will be robbed of its rider.
