Moonrabbits

Image
  Moonrabbits are a curse upon the world.  These vicious and solitary killers are the only carnivorous lagomorphs known.  A single moonrabbit would terrorize an entire county in the pre-firearm age, and they delight in combat and bloodletting.   Moonrabbits are nocturnal and have a marked sensitivity to light.  They avoid each other and only associate with their own kind to mate.  They are very advanced technically and have been known to fashion steel weapons.  It is believed that some are literate. Attempts have been made to lure them into military service, but the certainty of them killing their fellow soldiers has made this a futile effort.  Because of their nightime activities they are also known as dream rabbits, bloodfurs, and nosbunniculu. A moonrabbit will almost never ignore a challenge and many have been eliminated by ambush in this manner.  A common trapping method uses the ancient technique of tarbaby ...

  The Great He-Goat or El gran cabrón ), Francisco Goya.  La Quinta de Sordo.* Oil on plaster, transferred to canvas.  El Prado, Madrid.  1820 - 1823.  *House of the deaf one.

Goya ground his own pigments which meant using a lot of white lead. It was an occupational hazard among painters at the time. 'Mad as a hatter' comes from the use of mercury in making felt. Best to be born wealthy and have others make your hats and paint your walls. https://www.wga.hu/html_m/g/goya/9/index.html Keep moving.

A Few Of My Faves

  0 Perseus D Bunny.  I left out the winged sandals, the mirrored shield, the Cap of Invisibility, and the flying horse.  Those things are not realistic. The Iliad, Texas Style! To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace. My gladiator bunny has worked his way up to command of a legion.  The wolves don't care, they follow the Alpha, and as long as Flamma keeps them satiated with blood and gold that is just fine with them.   Flamma is consumed by ambition and is an extremely able and successful general.  The Emperor really should arrange an accident for this rabbit.  Bunnies just want to have fun. Odysseus has told Polyphemus, the Cyclops, that his name is NoMan.  That night, after eating several sailors and drinking wine, Polyphemus goes to sleep.  Odysseus and his remaining crew sharpen a po...
