Y'all think Baldwin and Varre would be besties?

im sick again so i apologize for my absence in texts :((

Can I please ask you a question? Why did king Baldwin IV of Jerusalem threatened to destroy mosque?

im not entirely sure but researching a bit it looks like he intended to do so because of a talk with his council on the next course of action, after saladin had abandoned an ongoing seige but provided no truce which was.. suspicious.

before the threat on the mosque baldwin was already making his way through Saladins territories, and eventually capturing (?) Cave de sueth.

after the capturing, he had made the threat.

a good sumerian inexplicably donated five packs of 500 temporary tattoos to the classroom, each pack featuring identical pictures of a different invasive species of bug

managed to work on the mask a bit more as im feeling better, thank you to everyone who was concerned about my wellbeing, it means alot to have such a supportive group of people! :)

i know the mask is looking bumpy, with the materials i am working with its quite difficult to get an exactly perfect finish, but i promise with weathering itll look just as good as the movie! :)

(btw theres no filter on this, my room was very pink at the time of taking this lol)

i checked both spanish and Portuguese and theres not much difference, unfortunately doesn't really narrow it down

So scrolling through pinterest, I'm wondering.. All the KoH fans I need help finding this film

@michaelcycael got me thinking about if someone touched baldwin when he was blind would be be able to comprehend if someone was there
