“Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; that is your oath.”
— Godfrey of Ibelin, Kingdom of Heaven.
You missed a bit.
Whack! “And that is so you remember it.”
As horribly inaccurate and romanticized as this movie was; seriously the bad history gives me hives ugh; that bit I always liked. And Godfrey.

A colossal status of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (r. 117 to 138 CE) found in the ruins of a bathhouse at Sagalossos, a Greco-Roman city in south-central Turkey. It is estimated the statue stood between 13 and 16 feet (4 and 5 meters) tall.
That’s pretty big! It was an announcement of the power of Rome, personified by Rome’s divine emperor.

It’s simple! If your muse got into a fight at a fast-food parking lot, or restaurant parking lot in general, which one would it be? McDonald’s, Denny’s, Waffle House, Domino’s, Wendy’s, Chick-Fil-A?
For Hafgrim, he’d absolutely get into a fight in a Texas Roadhouse parking lot.
For Ingvar, he’d get into a fight in a White Castle parking lot.
Moxie would be found in the parking lot of Taco Bell, or anywhere else tacos can be purchased at 3am in the morning when the munchies from a day long drug bender kick in. Girl loves a good taco, or a half-assed one, she’s not terribly picky.
I’m not even joking. This has probably happened on more than one occassion i the Hero Timeline, though I imagine the fights would be rather short since she’d probably absolutely obliterate the average unsuspecting normal citizen.
As a kitsune, Hanako is unconsciously drawn to the paranormal field around a Denny’s.
Liath would most likely be rearing a hammer or two around a Red Robin, or elsewise trying to forge something in the braziers in front of a Copper Canyon Grill.
Eva would be drunk/hungover at Denny’s and probably complaining about the lack of GOOD coffee and get into a fight with Lir about what constitutes “good coffee” anyway. it’s hot, black, and comes with caffeine, lady- *but also can I please have a latte?*
Eirickr would get into a fight at any steakhouse that doesn’t ALSO serve good beer. Will would back him up and wish it was legal to carry swords because Guns Take No Skill™
Justin is Too Much The Gentleman to fight, but he and Fionn would get into a HEATED discussion about politics and what constitutes a Real Republic at the Jack-In-The-Box at 3:37am
Mhartainn is sliding down into the booth, hiding behind his menu, because Why Is There Yelling I Just Wanted Food
“The existence of the gods is a helpful thing; so let us believe in them. Let us offer wine and incense on ancient altars. The gods do not live in a state of quiet repose, like sleep. Divine power is all around us: live a moral life! Return property held in trust, live up to agreements, be honest; keep your hands free from bloodshed.”
— Ovid, “Bacchus and Ariadne”, Ancient Rome: An Anthology of Sources, edited by R. Scott Smith. Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing, 2014, p 245. (via honorthegods)
Mutuals, followers, tumblrites, lend me your eyes: have you ever wanted to flaunt your pride and overweening vanity and get exiled for breaking sumptuary laws? the hex code for Tyrian purple is #66023c.
