So this is where we work sometimes. Giving tours at the Malbork Castle was a part-time work, but has become more of a hobby for us, and all for the better.
A view of the Malbork Castle from the ticket office area on a sunny, cloudless day. The outer wall and trees obscuring the High Castle (monastery) and Priest's Tower. southernmost corner of the eastern wing of Mid Castle is visible.

For those who need it today (even though we doubt anyone will see this), here's a few fancy retired Mascarons from the Malbork Castle lapidarium. May they lighten up your day...
Three old limestone consoles on a shelf inside an arcade wall. The one inside is just decorative. The one on the left has an ornate Mascaron with beastly humanoid face, and leaf-like elements, looking concerned. The one on the right has a more human-like Mascaron face. looking alarmed. An old limestone console in an arcade wall shelf, with a Mascaron of a moustached beastly human face with huge eyebrows, looking stoic. A limestone Mascaron of a beastly humanoid face, smiling with a huge open mouth.

If you need a good reaction pic for shit like this, here's something from our collection, feel free to use it.
We collect Mascarons, and they have a great range of expressions.
A screaming brick mascaron - human face, wears some kind of hood or hat with a cowl.

So, what do we actually do here beside being a reply nonbinary? We don't know yet, probably some Cat's Stories links, maybe. And for sure some neat photos of the Malbork Castle and other interesting architecture. Especially Mascarons, we've bee spectrum-obsessed with them for a decade now...
The picture shows architectural detail from the Malbork Castle - a limestone console decorated with a mascaron on the lower part. It's a face with monkey-like features crowned by a lion-like mane of hair. Its expression is somewhere between a grin and a smile, with the tongue sticking out.

Here's a wordplay themed photo from the Malbork Castle. :)
Image shows a view of the Malbork Castle western outer wall of the High Castle with the dansker in the background, on the foreground is a XIX century wooden bridge with railings and roofing connecting the wall with the Middle Castle walls. In the middle of the photo is a black cat walking towards the High Castle wall, illuminated by the morning sun shining above the dansker gallery.
