Bury me in this.

Get buried in this, get found by archeologists ten thousand years later, get presumed some kind of monarch or holy figure.

Stunning & Unusual Polymer Creations
Russian artist Alisa from LiskaFlower creates brooches and pendants from polymer clay. She admits to Bored Panda, “I love Japanese polymer clay and at first, I’ve been creating flowers. Gradually I came up with my own style of jewelry. I curl each pattern with my hands, then many many pieces add up to a greater whole.” Find them in her Etsy shop.
In Which Diversity Isn’t a Myth
Ok. I’m tired of the typical vampire, werewolf and fairy.I’m also tired of the occidental-centrism in mythology. Hence, this list.
I tried to included as many cultural variants as I could find and think of. (Unfortunately, I was restricted by language. Some Russian creatures looked very interesting but I don’t speak Russian…) Please, add creatures from your culture when reblogging (if not already present). It took me a while to gather all those sites but I know it could be more expansive. I intend on periodically editing this list.
Of note: I did not include specific legendary creatures (Merlin, Pegasus, etc), gods/goddesses/deities and heroes.
