My repainted #tempestusscions now rocking a SwissGuard Theme, inspired by the awesome sketches from @patso_catso.

I just stumbled over #Guardvember and had to share. From tacticool to mad-drip! 🔥🔥

One of these is a highly trained, tried-and-tested, military professional. The other is a failed, junior, US Army reservist, who couldn’t shoot straight if he was being ridden by a two-bit whore. And what’s with the pocket square imitating medal ribbons?

My money’s on the #SwissGuard in a fight!

Here’s a shot from the archives for #WieldingWednesday

This is one of the Swiss Guard, defenders of the Vatican, wielding a pike.

Makes me wonder — when is the last time that a #SwissGuard used a pike in defense of the Holy See?

Also, gotta love the uniform and stylish glasses 🤓

You may have heard that since this August, 2025, the Pope's soldiers of the #SwissGuard are allowed to have sun pavilions to protect them from the sun for the first time.

Well, here are two Swiss Guards standing next to a sun pavillion, near the Pope, on an image printed in 1700.

En passant, as we all are more interested in news about the Pope and the papacy, this summer of 2026 will be the first full sunny season in which the Pope's soldiers of the #SwissGuard are allowed to have sun pavilions to protect them from the sun. #skystorians

🇻🇦 As preparations are underway to ensure Pope Leo XIV's visit to France goes off without a hitch, the pontiff's security detail remains on high alert and vigilant for possible threats.

FRANCE 24 takes a look at how the force, comprised of Vatican police and the #SwissGuard, operates.

The Papal conclave is expected to start between 6 and 12 of May.

#Eurovision week runs between 11 and 17 of May.

Social media is about to get very confusing, as we surrounded ourselves with #SwissGuard

The Swiss Guard is an armed force, guard of honour, and protective security unit, maintained by the Holy See to protect the Pope and the Apostolic Palace within the territory of the Vatican City State. Established in 1506 under Pope Julius II, it is among the oldest military units in continuous operation. The Swiss Guard is recognised by its Renaissance-era dress uniform, consisting of a tunic striped in red, dark blue, and yellow; high plumed helmet; and traditional weapons such as the halberd. Guardsmen perform their protective duties in functional attire and with modern firearms. (Wikipedia)

Deepwater basslets! (Plus a chalk bass!)
A series of flat coloured, digitally painted illustrations of three colourful deepwater basslets, plus a chalk bass. This one is the deepwater candy basslet and it is goldenrod yellow with pink horizontal stripes. The Swissguard deepwater basslet, which is light pink with red and yellow horizontal pinstripes. The Carribean Deepwater Cave Basslet, a hot ponk and orange fish with a yellow stripe near its eye and lavender markings on its head and tail. The gorgeously underrated chalk bass, a silvery blue irridescent fish with a dark red toplone and electric blue vertical splotchy stripes.

Naters (VS) is the Swiss municipality with the largest number of Vatican Swiss Guards. It houses the Swiss Guard Museum in a former fort but it is also a beautiful village with multiple old houses and raccards 🇨🇭 🇻🇦 💂‍♀️

Inflamed by the #BrunswickManifesto and #LouisXVI's vetoes, the National Guard of the #ParisCommune et al., in #The10August, #ThisDayInHistory in 1792, stormed the #TuileriesPalace, killed the #SwissGuard, & took the king into custody. Six weeks later the monarchy was abolished.
