Skill: Shows off the blacksmiths massive horse cock. In a time before modern machinery some crazy Germans and Swiss hammered beyond natural human limit. They probably did it as a meme then realised it was actually useful as a weapon. Sharpening a wavy blade would have been a nightmare.
Functional: Good for duelling sword vs sword. A traditional sword allows you to slide off an enemies blade if your swords clash, because the blade is straight. The waves in a flamberg blade creates vibrations which hurts the opponents hands, that doesn’t sound like much but it gives you an advantage. Very useful for parrying since the enemies sword will strike, then the blade gets stuck on your wavy blade or they pull away from the impact shock. Either way you will have an opening to attack. Also the waves cut much deeper similar to a serrated knife. If you got cut once by this blade, you would not be able to stitch your wound shut, you are pretty much sliced bread.
Aesthetic: Someone challenges you to a duel, while they unsheathe their boring longsword, you unwrap your wiggly sword. They immediately apologize and run because you are rich enough to afford a wiggly sword and probably have multiple wenches giving you ankle parchments.
The Looney Tunes Show was great. Sucks that it only got two seasons. Last night I watched an episode where Granny told Daffy about how she was a WAC during WWII. That episode was beautiful.
It was the last days of WWII. They Nazis were being run out of France, but they decided to take some of France’s most valuable art.
The show’s animators drew pretty accurate Mp-40s, considering the show’s style. Normally most animated shows would draw a gun vaguely resembling whatever it was supposed to be.
Including the Eiffel Tower.
Tweety served as a carrier pigeon(they were using all of the birds they could find).
Here’s Granny kicking a nazi on top of the blimp.
And here’s Tweety saving Granny’s life
Granny and Tweety Bird are war heroes.
I can’t believe Sylvester’s been trying to eat an honored veteran
@ppl who liked The Hunger Games when they were younger and want to read another book about young people overthrowing the government
READ THE CHAOS WALKING TRILOGY BY PATRICK NESS
it’s just as good as literally so much better than The Hunger Games and hits on similar social topics! the corruption of the government, patriarchy fucking up society, radical revolutionaries, the horrors and thrills of war, etc
but! these books are not just about those sad things.
they are about growing up, about making mistakes, about using love as strength instead of weakness, about HOPE, and tbh i think that a lot of people could benefit from reading them especially with how things are in our current society. plus there’s talking animals, and who doesn’t love that?
i know i sound like a broken record about these books all the time, but honestly they are masterpieces that deserve to be talked about more often than they are. they’re being adapted into movies in 2019 and it would be lovely for people to read the books and love them for what they actually are before Hollywood destroys the fantastic messages Patrick Ness has carefully crafted
“Hope may be the thing that pulls you forward, may be the thing that keeps you going, but that it’s dangerous, that it’s painful and risky, that it’s making a dare in the world and when has the world ever let us win a dare?” -Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
