Fun sword fact: all the swords you see in "serious" (tone-wise) fantasy like Game of Thrones are much more of a modern aesthetic than a medieval one. Medieval aesthetic would be considered downright gaudy by today's standards.
Dyes were expensive and therefore a sign of wealth, so no nobleman would be caught dead with an undecorated black scabbard or an unengraved, un-inlayed blade as long as he could afford to dye his scabbard bright colors and inlay gold or silver into his sword. The image is an example of what might be more typical for a reasonably wealthy nobleman around the time of the Battle of Agincourt.
Travelling back in time to talk to my younger self.
Them: So what's the internet like?
Me: So you know those cool internet programs you use to hang out with people and stuff?
Them: Yeah they're awesome
Me: They will all become bloated and die under the weight of their own monetization.
Them: :C
Me: This will happen to everything you enjoy, except for tits. Those still rock. Later nerd!
