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.

Them: :C

Me: This will happen to everything you enjoy, except for tits. Those still rock. Later nerd!

Remember. Western society tries hard to make us cold and ruthless. An act of kindness is an act of rebellion.

Go. Rebel.

based on my experience in the last 7 years or so, i'd say people are born fully formed and 21 years old. i haven't met anyone in person who was younger than that since maybe college

it actually takes astonishingly little institutional trauma to make you deeply unwilling to seek out medical help for new problems ever again
