Guandao 

[cutecuttlefish]

The sword of the day is the guandao.

The Guandao is a Chinese polearm, very similar to the European glaive. Its more proper name is Yanyuedao, or “reclining moon blade,” likely in reference to its curved shape. Its more common modern name comes from its use by the general Guan Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a great classical novel in Chinese literature, where he wielded a massive example known as the “Green Dragon Yanyuedao.” It is somewhat unclear, though, if the timeframe for this is correct, and this use of the guandao may be anachronistic. It is used with a series of spinning, slashing cuts, using momentum to keep the blade moving. There is also a parrying hook on the back edge like those found on many European polearms, used to catch enemy blades.

After deep thinking, I decided to give Hadi Aepel a weapon, A Kwan Dao/GuanDao, Well, in a unique way where he just made it out of his magic, green magic 💚💚🌿🌴🥑🌳 It looks similar to Guan Yu ones, without the dragon of course.

Sinto que no momento que saí de GuanDao o fim da minha jornada começou e ele será escrito por mim e pelas pessoas que estão ao meu lado, meus companheiros, meus amigos.

E a subida até a nascente será o tempo que terei para me preparar a fim de escrever as últimas estrofes.

EPIC

The legendary Guan Dao, a weapon wielded by ancient Chinese warriors, now reimagined with stunning detail. The blade's engravings tell stories of power and protection, honoring a martial legacy that spans centuries. A true collector’s piece and a testament to the art of swordsmithing.

Arid Guandao

A Guandao based off of golden colored sand and sandstone. This will use in a new animation that I am working on (that I won’t cancel unlike the previous one) Where a Warrior based off of the desert faces off against a mutated scorpion of the desert called “The Wasteland.”

I’ll never get there, but if I put the work in, maybe I’ll get close enough that I can chase just behind perfection — and have a front-row seat as you achieve it.

Foram o que? 10 minutos? Nem isso talvez, mas ainda sim consegui ver Mei antes de ir embora, e foi incrível ser recebida como se não tivesse passado nem uma semana e não quase 1 ano. A energia contagiante, uma moça tão espirituosa e alegre, ela me fez muito feliz e espero que ela seja para sempre, se eu voltar, tenho tantas fofocas para conta-lá e tantas outras para ouvir.
