#Longsword

[we-are-knight]

I teach honourable fencing and chivalrous combat.

Yet somehow, I raised a dagger fighting rogue, that can beat swordsmen with her dagger.

the best part about studying italian longsword is that if you lose to a german school fencer you can always remind them that fiore was a little more concerned with self defense and real world tactics of murder so his methods just aren’t allowed to shine in the way they could when confined to a strict and prescriptive tournament setting. and if you beat a german school fencer you can say mama mia bitch get fiored !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I learned that my roommate's cat loves swords!! Observe

(note: this is a practice sword, it's completely blunt. the cat is perfectly safe)

My Sword builder resource is up!

This is a mix-and-match longsword base with a lot of premade parts and combinations. Comes as a PSD file. You can play around and create very fancy sword graphics in minutes with it!

Up on my Ko-fi shop for $5!

A couple weeks ago my HEMA instructor referred to inviting someone to attack you as a "pickup line" and the first thing that came to my mind was

"Hey baby," *performs a mediaeval longsword technique, killing you instantly*

(There’s been some confusion, I’m a real fencer, not a cosplayer 😭😭)

My friend and I took some amazing and edgy glamour shots of me in steel fencing kit holding a steel sword yesterday, I’ve just been playing about with them.

The red band around my arm would signify who I am in the tournament (You’re either Red Fencer or Blue Fencer, they don’t call out your name during a fight), and well, my best friend’s steel jacket is already blue so that makes me Red Fencer. And fits with my Jupiter persona—

They’re very album-image-esque. Me, getting into music? No wayyyyyyhhhhh unlesss (I don’t just foreshadow nothing!) (Don’t worry I have a musical background + bits of musical theatre too, I promise I’m not a YouTuber who just decides they’re a singer 😭😭😭) For fun, anyway.

Side note: Not all the guards I did in those shots are real fencing guards, sometimes we just wanted a good shot.

Historical fencing is great cuz you can literally go "this blows, I would rather be getting hit with a 3 lb steel bar rn" in basically every situation and mean it with your whole heart

Another one for the HEMA folks, or SCA or LARP or other collections of capital letters! It is available here if you are inclined to wear clothes or stick things on other things

If my clubmates would stop saying banger things like this I would be able to stop drawing piles of weapons and twisty banners. But for now it's a pretty fun challenge for my art so I'll allow it
