Ádám Bodorics – Beham Messer with Ring Hilt and Brass Frame Boxwood Grip

This Beham style Messer by specialist swordsmith Ádám Bodorics is a wonderfully agile sword in the hand that strikes with velocity and power – its wide and well-tempered blade bites deeply and its thin profile along the main cutting portion of the blade passes through a target with little drag and resistance – a truly fierce performer in a scrap of a melee! The thick ring at the hilt gives impressive protection to the entire hand from even notably larger weapons and the grip is a unique composite with the thick tang riveted and embedded between two halves of smoothly polished boxwood which is framed in strips of finely worked brass. The wood grip halves may look cracked, but they are actually created from a deliberate reconstruction of smaller pieces with strong and colored bonding filler in order to give the grip a unique theme and appearance that is perfectly apt to the troubled times of early 16th century Germany.

The sword is matched with scabbard of well-carved wood which is wrapped in linen for a binding to aid in durability which is then finished with overlaid tight leather with a compartment for a matching byknife which is included. Integrated and knotted to the scabbard is a thick sword belt with an adjustable buckle for wear. Below is Ádám’s own words on his unique creation offered here:

Messers take a huge variety of form and construction. This piece is based on a 1540 woodcut by Hans Sebald Beham with a subtle Memento Mori theme. In the 16th century, knifelike sidearms undergo several changes, one of them being the increasing regularity of hidden tangs. Illustrations from the period sometimes show rather complex grip shapes that would be complicated with a full-tang construction, but a hidden or a frame tang makes them much more trivial. Hans Sebald Beham often shows interesting grip shapes even in a bucolic setting, and it’s one of his woodcuts I based this piece on.

The straight and nimble blade is ground from 51crv4 (6150) high-carbon steel and is heat-treated to 50-52 HrC. It is optimized for cutting and slashing. It has plenty of distal taper and a wide fuller along it’s length. The cross has a gentle S-shape and a sidering instead of a Nagel. It is still affixed to the blade with a rivet o make sure it’s not mistaken for a sword or falchion or storta. The finials of the cross echo the trilobate design of the grip. The real tang of the blade reaches to about two-thirds of the grip. A thin steel plate was cut to the intended shape of the grip with a brass strip formed and soldered along it’s edges. The grip panels sit on the edges of the frame with the cavity between the panels and the tang filled with adhesive following the style of  surviving frame-tang sidearms.

The byknife is hand-forged and ground from 80crv2 with integrated bolsters and a forge-welded mild steel tang. The grip panels are affixed by glue and tubular brass rivets of increasing diameter. The grip panels are boxwood, buxus sempervirens. These pieces were hand-picked to highlight the effects of the blight eradicating old growth, namely the aggressive checking from quick drying following rapid defoliation and the cloudy dark discolorations. There is evidence for boxwood’s continuous use for over two millennia, but as specimens large enough for larger carvings take an immense amount of time to grow, preventive culling or neglect of infected trees both make it near-impossible for this material to stay for long. To me, using these specific slabs was like erecting a gravestone, removing the need for any overt Memento Mori or Totentanz motifs.

The scabbard has a wooden core, linen wrapping and a vegetable tanned leather wrap with an integrated subsheath for the byknife. It is dyed a light brown and is undecorated to keep the attention on the hilt of the Messer. There is a belt threaded into two slits in the back of the sheath, crossing over to either side.

Currently watching the CSI: NY season 7 episode "The 35th Floor" (again) with my grandmother and oh my goodness it's sooo good and is giving me JAC feels that make want to rewrite the show to make Jo part of the team from the first episode of the show and make JAC canon.

Okay so I may or may not have read too many JAC fanfics and wants the show to get a reboot soooo yeah.

[denimbex1986]

‘...The official Criminal Minds: Evolution Twitter account posted a teaser clip ahead of next week's episode, and it reveals JJ's fate after the end of episode 5. The clip shows JJ slowly coming to and lifting herself from the ground, as seen by the team via her live feed. There's no sign of Luke's whereabouts just yet. The clip ends on a dramatic high note as Rossi, Prentiss, and Tara enter the elevator. As the doors close, Prentiss teases Criminal Minds' jet preparing for take-off with the series' most recognizable line, "Wheels up."...

Viewers are likely thrilled to see JJ rise to her feet after another very close call for the beloved character. While it so far seems JJ is no worse for wear, the same cannot yet be said about Luke Alvez. While Criminal Minds: Evolution could use the character's death as a heavy emotional moment, it would be quite a shock to see Luke's story end with that unceremonious blast. It would be particularly tough to see him go, given that the show did already lose two key characters in the switch to Paramount+, though that could change in the case of Matthew Gray Gubler's Spencer Reid.

There seems to be more narrative value in Criminal Minds: Evolution keeping Luke around...showrunner Erica Messer has previously said that the last filmed scene of Criminal Minds: Evolution involves both Luke and Rossi, making it likely that he will live...

...Now that JJ is confirmed to be alive (at least for the time being), it seems likely that discovering Luke's fate will be a pressing plot point. Beyond that resolution, the second half of the season could see the team recovering and preparing for another push for Voit. Actor Zach Gilford confirmed episode 9 in particular will feature some surprising moments, while Tyler directed the horror-minded episode 7. Criminal Minds: Evolution is slated for ten episodes...the final stage of the Sicarius saga is bound to begin soon.’

LES MISERABLES 22/23 CAST REVIEW

Wednesday, November 30th, 2022

ACT 1

Cast:

Nick cartell-Jean Valjean 

Hayden Tee-Javert (Temporary Replacement)

Haley dortch- Fantine

Matt Crowle-Thénardier

Christina Rose Hall-Madame Thénardier

Hazel Vogel- little Cosette

Cora Jane Messer- Little Eponine

Christine Heesun Hwang- Eponine

Addie Morales- Cosette 

Gregory Lee Rodriguez-Marius 

Devin Archer-Enjorlas

Kyle Adams- Grantaire 

Gavroche- Harrison Fox

Look down

-It looks like Valjean was about to tussel with the other convict 

- javert has a very sassy walk, as he should 

- when he's giving him the ticket of leave they both hold onto it longer than someone straight would💅

-once the convicts and everyone leaves its only Jean and javert on the stage, javert glances at him and then leaves 

On parole/the bishop

-Jean stealing from petti garvis (which is later played Gavroche) was included it's when he says "the dirt beneath their feet" I believe 

-otherwise I don't really have much to say on parole most of the time it is the same so-

-bishop comes behind him like hey girly and touches him on the back, making Jean move away

-from what I had heard nick carnell doesn't usually go all out for the flIGHHHHHT, but he does now and it's high 

- when the bishop gives Jean the bag he pushed it away, only for the bishop to put it back in his hands 

Valjean soliloquy

-WHATHAVEIDONESWEETJESUSWHATIHAVEIDONE

-"my life was a war that could never be won" was yelled

- it was really fast at first and then got slow (that's what she sai-)

-he held up the ticket at "I am reaching but I fall"

-he sounded a bit like Jon robyns when he started as jvj

-"begIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" was held for so long

At then end of the day

-the transition into the factory women is really cool

-fantine is the tallest

-when fantine gets her letter she's standing away from the other girls but the male workers are walking past her, being snarky

-foreman goes over to her and starts pulling on her skirt

- ofc the gorls start fighting and Jean comes in and ZAMN THAT MAYOR FITTT

-fantine is still tall, taller than Jean but he was actually short to a lot of people

-when he leaves, he stops halfway up the stairs listening, which is at the same time she is talking about Cosette. Some foreshadowing it seems

- once fantine is thrown out she lays on the ground for a few moments, really letting it soak in with the audience as the factory women who read the letter went off stage laughing

I dreamed a dream

-beginning of the song she's sitting as if she's telling a story to someone, she keeps on having a sad smile

- she uses her hands a lot during the number

- "he took my childhood in his stride" was more sad than angry

- again as much as I loved the performance there wasn't a ton that stuck out to me this specific part since it's been performed so many times in similar ways

Lovely ladies

-the 3 men ofc come out with their parts while the rest of the stage is dark

-as soon as the prostitutes start singing the stage lights up on the staircase

-fantine has a green shawl now

- ima be honest I was trying to find the Cosette and ep actresses during this number so I wasn't paying that much attention to fantine at the beginning

-I love the prostitute with the hat and red dress, she's also the one that talks to fantine the most

- when fantine comes back with her hair chopped off, it's almost not that noticeable?? Maybe because I was sitting farther away but it looked like it was just in a bun (which probably wasn't the case since she had a lot of long hair and wouldn't of have been able to pull it back like that)

-the foreman is her first 'customer'

- they still kept it as the prostitutes singing the beginning of "Come on captain, did you wear your shoes?"

-fantine doesn't sing her part until "easy money"

Fantine's arrest

-Probably the fight that looked the fakest

-ima be honest again I was watching javert in the back because he came out on stage way to early and had to play it off

-Jean was hanging around in the back watching

- javert's baton skills are kinda 🏃‍♀️

-"this prostitute attacked me😧😧😧"

-javert tauntingly lifts fantine's chin with the baton while saying "save your breath, save your tears"

-when Jean is on the floor by fantine She is grabbing him per normal, she's honestly death gripping him

- the way they drag her off- they don't even bother lifting her anymore, they drag her by her arms off stage

Runaway cart

-before Jean lifts the cart he takes off his coat, looks around, sees javert, and then hesitates before lifting the cart up

- after that whole thing javert had picked up his coat and hat

-he helped Jean up after holding his hand for like 20 seconds

- javert continues to hold his hand until he gives him the coat

-then of course they had their whole gay conversion

- javert held onto jeans hat until "he couldn't run forever, no not even Jean Valjean" HE GAVE HIM THE HAT WHEN HE SAID JEAN VALJEAN IDK THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL, it's like he was addressing him as it too

Who am I

-Ngl I was focused on how fine he looked

- javert was at the court (which is probably normal but shh)

- nick was really good at holding his notes as jvj like okay pop off king

Come to me

-the bed is on the side of the stage

-fantine doesn't get out of bed anymore, she just sits up and reaches out

- "where the children play" and "see her when I wake" where very light and softly sung

-the light got brighter on her when Jean laid her down

-you could see javert in the shadows for his entrance

The confrontation

-The chain hit the floor when he says chaiiinnnn which was satisfying

-they where very in tune with each other, vocally and blocking wise

-to the point where when then turn their tailcoats kinda fly a little bit at the same time and it looks snazzy

-MYRACEISNOTYETRUUUUUNNN

- ofc Jean strangles javert with the chain for a few seconds which was a little sus

-javert was coughing and gasping while Jean was singing to fantine

-he got up very quickly then ran at him, he ended up running into his side back which I'm sure didn't feel good

-he actually lifted up Jean a little bit and I thought he was gonna KO his ass for some reason

-there wasn't any chair breaking either

-just Jean knocking javert out

Castle on a cloud

-little Cosette just💔

-she's just adorable and I feel bad for her

-you could hear her sweeping

-madame came in with a bucket and threw in down on the ground, making Cosette go back to taking the stools of the table

-eponine comes skipping in, she's standing on the table across from Cosette

- ep points at Cosette who was holding the bucket, Madame then says the line "still there Cosette??"

-Madame mocks Cosette when she says "Please do not send me out alone"

Master of the house

-Thénardier was laying on top of the inn set apparently, him sitting up was a shock💀

-I love the inn ladies

-there was so much happening

-SHOUT OUT TO THE WOMEN WHO WAS PEGGING HER MAN AT THE TOP OF THE INN‼️‼️‼️(implying it ofc)

- Feathers came out of the 1820s version of a blender

-really loved the number but there was so much going on to the point where it's hard to remember

Waltz of Treachery

-Cosette is pulling her bucket, she accidentally tips it over and covers her face out of frustration

- I think nick becoming a father in real life really showed in his moments with Cosette

- he's got a very light voice while they are singing the la la la la laa

-when they get back to the inn Cosette was already hiding behind Jean

- madame came over and started trying to seduce him, causing him to pause and look at the audience looking completely done

- Jean had placed his bag by Cosette who was holding it while sitting

- Thénardier went over and dragged her by them, Jean instantly sat up straighter

- Thénardier picked her up at "if she hadn't so often been ill" , Cosette was literally straight as a plank. But then as they mentioned the medicine she went limp and put her hand over her head

-when Jean starts on his part after that he's on his knees singing to Cosette "Cosette shall have a father now"

-once they leave he gives her the doll and coat, she instantly hugs him, he hesitates but hugs her back

- then they did their little dance before men yelling came onto stage he quickly picked her up and left

Look down/Paris at your feet/the robbery

-everyone loved Gavroche

-Enjolras and marius run through the people, you can probably spot marius a mile away since he's t a l l

-they stand on these blocks now instead of the barricade looking things

-the set seemed very clustered

-BEFORE OUR BARRICADES ARISEEEEEEEEE

-eponine is watching marius from a distance

-she then goes up behind him, he turned around at the exact moment causing her to run into him

- marius seemed very nervous talking to her

- she took his book at "I know a lot of things I do" and trailed the book down his torso, he grabbed her arm after a few seconds

- she yEETED his book while he was in the middle of "I like the way you always- *book gets thrown* …tease"

- Cosette was giving to the poor women while Jean was off talking with someone else

-cosette was on the way back to Jean when marius ran into her

- marius helped Cosette up by taking her hands, he was gonna kiss her hand but let go when he saw Jean

-Jean walked with Cosette and he death glared at marius

-Cosette and Jean separated again to different sides of the stage

- once montrapzee ran up to Cosette with the knife marius pushed him away and got in front of her, she was very close behind him. God I just love how much of a simp he is

-ITS JAAAAAAAVEEEEERRRRRRT

- javert came over to Valjean, helped him up as normal, then looked at him for a few seconds then let go

-Jean checked Cosette if she was hurt instantly then they ran off

-the way marius just 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️ in the background

-Marius eventually ran off, you could tell because he ain't quite at all

- Thénardier was smooching up to javert at "it was me who told you so😗"

Stars

-pretty scene overall

-stars personally is a pretty boring number to me I'm sorry

-still good vocals

Eponine's arron

-all of these sets are really pretty

-"what's become of me" sounded very pretty

-you can always tell when marius shows up by the sound alone

- HE RAN INTO THE FUCKING WALL

-eponine was giggling half way through the number due to that

-you could tell that they are besties though

Red and black

-Hottie enjolras

- Grantaire's hair is half up half down

- "marius your late🙄"

-marius is still the tallest of the cast

-i zoned out half of it on accident

- grant wrapped his arms around marius at "Is Marius in love at last?"

-enj was sitting on the table, clearly dealing with them

-when grant got up on the table and swing his bottle around for "here he comes in just like Don juan" he was air thrusting very close to the back of enjs head💀

- marius snatches the bottle, and grant jumps off, puts his hand ontop of enjs head as support to get down

-Grant and marius start acting like they are sword fighting

-when enj is thrown the bottle, grant runs into him and quickly backs up like whoops

-when marius goes up on the stairs for his part grant gets on the other table which made enj look over at him like 'seriously??'

- "Grantaire put tHE bottle down🙄🙄🙄🙄"

- Enj was very gentle with Gavroche, he lifted him in the air in front of him for a few seconds (like how Russell Crowe as javert did basically)

- Enj put up his arm when he sung "they'll Come when we call" I think it's just how he's able to hit the notes though since he did it 3 times

Do you hear the people sing

-to tHE STREETS

- the visuals are so pretty

-grant is holding Gavroches hand the whole time when they were in the back

-The one barricade boy who sings on top of the set that gets spinned around sounded really good

- when they start walking again Enj is either holding a gun or a flag I don't remember

-but grant and Gavroche are in the front following now

-during this ep and marius run out on stage, they talk, marius looks very concerned. Then he runs off only to come back 2 seconds later because he's confused and then ep drags him off

In my life

- I love how it's more of Cosette just rambling

-Jean comes in through the gate then locks it again

-during one of her lines he booped her nose

- "in your eyes I am just like a child who is lost in the woods" for some reason I had thought the line was "I am still like a child" but I was wrong

-you can hear ep dragging marius again, they sound like a stampede, they hide behind the pillars that hold the gate

-after Jean and cosette go in marius runs out to the other side of the stage singing per usual

- "eponiNE your the friend who has brought me here :DD" they then hugged, lifted her up, and spin a little bit during that line which was cute cuz besties

- watching marius try to climb the gate-

-they locked the gate on Cosette per normal

-again nick becoming a father irl really showed again

- Cosette was frantically looking around while making up the lie

- "Cosette my child what will become of you,,," sounded really dark or sad, I don't know how to describe it

-when Jean is going on his rant Cosette and marius now talk by the fence not the gate

One day more

-one slay more, another day another Yass queen

- ep on the right stage of the side by marius I think that's how it's always been tho

[fabulousfangirling]

I am SO into innocent, quirky, ball of light Penelope Garcia and broody, angsty, anti-authority Tyler Green.

PLEASE, Erica Messer, NO ALVEZ

[these-modern-times]

This was a great episode. I like how this was a professional Danny and Lindsay ep not a ship ep. Yeah they have some quick kinda ship moments but it’s all professional. Lindsay was so good, this was definitely her ep. Their crime had a good story as well.

[kultofathena]

Ádám Bodorics – Thrust and Cut Messer

Stiff bladed and well-tempered, this custom-crafted Messer from specialist swordmaker Ádám Bodorics thrusts and punctures with particularly vicious ability and it also delivers slicing cuts with decisive authority, a long false edge that runs almost half the length of the blade spine both allows for a secondary edge to be employed, as well as thinning the blade profile so that it can deftly slice through a target with minimized drag. Inspired by an original historic design, this Messer is swift in the single hand and its elongated grip allows for the use of  secondary hand for greater power and leverage as the situation warrants it. The spike-hilt crossguard and nagel are crafted from steel and the thick blade tang is stoutly riveted between two halves of ebony wood. The nagel is securely peened on the reverse side of the crossguard.

The sword is matched with a finely crafted wood-core scabbard which is hand stitched with a finishing layer of tool-embossed black leather. It includes housing for the included byknife and is finished with a thick leather sword belt for wear. A fantastic and very capable Messer for someone who wants one that will stand out from the pack!  Below are Adam’s own words about it:

Messers come in a huge variety of shapes and forms. This specific piece is pretty far from what most people think “typical” Messers to be with it’s thrust-optimized, almost swordlike blade. The piece is loosely based on an original in Glasgow which was brought to my attention by James G. Elmslie. As full documentation isn’t available yet, I just took the concept and some features from the two photos I have access to, making it very much not a copy.

The blade is hand-forged and ground from 51crv4 (6150) high-carbon steel, heat-treated to 50-52 HrC. It has a pentagonal cross-section for about two-thirds of it’s length, with the back being unsharpened. This seamlessly transforms into a stiff diamond for the final third of the blade. The cross and Nagel are both hand-forged from mild steel. The cross slides down along the blade, affixed in place by the Nagel. The width of the cross in proportion to grip length is based on the original, and so is the approximate shape, making it a very angular and pointy thing.The original lost it’s grip, but the quillon block clearly shows the cross-section, so I went with that. The grip slabs are Gabon ebony with brass spacers. It is secured by black epoxy, a much more stable emulation for cutler’s pitch, and sterling silver rivets properly peened to keep it a completely black and white set.

The byknife is forged and ground from 80crv2, heat-treated to 54-56 HrC. The bolsters and all the rivetsare also made from sterling silver. The grip shape emulates the main piece, and the material is from the same plank of ebony. The scabbard with it’s integrated byknife subsheath has a wooden core, a linen wrap and a leather cover. The leather is decorated with floral motifs loosely based on a period illustration. The back of the scabbard has two vertical slits for the silver-buckled belt which crosses over on the front.

[darcyfangirlsfrequently]

So Erica Messer has said they're kind of "working their way down the call sheet" in terms of who gets the focus of the season in Evolution

Season 1 was Joe/Rossi, as he is #1 on the call sheet

Season 2 was Paget/Emily, as she is #2

The rest of the call sheet for the core cast goes as follows

#3 AJ/JJ

#4 Kirsten/Penelope

#5 Aisha/Tara

#6 Adam/Luke

(then followed by RJ/Tyler, Nicole/Rebecca, and Zach/Voit)

Erica has said that next season involves big storylines/revolves around JJ and Tara as they work their way down the call sheet, which is interesting, because that skips over Kirsten/Penelope

But here's the thing: when CME was originally greenlit to start production, the cast signed on for a 4 year/season contract, meaning we are more than likely getting a season 19. Anything beyond that, I believe, is up in the air, but probably likely, since this show seems to never end. It also makes sense for them to start allowing 2 characters to share the spotlight rather than just 1 for a whole season if they don't have enough "guaranteed" seasons for the whole cast.

So. If season 1 is for Rossi, season 2 is for Emily, season 3 is for JJ and Tara, then who does that leave for season 4?

Penelope and Luke.

Now, do I want to wait that long for Garvez? no. I don't. at this rate I will have my degree before Garvez kisses for the first time. BUT. If we get more moments and little advancements (like "she knows i love her") that culminates in a season that surrounds Garvez???? Yeah you won't find me complaining

TL;DR - Hold on for season 19 because that will be THE Garvez season

[clairedelune-13]

Something that’s not brought up enough is how after Adamant, Dorian asks if you’re alright.

Like, you just took a traumatising jaunt through the raw Fade, probably have some serious PTSD, and no one bothers to check up on you?

Except Messere Dorian Pavus.

Either romanced or not, he seems genuinely concerned for your mental well-being.

And of course, if romanced, he reveals his brief panic he might’ve lost you forever 🥺
