man. in a better world where meliodas kept the boar hat, the wheat allegory would scalp and skin me

i do enjoy "living weapon" characters but specifically living weapons who did in fact do absolutely horrific things which at least a part of them enjoyed and thought was good and right at the time, and that no amount of not knowing any better or guilt they feel in hindsight will ever make up for. i love living weapons who are "irredeemable", and no it's not their fault that they were made that way or pointed in the directions they were by the hand that wielded them, and yes they are victims, but so were their victims. living weapons who some people will never be able to forgive, but who still wake up every day and try to do better than what's expected of them. a sword that uses its blade to cut wheat to make bread for the people who once lived in fear of its arc falling on their heads.

#USING WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION TO CREATE #SOBBING #but side note i mention the draconic a few times in my fics #because i have a hc that there's no world where meliodas' huge ass sword from the first holy war was his first choice #it's so dumb and hard to use #so who would make that sword in the first place?#well her name was calypso #she was the pharaoh queen of the lunar house of the draconic #a big part of their coming of age is to forge a sword fit to be wielded by the gods #craftsmanship is super important to them #it marks a careful attitude attention to detail and patience #all qualities you want in a leader #but she forged this incredible sword and brought it back to her people in the mountains #and it got fucking stolen by chandler so meliodas would use it #it's supposed to be decorative. like in theory it's functional but in practice it wasn't made for a five foot lil demon #and three thousand years later after they're all released form the seal the sword shows up again #not in its original form #but it's the same metal and patterning and everything but it's used by calypso's daughter and heir #her name is sina and she happens to be ban's apprentice which is so fucking funny to meliodas #because this draconic kid walks in using a sword made from his sword that was stolen from a draconic and he shits himself on the spot #because how the fuck did she get that
