Voted team Mace!

Omg a fellow macehead! I do like axes, but real-life maces are so intricate and beautiful, there's really nothing better :3

For my part, I chose cherry for healing potion flavour :P

I was researching medieval weaponry, for a school project, not for writing purposes actually, and stumbled upon these images of various polearms (source), and it occurred to me that they matched Rafal's aesthetic, especially in TLEA, so enjoy, I guess?

the labrys is a lesbian symbol, and a feminist symbol.

but i am a non binary lesbian and i think my personal strength and self-sufficiency is better symbolized by the bec de corbin.

Not an expert in medieval weaponry, but just want to put it out there that despite how fun it is to say that Ava "maced Lilith in the face", she used a flail, not a mace.

I don't know anything about swords, but you can talk to me about swords as much as you want. The more you talk about swords and bows, the better!

Bec de Corbin best medieval weapon. Does all the things the others do, while also granting a good amount of range and leverage. Looks cool as heck too!

(Obviously pick what you love lol)
