So, fun fact for all of you history dorks, but you know that legend about Cleopatra being so rich and trashy that she would drink her wine with crushed up pearls in it?
Pearls are mostly Calcium Carbonate. When they mix with acids (such as those in wine) they produce carbon dioxide like little balls of fancy alkaseltzer.
What Im saying is, call Cleopatra a trashy hoe all you want, but she was the trashy hoe who invented instant champagne. Bitch was living in 3018 while everyone else was in 18

For those of you who enjoy writing about swords and/or fighting with swords, I would highly suggest you check out this youtube channel for reference. They do excellent demonstrations and cover lots of different styles of sword and their techniques.
This one is particularly noteworthy for their use of the zwerchau, the cut that kinda helicopters around over your head. It looks unwieldy, but it is very quick and not at all easy to counter. The stance you launch the cut from is also very easy to stab from if you don’t think a cut will work.
Why bother even mentioning all this? Why clutter up your dash? Because my blood boils every single goddamn time I read about big, heavy, and slow longswords! They’re not cleavers or sharp clubs: they are instruments of finesse and skill.
Unless your characters are wobbling about with swords the size of pickup trucks, they’re probably using techniques you’ll find on this channel.
Go find a HEMA club near you. It’ll improve your writing, be a tremendous amount of fun exercise, and you’ll sleep well at night knowing that I won’t be tempted to cut off your fingers in a duel when I read your material.
