Yay!! Got back on the track today. After last weeks minor setback I participated in this years Disctrict Championship in the discipline “Swedish Hunt”. This time with my Turkish Bow from Vegh. It resulted in a Silver medal! It was a great day with lots of nice people and lovely autumn weather. #archery #traditionalarchery #instinctivearchery #turkishbow #horsebow #veghbows #silvermedal #districtchampionship #championship #stallarholmen #competition (på/i Stallarholmens Bågskytteklubb) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8MSquo_dK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Work in progress, Saturday edition.

A snippet:

The Professor turned to him fully, pulling one leg under her thigh in order to do so. She then lifted her hands up towards him. Seteth watched her warily. After a moment of stillness she motioned for him to come to her. “Would you like a hug?”

“I would not.” Though she still kept her hands up at his rejection.

This morning I had a great archery class, shooting Korean Horsebow, and finally having that CLICK moment I’ve been trying to reach for two weeks.

I did also give myself *dramatic* string burn. This is the bruise immediately after shooting, and less than 12 hours later… can’t wait to see what it looks like tomorrow haha

And then this evening I did a Wildlife Drawing class with the People’s Trust for Endangered Species, in which we drew and learnt about Dormice.

It’s like I have a real social life… when did that happen?

@fellstcr​ II Starter Call

“Hey, kiddo.”

Although the monastery was on high alert due to the rumored sightings of the Death Knight, Jeralt still manages to muster a smile that’s not entirely forced. He was sincerely happy to see his child. And, of course, he knew what the month of the Horsebow Moon meant.

“This might not be the best time, but I got you a little present. It’s a new sword, just in case things get hairy.”

He turns a bit red as he explains the next part.

“For the occasion, I ... put a bow on it.”

hi! you're great I love your work! I've got a weirdly specific archery question and thought I'd send it to you in case you'd find it fun to have a crack at

say you're an expert archer originally from Vietnam sometime in the late bronze age. say you're a super duper expert archer because it turns out you're immortal, and so you do your archery across Eurasia through the first millennium BCE and the first millennium CE and into the age where gunpowder weapons are evolving into cannons. that's a long time to be alive and you do lots of hunting and fighting with all kinds of bows and shooting styles, especially war archery on horseback. then you're out of the picture for a while, let's say you're peacefully sleeping for a handful of centuries. (this is about Quynh from The Old Guard who alas was not peacefully sleeping)

all of a sudden you blink and you've gone from the era where firearms were just starting to develop and maybe with this new flintlock thing guns could eventually get good enough to rival a bow and arrows— bam, now you're in the 21st century. what kinds of modern archery tech would you be most excited to try out? what would you think of a compound bow? Olympic style archery? plastic fletching?? how about the modern reproductions of what are now considered historical bows and shooting styles? is there anything about 21st century archery that you'd want to rant about at length? other opinions about these newfangled takes on your trusty old bow and arrows you care to share?

This is a phenomenal question, and thank you for asking it! Here’s my 2 cents:

The thing about modern archery is that for the most part, modern bows are designed to make it easier to be accurate, to the stage that modern target accuracy is probably better than it’s ever been historically.

BUT, if we assume Quynh is capable of feats of archery that match the level of melee combat skill that e.g. Andy has, then she doesn’t NEED it to be easier to be accurate.

My guess is that someone like her would actually find most modern archery developments needlessly slow and awkward. Compound bows and Olympic recurves are NOT designed for instinctive, fast shooting, and would probably feel quite restrictive once she got over how easy they made accuracy.

BUT, I imagine she would be blown away by the range and arrow speed that modern bows can generate, and there are some recurves (and at least one compound bow), that have been designed to make use of the efficiency of modern materials and bow design, while still allowing traditional shooting styles, and those, THOSE are something an ancient immortal archer might fall in love with! (FWIW, my own go-to is a horsebow made with carbon-fibre limbs and a modern limb profile, and for impact energy it can match some traditional bows with a draw weight that’s 50% greater. The Oneida eagle compound could trump that).

So yeah, it might take her a bit, but once she gets her hands on the right equipment, she’d be (even more) TERRIFYING!

Some random Dimileth ideas for the weekend

1. Byleth sees Dimitri overworking himself. To help, she obtains dancer certification so others can take on more of the load. It backfires spectacularly when Dimitri runs ahead and goes full boar mode to prevent her dancing for anyone else.

2. Byleth receives a call at work from his home security service, notifying him of a possible fire at his home. He looks at his desk calendar-- 20th of Horsebow Moon. "Don't worry about it, I know what happened." A cloud of smoke and flour-covered Dimitri greets him at home.

Look sometimes you overflow with feelings and inflict them on your favorite characters so you don't have to feel everything by yourself.

--

Dorothea had just finished readying for bed when there came a knock at her door. She had been expecting this particular knock all evening, and so was not surprised to find Ferdinand looking sheepish in the hallway. Putting on a banal smile, Dorothea said, “Why, Ferdie! To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Good evening, Dorothea. Um, could we speak?”

Dorothea stepped aside to let him through. Though she still didn’t feel quite settled into her rooms here in the Enbarr Palace just yet, she at least had a tea table and two chairs set by the bay windows. Said windows were dark now, with only a few scattered dots of torchlight outside, but Ferdinand still took a seat there expectantly. Dorothea sat across from him. 

Without any preamble whatsoever, Ferdinand said, “How did you know I am— that I had feelings— that I felt that way about Hubert?”

“Oh my, how red your cheeks are! You’re just adorable, Ferdie.”

“Dorothea, please.” He looked away, pulling at his collar. “You said you had known for two years. Exactly what is it you noticed?”

Ever since their chat this morning during their usual garden walk, Dorothea had known this conversation was coming. Still— she made a show of running her fingers through her hair, trying to select a handful of incidents from the two or three dozen she had cataloged over the years that Ferdinand would find indisputable. Though a skilled fighter and an exemplary advisor to Emperor Edie, he did wear his heart on his sleeve a fair bit. 

“Well,” she began after she felt her silence had tortured him long enough, “you treat him differently than the rest of the Eagles.”

“In what way?” He sounded almost offended. 

“You talk about different things. You have private rituals together. Have you ever thought to invite me to one of your coffee and tea dates under the oak tree?”

Ferdinand shifted in his seat. “Those are not dates.” He countered. “And anyway, aside from Edelgard I have known Hubert the longest out of all of you. We share the task of keeping the Empire from ruin—it makes sense that we talk about ‘different things’ than I do with the other Eagles.”

“How about when you gave him that expensive coffee?” 

“I give people gifts all the time. I recall making you cookies before we were even properly friends!”

“Yeah, but you weren’t half as nervous to give me the cookies as you were to give him the coffee.” When Ferdinand didn’t deny that, Dorothea chuckled. “How did it take you so long to figure this out for yourself? If you could see the way you look at him, Ferdie, it would have been obvious to you too.”

Ferdinand set his elbows on the table and covered his face with both hands, letting out a truly helpless-sounding groan. It was adorable to see him so flustered. Dorothea almost told him so again but held back. Instead she let her grin widen as Ferdinand peeked at her between his fingers.

“Do you think he knows? If I have been that obvious…”

“I don’t think so. When it comes to love, Hubie can be pretty clueless.”

“Thank the Goddess.” Ferdinand sat back in his chair. His face was impossibly redder. “The Horsebow Moon ball is in less than a month.”

Dorothea’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t try and change the subject.”

“That is not my intention. I only mean that the ball is the next social event Hubert and I are both required to attend. There is every chance that I will slip and reveal myself.” Ferdinand stood, a determination taking over his expression with the abruptness of cold water. “I shall have to redouble my efforts to move past my affections.”

“Redouble? Ferdie— Ferdinand!”

For he had started marching away towards the door. Jumping to her feet, Dorothea grabbed his arm. “What makes you think you have to get over Hubert?”

Ferdinand looked back, tone stiff as he stated, “It is not worth the risk. We work closely together. If I upset that balance—”

“You might not!” Dorothea put a hand to Ferdinand’s cheek, willing his face to soften again. “He might feel the same way! Or, at worse, you’ll have a few awkward conversations and be done with it. It’s not healthy to bury something like this. The Empire won’t collapse if Hubie finds out!”

“Perhaps not but…” Ferdinand turned his gaze from hers. “Knowing how I feel will put him in an awkward position. It has taken so long for us to get this comfortable with one another— suppose knowing how I feel puts distance between us? I cannot risk our friendship. I cannot put him through such unnecessary turmoil. I… I care about him too much to do that.”  

Dorothea cupped his cheeks with both hands now, forcing Ferdinand’s eyes back to her own, prepared to make every argument against that. But she stopped when those copper eyes met hers. “Oh, Ferdie… You look heartbroken already.” Ferdinand stepped out of her grasp. Dorothea let him, chest tight in sympathy. “You know, you can’t put him through worse than anything that happened during the war,” Dorothea tried one last time.

Ferdinand shook his head. “These things pass. It’s not worth troubling him over. Good night, Dorothea. Thank you for the talk.”

Then Ferdinand stepped through the door, and disappeared into the palace hallways. 

Frustration bubbled up alongside pity inside Dorothea. She strode forward to close and locked the door, far less amused than when she had first opened it. Flopping down on her bed, Dorothea let out a too-long sigh, letting her eyes slip shut. “He’s usually such a brave little bee,” she muttered into the stillness of her room.
