The sword of the day is the stiletto.

The stiletto is an Italian renaissance-era dagger with a long, slender profile and a needle-like point. It is a development on the rondel dagger, and initially served a very similar purpose; a backup weapon to pierce through gaps in armor while in extremely close quarters combat. It was also developed from a second weapon, called a misericorde, used to deliver mercy kills to downed knights through their heavy armor. The narrow blade could penetrate through chain mail at the armpit to reach the heart, or even stab through the eye slits of a helmet to kill quickly via brain injury. Later, the stiletto was adopted as an assassin’s weapon, easily concealed and able to pierce through heavy leather and fabric clothing. The strikingly narrow blade is so iconic that it remains a name for many different kinds of long, narrow features, like extremely thin high heeled shoes.

"Hey constantine, who's that?" Someone asks and Connie looks down at Danny, blue eyes staring back at him.

"My coworker."

"He's my dad."

"What?"

"What."

—

Who knew John Constantine would gain a ward, one being such a little mischievous bastard with bright eyes and good heart.

He certainly didn't.

Nor did he expect the stabby Robin to get into a heated argument with his ward, gesturing to his form next to Batman and spit venom.

"But‐ Damian! Look at him! I can fix him!" Danny argues back and Robin, so done with this, rips his mask off and—

Oh.

They have the same face.

Connie looks at Batman, nervous what the reveal will change.

("I don't care if you can 'fix' him, danyal! Return to Father, to me!")

Batman stares back.

("Connie is dad shaped! I chose him myself, damian! Leave me and my choice alone!")

The day will only get longer, it seems.

no one can stop me from creatureifying the hermits not even myself

today's victims are Gem (sea otter) Grian (great potoo) and Scar (cat)

#gem as a seafaring sword-wielding otter is the most redwall-ass thing i've ever drawn #it was also a stroke of genius on my part #I've drawn more salmon in the past day than I have in the entire rest of my life combined #Grian #geminitay #goodtimeswithscar #hermitcraft #rot draws

i find it very funny that people keep saying that grian is going against his rebellion rule by working for the government (not necessarily incorrect) and that the dhp is going to incite a revolt because the dhp is Different from previous governing forces in that the only control grian is excising over the other hermits its annoying them as much as possible (which he does regardless).

like. hermits love corruption. they love running corrupted governments and then dismantling them violently for fun. the dhp isnt necessarily Not Corrupt, but its Not Not Corrupt either. grian gets no profits out of this. he tries to avoid doing his job in every way possible but he still ends up doing it. the dhp is just here to rectify any mistakes made during the initial hermit permit set up and help people with their permit problems.

the dhp is meant to be as soul sucking as possible, but it does still help in the end (if you can actually get grian to cooperate). He'll Do This For You, but he Won't Be Happy About It. his sole payment is how crazy it all drives you.

and while this is not NOT an unrevoltable offense (the hermits have certainly rebelled for less), this also doesnt show any outright corruption other than whatever you'd call a depressed looking man working customer service who hates you for making him do his job. which i dont think really counts. thats just what customer service does to you.

#grian #hermitcraft 10 #hermitcraft #this is all just to say that the chances of a revolt may be lower than you think #government work is just like. extended customer service. if you think about it #some day one of my posts wont turn into a multi-paragraph tangent #joel threatened him with a sword and still ended up losing in the end.#the dhp arc is up there with hyperspace hippies in terms of my favorite arcs i think

The sword of the day is the lantern shield.

The lantern shield was an especially odd and rare Renaissance-era European weapon. In its most basic form, it is simply a shield combined with a lantern, used for fighting at night time. At some point, though, some enterprising young armorer decided that, well, we’re already incorporating a lantern into the design. What else can we add to it? So, several surviving examples are fitted with an integrated gauntlet, as well as a frankly irresponsible number of blades and spikes, giving a wielder a wide variety of offensive options. That said, the difficulty of their construction and rather niche use means that not many examples survive to the modern day.
