#this is not historically accurate in the least

[fab-bladesmith]

A Sword and Scabbard, in the style of the XI-XIIth centuries.

The blade itself follows one of the possible construction methods of the time, albeit being made of modern materials: a layer of high carbon steel forge-welded between lower carbon alloy. Thus hard steel is kept for the edges, and softer metal for the rest - which was also the point, as the fuller sports on both sides an inlay is brass, and although what it spells is not really historically accurate, the lettering at least is.

The straight Cross and Brazil Nut Pommel are of old iron with a nice, rich pattern, and both were made the "old way", with hammer and fire, according to methods I documented over the course of my PhD.

The Grip is vegetable tanned leather over linen thread over wood.

The scabbard is lined with parchment, and is made of beech wood covered in linen cloth - wrapped over near the point - and vegetable tanned leather. The decoration was made by gluing flax thread and leather cuts over the linen, and is inspired by folio 89 of the ms.002 (tome II) in the City Library of Boulogne-sur-mer.

The suspension system was heavily inspired by the wonderful scabbard in the treasury of the Bamberg cathedral (thanks to Roland Warzecha a.k.a. Dimicator for sharing this with us all), though here I used calf leather.

Chape is hand-forged in steel, and heat-blued.

It is 1018 mm long, with a 888 mm blade, 40 mm wide and 4.65 mm thick at its base. The span of the cross is 205 mm.

And although quite light (771 grams) it is still a powerful cutter, with a center of gravity some 18 cm down the blade.

Making this set was quite the learning experience, as it often is, and that's also one of the highlights of this trade.

Thanks to all who made this possible.

also I just want to say- i am sorry for what your people's ancestors and ancestresses went through and my hearth breaks knowing what are still suffering Armenian people in Azerbajan. It is truly horrible not only what Armenian people went through, but that you (as in: the whole Armenian population) are still not allowed to have a closure because the real responsable have never apologized or even recoignized the fact that the genocide happened.

I knew about the genocide because an Italian writer of Armenian origins wrote two books called "La Masseria delle Allodole" and "La Strada Per Smirne", that I suppose are a bit autobiographic or at least family-biographic, because they told the stories of what her family and theirs families and friends went through back in the day. I don't know if they are avaliable in English, or how accurate they are, but I supposed you might be interested in knowing that they exist and they are read💕

wishing you the best.

Dearie, thank you for your message and your empathy. It means a lot to me and to many Armenians to hear such understanding and support. Understanding, wrapped in the warmth of compassion, is a beacon of hope amidst the darkness of unresolved grievances.

Recognition and acknowledgment of genocides and historical injustices are crucial steps toward healing and reconciliation. Alas, this is a luxury that my nation cannot afford. To this very day, Azerbaijan and its puppetmaster Turkey are overtly and unashamedly pursuing their barbarous agenda of “leaving only one Armenian alive – and that is for a museum”, and the world is doing nothing but supporting them. The fact that our government is not better than those savages and is slowly but surely selling our land to the enemy leaves little room to hope.

Ah! Antonia Arslan! How can an Armenian not know this name? I saw the movie adaptation (brilliant!) of “The Lark Farm” when I was 8 and I have not been the same ever since. The harrowing truth that’s portrayed in the film (the book) is simply impossible to bear for the human psyche. I remember weeping for hours and not being able to stop.

Once again – thank you, dear, for your compassion. It means more than you can imagine.

Take care!

uh-oh, it’s yet another “you are a monster, but you see me and love me for all my faults, and i can’t help but feel the same” dynamic, we have no choice but to go insane over it

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

#It's so funny but as a historian I will genuinely defend 'The Tudors' to the death even with all its problems #Because it did was so few other Tudor shows/movies/media have ever done #And that is: it focused on things BEYOND just Henry and his wives. #Yes Henry was the focal point which makes SENSE but that's just it: #HENRY was the focal point. Most other Tudor media pieces have one of the wives (usually Catherine/Anne) as the focus and doesn't delve muc #Into the history or what was happening in England beyond the King's Great Matter. #The Tudors went ALL out. Yes they didn't get everything right but the fact that they tried and spotlighted so many other #Historical characters and events? The Pilgrimage of Grace? Actually LOOKING at the religious issues even if they weren't always accurate? #(Like with Aske for example. BUT AT LEAST THEY INCLUDED ROBERT ASKE like good lord it's like other Tudor media forgets everything else) #Focusing on Cromwell but also the Seymour brothers? The politics behind Henry? Even Brandon as annoying as his storylines could get. #Even smaller characters like Tallis and Gardiner and other Reformation and Counter-Reformation figures. #The fact that they featured the Reformation and Counter-Reformation AT ALL let alone tried to dive into the complexities of England's #religious crises. The burning of Anne Askew even? People having to navigate England's increasingly unstable religious situations? #The series hit its peak after the CoA/Anne stuff was over imho. Yes Cranmer and Norfolk annoyingly vanished despite being major figures in #the R/CR and they combined Mary and Margaret but god the Tudors did SO MUCH that NO OTHER PIECE OF TUDORS MEDIA has EVER DONE. #It looked BEYOND Henry BEYOND his wives and tried to paint a comprehensive pictur of a deeply troubling and divisive time in English histor #And it did so without demonising one side and it was just so good for so many reasons that I forgive its errors because damn did they TRY. #Tried in a way no one else ever has (no Wulf Hall did not I'm sorry) #(Wulf Hall was just the same old stereotypes rehashed and branded as something 'original' because it was from Cromwell's POV but again. #Same old stereotypes. Nothing actually original about anything else.) #The Tudors is so underrated for what it tried to do and what it achieved and I am reaching the tag limit but UGH god. Amazing. #Not even getting into how wonderful they were with Mary Tudor/Mary I herself and showing figures around her #Because that would be another tag essay considering the subject of my thesis. #Flawed but wonderful. #text #chey.txt

bbc ghosts, series five: the captain comes out. the younger ghosts are all very supportive of this. however, the older ghosts are confused because they still haven't really got their heads around this whole gay and straight thing. except for robin, he understands fine. anyway, alison explains modern concepts of sexuality to the ghosts, and comes away with several requests to "add the bisexual flag to my vicky pedia page, please." alison then has to explain to thomas that he doesn't have a wikipedia page, and also that's not how any of this works, guys! on the bright side, at least the ghosts understand some of the slurs julian used to use better

#bbc ghosts #humphrey (who does have a wikipedia page) #is insistent that for accuracy alison should at very least add something along the lines of #'there is speculation that this historical figure may have been bisexual' #you know. in the interests of historical accuracy :) #alison then points out that practically nothing on his wikipedia page is accurate so why fucking bother

“What if it’s the only good part?” he asks.

You are LAUGHING. Black people are desperate for aspirational figures and instead of digging into history of subsaharan Africa they are trying to claim the last and most cringefail Egyptian dynasty, and you’re LAUGHING.

(Seriously. Jada, I know you have been trough some shit last year and probably need a pick-me-up, but seriously?! Who the fuck wants the Ptolemies?! That’s like when people claim Peter the Great slept with Menshikov; like, as a queer person, my honest answer to that is “we don’t want them”.)

#random history #queen cleopatra #queen cleopatra netflix #cleopatra netflix #the ptolemies #ptolemaic dynasty #this is why i was stoked for #the woman king #i don't care if it's historically accurate #it's a step in the right direction #i.e. realizing that SUBSAHARAN AFRICA HAS A HISTORY TOO #also of all the egyptian queens #why the one LEAST likely to be black?! #hatshepsut was Right There...

Made a look for Hallie, and she's never without her sister, so!

What if Jalen was never reincarnated as Jayla?

Unlike Halie, Jalen refuses to change her outfit from the clothes she died in - with one addition: a coat which she had originally stolen as a gift for Hallie's father... but he could never bring himself to use it, and instead had Jalen buried in it.

#historical accuracy? don't know her #but jalen would never have worn historically accurate clothes either considering most of her clothes were at least a decade behind fashion #...and stolen lol #but she got *some* fairly decent clothes while she was living with hallie and caleb so!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUNIE!

This drawing was inspired by her fic, “Carnations” , in which Toni and Port meet in Granada, amid a sea of carnations, on the occasion of Carlos and Isabel’s recent wedding. In the background you can see the Alhambra, the palace where the royal couple spent their honeymoon.

#spaport #aph portugal #aph spain #Happy birthday to the sweetest SpaPort supplier on Tumblr! #your art brings me so much joy #as well as your fics and posts #yes even the silly ones that make me stare at the screen in dumbfounded silence #only to burst into laughter afterwards #I know I always say this #but having you (and your inimitable sense of humor) back on Tumblr #has been one of my greatest joys in the past years #this is the least I could do to repay you for all the smiles you've painted on my face #and my lock screen image ; ) #also!

The leg warmers are a strong choice, but I think she would personally love them despite the poor combination. And the gloves are from hottopic specifically.

#was gonna incorporate some pakistani elements into this but i didnt know how to keep it simple yet as intricate as some of the patterns #i looked at #there just wasnt a good balance i could find in this art style without making it look too out #out of place or cluttered at least #oh well maybe ill experiment with that more in another more detailed style another time #oh btw i hc her to be from pakistan #well her ancestry ig? she did live a majority of her life on an island with her stuffed dead grandpa and a dog #when i redesign dave's god tier im either gonna give him hollywood knight or historically accurate knight idk yet #and ive got nothing for june and rose so far #wip #homestuck #jade harley
