Do you rant to your girlfriend about how a giant pet peeve of yours with Gideon the Ninth fanart is when they portray Gideon with a longsword (or worse yet a fucking arming sword) instead of the greatsword she clearly is trained for? Or are you normal?

#ill accept rapier fanart cuz yknow. plot #tamsym literally acknowledges a friend trained in zweihander technique in the book y'all #gideon uses a fucking zwei and i will die on this hill #i saw art of her wield a shortsword in two hands and started going feral #it was really pretty art otherwise but my sword lesbian heart was dying inside #“stop blocking with the blade” hema technique for longsword is more parry focused while greatsword technique is more blocking focused #im normal and fine its fine #bite me #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #gideon nav #tlt #harrow the ninth
