Ronin Katana – Hand and a Half Bastard Sword #15

This late Medieval bastard sword from Ronin Katana has a tempered and sharp blade forged from 1075 high carbon steel with hollow ground blade geometry. The stiff blade will cut and thrust with authority and decisiveness. The guard and pommel are crafted from stainless steel and the grip is wood which is tightly bound in leather. The blade is mounted into the hilt with a peen over the pommel for a tough and lasting construction. The sword is paired with a wood-core scabbard which is overlaid in faux leather and fitted with stainless steel chape and locket. A simple sword belt and frog of faux leather is included.

Please Note: The sword scabbard with its buckles is arranged for wearing on the right hip for a left hand draw.

Jonsa fans write 1000+ post of all the foreshadowing of Jonsa.

Jon and Sansa are structured in the story as the romantic leads respectively. Even Sansa antis have admitted the extreme parallels between Jon and “Alayne”. Jon Snow literally has dreams about burning people and thinks it's the most vile thing possible. Sansa wished/prayed for a strong knight to kill Janos Slynt, and Jon’s the one to do it. Jon dies trying to save who he thinks is Arya Stark.

No I don't care about your wolf howl, your blue rose or your Targaryen restoration.

gog i still can't get over minish cap vaati's Everything. He is So Fucking Stupid (affectionate)

Like. This guy's establishing character moment is, in order:

he's introduced as having won an entire tournament to get to touch a magic chest and get a cool sword, which was the prize for said tournament

turns around and does a goddamn evil soliloquy TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE GUARDS who were about to hand him his macguffin on a platter

(like this man fucks up his own horribly planned daylight heist because he cannot keep a lid on the dramatics for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES, IN PUBLIC)

(THE BAR WAS ON THE FLOOR VAATI, FUCKING GANONDORF PLAYS THE PIPE ORGAN FOR HIS OWN BOSS INTRO AND HE STILL KNOWS BETTER THAN THIS SHIT)

proceeds to fight the guards (it is, admittedly, a curbstomp for him, but it still clearly wasn't his plan, because otherwise why bother with the tournament)

gloats evilly

opens chest, unleashing a whole bunch of monsters

exposits out loud about Zelda's powers like a nerd while she is actively charging up her magic powers to kick his ass

RECOGNIZES and IDENTIFIES said magic as the special power carried by the female royal line

completely fails to recognize it as the light force he is currently trying to get his hands on (he spends like 99% of the game not figuring this out.)

petrifies her

(i have no idea if link could have deflected this spell if he had managed to get the right angle with his shield but i like to think somewhere there is a very short and very funny alternate timeline where it happens)

(more importantly: no part of vaati's original presumed plan would have involved doing this. he 100% created this situation for himself by being an dramatic idiot and picking a fight for no good reason.)

looks in the chest

there's no light force

considering his stated goals he might be as confused as you are about the monsters tbh

uhhh

evil laugh

teleports the fuck out

He then proceeds to spend the rest of the game trying to figure out where the light force is and ends up having to wait for Ezlo and Link to figure it out first because he was, as far as I can tell, GENUINELY stuck on this part. He fucking kidnaps and impersonates the King, not for access to Zelda, but to… send guards to go look for the Light Force, presumably because he was either running out of ideas or genuinely thought that would work.

None of the guards even had any idea what he was talking about. He's not even good at impersonating the King. He's already sent like twenty people to the dungeon by the time you get there and it hasn't even been a week. Somehow the game spins this as a cunning plan and clever manipulation or something.

(Meanwhile the guards are just. Poking around in random bushes and shit hoping to find the light force. One of them asks you what you think it might look like.)

Zelda is literally right next to the throne and Vaati does not figure it out until you find an actual honest-to-goodness LORE TABLET spelling out that the Light Force is Stored in the Zelda, at which point he's like "ahahaha you've done my work for me this was definitely my plan all along" and takes over the castle and throws a bunch of monsters at you to stall for time while he figures out how to extract the force from her. Somehow he still doesn't think to actually lock the fucking door.

Crocomom AU where after years of arguing with young Luffy, Garp comes up with a compromise: Luffy can be a pirate only if he aims to become a Warlord of the Sea. So, Garp is like “Well if you’re going to be a Warlord you’re going to have to do it by climbing the ranks so I’m putting you with the only one of them I think could do right by you: Sir Crocodile.” And that’s how Mister 0.5 joins Baroque Works.

TL;DR (or TL;DW is more accurate) A member of Post-Purchase Support deals with a customer who bought an enchanted sword and knows nothing about it.

Correction: who knows NOT A THING about it. How extensive is this lack of knowledge?

NTL; Click to W.

Even funnier, taking offence at the term "bastard sword" is something I once heard for real. I've even seen it in censored form: "b*****d sword", and then of course there's Sky-TV's episode listing for "Game of Thrones":

*****

"Bastard", though it CAN be an insult, isn't a swear-word but a perfectly legitimate description and was even an honourable title.

This gentleman, shown alongside his coat of arms, is Antoine, le Grand Bâtard de Bourgogne...

That translates to Anthony, the Great Bastard of Burgundy, a member of The Order of the Golden Fleece, fully recognised by his father Duke Phillip and with the right to carry the Ducal arms differenced with a bend sinister.

"Great" just means he was the most senior of the Duke's illegitimate offspring.

The modern circle-and-bar "prohibited" symbol is similar to bend sinister, though its bar is a bend dexter - top right to bottom left - perhaps to avoid confusion with with the diacritical mark used by some Scandinavian languages.

However I would NOT like to be the Support staffer trying to explain any of this to a dingbat customer... :-P

Pre-Owned Jesse Belsky Custom Prince Caspian Sword

Blade: Minor cosmetic blemishing (scuffs, scratches)

Hilt: Minor / Moderate cosmetic blemishing – scuffs, small scratches, light pitting

Construction: All components are still sturdily affixed

This sword was inspired by Prince Caspian’s sword from the Chronicles of Narnia film of the same name. It’s a true bastard sword, wieldable with one hand, but with room on the grip for a second. There’s even a short ricasso to accommodate rapier-style grip.

The 33” long blade is a modified Tinker/Hanwei Sharp Bastard Sword blade. The guard and pommel are etched steel, and the grip is PETG covered in antiqued brass wire. The hilt secures with a 6mm pommel nut.

I haven't posted in a while, but lately I haven't much time for drawing. So I stole my Targaryen Prince Jon from my previous fanart and dressed him up in his canon look 😅 So here is…

Jon Snow, the Bastard of Winterfell ⚔️ 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.

Who do you ship Jon Snow with? ❤️
