#gimme a sword that can slice clean through a leather bound book

[imaginefe]

It's okay Rio, I'm also way too pedantic for my own good. I've done too much research on HEMA and now weapons and armor in fantasy series just piss me off. They're always too big! Why do people believe that European swords were heavy and dull?! We've found evidence of cleanly cut skulls and leg bones, a dull sword can't do that. Ugh I could rant about this for hours.

you know the awful thing... for me at least... is realizing that even if i spend hours upon hours researching everything for realism no one is gonna pay attention to it when theyre readingbut i cant stop..
