We need to talk about “stealth archery”

I’ll take any excuse I can get to remind people that the jarmakee is a real technique!

“There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.”

— Jim Butcher, White Night (via wnq-writers)

Here mark the text and the gloss of the Running-through and of the wrestling on the sword: Run-through, let hang With the pommel. Grip if you will wrestle. Who is Strong against you, Running-through therewith mark.

Gloss: mark the Running-through and the wrestling are of two kinds with the sword. The Running-throughs are the body wrestling, and are then thereafter the arm wrestlings. And they pertain to driving against the fencers that like to run in. […] Yet another body wrestling: Mark, when he runs into your right side and is high with the arms, and you are also, then hold your sword in the right hand with the pommel reversed, and thrust his arms and his sword from you with the hilt, and spring with the left foot in front before both his feet, and drive in with the left arm well behind around his body and grasp him on your left hip, and throw him before you.

From the source, to drills, to competition.

I only found a technique demonstration for the hip throw from the right though, but the principle is much the same.

yeah yeah monsterfuckers but what about humanfuckers. what about the dragon who leaves flower arrangements at the base of the princess’ tower? what about the werewolf who pines for a human to protect? what about a naga who is so so cold and wishes she had a nice warm human to coil around? what then

Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.

There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

-Strapping on my heavy armor- I know all the queer person stereotypes are bards and rogues but SOMEBODY's gotta tank damage around here

[todaluk]

Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.
