So was was right; thought that looked like Maine from what I've seen in pictures. But I've never been there, and spent the best time near the ocean a bit north-east of there in Nova Scotia. Newfoundland was very nice, but rather chillier.

You ever looked at a guy being alive and went "absolutely not" ? #art #weapon #swordtober

Five beatsticks.
The first thingie is an arming flail with three heads made of a length of chain and a weight each. It has two discs framing its handle, which is covered in blue leather.
The second thingie is a goedendag, it is made of a rough length of wood roughly the length of a baseball bat, with a flared iron cap topped with a broadhead spear tip.
The third thingie is a large flamberge greatsword, with a wave patterned blade featuring two downward curved parrying hooks and a ricasso partially covered in a leather wrap for handling. The hilt is elaborate in shape with two sets of quillions and a side ring with openwork hearts cut out of them, while the grip itself ends in a heart shaped pommel and is decorated with blue tassels.
The fourth thingy is a poleaxe, with a blued steel head and fittings. It has an axe bit and a cloven hammer head topped with a straight awl point, a languette that extends halfway down the shaft and into a shell motif handguard, and a long heel spike.
The fifth and final thingie is an arming flail, made of two lengths of wood hinged together with iron links and studded with large spikes. The handle is wrapped for most of its length with a leather thong.

A selection of fantasy tiller guns to populate your rpg sessions ! #art #weapon

Five tiller guns; a tiller gun is an early firearm making its appearance in the Late Middle Age. It is simply a barrel fitted onto a wooden pole for handling, before shoulder stocks replaced that layout.
The first gun is the Alchemist's Delight, a long textured bronze tube coiled into a crozier shape, fitted with pipes and valves and decorative grape leaves. The muzzle of it has been tempered into a gradient of reds and purples due to heat.
The second gun is Garmr, a much shorter weapon with a driftwood one-hand grip studded with nails. The barrel is dark cold iron patterned around its length with Norse runes, with the muzzle being the head of a snarling wolf. The whole thing is covered in bright red blood splatter, with the implication that once you've fired your shat you can just as well batter people with it.
The third gun is the Skórzana, it has a very long leather and banded iron barrel fitted onto an unprocessed birch pole. The barrel has a wide axehead attached to it in a style similar to a bardiche.
The fourth gun is Piquerisme, with a wide wooden handle marked with knife marks ending in a short hooked barrel on one side and a swordstaff on the other, both made of gleaming steel. The barrel has a simple serpentine trigger holding a slow match coiled around the handle.
The fith gun is Umirtà, with a large column-shaped brass barrel fitted on a ribbed wooden handle and fitted with sky blue tassels. The barrel ends in a small axe head, and bears the inscription "ANTONIVS CRASSVS 'SALVE' DICIT" which can be translated as "Fat Tony says 'hello' ".

It's clobbering time !! #weapon #art

A mighty selection of five beat sticks. The first is an arming axe with a scalloped bit and generally made of blackened still on a leather wrapped wood handle. The second one is a flanged mace made entirely of blued steel, with a cord wrapped handle bracketed by two small disc guards. The third one is a warhammer with a steel head made up of a long piercing pike on one side and a two-pronged fork-looking hammer on the other. It is held on a wood handle with gilded fittings, and the grip is made of a richly dyed leather. The fourth beat stick is a long pole hammer topped with a spear head, with two curved quillions sprouting off the half way point of the haft which itself is reinforced for most of its length by a languette. Every bit of metal is browned with age and patina as well as featuring the occasional spot of rust. The last one is a Napoleonic sapper axe but medievalised for her pleasure. It features a long axe bit made of polished steel, with a stout spike on the reverse side, mounted on a beefy wooden handle decorated with brass studs and fittings, the later being embossed with lettering.

Dagger ? I hardly know her ! #weapon #art

A spread of five different daggers. First up is more of a knife or seax, with a broken back shape almost like a clip point, and a handle made of wood and antler with brass ferrules.
The second one is a more classic style, aka a tiny sword. It has recurve quillions and a a black leather rainguard with gold trimming.
The third one is a BIG BOI rondelle dagger with a set of thick gilded disc guard and pommel, with a single-edged blade ending in a reverse false edge, and two deep fullers running most of its length.
The fourth one is one of those so called swordbreaker daggers, a Renaissance style dagger with a complex hilt and a blade with deep notches to lock and bind your adversary's sword, which would usually be a rapier and therefore engage with those pretty significantly.
The fifth one is one of those fancy and dubiously functional spring-catch trident parrying dagger, where the blade splits open into prongs to catch incoming blows. This one is made of bronze and the hilt features the face of Medusa, with the quillions and pommel being made of coiled serpents.

All sorta swords ! #weapon #art

Four swords, alike in dignity. The first one which stands for a short sword for the game I've been hired to work on, is a katzbalger. It has a typical figure eight hilt made of two twisted brass quillions each looping on their side before curving down slightly towards the hand. The entire grip is brass and shaped like a flaring tower, with the crenelated battlement serving as the pommel. It makes for a pretty short but secure grip in the hand, which coupled with a short, thick, double fullered and doubled edged blade made it ideal for close quarter combat in the press of pikes.
The second one stands for a 'bastard sword', which I decided to represent with a wide, flat, cut-centric blade with three hairline fullers. It has a long handle and two recurved quillions made of blued steel, but most of the grip and the hilt are covered in a tightly fitted leather rainguard embossed with the letters BfS in blackletter.
The third was supposed to be a two-handed sword, and since I had to draw a large flamberge later on as well I made this one a simpler greatsword, more like a montante. It has a long decently slender blade with a flat spine going halfway down it, that bears some cutouts arranged in a diagonal hatching pattern. This is not historical but I was kind running out of ideas to make these look very different without being too wildly expensive as a generic weapon. The hilt is made of twisted gilt metal with a side ring, with a gilt brass wire grip and a square steel pommel.
The fourth sword stands for a one handed "war sword" so I went for a beefy bladed arming sword, with a wide hollow ground double edged blade tapering down to a sharp point. The hilt is an S figure made of flat steel quillions, the grip is wire, and it sports a large wheel pommel.

That's also why the Austrians put real effort into using air rifles in battle. Too bad the seals and pumps weren't up to snuff.

000

Darsara @darsara.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

yeah; as I understand it, the chief issue was that rifling for roundshot needed to be very tight & was very hard to clean, so reloading after a shot or two literally meant needing a mallet to force the bullet down the barrel until after the battle. Hence Brunswick rifles with their weird bullets

The number of people saying we shouldn't be getting picky because the movie called Odyssey clearly isn't supposed to resemble the story called the Odyssey is really weird; Nolan could have called is something else and even said it was inspired by the Odyssey, & set it somewhere else, but he didn't.

021

Darsara @darsara.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

That would fly better if movies like this were inaccurate in interesting or novel ways that felt deliberate; instead, they consistently just feel they only used the sources as window dressing and brand, didn't care, just said "eh, good enough, no one will care, they'll eat it up whatever we do!"

That map also doesn't show the one that's allegedly in Ottawa, and possibly Toronto; the one in Ontario looks like it's too far north between Barrie & Huntsville. Instead, the Canadian ones seem to York Factory, Umiujaq, Saguenay, Baie Verte & somewhere around the north Bay of Fundy.
