I can also do it this way now, which is somehow so much harder!

Pole dancing is fun and my flexibility is really improving!

And then I had a very different look for the after party!

One of the quick little fights we did while we marched, the crowd were so enthusiastic and kept us motivated to entertain them even as we got reeeeeal tired.

Fighting a tournament in Belgium this weekend in 30 degree heat, won a gold, a silver and a massive beer, so not a bad haul. Included a little section of a semi final against one of my own club members, got a nice head shot in at the end!

✋🛑STOP🛑✋ You are being BOOTED from the skyline! Reskeet with a photo of your 🥾👢BOOTS👢🥾 to continue scrolling. How could I not take advantage of an excuse to share these boots I got a couple of weeks ago?

Today marks 16 years since I had a stroke, caused by a bloodclot on the left base of my brain, it was an odd thing to happen to quite a healthy 22 year old, and I'm very glad that I recovered and have been able to do so many wonderful things, with my body and brain mostly working in harmony since.

Me doing a pose during pole dancing. One hand is held up high, the other is tucked under my knee, my leg is hooked around the pole, my other leg is pointed out straight, away from the pole

An in-progress shot of my first attempt at making a medieval pouch, and my first attempt at embossing leather. Its finished now but I don't have any photos of it. It is all hand-stitched, and I even dyed the leather myself.

Got all Gothed up during the week for a gig (the phenomenal Creeper, if you like the idea of "Horny Dracula Music" you will love them), I didn't get any good photos while I was there, so had to recreate the look while at home, and took the opportunity to wear my new ridiculous heels.

A low angle shot of a man dressed all in black, with knee high high-heeled boots, a skirt and waist coat, his nails are painted black and pink

A (mostly) full length shot of the same outfit, the man stands with his hands clasped behind his back

Same outfit but the waist coat is off, revealing a black lace tank top underneath, one leg is raised up, revealing fishnets

A niche one: Desmond Castle in Newcastle West. Ireland, I used to work there as a guide, not the most impressive now, but it was built just to show off how rich the Fitzgeralds were, they had other castles for defence, this was for parties and had not one but two banqueting halls.

Interior of the banquet hall of Desmond Castle, built in the 14th century, on top of the walls of the castle, so it could be seen from outside, more effort was spent on decorating the windows facing out of the Castle than on those facing the courtyard.
The picture shows reproduction tables and benches, with a selection of medieval pottery spread across the tables. Large wrought iron chandeliers hang from the wooden roof beams.

Still very much a beginner, but super proud to have managed to make this look okay at Pole last week.

Turns out the Blood Pact army I made years ago was a trend setter! great to see the SteG-4 and N22 halftrack finally get rolled out to the Imperial Guard. #warhammer #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

Thanks @snipethesorrow.bsky.social and @wib.bsky.social, now everyone in the gym knows I'm a bad ass. No one messes with a hard-core Fight Wepon fan.

Its sunny out, and that mean only one thing: thirst trap topless longsword practice in the garden with my stupid bane mask on for resistance.

I started doing pole dancing in January, this was 4 weeks into the course, so still suuuper new to it all, but I'm having such a blast doing it!

001

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Week 4 of pole dancing classes, and, even though I messed up the first spin in this, I'm still having a lot of fun and sucking less every time!

010

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Weird, I definitely posted this earlier and then it disappeared. Practicing speed in longsword a while ago, think I'm coming in at a bit of an angle here, I adjusted my form a bit and getting it much more consistently edge-on. Topless because I'm a slut.

People joke about how men are always supposed to be thinking about the Roman Empire, but what I am proposing is that all men, at all times, are up for watching Master and Commander.

Round one of my #longsword final last weekend at the Claregalway Castle Shield. That dude really wanted to cuddle, kept grabbing me and ended up getting a yellow card for it. Didn't do him much good though, still kicked his butt. 14 duels, 14 wins, 2 gold medals! #medieval #buhurt #swords

020

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

This handsome son of a bitch (me) will be fighting in a full contact medieval tournament this weekend in Claregalway Castle. You should all come, I don't care where on the planet you are, come watch. It's totally free so makes good financial sense!

020

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Took a minute to take a couple of nice portraits of our fighters over the weekend, before we got too sweaty.

A man poses in medieval armour he hold an arming sword in his left hand and holds his helmet with his right. He is wearing a red surcoat with yellow trim and the three crown of Munster are visible on his left sleeve, he has a Pride flag attached to his belt

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

And a bit of sparring from yesterday, I usually fight at distance and want to do things differently, so was working on going toe to toe, lots of fun but tiring!

010

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

A very fun weekend of #buhurt training to get competition ready for the #Claregalway Shield at the end of the month. The skipping in armour was just for funsies, but good to know I can.

Brendan Halpin 🏳️‍🌈 @feadpool.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Wanna see knights kick the shit out of each other? 80+ of them will be coming from around the world to fight it out in Claregalway Castle, Co. Galway on 27-28 September. This will be full contact, competitive fighting with world class competitors, and the best bit; it's totally free!

Photo shows two people in medieval armour fighting with longswords, one is wearing a blue surcoat with a yellow trim. Text reads: 27th - 28th September, The Claregalway Castle Shield, Claregalway Castle, Claregalway, Co. Galway, Ireland

Some photos from Cork Pride last Sunday, such a fun day, very exhausting though, marching and fighting in the sun 🥵

Three people in medieval armour wearing lots of rainbow things get very excited about a dog.

Two people in medieval armour, one wearing a bi pride cape, the other a bi pride surcoat square off against eachother in TBD street while a crowd watches on

Lots of people, mostly wearing medieval sl armour, all with lots of rainbows, pose for a group photo, one of the group is lying on the ground and four people are resting a foot on him as if he was defeated

A close up shot of four people in medieval armour, one is wearing a rainbow surcoat, in the background the Pride flag for the Knights of Munster is held aloft.

A round from a fight over in Scotland a couple of weeks ago, up against Julian(in the black, maroon and white) from 1316 Medieval Fight Club, someone I'm always happy to lose to because he makes me work my absolute hardest and smartest, and I know he has to do the same

The Drill Abbot doesn't have a drill because he doesn't drill things, he conducts drills, like a drill sargent. Also he's a tribute to an old Inquisitor model

As an owner of many swords (definitely into Polyarmoury) I can confirm this is true and accurate

Text says:
FINDING A VALENTINE
*difficult & time consuming
* makes you feel vulnerable

BUYING A NEW SWORD
* fast & easy
* you will NOT feel vulnerable
* someone might see you & think "who is the cool person with the sword? I'd like to buy them chicken nuggets in a romantic setting"

A nice quick round of sword and buckler (first to 5 hits, but just for funnsies) from our weekend of fighting

In which I break a sword, good thing I had a spare! Nothing sounds like the TING of doom. #swords #buhurt

Laughter and affectionate violence, it can only have been a weekend of buhurt!

Some silliness from buhurt training with our women's team last weekend.

Yes. Also the post with the horrible slurs is still there!
