The sword of the day is the chakram.

The chakram is a throwing weapon from the Indian subcontinent, used by Sikhs until the 19th century. It consists of a flat metal ring sharpened along the entire outside edge. Warriors would wear several of them on their arms or stacked on their turbans. In battle, the chakram would be thrown like a frisbee, or sometimes spun on the finger to generate a surprisingly powerful throw. In folklore and legend, one of the earliest references to the chakram is found in the Mahabharata, a 5th century epic, where this weapon is said to be wielded by Vishnu, as well as one of his incarnations, Krishna.

Scorpion – Dark Filipino Ginunting with Sheath

Ginuntings are the official swords of the Philippine Marines. Filipino warriors chose them because they could cut through anything and everything! The Ginunting is easier to use as a utility tool, as jungle bolos for clearing brush, slaughter tools for hunting, chopping small pieces of wood for fire, making it the best weapon to carry. It is common to see a Ginunting along with M16s used for war in the jungles of the Philippines. This short and versatile weapon designed with a downward curving blade makes it the perfect weapon for close encounters. Our heat treated full tang handmade Dark Filipino Ginunting is extremely durable and virtually indestructible.

The blade is crafted from 1095 high carbon steel which has been expertly tempered to a 57 HRc hardness and finished with a darkened blued finish. It is made as robustly as is possible with its blade and tang being made from a single solid piece and is finished with black linen micarta composite grip scales which are solidly riveted directly to the tough blade tang. Included is a leather sheath to complete the sword.

How about a knife which turns anything it kills into dust

Or a two bladed sword like Darth Maul style for some kind of tempel guard or something, where they dont need to move around a lot and can always have the sword unsheathed cause that seams to be the most annoying part, of cource high roof and a lot of space would probably be necessary to move around properly. Though it would probably need to be some kind of straight blade like european longswords rather then a katana sry

K O B O L D K A T A P U L T ! ! !

A bone necklace which makes one of your eyes glow blue if you play the trombone

Or how about a classic: FIRE SWORD

Or counter point: ICE SWORD

OR counter counter point: ELECTRIC/THUNDER SWORD

OR counter counter counter point: FLOATING SWORD

Or, if none of the rest is any good, how about an entire arena full of 78 kittens all cuddling with ME

I sort of have the principles of "knife that turns people into dust" thing built into a certain sword called the Sakurajimaken, an old battle sword hidden in a protected shrine on a secluded temple island that instead of leaving wounds, leaves sakura trails, instead of blood, Cherry Blossoms shoot from the enemy, and if you cut a limb off, it disentigrates into the bloss. too.

Also, the double-bladed sword did in fact exist and is actually suprisingly practical in some situations, and would be an excellent fit for a temple guard. I could see if i couldnt make a curved version, but Asian history is no stranger to a straightsword.

Also, elemental blades can be really cool.. If done well. I'll be working on some concepts there, too.

Also, to compensate you for your ideas, 78 kittens are being shipped to you RIGHT NOW!!!

Okay I’ve noticed that in the tumblr gothic lit fandom discussions about racism (be it in-text or fandom racism) never go too far because if it’s a white person pointing something out (usually something blatant everyone can see) they’re accused of white saviorism and speaking over the people of color who are really affected by that racism- but if those people of color do it and call the racism out, they’re ignored. the only people of color that are listened to are the ones that say “it’s not that bad”, “I’m fine with it”, “I don’t mind it” as if they’re a monolith and other POC aren’t uncomfortable with the fandom’s behavior. and, listen, I don’t know if I -as a white person- am 100% right in this assessment, but it kind of… smells of tokenism?

#doc talks #gothic fiction #gothic literature #I think this is true of all fandoms tho but in this one it is more insidious #because it’s always like #’hey maybe don’t be like these old timey authors we read and fetishize Asian cultures?’ #‘well you’re white so what do you know. anyway this Asian weapon is definitely used for sex things by my white fave’

I plan on including a separate page for his quiver, but also another section with his Halamshiral outfit.

The sword of the day is the panabas.

A blade from the southern Philippines, and the Moro tribes of Mindanao, the panabas was both a weapon and an agricultural implement. It is also known as the nawi, but I prefer the panabas name; it is a shortening of the words “pang-tabas,” meaning “chopping tool” and that is exactly what the panabas does. Blades varied in size, but could get as large as this massive two-handed example seen here. Though primarily used for chopping, there are examples with a point that would have made it an effective thrusting weapon as well.

Thank you to @kathanglangit for helping me write this one! If anyone reading happens to know about weapons, especially African or Chinese weapons, please let me know!

Great Shirotori Armaments

大保護禅術刃 (Large Blade of Zen Protection Tactic)

A sword designed with one purpose in mind: Provide as much protection as possible.

The combat philosophy of the Shirotori focus on the Two Extremes: Full Aggressiveness and Complete Passivity. For a full understanding of this sword, we must look to the second.

Complete Passivity can be broken down into two modes of battle. One is the Body of Zen, the other the Kitsune Gambit. For today, we cover the Body of Zen.

The Body of Zen is simple: Stay (somewhat) rooted where you are and give as little ground as possible, focusing on keeping calm and patient, countering your opponent until you end up strong and are able to strike your opponent, ending the battle.

This sword was designed with that in mind.

It could be considered unwieldy, but only compared to a stock Katana. The guard is not all metal and the blade is large and dense enough to provide a fine enough balance to the blade, however it may prove difficult to carry around, as it does not have a Saya.

However, despite it's flaws, it's hand protection is unparalleled in the Two-Handed Blade field, only sacrificing more flashy tricks, but leaving room for any actual bladework to be done properly. At the front of the handguard and just above the hilt collar we have an area known as the Mountain of Jigoku, which once an enemy's blade is directed to, they are practically defeated.

The bottom of the 4-metal-pin full tang handle holds a small, spearlike blade that can be used if needed in grappling.

The blade is significantly more like a Dao or even a Messer in thickness and width, however the end is still razor-sharp for good follow-through.

This blade was designed by myself, the Young Master of Clan Shirotori, as i fiercely admire the tenets of Body of Zen techniques.

My saturday TTRPG group is going to be playing Legend of the Five Rings, so I decided to use my gposing abilities for good by making my character with them. I've yet to name her but she's in the Unicorn clan from the Utaku family.
