The sword of the day is the haladie.

The haladie is a unique double-ended dagger, used by Indian Rajput warriors as both a stabbing and slicing weapon, though it was likely used more for ceremonial and demonstrative purposes than battlefield combat. Though the origins of the weapon are unclear, it can be found in Syria as well as India. The two blades found on this example are similar to an Indian dagger called a bichuwa, the shape of which is modeled after a scorpion’s sting.

'that is why tonight i'm presenting to congress, for immediate emergency authorization, a bill that designates all off-world born species enemy combatants. we know who you are. we know how to find you. and we will kill every last one of you.'

it's been running on a loop in her head and ever since president ritson made the announcement, udyati's been calling all the other extraterrestrials in her vicinity, making sure they're safe or as safe as they can be, in times like these.

g'iah found her wandering around the uk, near the national art gallery. and the two had been working together - sort of - ever since.

udyati is no stranger to being reduced to her capabilities. to a thing. a weapon to be wielded. something to be of use. she slips back into that mindset and it's as easy as breathing.

"..."

"..."

"for your information - and in my defense, and with all due respect - my rings aren't just rings." udyati channels some of her prana - some of her vital energy, her life force - into them and with a sharp sound, they change into a pair of bichuwa daggers. "i've told you this before."

she does it again and the daggers turn into an urumi. then into a single firangi.

she does it yet again and the daggers turn into a ram-dao. into a khanda. into a talwar. into a pair of bagh nakh - claw-like daggers worn across one's knuckles like knuckledusters.

between one breath and the next, her rings look like rings again and she scowls at her fellow extraterrestrial and swallows the biting words: you guys aren't the only one in the galaxy, you know?!

instead the younger of the two sighs, asking: "don't you have... something? your energy signature is off the charts."

part of her wants to rage and scream. part of her wants to take g'iah by the shoulders and shake her, wants to tell her: you ruined it! you ruined everything! but this isn't on g'iah, nor on her people, and udyati can't rage and scream. can't take g'iah by the shoulders, either.

she's supposed to lead by example and childishness doesn't solve this. violence doesn't solve this, either. (both of those options would be unbecoming for the last dvarapala.)

'that is why tonight i'm presenting to congress, for immediate emergency authorization, a bill that designates all off-world born species enemy combatants. we know who you are. we know how to find you. and we will kill every last one of you.'

besides, an announcement like that has always been a matter of time.

"respectfully, if we're going to diy this, we might as well check out upperstreet hardware next."

"I like weapons," she says simply as she twirls a pen around, throws it in the air and catches it too, "knives and daggers; especially katars and bichuwas, but swords like ram-dao's and talwars and urumi's are cool too."

mike watches her twirl the pen - a habit he has as well, particularly when he's nervous or stuck on an idea. "you lost me at bichu-something," he admits with a small grin. katars he knows. well, on second thought, he knows kataras. but he's not quite sure if it's the same. better to ask. "katars - are they like kataras? or are they something else?" this time, it's him who really can't follow what udyati is telling him. still, he loves the enthusiasm with which she shares her hobby. "can you show me what they are?"

for @desinaturalweek day 1: music or poetry. i might have gotten in my feels and gotten carried away a little bit, but something about the way rabindranath tagore writes about love and faith and destiny feels a lot like cas to me.

image ID, including poem titles, under the cut.

[Image ID: a series of five images, each with a screenshot of a poem by Rabindranath Tagore accompanied by a black-and-white drawing. The first image has the poem The Gardener XXVII, with a drawing of Castiel, a man of South Asian descent, tilting his head and looking concerned. The second is the poem Little of Me, with a drawing of a hand holding an angel blade that takes the form of an ornate bichuwa, a medieval Indian dagger with a curved blade. The third is the poem Gitanjali IV (O you mad, you superbly drunk!...), with a drawing of Castiel sitting at a bar beside Dean, who is a dark silhouette fading into the background, holding a beer bottle. The fourth is the poem My Soul is Alight, with a drawing of Dean and Cas leaning against the Impala, silhouetted against sunrise over a lake. The last image is the poem I asked of Destiny..., with a drawing of Castiel standing in the yoga tree pose silhouetted on top of a mountain, wings outstretched.

#castiel #desinatural #desinaturalweek #spn fanart #supernatural fanart #if u want to talk about / listen to me ramble about why i picked each poem and drawing for paragraphs on end pls hit me up lol #i have so many thoughts and feelings abt this #but hopefully they speak for themselves #tagore writes about love and faith and service as the same thing in a lot of ways #and freedom #and that just hits me right in the gay angel emotions #my art

cat’s eye’s weapons are like the hand, fist, fan section on the wikipedia page for premodern combat weapons (not full guantlets but brass knuckles, tiny knives and claws! some rarely get bladed fans) smaller gems usually just generate one whereas larger ones can generate full set of gloves (bigger cats eyes are like the size of a pearl!), my sona weapon is a bichuwa bagh nakh (the tiger’s claw scorpion knife)

mama

Send “mama” to meet my muse’s mother. || @araethi || accepting.

     “Who are you?” Broken pieces of the language she had learned under unfortunate circumstances. Voice like shards of glass despite the petite woman it stems from-- accusing, paranoid, and for good reason. The last time she had met a fair skinned traveler donning sword and shield, her child had been stolen along with her jewelry, artwork, silver, and sense of peace. Clutching her bichuwa behind her back, hoping that she will not need to use it; practically imploring the other to simply leave her be.

at some point post canon, udyati will figure out that her rings are also capable of transforming into katar daggers and back again. the blade has a h-shaped horizontal hand grip which means that the blade often rests above udyati’s knuckles. and speaking of knuckles: she also figures out that the rings can turn into bagh nakhs and back again. bagh nakh means tiger’s claw and that is exactly what it looks like. it's essentially a pair of brass knuckles. brass knuckles are illegal in the netherlands so she doesn’t bring them out all that often. instead, she sticks to the bichuwa daggers.
