This sword is one of ten “elegant swords” awarded by the Continental Congress to various officers for meritorious action against the British during the American Revolution. Owing to lack of funds, the swords were not executed until 1785–86. They were made not by an American craftsman but by one of the finest fourbisseurs (sword retailers) in Paris.

The decoration, in part prescribed by Congress, includes the coat of arms of the United States on one side of the grip and an appropriate presentation inscription on the other. This example is inscribed “Congress to Col. Willett, Oct. 11, 1777.” These congressional swords are the first in a long tradition of specially designed presentation swords that would be awarded to America’s military leaders throughtout the next century.

consider that olivier’s right-hand men are a disabled man and a PoC and that she understands and acknowledges the privilege that she, as a white, able-bodied, upper-class person holds, even while simultaneously being discriminated against for being the sole high ranking female military officer in the series

Mai went a long time without knowing about Julie, the girl from Milos. It wasn’t until Her and Alphonse were well within their relationship that Alphonse wanted to go the check on the people over there. Once Julie knew it was Alphonse, she started squealing about how cute his real body was. Mai was cold to her for most of the rest of the trip but Julie and Alphonse were obvious.
