Lazy Day

Day 2 - Cultures @tolkienfashionweek┃Noldor, Himlad's court

❝Though black was the favoured colour at the Himlad's court, she chose to don herself in reds and purples on occasion, as they were her personal favourites.❞

Day 10 - Across the Ages @tolkienfashionweek┃Years of the Lamps & Years of the Trees & First Age of the Sun

❝A marriage of soft fabrics and hard metal, both of fine quality, of exquisite detials. The pieces, seemingly from two contrasting worlds, of wild hunt and of courtly culture. And yet---- In many ways, they were different; in more, the same. She belonged in both; and in neither. Always walking the line inbetween. An outsider. And outlier. Unafraid to make a statement. Longing to stitch a place for herself.❞

but

pet peeve is that so. so many magic reveal fics. which i do adore. agree that arthur has the right? basically? to be angry and feel betrayed that merlin never told him. that merlin didn't trust him enough. when really like. idk bro. why would he? how often did arthur continue to rail against magic and say it's all evil and the only "concession" he gave after becoming king was like not pursuing the druids and going out of his way to continue persecuting magic users as harshly as his father. he didn't exactly give any reason for merlin to believe that it was safe to come forward???

This 1000 year old Katana looks as good as it did the day it was made. [3746x3024]

This is Mikazuki. The Crescent Moon blade.

This sword was crafted by Sanj(y)o Munechika and is older than 1000 years. (The Smith’s oldest signed work is from 987).

There are only 5 of the smith’s pieces remaining and this one exhibits one of the first times in history that the Japanese sword takes on it’s utilitarian curved shape.

This sword was owned by a laundry list of important historical figures including Oda Nobunaga’s general Toyotomi Hideyoshi who unified Japan.

You are essentially looking at a Japanese Excalibur.
