I've been poking away at this one for a few weeks now but I finally put in the effort to finish it off.

If this looks like a skin you'd like to try, you can find it on my github.

His contemporary equals in professional position are homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic, assholes... And he is not.

I've been watching the world become infatuated with his sillyness and charming behaviour as well as his somewhat unorthodox approach to how he plays and I have been waiting to find out what is wrong with him.

I'm not saying he's faultless but so far he seems like a genuinely decent person.

He shows kindness to the ball boys, he's in love with his wife and she speaks highly of him in ways that show that, and this... This suggests he's not an asshole about trans people... In a world where being an asshole about trans people is disgustingly common.

I have not yet seen any racism associated with him so I can't speak to that but this is kinda a big deal.

AAAAAHHHH JUST BINGED ALLLL OF PANTHEON IN ONE NIGHT NO SLEEP NO REGRETS THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING

WHY IS THIS SHOW NOT AS POPULAR

some fanart that got messed up but I kind of like the look of it

Are you a younger reader, or maybe a sex-repulsed asexual? Or maybe you're just not into all the really sexual sort of fanfictions. I have a CSS code you can add to your Site Skins on AO3! Simply copy this into the CSS box and you will find your browsing undisturbed by Explicit, Mature, and even the Not Rated, and Chose Not to Warn fanfictions (which can be untagged entirely!)

.blurb:has(span.rating-explicit) { display: none !important; } .blurb:has(span.rating-mature) { display: none !important; } .blurb:has(span.rating-notrated) { display: none !important; } .blurb:has(a[href*="/tags/Choose%20Not%20To%20Use%20Archive%20Warnings/works" i]):before { content: "Restricted Work"; color: #ffffff !important; background-color: #860111; } .blurb:has(a[href*="/tags/Choose%20Not%20To%20Use%20Archive%20Warnings/works" i]) > * { display: none !important; } .blurb:has(a[href*="/tags/Rape*s*Non-Con/works" i]):before { content: "Restricted Work"; color: #ffffff !important; background-color: #860111; } .blurb:has(a[href*="/tags/Rape*s*Non-Con/works" i]) > * { display: none !important; } .blurb:has(a[href*="/tags/Underage%20Sex/works" i]):before { content: "Restricted Work"; color: #ffffff !important; background-color: #860111; } .blurb:has(a[href*="/tags/Underage%20Sex/works" i]) > * { display: none !important; }

That type of bevor seen in the first picture wouldn't usually go with an armet-style helmet, but rather with a helmet without its own built-in neck protection, such as (what is neologically called) a sallet or kettle helm.

If you wanted to get more neck protection out of an armet, you'd use what is usually called a "wrapper plate" which is kind of similar to a bevor but shaped to fit armets.

Arming jackets/doublets (usually also called gambesons - the thing about the Middle Ages is that they didn't actually have a lot of standardized words for things at all and many words we use today to refer to specific pieces of equipment are either completely new, or they refer to something specific today but a medieval person would have used the same word to refer to many different things) have strings all over them not just to keep them tied together but because that's how you attach the plate armor to the body. Their padding also not only acts as padding, but also offers some basic resistance to blades in the event that a blade gets between the plates and through the maille (chainmail) armor that usually fills the gaps between the plates. There is almost no chance at all of a blade penetrating the plates themselves.

Bigger thicker gambesons were worn as a form of armor themselves for poorer soldiers who couldn't afford anything better. They are surprisingly cut-resistant and cushion the body against blunt force as well. Stabbing weapons will go straight through them, but even then it's better to have it than not, because if you're wearing 2 inches of padding and get stabbed by a 5-inch blade in the heat of battle when everyone is constantly moving around and your opponent has no time (or desire) to drive it all the way in, that's only 3 inches deep into your actual flesh instead of 5.

Oh one tip I will give that technically is a correction is that that belt in the bottom-left picture is anachronistic. It's hard to describe how 15th century belts buckle but it usually looks something like this.

The tarantula that bit JRR Tolkien as a child.

He swore he didn’t have a spider phobia and the experience had nothing to do with the man-eating giant spiders in The Hobbit, the even more giant and even more man-eating spider in Lord of the Rings, or the unholy eldritch spider from outside creation that plunged the world into darkness and made literal Satan scream like a little kid in the Silmarillion. Very few people believe him.
