Also do you guys really think that paypig post is real? Anyone can edit their PayPal balance via developer tools, I made this fake screenshot a month ago.
Doesn’t hurt to reblog this. Worst that can happen is I don’t get any of that $50000000 bajillion dollars
-flashes a picture of my biweekly paystub- no way it works….
If there is one misconception I see most frequently, more than anything else, it is confusion over what a broadsword is. I have seen the name given to arming swords, Viking swords, longswords, greatswords, spadroons, and pretty much every blade in existence. But what actually is a broadsword?
This is. It’s also known as a basket hilted sword or a Highland sword. You may notice that the blade is, in fact, not at all broad. So where does the name come from?
This is a (remarkably shiny) smallsword. One of its defining features is its incredibly thin blade; it has no cutting edge, and can only be used for thrusting. In 18th century England, this was one of the most popular swords, both for duelling and combat. However, the term smallsword was not in common use. It’s mostly a modern classification. In almost every time period, the dominant sword of the day was simply called a sword. So, you have swords, and then you see the Scots with what is essentially a broad version of the default sword. Hence, broadswords.
In terms of use of either you may wanna check out Military and Classical Sabre for there are various posts on broadsword use as well.*
