Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

This is so inaccurate. Those swords are clearly Asian and those women clearly aren't. They don't work in tech either. Lesbians are much better about cultural appropriation and sensible edged weapons in my experience.
No comment on the class character here. Who can still afford Denny's?
Really disappointing portrayal of queer dueling culture. At least they tried.
Miss me with that elitist bullshit. Rural queers can have ritual combat too, and its just as valid.
Not familiar with those books, epee.
I was pretty turned off until you said 'trade negotiations'.
Are the trade negotiations good?
Okay so monarchy is gross, but speaking as someone from a fictional world with refridgeration in it, this is still a concern. I'm very interested in the considerations. Maybe not enough to deal with monarchoslop.
Supply chains and where a good should be processed is often a complex concern with interesting inputs and answers!
I do like infrastructure. I'm not really that into d/s, but I can switch from epee to foil and we can have sex and feed each other antibiotics after I stab you a few times if you want to approximate/deconstruct the kind of duelling.
Pending. Which star trek?
Oh. That's all fine I think. I don't think I've seen any of the movies all the way through.
Won't know til I see em.
That's really what its for; resolving beefs over 17th century equivalents of star trek without killing all the young nobility immediately killed.
Really a matter of arm length.
Is it appropriation when Japan generally loves exporting weebdom? Now, they may be sick of weebs visiting, but selling to them is definitely still what they want to do.
Arguable, but the point about sensible choice of tools and sharkweek's comment about nonsense blade length still stand.
