New SCA helmet test with a friend. He started getting a bit too into it so I punched him. (Yes I also have a proper SCA bar grill).

A print for an upcoming convention. I learned a lot while doing this! It’s my ladyknight Melissant.

I saw a news article about lady knights jousting in castles around my country and they look so cool, guys. I want to go see them but they’re a little too far away for a scrub with no car. ;_;

Some slightly less silly pics of me with a bow!

Archery has been difficult. I’ve become very comfortable with close combat, and am super happy with my skill level. Archery, though? I’m horrible. To make matters worse, everyone seems to expect me to be automatically good at it, and there’s lots of laughter when I make a bad shot/ obviously have no idea what I’m doing.

It’s getting better every week, but it’s sure been a little bit of humble pie.

Luckily, I have photographer friends who manage to make me look good!

Filmed this one for @bikiniarmorbattledamage. Armstreet steel plate legs. Heavy? Yeah. Impossible to move in? Absolutely not. Girls can totally wear armour. I see a hundred girls run around in armour every week. Maneuverable and sexy ;)

So sometimes I see bros on the internet talk about how women couldn’t have worn armor historically, because it was too heavy for them.

Here is a picture of me wearing armor when I was a nerdy 14-year-old girl who was about 5 feet tall and weighed less than 95 pounds. I sometimes wore it for 6 hours straight in summer heat, and I would run and turn summersaults in it for fun.

And before you start asking: this was authentic full steel plate with a padded arming doublet underneath. It weighed so much that I couldn’t carry the plastic tub it was stored in on my own. It was heavy. But once I was wearing it I just felt like I was being hugged or wrapped up in a really heavy blanket. That’s how armor works. The whole point is that the weight is distributed across your whole body, and your whole body can lift a huge amount. It has nothing to do with how strong you are or how much you can bench.

So if you think women are too weak to wear armor, you are wrong on so many levels. It does not even matter if you believe in your little misogynistic heart that all women are defined by their physical inferiority when compared to men, because you are also just wrong about how armor works. Even skinny teen girls can wear armor just fine. Everyone can wear armor.
