Let Felicity Fly

The artist Paweł Ponichtera seems to have inexplicably dedicated a massive amount of time and effort to hyper-detailed and hyper-accurate illustrations of chinchillas engaged in historical fencing, many with clear and specific reference to particular historical treatises. So, I give you:

Hans Talhoffer Chinchillas

Harnisfechten Chinchillas

Joachim Meyer Longsword Chinchillas

Fantastical Snail Marginalia Chinchillas

Olympic Epee Chinchillas

Salvator Fabris Rapier-in-the-Nude Chinchillas

Napoleonic Saber Chinchillas

Arabic Shamshir Chinchillas

18th Century Smallsword Chinchillas

I.33 Sword and Buckler Chinchillas

These are great, and many thanks to @slightlydisoriented, @vr-trakowski​ and @ainawgsd​ for bringing them to my attention! (My rep for appreciating swordy stuff and cute stuff in equal measure has evidently spread…) :-D

They’re not just impressive drawings because Paweł Ponichtera is an enviably good artist…

…they’re accurate drawings because - as mentioned on his Facebook page - Paweł Ponichtera is a HEMA practitioner and contestant as well.

Look at the Halbschwert (blade-gripping) and Mordschlag (reversed sword) in the Talhoffer pic, the supinated (knuckles-down) hand position in the I.33 pic, and similar details in all the others.

Here’s the finished version of that WIP sketch: Hans Lecküchner Messer Chinchillas.

At first I thought, “Why chinchillas?”

Then I thought, “Why NOT chinchillas?”

They’re cute, they’re fluffy, and despite (or maybe because of) their Postures of Period Pugnacity, the picture series works really well… :->

is it ever stated whether napoleon’s actually kissed ALL of them? bc i don’t imagine jean or mozart has ever left their rooms long enough to wake napoleon up and get smooched by him 😂 but i decided to include all the residents for the sake of the meme x)

[torrenneedsanewurlaughwhyyyyy]

I feel like any of the residents who showed up after him have gotten kissed, at least. Like some sort of initiation into the mansion.

‘Oh hey, neebie gets to wake Napoleon!’

Whoever the newb is: ‘cant imagine why thats a thing. Sure. Why the heck not—WHAT THE HELL NAPOLEON???”

Ray: At what? Hand-to-hand combat?!

Fenrir: Must be. Luka and Sirius banned guns in the kitchen, remember?
