Gonna cut his damn feet up wielding it like that.
…also known as the “when all else fails maneuver”.
Well nothing to misconstrue here
“I was just about to lose, and then I stuck my thumb up his arse and gobbled his weenie!”

*Hey, twenty bucks is twenty bucks*
Those are skin colored pants. You can see the crimps (?) around his knees.
The gayest suplex
Just gotta know what’s under that codpiece
Yo bro jus lemme deep throat that longsword
This is what really happened in Bran Stark’s vision from the Tower of Joy flashback
Apparently they’re both being stabbed through the eye.
I thought, “It’s my head or his head!”
Y’know when it says Artifact Porn it was not being literal
Instructions unclear, swallowed the “wrong” sword, not the longsword…
Hmm. Shame, the book used to be available online and now isn’t anymore, so we can’t look up what the text actually says. But it seems to be a tackle.
Works well let me tell ya
I know we all love endless, tiring, endless jokes – but just to confirm, the actual technique here is to drop your sword and tackle the opponent to the floor where you can proceed to stab or bash them to death

Having grown up not far from Augsburg, I must mention that this kind of longsword technique is no longer taught in public today.
“End him rightly!”
What a Heated Rivalry!

Sword tuwa defense. Nice.
The origin of the term “swordsman”.
Heated Rivalry: Renaissance
‘Longsword’ technique indeed.
I guess this is, undeniably, artefact porn.
Heated Rivalry but they’re knights would go crazy
“GIV EM YE OL’ DICK TWIST!”
Kind of like the modern “dick twist”, but with a simple variation.
Were they so poor they were sharing a single outfit? What is going on haha
“Suck them on the purple end?”
“No! I said stick’em with the pointy en..oh bother.”
This technique is called “sword swallowing”. lol
It’s funny how the illustrator switches color schemes to distinguish the two men–beige shirt, green pants, (one) beige shoe; green shirt, beige pants, green shoes–but the one ends up looking shirtless and the other, well, pantsless.
Never let them know your next move.
looks like one of those “that escalated quickly” moments.
