The sword of the day is the Kriegsmesser.
The Kriegsmesser was a variety of German Messer sword, and an absolutely massive one at that. A two-handed weapon with a blade anywhere between 2’6” to 3’3”, calling this thing a knife feels ridiculous. And yet, like other Messers, the hilt construction is such that the Holy Roman Empire classified it as such. The name literally translates to “war knife;” appropriate, as this weapon was a dedicated battlefield tool. No one would have kept something like this on them for self-defense. It is a tremendously effective chopping weapon, able to inflict severe cuts and slashes with its lightly curved, single-edged blade.
this was always my most favorite romance trope and i LOVE it on them
thinking about lena having this little habit of touching/holding kara’s face and neck and i mean this in a non sexual intimacy way. wordless or not wordless, just easy, firm touches here and there.
like reaching out and cupping kara’s chin, lena brushing her thumb against kara’s bottom lip for a moment before letting kara go after she’s content with touching and looking.
or at a pub with the superfriends and she’s seated next to kara. placing a hand on the nape of kara’s neck, playing with her hair and giving her little scratches when lena spots a stranger in the corner looking at kara in a ‘she’s cute and i want her number’ way. kara thinks lena’s being affectionate as she does this. lena is, but she can be something else at the same time: a little possessive, too.
or in the morning when kara’s trying to get her tie right. lena moves wordlessly, touches kara’s hand. kara stops fumbling. slowly, so slowly, lena raises her hand until it’s on the side of kara’s neck. just light touches there for a moment, before wrapping it around kara’s throat, snug under her jaw, resting there. her thumb stroking kara’s skin, squeezing firm and gentle. kara’s breath hitches, lips parting. lena only smiles, sweetly and fond, before sliding her hand back down and helping her with the tie.
or kara arriving in the tower with some dirt smudged on her face. she’s just come back from a mission and she’s looking at the whiteboard to get updated with details, arms crossed, standing next to lena. lena lowers her tablet and lifts her hand up. she cups the side of kara’s face, causing kara to pause sharply and look at her. thumbing kara’s cheekbone where the smudged dirt is at, her touches are purposeful. when it’s all wiped off, she gives kara a soft kiss on the cheek and—
lets go of her face. they carry on with their tasks like any other day. there’s nothing weird about the way they move together. kara is welcoming and lena likes to touch. that’s just it.
*Sees a new immortal character, squints eyes* Okay what kills you?
Like are you the “doesn’t age” kind of immortal or the “heals all injuries” kind or the “invulnerable” kind or the “can only be killed by one specific weapon” kind or the “personification of a force and thus unkillable” kind?
Leitmotifs drive me insane, like I hear *repeated melody that has an association with a person, idea, or situation* and I go *tears up the fucking rug like a dog*
I did not write this, but I second it

We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. I lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand , and my other eye was damaged. These were the previous wars until this 2023 war came and destroyed everything from my home and my workplace

i wanna see a piece of media where a character has powers but they don’t save ppl and become a hero. they use it for chores and shit. not a hero or a villain just someone who just happen to have powers
