*extreme highpitched voice* holy shit brah - now i have to think about the hornet who sat on my head in a train while i believed it was a wasp xD... 2 days later i found out it was a hornet after seeing a much smaller wasp xD.

It's a wonder that that hornet stayed so calm, I mean, it sat on my head for 20 Minutes on my way home in the train XD!
Ya know, i was eating a lil fruit snack when I all of a sudden saw that huge thing flying towards me. What do i do? walking away from it to look if it would leave me alone. Then all of a sudden i didn't find it anymore. I already had that feeling that it might got onto me, but then I thought: Which thing would actually land on me? Oh how wrong i was. After getting into the train, i noticed after 10 minutes something crawling on my head. In that moment i knew: Oh sh*t that mofo is on my head, isn't it?
Then I asked someone who was sitting in front of me if there was something on my head. He looked at me, and said: "There is a REALLY huge wasp or Hornet on your head"
What did I do? I just laughed awkwardly and stayed as calm as possible. Then this lil sh*t started to crawl on my forehead. I instantly closed my eyes, and luckily that thing went back on my head. And then it went on the trainwall behind me. And now comes the funny part:
Since I thought this lil f*ck*r has earned a reward for staying calm AF, I decided to grab some paper to get it onto it so i could release it out of the train. But this lil sh*thead flew away. So now I chased about 5 minutes this hornet and was all like "GET BACK HERE YOU LIL F*CKTARD!", until i finally got it to move onto the paper. And guess what, it didn't move at all, it just waited the 3 minutes on this paper until we finally went out of the train. And then it flew away after I put it on the ground. That was the nicest goddamn hornet i've ever met.

Yep, on that moment i was thinking all the time: "Oh please don't dare to sting me you lil sh*t"
But afterwards, I really had to laugh about it xD I mean, who has the luck to have a hornet on the head and it stays calm X'D?

I love that design... that waspy design. It just cannot fit any dress.

Well, I know your commissions are open... but I'm afraid that an artist such as you is a little too expensive for me by now.

I bet! I'd never think of wasp themed weapon... even though it IS a name suiting a blade. I admire your creativity.

Looks really cool!

I think the grip (any technical terms?) doesnt look comfortable holding barehanded, unless the wielder wears gloves

AlanSteenhouwer [2015-11-22 05:42:23 +0000 UTC]

Now that is interesting. It's better for penetrating things like chain mail, but it's also still curved, so it's aim is more difficult than say an arming sword.

Wen-M In reply to AlanSteenhouwer [2015-11-22 07:07:32 +0000 UTC]

ah yes, but I guess it would be a matter of practice? XD

AlanSteenhouwer In reply to Wen-M [2015-11-22 17:09:19 +0000 UTC]

Well a samurai would be used to it, but it was far from a primary attack direction. Keep in mind that the katana was an evolution from the tachi, which was so heavily curved you could never stab with it.
