I used to wear a chainmail shirt to elementary school. The teachers never knew what to do about it because there was no section in our dress code forbidding medieval armor.

… Where does an elementary school child get access to an actual shirt of chainmail sized properly for them?

Growing up as a historical reenactor meant that my parents are friends with lots of people who make chainmail. My godsister received a real rapier in fourth or fifth grade, so our unsupervised outdoor playtime was… formative.

When is it sexist? – A Handy Chart

My favorite moment when playing FFXIV for the first time was seeing the men in the same ridiculous subligars as the women.

In order:

World of Warcraft

Dark Souls

Final Fantasy XIV

Seriously, Dark Souls is so good about this, I accidentally became female and didn’t even know about it until I was changing my gear.

Sorry, that last bit is funny to me because I’m just imagining this knight changing and looking at a pair of breasts like “…Those are new.”

[On Jaime’s gift to Brienne of Tarth] “Jaime wanted to show his regard for Brienne and the best way to do that is to give her something he would like. Jaime isn’t a particularly creative person, so the armor is quite functional.” (x)

The armor in this series is so cool. Beautiful, plain, functional, flashy – there’s something for everyone! I especially like the way they address how armor and movement are related.
