I posted this as a joke and am cursed with every new addition.
But! I like that many of you have correctly noted that both sets of armor are perfectly serviceable AND have historical context. Geralt’s leather armor isn’t going to hurt him a bit, and the exaggerated muscle sculpturing IS 100% a hilarious designchoice, but it’s also one ancient cultures employed all the time. (Romans in particular loved this shit)
The problem with feminized tiddy armor that hugs each breast isn’t that it’s sexualized, but that it will kill you. Armor cupping each boob and having an indention in the middle of your chest means that any blow to the torso drives the mid-tit indention RIGHT INTO YOUR STERNUM. It’s not decorative, it’s arguably more dangerous than no armor at all. Meanwhile I’m looking at Geralt, and his flexible leather armor has minor intentions and is probably over a base plate, Roman style. He’s not in danger he just wants to be cute.
Both Calenthe and Geralt are fully protected and you’re doing amazing, sweetie.
Nothing will ever be as hilarious to me as discovering from bts interviews that Henry Cavill helped design that armor. That man knows what he’s about.
I think as adults with our own living spaces it’s important to have your friends over periodically for a sleepover. And i mean a real sleepover. Staying up late to watch movies with junkfood and popcorn and then going to bed only to stay up even later talking in the dark and laughing because you’re so exhausted that everything’s funny but you still don’t want to fall asleep.
