Pastacat: IDK where the rest of you fuckers are gonna be when the Civil War starts, but I'm seriously thinking about linking up with @lissaharris.bsky.social to do some John Brown shit with broadswords.

*longswords 😝

Let's start with the fun part: I have never actually done a deep dive into the typology of the actual swords he and his sons used to murk those guys.

Like, in all the accounts I've read they're simply referred to as 'broadswords', but now I'm genuinely curious.

I actually don’t know what kind of sword John Brown had but everyone wants to call my sword (two-handed, long hilt, big fuckoff pommel) a broadsword (one-handed basket hilt Scottish thing)

As long as it slides cleanly through homophobe guts, it'll do the job!
