Easy… I have a wood working shop at home. I can just trace the sword and carve… Wait a sec.

I do work with a lot of moldable foam. I’ve always kinda figured if I get kicked from the field or get bored I can always build costumes or custom leather kink gear.

I will not be negged into fixing your plate mail.

Sort of a similar situation with me and renfair people. I build and fit people with custom orthopedic braces and prosthetics and have access to a metal and leather lab.

I wouldn’t claim anyone is overly flirtatious, but they do seem to get friendlier and ask a lot of questions about things like hand setting rivets.

Eh, I think the general public cared. However, that doesn’t mean the hardliners or the current government cared a bit. There’s a reason they took steps to cover up the extent of the Hannibal directive on Oct 7th. No matter how ghoulish the public is about Palestinian casualties, they are still intolerant of casualties of their own people.

Yeah… Unfortunately the only thing that the Israeli seemed to really care about in the context of ending the war was the hostages. I was always baffled when there were claims like 60% of Israelis wanted to end the war… Not because of the humanitarian crisis, or that war itself is bad, but because they just wanted the hostages.

I’m interested to see how the Israelis perspective of the war shifts in the next few weeks now that no one has any sort of leverage to barter with.
