I'm really loving the [livejournal.com profile] dailyreenactor feed. Photos of reenactments of all sorts of periods and wars (people, props, whole scenes).

Sometimes it's like something straight out of a movie. Almost always the people have such character in their faces. Wait, this fellow has more character!



It's so hard to pick just a few images! Don't judge based on the ones I picked, go to [livejournal.com profile] dailyreenactor and decide for yourself!

On the RP end of things, I've mentioned before how much I love researching things for RP -- an excuse to learn something new! Stuff I'd never have reason to research otherwise. Tonight? Gunshot wounds to the shoulder in archers. Among other things I found, [livejournal.com profile] little_details already had a Gunshot wound to the shoulder? post, which filled details in further.

Even just basic things, like researching the muscles used in archery, was interesting. (PS: Bow side: triceps, deltoid and lats. Drawing side: Trapezius minor and rhomboids.) Yeah, this is all from google, Internet doctors and all, but this isn't for real medical treatment, so I'm fine with it.

Based on the [livejournal.com profile] little_details post, poor Thistle is screwed. However, we're not talking about the real world, so I have to take into account all the magical healing done to him.

It's so amazing how much we don't know. Gun shot to the shoulder, who would otherwise think to research that? It makes me really happy to track down this information, plus it makes me feel better about RPing the results of the injury.
