Violet’s training was a few years later than Thorn’s and Juniper’s, but the basics haven’t changed.
Violet (flashback): There’s so much historical information in these records! I can’t wait to read the ones on our swords.
Rowan (flashback): Is that really the most exciting thing here?
Broadsword! I knew it! Let’s go see if it’s on file.
Violet: Is that the only one? It’s barely legible.
Rowan: Believe it or not, I’m as disappointed as you are.

Hell yeah, slide for life! Man that was a tough sucker.
So you’re allowed to have facial hair in Ceannic basic training?
Isn’t that a little goatee on Rowan? In the 2nd panel, it’s small. In the 3rd panel, it’s partially blocked by the pommel of Violet’s heartsword. In the 4th, there’s a teeny bit of it in the outline of his chin. I had to look for it, but since I was curious about that same thing (facial hair there?) I did. Of course, I’m still cross-eyed bleary, so…. maybe I’m just seeing what I expect to see. 😀
OH GOOD GRIEF!!!
Glad I put in there about the “cross-eyed bleary” – only, it’s your COMMENT I got wrong, NOT the facial hair!!
Sorry! 😛
Beards were pretty commin in the military untill WWI when soldiers had to shave so that theur gas masks would form a tight seal on the face thats when it became SOP to be clean shaved
It strips like this that make me ship these two
I think every good friendship is going to inspire a few shippers! It’s a sign that the closeness between the characters feels genuine.
…I feel like it’s a good thing Rowan couldn’t make it.
“Every schoolchild should know we were eight months into the fourth war by this point.”
“That story comes from a Sönheic joke book!”
“He had two husbands by the time they met.”
“This happened after practically the entire play!”
“See, here they’re consolidating characters…”
“This should all be after the ratification.”
“Here, this is actually a common misconception – Palenti didn’t actually go to this extreme until…”
Oh man that’d so be me – “all this hard work will be worth it when I can nerd out over the data”
What personality represents broadswords again? It’s amazing that there is only ONE record of a broadsword in history.
I think it’s “only one record of this particular broadsword.” They probably did something like a reverse image search of Violet’s and compared the shape of the blade, the decoration on the hilt, etc etc
Exactly right!
Broadsword wielders are noble-hearted idealists who tend to be optimists
Suddenly, I’m wanting to see an AU with the Tick with a spoon heart weapon.
Sure, it’s blunt, but he has the strength to make it draw blood. And he wouldn’t cut someone with it if it was sharp anyway…
Sharpness of heartweapons doesn’t seem to be related to how they LOOK.
Overkill’s heartsword is a gun.
I’ve never seen an episode of The Tick and I cracked up anyway. Well done.
Wait, is the way she’s drawing it in the third panel so the blade is horizontal, perpendicular to the scar?
Although, I’d assume she doesn’t have the scar yet as iirc it takes repeated drawings of a heartsword to get the scar, I also assume the scars are vertical as the blades are vertical when drawn.
