2/21. video and text.

[grimdeity]

[ first is a video of two cats (one large normal and black, the other small four-eyed and black) playing with yarn attached between two plain, black knitting needles, without commentary. ]

Now that I have your attention, let's discuss unusual weapons.
Such as the above knitting needles you see. Yes, I do believe they were my "past self" (or whatever)'s choice of weapon.
Consider me the High Grandmaster of needle-fu, which is clearly a real thing.
If you wonder what one could do with knitting needles, for the record, I imagine stabbing or strangling with yarn would be the most obvious possibilities.
Or knitting killer sweaters. So cozy you die.

Tell me what unusual weapons your "past selves" (or whatevers) used.

A scythe that turns into a book, or a book that turns into a scythe. Take your pick.

well i mean
ive been fighting with a giant key for the last six months
so theres that

[nachetanya]

Honestly, that really has mine beat. I've got a small sword that I think doubles as a conductor's baton.

[fiddlestick]

I have a staff that shoots magic bubbles and can shrink down to be a violin.

other me uses an anchor. now i do too. not her anchor, but AN anchor.

its bad ass.

[invocate]

She uses a pair of semi-magical armored boots.

I don't know what weapon I had in the past, but the fact you're using knitting needles sounds pretty serious.

I feel like there's more stabbing involved than knitting.

[ ooh, colored text. should she match? ...she usually only does it with dave, so she'll hold off on it here. even if this is his twin sister. ]

a book.
granted, it summons creatures, but a book nonetheless
it's quite weighty, so i'm certain it could be used for smacking people as well...
knitting needles are quite an interesting weapon of choice however
almost like the sort of novelty things one would glamour one's weapon with rather than actually use

[adoringpast]

don't you think yarn breaks too easily though

[ fellow knitter here, hello...... ]

[loudmouths]

[ welp. that sure is a thing. ]

ehhhh? that's probably the weirdest one i've seen so far. what makes you think they were weapons of yours? maybe you were just super intense about knitting and sewing and junk

[ohrlyeh]

tentacles i think

[..........yep]

I don't have enough memories from my "previous life" yet to comment on what kind of weapons might've been involved. But I did have an old army mate who could use just about anything in a fight.
Not during the war, mind! We were both in the Air Force. But he was absolutely deadly in a bar fight. You wouldn't think a curly straw could be quite so dangerous.
