Insane Olympic Opening Ceremony of the Day: What exactly are they planning, you ask? Everything. No really, everything.

The stage was designed by director Danny Boyle, and will include “a village cricket team, 12 horses, 10 chickens, 70 sheep, a model of Glastonbury Tor, two mosh pits, and the largest harmonically tuned bell in the world.”

But the fun doesn’t stop there, because it’s not an Opening Ceremony unless a 40-foot-tall Voldemort does battle with 30 Mary Poppinses.

Per Gawker:

Before 40-foot-Voldemort appears, ‘about 100′ children will be wheeled out on hospital beds to perform a choreographed ‘bed dance,’ which sounds quite sexy but probably is not.

To these one hundredish beds will be added a dozen more ‘giant’ ones, on which will dance/frolic/be such beloved storybook characters as The One Hundred and One Dalmatians’ dog-skinning villain Cruella de Vil.

Apparently this insanity is all just the tip of the iceberg, too. In an attempt to top China’s terrifying show of synchronicity from 2008, the U.K. has thrown every single British thing against the wall in hopes of something sticking.

Yeah, we’ll be watching the hell out of this.

Hell YEAH. Notice no boob cups in the armor. That’s the real fucking deal. (The divot in the cleavage of boob armor is a weak spot and a good hit to it would smash the center of the ribcage.)

Forever reblog women in proper armour.

YES THIS

Hence forever grateful to a lot of the armor in DA

Except that weird leather armor with bare cleavage.

Like why.

this is who merida grows up to be

This is the perfect example of female armour - and yes, in fact, there’s not much difference to male armour at all.

While the armour in here is likely for sports only its design is still far closer to what medieval women would have worn. Not… metal bikinis.

That and one must remember that there is underarmour to be considered. the padding worn underneath armour - there won’t be much curves of the woman’s body left to be seen once she puts on her gear.

Beautiful!

to be fair, armor for males was sometimes made as a sort of ‘replica chest’ as well:

but that was generally done for theatrical effect, such as for gladiators and parade armor, and the practice had pretty much been abandoned by the period depicted above.

it also crosses my mind that a woman who’s done enough strength training to handle the heavy weapons used in that style of fighting is likely to be a lot less curvy than before she did the training.

and i’m just gonna stop before i get sidetracked onto researching female gladiators in ancient rome. i’ll just say it’s an interesting topic. :D

Holy SHIT this is gorgeous. This picture is like what the cover of 90% of my childhood fantasy novel reading list should have been (I love you, Larry Elmore, but boob armor didn’t work for me at 13 and it doesn’t now).

I want this woman to come haul me up on her horse and gallop off to some motherfucking adventures.

GOD CHAZ WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME

Welp, I need a pickup truck for all these boners I suddenly got. 

Make that a U-haul. 

Whoa. The one in the top-right-hand corner with the cropped jacket.

I just.

Unf.
