Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses.

Not from some farcical aquatic ceremony

Look, if I were to go around saying I were an emperor just because some moisten bint lobbed a scimater at me, they'd put me away.

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!

...oh what the hell, can't be worse than royal succession

We tried democracy but ended up with Truss and Johnson. I say we try sword-catching again.

I think that was a not-so-subtle dig at constitutional monarchies in general.

Fun fact: Arthur did pull Excalibur out of a stone, but then immediately broke it in a duel. I'm not even joking.
Sotuanduso@lemm.ee · 54 pts · 2y
I thought the sword in the stone and Excalibur were different weapons, and Excalibur was the replacement for when the other sword broke.
RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 2y
Your right, my bad. The sword from the stone was unnamed and it was broken in the duel.

Yeah isn't it some Caliburn and Exalibur. Most of my holy weapon name knowledge comes exclusively from the Fate Series lol.

Are we talking about Andúril, AKA "the flame of the west"?

Fake finding a sword in a lake.
Sell a rusty piece of metal on ebay for £5K

As a Canadian I support having this specific image on our currency and coin

I mean I'm inclined to believe him, but has anyone found the listing of the sword for sale? Did a quick search and found a couple kinda similar-looking ones, but not quite the one she pulled out.
niktemadur@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y
Good for her, I can't think of a better, more wholesome type of internet fame than to be known as "the lady of the lake".
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
Looks like a montante or zweihander.
cashews_win@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 2y
That's what she said!

Wanna come over and polish my zweihandler? 😏

Hey everyone, this guy's only got a Zweihänder!
Hey, when you penetrate the invading Franc with your Zweihänder, does the invading Franc say "Is it in yet?"?
THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch · 11 pts · 2y
Looks like the enchantments have worn out a bit

I'm guessing climate change is the real winner here, bc it's not just a casual dry spell that unearths a 1000 year old sword.

Only parts of GB, to be exact.
Btw, the image quality is a good indicator for how old a meme is.

She would probably be better than Charles, tbh
