[transcript: Hello! Today I will be: rating the fastenings of my armor for their homoerotic potential.
What the fuck am I talking about? Well, if you’ve ever imagined a scene where one character helps another character put on their suit of armor, and those two characters are in love and do wanna have sex, but can’t admit it, this is for you. Let’s go.
The bracer: near the hands, very gay, but fastening it basically means doing a handshake. Not sexy. Four out of ten. The thigh buckle: this one should be sexy, but because it’s on the inside of the thigh, it’s mostly just awkward to get to. Seven out of ten.
Gambeson buckles! It’s basically like having your mom do up your buttons for you. Utterly unsexy. One out of ten. Knee strap: this is what the thigh buckle wants to be, because in order to fix it, they have to be kneeling and they can make eye contact the entire time. The pauldron: so this one might not seem sexy at first, but if you think about it, if their hands are there and their face is there, this person can turn their head casually... and maybe even kiss? Ten out of ten. End transcript.]
