yeah it whips

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

penny-anna

perhaps a good way to sum up the issue here is:

if you put potatoes in your medieval european style fantasy world people will by and large not find it jarring and accept it as a normal fantasy trope

if you put, say, black people in your medieval european style fantasy world a whole demographic of people will get very angry and accuse you of breaking their immersion

this is in spite of the fact that black people were a lot more common in medieval europe than potatoes.

have we ever considerred the possibility that doug walker is an escaped prototype from the lab where they grew mr. beast

the relationship is actually a little more complicated than many presume. artificial youtubers are typically created in bonded pairs, with their shared psychic field helping them to understand things like Algorithm. beast james is a lot more sensitive than a lot of his kind to Algorithm, but is also psychically more fragile. this sensitivity means he is prone to traumatic fugues when he is reminded of the youtuber gestation facility. doug, however, is incredibly psychically stable - and has taken on a mnemophagic role in order to sustain the dyad. to put it simply, doug remembers it so jimmy doesnt have to
