Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

supapoopa

What a time to be alive.

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

stephendann

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

fromaliminalspace

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

On the seventh day of May in the year of 2016 on hither spot the mighty warrior Ulf hath slain a dragon with his spear.

so yeah, happy birthday to this dragon-slaying event and to it only

I bring sort of a 'peasants of the past were not as debased,uneducated and dirty as a lot of pesudo-medieval fiction makes them out to be but this new wave of attempting to sweep the very real indentured servitude, corporal ownership, poverty and lack of basic human rights under the rug isn't achieving what you think it's achieving' vibe to the party that people don't really like

#taking the 'medieval peasants had more days off than you' out behind the barn and putting it down#literally i promise you don't work more than someone in the middle ages!! you have running water in your house!!

So much of that myth is defining "work" back then the same way we do now, i.e. "work for someone else." Sure, the amount of manual labor you did for your lord may have been on average less than a modern work week, but you'd easily double that in the amount of labor required just to survive on top of that. Animal husbandry, feeding, milking, mucking, hauling, planting, picking, threshing, spinning, boiling, rendering, butchering, pickling, churning, scouring, scrubbing, etc. etc. etc. This is labor that is still unvalued in our modern society, but turned up to 11.

Even when you had specified time off, for festivals and feast days, those don't magically appear out of nowhere either. Watch this if you want an idea of how much labor went into it.

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

Diary of a Redwall Mouse

July 22nd: breakfasted on a lovely array of fresh strawberries and goat’s cheese with honey, oat cakes and barley porridge. For luncheon we feasted on a catch of smoked trout, vegetable stew, and of course a couple of flagons of October Ale

July 23rd: countless deaths
