just here for the fun

a palimpsest of the brainrots that overcame my poor brain from 2015 to present - with a hiatus from 2016/2017 to late 2022 - and something more

one of the (many) issues with late-stage capitalism is that there is no counterculture anymore, no true underground, or at least true counter culture and the underground no longer have any influence. your punk friend's anarchy patch was made in the same factory and your elderly neighbor's don't tread on me flag.

and this means that essentially ALL satire or anti-establishment media requires you to suspend your disbelief just to accept it as a product. you have to think "yes, this is produced by the corporate overlords in close company with our corrupt government BUT I mean the actors and writers are still artists! they still mean it!" and yes, that's true! but you have to continually ignore that the anti-corporate satire you are watching is produced by fucking Amazon. and that's hard. for me, anyway!

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.

[penny-anna]

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.

[reddherring777]

me: yeah, so one of your most famous works is actually just that commission of a woman that you kept. Honestly, it's less of the piece itself that lead to its fame and more the mystery surrounding it, so I was hoping you could clear that up the decayed corpse of Leonardo Da Vinci that I resurrected: Hai detto che hanno chiamato una tartaruga che combatte il crimine con il mio nome?
