Oh you're writing a gay smut fic with a fantasy setting? Don't forget to give one of your characters a
It’s not that mysterious though.
Anyone carrying a bladed weapon carried oil. (More on that in a sec) Oil is what you use to clean and condition steel, especially, since water will rust it.
Many people in the Middle Ages used scented oils for their skin and hair from noblemen to lowly serfs.
Oil was incredibly abundant and quite cheap. The TYPE of oil however does matter in this.
Sheep oil (rendered from their fat) was very common and used for all manner of things from making soap to treating skin conditions. Rendered sheep fat has a very light texture and is a decent carrier oil without too pungent of a scent. Unfortunately it did rancid fast so it was common to add lots of herbs to it to help preserve it, especially rosemary, borage, marjoram and citron peels. This is how it became a common “perfume” oil used to scent hair skin or clothes. Nearly anyone would have had this handy somewhere.
Rendered pork oil was very common too and was most popular as a cooking oil.
Vegetable oil made from walnuts, almonds and flax seed was by far the most common non-animal oil. Nearly anybody had a bottle of almond or walnut oil in their pantry or on their person. These were by far the most popular oils used for conditioning steel, with walnut oil preferred because its tannins also gave armor a patina that kept it better. Only the absurdly wealthy ever wore polished armor. Everyone else blackened it to make it keep better. Walnut oil is good at doing that.
Walnut oil also works well as a lubricant. People back then DID use sexual lube by the way. No prostitute would be caught dead without it. Their favorite types were walnut and olive oil, though almond oil might be used in a pinch. They also used watered down acacia gum in southern Europe, which was sticky but slick and easy to re-wet.
Olive oil though was THE oil in Europe. It was expensive, comparatively, but obviously people considered it well worth its cost because it was found everywhere south of the Seine and frequently seen in even minor lordly houses or knights quarters much farther north. Considering quite a few people of the time thought it had aphrodisiac qualities when applied as certain way (likely because raw olive oil has a warming effect) I think you can imagine the most common reason it was sought after by men in particular.
Olive oil was also used in medicine and just about any church had some floating around somewhere because it’s conveniently good at treating minor infections and is wonderful for toothaches.
So the mysterious vial of oil isn’t at all mysterious and even if he were carrying it around with the sole intention of using it for sex, that wouldn’t actually be that strange either.
time to waste the last month of 2013 on the internet

the dude that has gone postal
i love them so much it's not even funny anymore
where is all the art that perfectly appeals specifically to my exact tastes and desires and nobody elses
This has been a PSA.
I’m trying not to reblog posts on this blog but I feel that this is important to post here.
on a related note:
And for the people asking “Well if you don’t support it irl then why would you like it in fiction?!” Because when it’s happening irl real people are suffering and dying and that’s horrible and I’d never want that. But when it’s fiction, when no real people are being hurt or killed, it’s interesting to explore the experience, the effects it may have, and to an extent experience the emotions involved without actually having to experience the horrible thing. You explore scary, dangerous things from a safe distance.
rewatched Lilo & Stitch and 1; this movie is still so so good, definitely one of the besterist Disney movies, and 2; uh,,.uuuhhh,.,.,,Captain Gantu he deserves all the love okay i just had to pair him up with an oc.. ▄█▀█●
"But why would you want to imagine, read or write about a relationship that wasn't healthy, good or desirable to you personally?"
I genuinely don't know how to explain the concept of fiction to you.
Not an ask, but I’ve been looking at your art, and dude, your so underrated!!! Like what??!!!
the reason for that is probably because i'm super inactive 😭 if i posted more frequently, i'd definitely get more engagement, but unfortunately i'm just not that big of a social media person when it comes to posting, i guess? (even though i'm in front of my computer 24/7 lmao) also WOAH i never thought i'd ever get an ask here 🛐
@zivazivc drew your babies!! Les is definitely my favorite character from the ex-bandmates, he's got such a unique design, and his personality is...well HE IS A SWEETHEART I LOVE HIM AGGHGHG and i just had to draw Liv as well, because even though we haven't seen much of her yet, she definitely has this sort of mystical charm to her. and her resting-moody-vibe face won't deny the fact that she is also a sweetheart. <3
These OCs are not mine, they belong to @zivazivc. Please go check out Živa's stuff, their art is wonderful 🛐
