"I am the maker of heaven, and I have made to be hidden the two gods of the horizon, and I have placed the souls of the gods within them. I am the Being who openeth his eyes and the light cometh; I am the Being who shutteth his eyes and there is darkness."

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

If you have to insult me, the word you want is pretentious, not performative, performative implies this is an act, when it is anything but, I am a very genuine person, I'm also just an asshole

You’re allowed to lol at the incel, but it’s a cool snapshot of tools common to this era. Super neat for reconstruction, dating artifacts, mapping out the development of tech and concepts, etc etc.

You see this with terms like “harrowing” originating with the farmer’s harrow, or in references to various fibercraft tools. It’s like, historical reference material in the format of Intrusive Thoughts of Harm.

Does anyone have a translation / list? I’m especially curious about the device second from upper left, and the one lower right.

Two tools that I recognize, which might not be general knowledge:

Below the heart pierced by an arrow, that’s absolutely a wicker woven eel trap.

And below that is a wrought-iron grill, primitive precursor to the modern barbecue.

Here’s the transcription from the museum’s website:

Second from upper left: Solt sy mir nit wol gefallen. Die mein hercz hat in einer meusfallen = Shall I not admire her, she who has my heart in a mousetrap.

It’s a mousetrap!

The one on the lower right: Ich wil ir siette trew loben. Dy mein hercz hat in ainem cloben = I shall pledge my allegiance to her, she who has my heart in a vice.

I had to look up the German word, too, apparently it’s a small vice for woodworking!

(Also please don’t misunderstand any incel jokes in the vicinity of this post; the whole concept of courtly love and Minne is far, far more complex than just “dude complaining that girl doesn’t want him.” Actually it’s been understood as purely literary fiction which [I am being forcibly removed from the premises])
