OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED
I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT
And at that moment, the foundation of that entire meme became something like this:
THAT EXPLAINS WHY MEN GO DOWN ON ONE KNEE WHEN THEY PROPOSE
Oh they were shot in the knee by an arrow…..BY CUPID.
I knew this tbh, but i have to still laugh that it took people this long to realize this
Plot twist: meme is actually centuries old.
Great realization: the female guards say the line too, which means a bunch of lady Nords have been the ones to get down on one knee and propose
