    autisticexpression:

    Hollywood has no concept of what 5th century Romans looked like. If I’m watching a movie about the final days of the Western Roman Empire, I should be seeing zero togas. It’s like if you made a movie about the Trump administration, you wouldn’t have people dressed like the founding fathers. That’s how wrong it is.

    This is what 5th century Romans looked like:

    I think the problem is that pop culture has this theme park version of history that treats time periods like distinct worlds with no fluidity between them. In Roman Times, people dressed like this vs Medieval Times when people dressed like that. But that is obviously not how time works. The end of the Western Roman Empire led directly into and overlapped with the Middle Ages, and the aesthetics we associate with medieval Europe were already long established.

    On a related note, the “barbarians” didn’t dress like you think they did either. Less of this:

    More of this:

    Again, the end of the Western Roman Empire was the beginning of medieval Europe, and it already looked like it.

    The notable exception was the Franks, who apparently really did dress like that:

    There really is an exception to everything, and it’s usually the French.

    “You can’t be a lurker on tumblr.” Yes, you absolutely can. I’ve been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven’t interacted with anyone in years.

    Which orc partner?

    The carpenter. Roughened hands and sweaty brow. Kicks off boots in the door.

    The baker. Strong hands and sweet scents. Early mornings.

    The warrior. Strong and loyal. Chipped metal everywhere.

    The guard. Silent and steadfast. Random gifts from the royals.

    The rehabilitated. Wild and unpredictable. Extremely protective.

    The miner. Broad shoulders and brave. Constantly trail of dirt.

    The wanderer. Amazing spirit & tall tales. Their heart is always with you

    The fact that this joke is from the very first episode (which aired in January 1997) is messing with me.

    Kinda crazy how my first cellphone didn’t have a camera or internet and 17 years later this thing knows more about me than I do and gives people brand new mental ilnesses.

    my parents: “We bought you a cellphone so you can contact us if your bike gets a flat tire on your way to school!”

    There’s something so inherently mystical about swimming to the bottom of a pool to retrieve something. Just gracefully swooping down with a purpose and puttering to the quiet bottom. I mean, yeah, I’m probably retreaving a lost toe ring or one of those soggy water ball things, but damn if I don’t feel like a mermaid princess searching for hidden treasure.

    When you’re doing laundry or changing bed sheets, and the sun is in the right place to illuminate all the lint particles that are flying around… our lungs must be absolutely full of little bits of the fabrics around us
