#medieval shenanigans
what quasi-medieval fantasy gets wrong is that it doesn’t make politics stupid enough
it’s all blood and guts this, lust that, scheming wizards and perfidious dukes, blah blah blah
for every character that gets murdered by magic or dragon burps or daggers to the heart there should be two dying of things like “ate too many lampreys” or “was too socially awkward to excuse himself to pee” or like, arresting geese and making them stand trial for being public nuisances
