welp, I guess I have to play that

it's been largely forgotten, but most of the animals depicted in medieval manuscripts were based on racist slurs for various groups (snails= Lombards, I don't remember what the rabbits were), so this game would extremely offensive to a medieval person who followed our current system of ethics

let's hope that all of our current racist stereotypes will be completely unrecognizable in a few hundred years

quote:

According to legend, Charlemagne received an elephant from Harun-al-Rashid, caliph of Baghdad in 797. Camels were known through contacts with nearby Muslim lands (61.219). Edgar of Scotland (r. 1097–1107), perhaps regretting his choice of an appropriate souvenir to bring back from Crusade, presented a camel to the king of Ireland.

Henry I of England (r. 1100–1135), maintained a small zoo, described by the chronicler William of Malmesbury: “Henry . . was extremely fond of the wonders of distant countries, begging with great delight, as I have observed, from foreign kings, lions, leopards, lynxes, or camels—animals which England does not produce. He had a park called Woodstock, in which he used to foster his favourites of this kind.” Nor was this an isolated example: Wenceslas of Bohemia, visiting Paris with his father as a teenager in 1378, asked to see the lions that King Charles V kept (at today’s Porte des Lions). Apes, from exotic lands yet not ferocious, were a favorite subject of late medieval artists, who delighted in showing them busy performing human tasks, engaged in industrious (1990.119.3) or mischievous behavior (52.50).

I read this sort of poo poo and think, god drat, these people were working with so many centuries of precisely imbued meaning and symbols, in so many years of tradition, I can never possibly hope to make anything close to the artwork that they did

And then on the other hand I, through the sheer force of the internet, probably have access to 10,000,000 times more information than they did, and they weren’t that great at drawing either, so gently caress it, maybe I can, why not try

I am happy to see how much you all seem to treasure my artwork, it is a great joy to make it and send it to people who value it.

The book is taking a while, but I hope that it will similarly enshrine c-spam culture and serve as valued reflection of our rich community.

and FYI I threw the sailor block into the ocean, so stop messaging me asking for sailor prints, there will be no more unless the sea vomits it back upon the shore

can confirm, twoday literally threw this into the ocean... BUT...

from what i can tell someone found it on the beach and started doing internet searches and came across a post from twoday mentioning it was lost to the ocean forever, but didn't have an account to mention twoday..., so then searched for sailor and maybe found me on social media due to my connection to remember sailor and asked to get a hold of twoday

There was a similar miracle on the island of Tenerife in the 14th(?) century. The people living there at the time were unfamiliar with Christianity, but debris from a European shipwreck washed ashore, including a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary. The people living on the island took the statue to a cave and began worshiping it as a holy object. About 100 years later the Spanish showed up and tried to conquer the island and convert everyone to Christianity, and were probably super-confused when they were taken to the holy cave so that they could smash the pagan idols, only to find that the islanders were already worshiping the correct statue.
