Anyone else find medival English stuff really weird for some reason

Maybe it's cause of the torture and shit. But when I see stuff like Tudors or RuneScape the idea of that time creeps the shit out of me.

There's a line from some novel that Steven Pinker quotes in his book The Better Angels of Our Nature.

"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently over there."

Im into that kind of shit

 

[Zesto]

I love dark fantasy.

Berserk, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Runescape, etc...

Really cool aesthetic.

If you do some thinking you'll realize that things haven't changed much since then and many things are still the same.

 

[Gremlincel]

Nah, I adore it. Probably my favorite aesthetic in the world.

You petty heretic; I shall see you are burned at the stake for this blasphemy. Or perhaps you'd rather hang? Maybe if you're lucky you will simply be sent to the headsman. It's over, heretic!

those times were pretty blackpilled but most likely we'd all be peasants working in the fields for our feudal lord all day. At least we'd probably have wives i guess.

middle east is more aesthetic

Maybe it's cause of the torture and shit.

Fun fact: many things that we associate with the middle ages became much more common during the renaissance and after. This includes so-called "medieval tortures", witch-hunting etc.

 

[fOreVER]

At least back then you would die from real issues. War or plague not inceldom
