Every day we stray further from Halone

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

both of them are me

Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses

King of the eagles shows up later. He can talk. Horse king couldn't talk.

He didn't want to talk to you.

He just doesn’t do much about his administrative duties

But he didn't need to - his rule was stable, after all.

"You can't ship those characters because they have a problematic height gap" well, strictly speaking we can't ship one of them. The other is well within the size and weight limits of most domestic parcel couriers.

Like to charge, reblog to cast?

i know they do the legwork every time (to varying degrees of efficacy) but it's really funny how every time ffxiv introduces another ascian they come prepackaged with an attempt to explain why they were completely uninvolved in everything up to this point. and so far it seems the usual answers are either "i hated my boss and hid in the bathroom" or "i was busy fucking around"
