Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THAT’S what causes consumption, they’d be like “ah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guests”

But if you told a Medieval person this they would probably go "Ah, so when the miasma settles on surfaces it gains evil life. I understand."

Yeah, actually, it would probably be pretty easy to explain germ theory to a Medieval person as tiny evil spirits that live on everything, but they can be purified by soap and water, or by alcohol, because that is why God has granted us those things. And because they can float in the air, if you cough or sneeze after they have infested you, that can cause them to infest others. And when you are sick, the angels God has deputized to defend the bodies of His beloved children are at war with the evil spirits, and, sadly, sometimes they lose, but the best way to help your angels win their battle is to rest, drink plenty (this would probably be small beer in this time period, not water, because the water was also infested), stay clean, and for the sake of God do not allow anyone to let your blood, for the angels need that blood in their war against the evil spirits. Bloodletting is good for some types of illnesses but not the kinds caused by the tiny evil spirits.

Is there any masculine haircut that looks good on straight, flat hair? Cuts that work well on curly hair look bad on straight hair because the texture doesn't support it, and cuts that are specifically designed to work with straight hair are evidently all either ugly, high-maintenance, or both.

Shit like this is exactly what I mean by "haircuts for straight hair look bad because they're ugly".

my guy models as a side gig when he’s not plowing the fields for his lord

The lord makes him keep his hair like that to keep him from plowing the lord's wife also.

NooOOO

does anyone else have a partner that has to do little tasks or he will explode?

Pikmin from the Pikmin’s pov is incredibly funny. Imagine you’re in a small group of people in the woods and you’re on the verge of starvation when all of a sudden Bigfoot comes out of the trees and gives you food in exchange for helping him collect some giant scrap in the woods. He can speak a couple of words like “follow me” and “get that”, but otherwise he’s incomprehensible and his main way of keeping you safe from predators is either by throwing you at them or beating the shit out of them with his bare hands. It’s a really weird situation for all of you but hey you’re getting fed and at least it’ll make for a really entertaining story if anyone believes you. You help Bigfoot rebuild his giant house that can fly, and once you’ve gotten all of his pieces he waves goodbye and leaves in said giant house. You assume he’s gone forever, and move on with your life with fond memories of your brief time under Bigfoot’s leadership. A couple days later, he comes back. You know who’s with him? Another Bigfoot. I’d lose my mind.
