i hear those warriors from ravenfell have curved beaks.
Curved. Beaks.

jackdaws? i barely know 'em

i find what makes water taste good is mineral content, i’m sure it’s not actually healthy but water that’s been sitting in e.g. a metal watering can can taste incredibly crisp and fresh.

we need prancing lessons in school

you can still have spellcheck without AI, i don’t think i’ve ever had AI-based spellcheck.

Don’t! Be evil.

You can totally find premade viking clothing for purchase but it’ll generally be expensive and not necessarily any good quality.

The nice thing though about premodern commoner clothing is that it’s generally simple enough that you can make it at home, especially with a sewing machine.
Here are some patterns that seem good: https://medievalmusgrave.blog/viking-clothing

I highly recommend making a ruana cloak at least, it’s absolutely trivial to make and very flexible.
All you need is a rectangle of fabric (a blanket works perfectly fine and will be very cozy and hilariously cheap), which you make a cut down the middle of the short side into the middle of the fabric, and then you sew some reinforcement at the end of the cut to prevent it tearing due to strain. If you want to be fancy you can cut out a circle in the middle so it sits a bit more nicely against the neck, and play around with the shape of the outer edges of the cloak.

I find the easiest and most normal-looking way to wear it is to just wrap a belt around the waist, like this:

Then if i need more warmth i can scrunch the fabric up more and basically turn it into a puffy jacket.

Tchaikovsky no

he’s just a lil’ guy

you guys get gifted programs?! For me they just thought a kid spending literally every single recess standing alone was perfectly fine and normal :))

should’ve accused your cousin of secretly being santa

this is why i never save my debit card details, if i want to buy something online i have to fish out the card and punch in all the annoying numbers.

i still don’t understand why people got it into their heads that covid spreads by touch, it was concluded to be airborne really quickly

my mom has been our santa since i was 10, so believing santa is real was really never on the cards

“huh weird, mom went out to get the newspaper at 20:30 on christmas eve, then santa barges in looking suspiciously slim and feminine”

eeeh they’re partly tissue. I definitely wouldn’t call enamel “tissue”, and dentin is borderline.

not #1? wow you classist smh…

But yeah non-nobility premodern european clothing was fucking sweet, they knew how to dress.
I’m personally a massive fan of viking-style commoner clothing, something about all the wool and usage of single-colour layers really appeals to me, and i think it doesn’t look out of place at all nowadays (at least in the colder months).

Nothing is ever colourful in movies set pre-renaissance, everyone looks like a pauper and kings dress in fucking black leather armor…

In reality most people these days would probably be slightly upset by how garish things were back then, everyone LOVED colour! Even the poorest people would probably have access to some shittily dyed red clothing at least, and from there up the social ladder it would just get more riotously colourful until you get to the nobility who dressed like absolute dickheads.
The Witcher 3 is actually a pretty good way to get a basic idea of what the past was like: not accurate to any one period or region (and mostly draws from renaissance-y europe), but if you ignore the fantasy bits it’s generally closer to sensible than not, and certainly vastly better than most modern portrayals…

Here’s some at least reasonably representative images in order of increasing social status, not necessarily from the same places but all from roughly “medieval” times:
