I know I am only having a Bachlor or Arts in History, specificall history of germany. On the other hand- whenever I see a medieval character (especially early medieval age in europe) WEARING FUCKING KNEEHIGH BOOTS, I AM READY TO BITEMY FUCKING LAPTOP

BIRCHBARK; GRASS; WOOD;BONES; WOOL; LINEN; HORN; ROSETHORNRANKS- ALL FREE GAME! GO FOR IT! BUT FUCKIN LEATHER?!?! WHO WOULD USE THAT MUCH LEATHER FOR BOOTS INSTEAD OF A PROPER BAG?!?!?!?!?

#LET ALONE CHARACTERS WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO BE VIKINGS?!?!?! RE OU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?!?!?!#UNLESS THAT MUSE IS A RUS AND SPCIFICALL FROM AROUND NOWGOROD AS A RICH TRADINGCENTER #THOS SHOES ARE EITHER ANKLEHEIGH OR SANDALLIKE WITH THICK SOCKS #LEATHER WAS EXPENSIVE #ESPECIALL WHEN THE PERSON IS NOT ROM THE COLDER REGIONS AND FROM THE FASHIONSENSE FROM AROUND NOWGOROD #its of course mostly a question of fashion #it was more liked to show off the pretty trousers / leggings / leglings than high shoes #but also leather was not as common as a material #wood bone roseranks birchbark cloth yes. but a big piece of leather for shoes let alone boots would costs some good money #those strange series like game of thrones and vikings just makes me cringe #I know got is fantasy but everyone says its 'realistic fantasy' and Iam sitting there like : AINT REALISTI WITH THOSE BOOTS #ooc #delete later for oocness #sorry #I swer I am a normal person with normal interests
