i see a lot of people saying this or that could kill a medieval peasant or a victorian child, and i feel we need to make an important distinction: medieval peasants watched executions for fun, and had absolutely no spices for their food. victorian children were very sheltered, and had cocaine and opium in every single medicine. a sour skittle could kill a medieval peasant. kin discourse could kill a victorian child.

#edit: i am aware victorian children died of factories and that medieval peasants had herbs. please stop telling me that #original tags:#likewise an execution would take a toll on you like as not as would a nice opium cocaine turpentine cough syrup and horse gargle #i’m not certain my history is right there but i’m sick of people saying lacroix could kill a victorian child like no #victorian medicine could kill a modern tumblr user #bc it was fuckin bad for you #but #anyway yeah medieval peasants saw some shit nov 5th would be easily handled
