Today was so funny i asked my uni friends what made saint george's story a love story and i loved their slow realization of well... He gave her a rose.... Oh
#this story is taught to us as children as THE love story its THE princess and dragon and knight story#so people dont realize that literally nothing about it makes it a love story???#for the people who havent read any of my previous posts and dont know the story:#there is a village that is terrorized by a dragon and after giving him all its animals they have to start sacrificing people to him#the do a lottery and the princess of the village is the one that has to go. the king wants to do it again but the princess insists and goes#then george who was passing by/had heard of a dragon in those parts (depends on the version) arribes and kills the dragon#and then from the blood of the dead dragon blooms a rose and he picks one and gives it to the princess#the king asks george if he wants to marry the princess but he doesnt want to and he leaves to go kill more dragons#the thing that bothers me most about this story being told as a love story is that it sets a super low standard on what makes a love story?#like no wonder then when two characters interact people are like omg they are so in love#if this guy (a knight!!) gives the girl a rose (also ngl she is probably having an anxiety attack at the very least atm)#and everyone is like see! true love!! we will make that day the lovers day!!#(and they also make it an objectively awesome day tbh)#idk where i was going but i hope you see my point#anyway feliç sant jordi#sant jordi#mine
