The weirdest James Somerton take that nobody has talked about yet is 'The reason art was so bad in the 80s is because all the good artists were gay and dying of AIDS'.

Alright uninformed rant time. It kind of bugs me that, when studying the Middle Ages, specifically in western Europe, it doesn’t seem to be a pre-requisite that you have to take some kind of “Basics of Mediaeval Catholic Doctrine in Everyday Practise” class. 

Obviously you can’t cover everything- we don’t necessarily need to understand the ins and outs of obscure theological arguments (just as your average mediaeval churchgoer probably didn’t need to), or the inner workings of the Great Schism(s), nor how apparently simple theological disputes could be influenced by political and social factors, and of course the Official Line From The Vatican has changed over the centuries (which is why I’ve seen even modern Catholics getting mixed up about something that happened eight centuries ago). And naturally there are going to be misconceptions no matter how much you try to clarify things for people, and regional/class/temporal variations on how people’s actual everyday beliefs were influenced by the church’s rules. 

But it would help if historians studying the Middle Ages, especially western Christendom, were all given a broadly similar training in a) what the official doctrine was at various points on certain important issues and b) how this might translate to what the average layman believed. Because it feels like you’re supposed to pick that up as you go along and even where there are books on the subject they’re not always entirely reliable either (for example, people citing books about how things worked specifically in England to apply to the whole of Europe) and you can’t ask a book a question if you’re confused about any particular point. 

I mean I don’t expect to be spoonfed but somehow I don’t think that I’m supposed to accumulate a half-assed religious education from, say, a 15th century nobleman who was probably more interested in translating chivalric romances and rebelling against the Crown than religion; an angry 16th century Protestant; a 12th century nun from some forgotten valley in the Alps; some footnotes spread out over half a dozen modern political histories of Scotland; and an episode of ‘In Our Time’ from 2009. 

But equally if you’re not a specialist in church history or theology, I’m not sure that it’s necessary to probe the murky depths of every minor theological point ever, and once you’ve started where does it end? 

Anyway this entirely uninformed rant brought to you by my encounter with a sixteenth century bishop who was supposedly writing a completely orthodox book to re-evangelise his flock and tempt them away from Protestantism, but who described the baptismal rite in a way that sounds decidedly sketchy, if not heretical. And rather than being able to engage with the text properly and get what I needed from it, I was instead left sitting there like:

And frankly I didn’t have the time to go down the rabbit hole that would inevitably open up if I tried to find out

my memory is actually so atrocious that no matter how obsessed I am with anything I will never be able to tell you a single concrete thing about it

Once Barry got that money from the cross there were signs. Not that any normal person would recognise other than maybe new jewelry. But there were signs. And all those signs are in a trunk under his bed.

finding coffee pods i really like the look of, only to realise that they're not compatible with the coffee machine i asked for for my birthday 🙃

if i have any major complains about the vanilla clangen experience, it's that the dev team seems to let a lot of things up to player decisions

which on the one hand is good, for creative freedom. but it also means most playthroughs are ultimately boring, what with the rare chance of murders, no way of implementing the warrior code, and no care for whether or not a cat should be exiled for their transgressions, instead leaving it up to the player to decide such things

it's not the worst and definitely doesn't make the game unplayable. but i wish they had more toggles to allow for a more customized experience at least

Think I'm done for today ✅

[meljwrites]

did you read the new pride interview? are they saying hayray go on a trip together or that the actors had a hiatus after such a long storyline?

Yes and I loved it!! I posted most of the photos in its own post :) - i love what kieron and jeremy said!!

For HayRay:

The couple are now in a strong place, with Oscar promising some happier, quieter times. ‘There is a happy ending – for now, definitely [...] We’re working on a little trip, a little hiatus for Lucas and Dillon, it’s much needed after all the drama and everything so we’re really just grafting towards that.' -

I think so, I guess if they do the actors would also get a break!!

They would be solidly together off screen for a bit, and they wouldn't have to just be in their houses while other stories happen, it would be nice.

Wine in the morning and some breakfast at night...

How does it feel to be loved?

[explorersaremadeofhope]

im so slow lmao. i was thinking last night about the "you can stay at my place, if you like" line from 1.6 and how the show strongly implies az takes him up on it but never tells us explicitly or has either of them comment on it afterward

and then i remembered the whole "nice place you got here. could do with some houseplants" from the start of the episode and just. sat bolt upright lmfao. i feel so silly for not connecting those dots until now but I am very happy for the lads
