"Medieval people lean into each other's face's and say stuff all intense-like a lot more than modern people. Good thing they were apparently trained from birth not to spray spittle when doing that."
"It's convenient how in medieval times, people always posed so they were facing the camera."
"Why is everyone so fucking earnest and intense and canny all the time, shouldn't these people have been drunk like, a lot."
