    I remember telling my mom I’d make a good Spinster, just hanging out at home, doing needle work. She laughed and said, “You’re black, you’d be a slave.”

    More than likely, you would not have been a knight, you would have been a peasant working the fields for your short life before dying of some incurable bacterial infection when you got a cut on some of your farm tools.

      I see what you’re saying

      And it’s correct

      But

      A lot of people also long for the relative simplicity and predictability of peasant life.

      What is the entirety of the cottagecore aesthetic if not a longing for that? (well, that and a hint of racism but y’know y’know y’know)

      One of these literally shows a dead soldier in a field of flowers so, yeah.

      It’s idle longing. I could give up my career, move to a deeply rural area, and break my back doing menial jobs until I die of health complications at 64. I won’t, but it’s nice to long for the imagined simplicity sometimes y’know?

    Pretty sure you aren’t born to battle to a senseless death for a greedy overlord. You’re born to exhaustion hunt prey and gather seeds and roots

    I am interpreting the top half as play fantasy games all day and not actually live in olden times.

    Born to be the tribe’s nightwatch.

    Forced to wake up a 5 AM because my company’s HQ is in a different timezone than me.
