I think if you said that to the medieval artist they’d just go, “oh good you understand my vision”.

Like… that’s 100% what they’re going for. Does the tweeter think it looks like that by accident?

I apologize, but I'm taking this as an excuse to infodump just a little. I am excited to tell you a number of things.

First, it is genuinely medieval; that's a pilgrim badge. This particular photo may actually be a replica of the original -- I'm not sure -- but it's a medieval design.

Second, it's definitely supposed to be a vagina. It might also represent Jesus's side wound, but it's primarily a vagina. We know this because the "anthropomorphic vagina" thing is a recurring motif in pilgrim badges and a lot of those badges also have dicks, a context which I think makes the intent clear. (And, of course, there are plenty of badges that are just dicks.)

Third, nobody is exactly sure why this is a thing, but there is some ongoing academic debate on the subject. I've seen arguments for different theories, including:

  • some kind of apotropaic function
  • medieval hookup culture
  • funy

Fourth, two badges have been found with this design, and it has developed a colloquial name -- here's an excerpt from an M.A. thesis by Lena Mackenzie Gimbel that mentions it. (I was just doing a quick check through the library catalog to make sure I could verify this was a real design, and then I found this source and had to show y'all the screenshot.)

A brief excerpt from a paper in which the design in question is referred to as "Pussy Goes A-Hunting"ALT

I love the Middle Ages, and so much of it is just objectively friggin' goofy. Also I will be referring to kings as "god's favorite munchkins" in future, thank you.

Reminder that the characters in the Canterbury Tales - some of the raunchiest stories available in any age - are religious pilgrims.

Medieval pilgrims were, at least some of the time, horny as fuck.

I did a work exchange at a museum in the netherlands for a bit when I was 16, and they had a whole cabinet in one of the stable storage rooms just dedicated to drawers and drawers of pilgrim badges shaped like dicks. big dicks, small dicks, fat dicks, skinny dicks, dicks in hats, regal dicks, dicks disguised as birds, dicks disguised as beasts, dicks disguised as pilgrims, ornate dicks, crude dicks. the curator who showed me around was so defeated like "we have no idea what to do with them all. people keep finding them and sending them to us. every time someone digs up a water main they find another dick badge. we have so many already."

New year, new obsession 🦊

I'm glad I looked past the first sentences of aftg, which really made me want to just close the book and never open it again. After a while, I somehow fell in love with that mess 💓

No specific scene or anything, just thought about how I imagine Andrew, Aaron and Kevin could look like (kind of at least)

This was supposed to be for the 2023 aftg big bang, but the author of the accompanying story had some trouble crop up irl, so i’ve been waiting for them to finish so i could show it off..

Alas, trouble seems to still be brewing, so i’ve decided to show it off after all since i’m honestly quite proud of it.

So have a smoke-jumper Andrew (iirc) looking out over the area he’s keeping track of.

I honestly had kind of a hellish time getting this to look right, but i’m very happy with where it ended up lol

How DARE Tolkien omit in the final draft the information that the traditional hobbit marriage custom is to have unspoken vibes for years and then disappear without explanation for an indeterminate length of time!?

tehri

#where's the fic where bilbo returns with thorin in tow and no one bats an eye#like#'he married a dwarf did he? well he always was an odd fellow'#'good day to you master dwarf how's your husband?'#and thorin is just ?????#'how do they know i'm courting him? did he show them the mithril shirt?'#just give me all the hilarious culture clashes ok

@finegoddamnit​ how dare you hide this in the tags

nevertheless-moving

so that whole time merry, pippin, sam, and frodo are gone the whole shire is losing their minds arguing over who married who.
