my favorite part of vlr is how it starts off like “oh ok i guess the three of us will go through this door together that’s fine” but eventually it just turns into “no i don’t want to go with dio” “well i don’t want to go with dio either” “well somebody has to go with dio”
apparently modern medieval scholars have no solid idea why there’s so many old paintings of knights fighting snails. Like that wasn’t just one weird painting there’s hundreds of those.

And my favorite one here
I’m not saying humanity defeated an invasion of snail aliens in the Middle Ages but hold on wait that’s EXACTLY what I’m saying
snail aliens, or snaliens,
probably it was just funny so people kept doing it. which is basically what a meme is
the explanation I’ve heard is that most of the monks who did these illustrations would have kept small gardens where they grew all their own food and this was their way of venting about snails ruining their gardens
ok thats even funnier
This is hands down one of my favourite posts on Tumblr.
“Fuckin snails, I’m gonna draw me some God damn knights killing the shit out of these shell slime fucks. Teach them to fucking ruin my herbs. Assholes.”
“There are moments when a single snail can make a world go extinct.”
