#anyways yea there are so many short stories about like sex and genitals and ones with toilet humor and some of them are genuinely so funny

because my main focus is modern lit I always forget how fun medieval lit is like.... you'd think in times when paper was rare and valuable and only the most important things were written down and religious institutions still had a big monopoly on written creation in general there was no place for like... funny and weird and whacky stories, but let me tell you! humanity hasn't changed, we've always loved poop jokes and sex, we still love poop jokes and sex - people in medieval times were just like us in that regard

#simon.out. #academic shitposting #if I may interest you in so medivel german lit: that shit's so fucking funny #also saw a post the other day about medieval art that depicts anthropomorphized genitals and I wanted to add to it but then lost it again. #anyways yea there are so many short stories about like sex and genitals and ones with toilet humor and some of them are genuinely so funny #idk where I'm going with this and maybe it's not so much a misconception many people have but I sure as shit didn't expect to find all that #in medieval texts until I learnt about it in uni #and now I'm gonna talk about it in my final exam yippee
