this is such a strong opening paragraph for an article about a medieval cookbook
Bruh it’s gonna be like nothing because poor people literally had no food
Or it’s just potatoes WHY WOUKD ANYONE WANT TO EAT LIKE A MEDIEVAL PEASANT???????? They didn’t even have SPICES
Medieval peasants grew crops and owned sheep and chickens and kept gardens to grow herbs and had ways to salt and pickle foods in a time before refrigeration and milked goats to get milk and cheese.
Stop getting all your info from Game of Thrones.
Also potatoes are from South America so ummm no medieval European peasants didn’t eat them.
Tolkien didn’t make elaborate dumb anachronism jokes with hobbits eating taters in order to amuse himself just for us to go and then forget what a colossal nerd he was

So when Earth gets its own permanent superstorm like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and it makes it so the tropics are basically no longer habitable by humans is it going to have one of these random old-person hurricane names
How fucked up would it be if they chose your first name for that storm
Like you’d pretty much have to change it, right? The storm’s not going away and keeping your name would be in pretty poor taste, I’d think
in a Young Adult novel it would just be called The Storm
In a Terry Pratchett novel it would just be called Alfred. Not Hurricane Alfred, or Tropical Storm Alfred, just Alfred. This might be brought up once by a naive, sympathetic viewpoint character, but some wiser (for certain values of wise) character will admonish them for discrimination against natural phenomena, and noting that we would never call a human “Human Jim”. Later in the story, the Alfred’s individuality and relatability will be a significant plot point.
in a cyberpunk novel it would be the second half of an ordinary word, with an apostrophe at the beginning. the ‘phoon, the ‘cane, etc.
goddammit you’re absolutely right
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST IS CORRECT AND I’M ANGRY
In a steampunk novel it would be “the great perpetual tropical storm Strathclyde” with an accompanying explanation of Lord Strathclyde’s endowment to the university, and personal brilliance in the use, of a specialised meteorological analytical engine.

The Magic Circle (1886), by J.W. Waterhouse
In above painting, the Magic Circle is drawn in the earth by a witch behind a cauldron over an open fire. With the wand in one hand and a Celtic boline in the other, the witch is carrying a snake around her neck, representing ouroboros: the symbol of life and death. Several ravens, one of them on top of a human skull, do not dare to enter the circle. In the smoke from the cauldron, figures are starting to form and in the background, a cave marks the entrance of the underworld.
This is a much more forceful image than the gouache with the same name from 1882 by Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones. Waterhouse got more and more interested in the occult, as was already demonstrated by “Consulting the Oracle” (1884) and he kept on painting sorceresses until his death. The face of the witch is believed to have been painted after his sister: May Waterhouse.
