What if, instead of being shamed for eating the fruit in the garden of eden, Adam and Eve were praised for learning?
"Congrats, you two have knowledge, now go out and learn about the world."
The God of the Bible is turned into a disappointed father rather than an angry God.
"Why did you guys do that? You should've known better."
"A family of 8 made a boat without any directions, I just gave dimensions. They're smarter than all of you."
It dawned on my why in "historical/medevial" movies, nothing is what it should be, be it the armor of that time, the outfits of that decade (yes, they changed that quickly), the architecture isn't of the time period, or even the accent is incorrect
Either:
A) The people behind it don't care that much
B) The items would be too expensive to produce. Just look at Henry VIII's armor; that stuff is stupid, complicated, and fancy... wait, LOTR has crews slave away at chainmail, which is very time-consuming and can get very complicated
C) You'll never tell who's who on the battlefield... oh wait, banners exist
D) History is too boring or takes forever to hit all the main points over a century... even though there are ways to show the passing of time and, just, game of thrones
E) speaking on an OP or earlier accent can get unintelligible if you're not accustomed to it... but subtitles exist
And finally. 99.99% of the time, axes and swords are worn on the hip, not the back. The only exception is the beast being oo long to wear on the side.
Spears are cheap and are stupid easy to use, especially with a sheild.
Combat is always fast and can lead to a messy ground fight. Yes, getting bonked really hard is an option. Bows were used by strong people and were fired quickly and/or with high precision (trick shots were used to pass the time, not hitting archery targets)
People snuffing it was a normal occurrence, be it from illness, infection, accidents, or fighting.
"But it's a movie," yeah, and my countless hyoerfixations say otherwise

It's funny that we see craftsmen do their thing, but almost never see them slave away at farming resources. We never see the lone young blacksmith devote weeks to make their charcoal or making everything for corner of the craft that they want to explore, but have nothing to do it.
There's only two shows that do that, but one covers all of science, and the other is an average Joe that makes crude tools rather than devoting countless hours to refine each stage of their adventure.

TRANS PRIDE HATSUNE MIKU KITTY
I genuinely hate how our entire society is built around money. We don't see people as human anymore, we see them as assets or burdens. We are all alive and I firmly believe that:
Immigrants are human;
Trans people are human;
People of color are human;
Queer people are human;
Intersex people are human;
People of any religion or no religion are human;
Every single human deserves the right to Healthcare, food, shelter, clothing, education and BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. Politicians see people as burdens, money or insignificant pawns in their game. This needs to stop. We all deserve to not only exist and live, but truly thrive. While the rich get richer, the rest of the world gets left behind. We are all equal, so we need to start fucking acting like it.
