Oh God, This May Be Why I Keep Persuading People To Get Into Good Media And Then Wondering Why They're

I'm personally convinced that Lift is going to convert everyone to the Church Of A Big Dinner.

Now thinking about the plot of sa6 (presumably, they get stormlight back as the main *big win* moment- this is the Stormlight Archives after all)

ANYWAY thinking about that and the implications of Kaladin Stormblessed disappearing when stormlight does and returning when it does. Like Herald of Second Chances and "here's your second chance with stormlight. Here's your second chance at being Radiant". Or something.

I was digging around in my shelves for Ork bits, and found my old Imperial Guard Command Squad, from the 8th Necromundan regiment.

I made these around '98-99 - the rest of the army was mostly Van Saar and Orlock gangs I'd picked up cheap second hand, plus some tanks. Had a lot of fun in the City Fight era. I still can't do faces for shit, mind

[through gritted teeth] i'm a warframe player now

im watching a little doc on youtube about an 11th century castle, and theres a bit where they are talking to a group of older women who are working on a large hand embroidered tapestry commemorating its nearly 1000 years of history & into the modern era.. and off on the border they show a bit where the women have stitched themselves working on it into the piece itself, and it made me kinda emotional

how amazing to have a visual depiction of the women who spent literal years painstakingly stitching such a wonderful piece of art that historically would have gone uncredited

I mentioned this to my dad and he's been ranting for ten minutes about how it wasn't accurate to the books, mostly because Derek Jacobi can't speak Welsh or pronounce the place names.

I thought today - the TV show I'd really like to see is one about a medieval monastery.

You could have all kinds of characters: the pious guy who joined because he wanted to serve God, the son born out of wedlock sent there to cover up his parents' shame, the geek who wanted to study Latin but couldn't afford to go into university, the former knight sick of violence and afraid for his soul... Plus monasteries were centres of pilgrimage and places where criminals could take refuge, so we can have a lot of characters who crop up for a few episodes and leave.

Some plotlines I thought of:

Our relics aren't bringing in the pilgrims the way they used to - what do we do?

A women fleeing an abusive marriage has taken shelter in the monastery - how will the brothers respond to having a women in their midst?

One of the monks wants to leave - will the abbot accept or not?

A murderer has taken refuge in the abbey, and the abbot decides to try and save his soul - what will happen?

People are coming to the monastery for food during the famine, but the monastery is itself short of food - how will this be dealt with?

War has broken out between two local lords, and the monks attempt to broker a treaty - will it work?

I've already mentioned some reasons why I think this setting would lend itself to television, but I'd also love to make it for two other reasons:

Get people to understand how weird medieval religion could get, but also that, within its own frame of reference, it was a reasonable and consistent belief system.

Show people that the Middle Ages consisted of more than just muddy people stabbing each other and burning scientists at the stake.

Having a bit of fun making hangers-on for my Necromunda gangs.

Sextus Udo is the rogue doc assisting Hark and Nav (my Locked Tomb themed Escher gang).

Knot Toogrots is a totally normal human fungus farmer.

I love her.

Considering SAO's reputation (mostly due to its shitty adaptations), it's really funny to see a part where Kirito and Asuna just turn to the camera and say "stop treating women as property and start treating them as people."
