Text of the page (random words):
welp ariaste tsunflowers reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader a big thing is servants you can t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think but i would never have servants it would be so weird to have servants and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants wouldn t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you a really common thing you ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he s not like other baronets but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day not so charming when you think about it that way okay but now what is the optimal way to be a good boss in this situation i genuinely wanna know its easy to guess what makes a bad boss or a mid boss but what is a good boss specifically in such a highly structured hierarchal situation via rainbowroach hello you are asking questions that literature and poetry throughout the middle ages has asked and it is from this questioning that we derive things like the codes of chivalry which is not how to treat a noble lady really nice but is actually how to be an ethical person when you re rich and you own a horse and includes such things as don t run people over with your horse in fact i daresay you already know instinctively just from cultural osmosis what a good boss a good liege lord is and does based on the tropes that have survived to the current day and the kinds of things that get hugely praised in things like legends of king arthur a good boss liege lord is merciful he is not having his peasants killed for things like poaching rabbits during a famine in fact he is working to mitigate famine during times of individual hardship he might negotiate with a peasant for a payment plan on their annual rent patient he is not impulsive he does not lose his temper prudent he makes choices that are thoughtful considered conservative in the sense of not needlessly risky he s not investing his entire fortune in having everyone plant an unproven crop he is making sure local infrastructure like roads and public buildings are maintained and kept in good nick gentle he doesn t haul off and slap a servant or a tenant for breaking a dish or making a mistake he doesn t abuse animals his wife or children or his employees he doesn t rape the servants generous both in money and in spirit he is not extorting the peasants for an amount of rent that is beyond their means he is not raising taxes every year to cover his own lavish lifestyle he is paying his servants a living wage or if wages are low he s giving them room board clothing to make up the difference if someone in a tenant s family dies the lord is sending a gift of condolence or helping to pay for the funeral or possibly even attending the funeral and speaking a few kind words about the deceased especially if they were a really upstanding and important member of the community if one of his tenants is gravely sick the lord is sending a basket of food or paying for a doctor he is giving charitably generally this will be like a bequest to the church so that they can run a hospital or an orphanage or a school for the local village children pious this classically means goes to church submits with humility to god but to me this quality is subtextually standing in for maintaining an ongoing sense of perspective that he s not god that there are higher powers he is accountable to that he too can be judged etc so that he doesn t end up going on a weird fucked up power trip humble one of the most admiring things you hear about a lord doing in literature and epic poetry is he ate off of wooden plates while his followers ate off of gold and silver humility isn t about being meek it s just about not thinking so much of yourself that you turn your nose up and sneer at what lesser people do in other words don t be a fucking diva if your carriage gets stuck in the mud climb out and help everybody else push you re not gonna die from getting mud on your shoes condescending this word has changed wildly in meaning tone over the last couple centuries it s now a rude thing to do because we ve done away with legal social hierarchies so someone acting like they re lowering themselves to your level is insulting but in older times a high ranking person condescending to a servant was worthy of praise and admiration it means they were setting aside rank and privilege to speak to them with the easygoing friendly respect and compassion they d give a peer this is things like treats those beneath him with courtesy and respect ie listens soberly and attentively when one of his servants or tenants comes to complain about a problem having a sense of humor and kindness about it when the lord and a servant both come around a corner at the same time and run into each other and the servant gets knocked to the ground and starts babbling apologies the condescending positive lord helps them to their feet with his own hands and cracks a joke to show them that it s ok as opposed to just walking off without a word or insulting scolding them this is also things like trusting a farmer woodcutter or artisan to speak with expertise about their own livelihood and taking their advice into consideration if they tell the lord that one of his ideas won t work good boundaries the ethical liege lord knows that it s normal for the staff to probably be softly bitching about him in private even with a really good boss we all grumble from time to time he s not eavesdropping on them he s not going into the staff areas where they should reasonably expect to have a degree of privacy etc righteous and protective of the weak the weak here doesn t necessarily mean physically weak this is often used in the sense of someone politically or socially weak aka the marginalized the poor the disabled women children the elderly etc if a lord sees someone like this being mistreated or abused he s supposed to step in and put a stop to that committed to reciprocity in a highly hierarchical system like feudalism every person from the lowest peasant all the way up to the crown prince legally owes their liege lord certain things taxes labor service loyalty etc a good liege remembers and takes very seriously the idea that this should be a balanced and reciprocal relationship in other words he owes something back feudalism is modeled very strongly on the family system if children owe their parents obedience and service then parents owe their children care and protection this still applies when the child is a farmer and the parent is a local baron or when the child is a duke and the parent is the king basically we get so caught up in the aesthetics of nobility that we forget that it literally is a managerial position that comes with responsibilities that were very similar back in the day to the same ones we have now humans have not changed all that much at the end of the day a really good boss in the 1400s versus in one from the 2020s displays most of the same qualities of personality even if the details of execution are different the next question is of course well but this theoretical liege lord is highly idealized how often did that actually happen wasn t it more likely that everyone was exploited all the time and to that i say well maybe but again i don t think humans have changed all that much just like the bosses of today there s a spectrum a really really good boss is rare and precious and one that you tell stories about for years after you ve left that job but a truly genuinely homicidally nightmarish boss is also pretty rare most bosses are sort of meh they have their good moments they have their shitty moments but they re tolerable and you can get along with them well enough to do your job and then you roll your eyes at them behind their back generally humans don t take outright exploitation lying down being a bad boss in the historical period is how you get peasant uprisings and revolts and you know that to be true because your parents raised you with that knowledge so unless you are very stupid or inbred or an egomaniac there is literal personal incentive to at minimum be a tolerable liege lord and that means hitting at least some of the above bullet points tl dr in the words of honore de balzac everything i have just told you can be summarized by an old word noblesse oblige for more discussions of the ethics of fealty and what it means to be a good boss when you are an exquisitely beautiful twink of a prince with a hot beefy bodyguard fingerguns read a taste of gold and iron via 45057 28 jul 26 i didn t realize commenter was alex and halfway through the post i was already thinking about kadou anyway truly everyone read a taste of gold and iron cause damn does it do this in a sexy way hagiomoto hagiomoto hagiomoto ocism is also killing good writings because writers are creating characters first before having themes and goals that s why your story sucked you have a character sheet and all sorts of details but you can t write a plot to save your life your pacing is dogshit this is one of the mildest opinions i have about writing you people are absolutely not ready for my truly scathing takes stay strong read more books read more reviews pay closer attention to the tv shows and movies you watch in other words take note of how each story progresses think more deeply about why you like a story or why you don t watch interviews with writers and creators to understand how they approach storytelling most importantly ignore fandoms because gimmicks and trends are fleeting but good storytelling is timeless via 7481 28 jul 26 taps sign so hard this is why i be saying that trope marketing is killing romance genres because when all the author cares about is churning out another grump sunshine or fucking whatever and that s all the publisher cares about too because they know how to sell that well then guess what where s the fucking plot there there is none it s just character traits and a list of tropes all the way down spocktheestallion on the baby bren bren babysitting headcanons i do actually think essek would be weirdly good with babies in the way that people who are indifferent to cats are always the cats favorite he doesn t fuss over the baby and actually lets it sleep as opposed to caleb who s definitely anxiously waking him up to make sure he s ok every 10 seconds essek is the least pleased person to discover this information closely followed by caleb who goes out of his mind with jealousy via 197 27 jul 26 enlightened mighty nein critical role hey wanna see my in progress tattoo it s a greek red figure pottery inspired massive thigh cuff and it s got boys being
