Wish I was a late bronze age girl

I would have my homeland invaded by the sea peoples. I would be lain siege to by the sea peoples. My cities would be sacked by the sea peoples. I would make bronze tools and pottery. My shores would be invaded by the mysterious sea peoples. I would be mustering my armies to fend off the sea peoples.

Back in my day all you needed to be a cannibal was a chainsaw, blackout curtains, and a dream. Not like nowadays when everyone expects you to wear a ten thousand dollar Armani suit and deliver epic monologues about the nature of humanity. We made the best damn sausage and chili in the county and that's how we liked it. It's gettin' so you can't even afford abandoned houses in an isolated back road anymore, I tell you what. We shoulda known something was up the first time they started serving people with wine. Now look at us, they gentrified cannibalism is what happened.

if you have a few minutes, could you please consider filling out this five question survey about cemeteries, tradition, and superstition for my intro to folklore project? thank you so much 💕

The first rule of violent trench warfare is to have fun and be yourself

The second rule is DONT GET YOUR FUCKING FEET WET

"came back wrong" you could not come back wrong even if you tried. you've changed, beyond recognition, but while my eyes may not know you, my heart still does. i love you.
