Been binging Shadiversity's channel. He's a medieval enthusiast. Lots of informative vidoes on castles, swords, etc. but the most entertaining videos are his take downs of fantasy castles from movies, tv and video games. He absolutely tears their design apart.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

He is one cantankerous Aussie. I do enjoy his channel in small doses.

There is also the Skandi Skallagrim: https://www.youtube.com/user/SkallagrimNilsson

And the Italian Metatron: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIjGKyrdT4Gja0VLO40RlOw

If you like his channel. Though less Castle stuff I think.

Took a look at a couple of videos. Topics seem interesting but the guy is unbearable. Between the faux-medieval speech, the length of the videos and the shouting I couldn't make it to the end of the 2nd one.

Yeah. As I said I can only take him in small doses.

Faux-medieval speech? I think that is just an Australian accent. Both are grating, granted.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Really cool, thanks for linking! That guy's analysis of Velázquez's Meninas is also great.

His analysis of Anthony Hopkins in Westworld is very interesting as well.
