I wonder... did he ride an obnoxiously loud horse? Was his gambeson adorned with the stylized emblems of various troubadours and/or bandit gangs? Did he run a shady laudanum business from the back office of the local inn?
At that time the Anglo Saxons where foreigners among the Celtic Britons and their Romano British Culture. So he would probably be surprised, that no one is speaking Brittonic or Latin anymore. He might have gone to great length learning those native languages when he arrived in Britain and now people only speak a weird, very simplified baby version of his own West Germanic language with half the grammar and consonants taken out and the vowels all shifted around like a parody of his language.

How would they know he has a mustache and an ear piercing and that he had male pattern baldness? I can understand the shape of the face and such…

They got his face shape and then added styles that were documented to be popular at the time.

Is that Lemmy from Motorhead, holding the Ace of Spades. Give me an AI prompt without giving me an AI prompt

He looks like he'd like to do two chicks at the same time. I bet if he were a millionaire, he could hook that up.

I hear chicks dig dudes with money... well, maybe not all chicks, but the kinds that'd double up on a dude like him, at least.

I think he’d approve of the name of this platform.

he looks like every mid 30s guy that refuses to age and that buys 12$ coffee at local coffee shops because they can definitely taste the difference
starchylemming@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 286d
mid 30? mid 50 at least.

I think they got the neckline wrong. This guy definitely wears a deep-V.

Its such a shame, since instead of being about adapting to modern technology it becomes about dog whistles and exclusionary politics.

Guy looks like he's about to drink some potion and really fuck some Romans up.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 286d
At least he had access to a proto-bassguitar.

He'd complain about immigrants taking his job as an unemployed drunk man.

For that, they got horses, back then, and they called themselves Knight (as in Knight Rider) … or so I heard.
