Can't even just die, gotta put on an act till the end 💀

[MattiasPilhede]

Thanks, going to think of this while dying

[laurimajaniemi]

What didn’t get you into hell in medieval times…

[savage_the_wild]

"This is fine."
"I am fine."
Origin stories are great.

[randombritishperson.]

"T'is nothing but a scratch "

[treystephens]

They’re like you know what? I don’t care.

[TheBearAspirin]

Facts: that's why there were no slasher movies made during the Middle Ages

[lockhak]

It also probably helps those are paintings and not photographs because I have a pretty good feeling that are least some of them didn't look like that board when they were actually deleted from the census

Looks like what most of them wanted was a paracetamol.

Nah, all the pictures and drawings were from England. Death is a release there, there is no such thing on the continent.

Remember that vikings had to greet death with joy if they were being sacrificed... they couldn't scream through pain or else they would be denied their reward

Executioner: "Oh cheer up, mate its a Friday"

[KaritKtana]

It all looks like a thousand year old "dumb ways to die"

[littleNorwegians]

What fascinates me about history and cultures is the peoples' lenses that view the world.
Ours is no different and one day people will look at what we did and thought with curiosity and wonder how we could've thought what we did.

Me while being shot by a mugger 15 times:😐

[anonymousme]

Wow, the graciousness of god, you're not allowed to react to pain.

[Amira_Phoenix]

Medieval peeps: Just another day at work...

[CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Never even realized, but this was hilarious :')
My particular favourite is the lady with the sword through her neck. Like sighhh, just another blade through the neck. What else is new 🙄

🤣🤣
