I just wanted to say that I love your monk OCs and would love to learn more about them! Is there anywhere online that you've posted stories/comics about them besides Tumblr?

Thank u so much!!! I post on insta too but nothing important that isn't already here... You can have some more doodles if you like them though ^_^

#if you have any specific questions I'm always happy to answer those #I'm not too precious about my art of them doing well since it's more of a personal oc passion project than something I'm making for others #like fandom art #but i know there are some monk likers here and there and it makes me happy when you guys enjoy my ocs #monkposting #oc posting #medieval monks #as per #also shoutout pentiment for the text in the first pic i think about that line every day

I think the next historical period piece should be a mockumentary sitcom about medieval monks.

And the fact that there is a camera crew in the middle ages is never addressed.

The only time they acknowledge the camera besides interviews is when Vikings invade the monastery, one of the monks uses a camera to hit a viking over the head with it.

reasons i would make a great medieval monk:

• aroace - no problem with a vow of celibacy and the idea of not being able to marry isn’t a concern for me personally

• autistic - a segmented day? separated by hour? with specific things to do in those times? excellent!

• big lover of bread and cheese

• do love a little sing-song and chanting in a rhythm soothes me

• love scribing shit

• love doing those silly ass looking flouncy letters

• one of my special interests is medieval religion. so. bonus.

• oh i need to be silent for bit? i already go non-verbal sometimes babygirl that's not a problem

• monk robes provide 0% body shape. it’s all rectangle. excellent.

So I've finally made it to visit Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire. Beside being absolutely stunned by the ruins of the abbey itself, I almost melted when I saw this in the souvenir shop. Just look at it.

Of course I was not gonna leave this silly monk-bear there. Thank you, English Heritage, for making my day.

Just like many other nerds, middle-schooler me LOVED using coloured pens whilst taking notes during class. My desk mate and I would bring up all of our pens and pile them up in the middle of our desk (it was a long wooden desk). We had more than a hundred pens 😭. And I'm not exaggerating when I say we used a different pen for almost every sentence. Those pages were filled up with the cutest page borders, little figures that were absolutely unrelated with the subject of the notes, and the boldest, most colourful titles. Now that I'm looking back, i believe that we were briefly possessed by the ghosts of medieval monks because I have absolutely no other explanation to why I drew a smiley faced fella squirting blood next to

Brian Patrick McGuire in his book "The Difficult Saint" (1991) characterized Bernard of Clairvaux as "a mysterious combination of affection and hostility" (p. 38) and if this is not the best description of Bernard's personality, then I don't know what is.

Was minding my own business today when my brain suddenly recalled a history text I read years ago back in college describing homosexuality in medieval monasteries. Being an isolated population of entirely men comprised of the cast-off and spare sons of local lords and nobles, it was not uncommon for the monks to rampantly bugger the hell out of each other.

Then, in a display of rules-lawyering that medieval monks were infamous for, the monks would Confess their recent “sins” to their lover so they could Absolve each other. That way, they could walk around with a spiritually clean slate until the next time they got together with the hot monk in the next cell over and “sinned” again. Genius. Outstanding. Gaming the system. No notes.
