unrelated to the episode but while i was watching this a 6.0 earthquake happened and the experience of the ground fucking shaking while karina draws a pathetic wolf is something i can never replicate
Could it be that the Wolf dropping the balls is what causes natural disasters? That they are an agent of chaos, neither good nor evil, but an unintentional creator of tragedy?
I would like to complement your profile picture. That particular Omastar image is very chuckle-worthy paired with the tiny, like, wholesome parade face paint style flag

This is basically what’s happening when we only know Plato by his wrestling name, or when old historical texts list Sappho as being married to a guy whose name means “Huge dick” from the faraway place of “man island”

My favorite thing about medieval art is the way they believed making something look too "flawless" was heretical so they always made their characters weird or deformed and you ended up with just the world's goofiest looking babies or people.
The memetic expressions of 14th century books are perfect to me We have always been people As we know, artists often mimic the expressions they’re drawing. So many monks were making all of those faces
That's partially why I like using the Marseille tarot the best. Everyone is so unbothered. Holding open a lion's mouth? Whatever. Falling out of a tower that's on fire and being struck by lightning? Don't care. Being naked except for a flowy white cloth, surrounding by the four Seraphim? Could not care any less.
The werewolf discussion has a point I’d like to add to it: let it be known that the first humanoid carving was the Lion Man, a man with a lion head. In other words, even cavemen had cat boys and humanity was always trying to make furries. Werewolves being pretty old isn’t too far-fetched.
Omg we actually Just learned about this in my anthropology class! Another fun thing about the lion man is that there's traces of organic material in his mouth that suggests people fed him :)
Not as old as that piece but in the Bronze Age around 5000 years ago in Japan during the Jōmon period they have a cat boy sculpture. It’s a global phenomenon!
well they brought up pink pony club in a medieval episode so i feel obligated to mention that hildegard von blingin did a cover of pink pony club in medieval style
It is I, the transition noticer! So calm today! No sound effects, just color-themed bullseyes. The renders are so medieval-y, everyone going outside their comfort zone today! I am impressed! Also, I am today acting as the Captions Noticer, I noticed that the closed-captions (or subtitles, I don't know which is which) while very detailed, do often switch the names of the person talking - frequently says Jacob when it's Nathan, Julia when it's Karina, and vice-versa. I have no idea if this can be fixed, or if it is important to be fixed, but I did notice it.
Right? One time closed captions were on and they were pretty detailed, so I was like “Oh! Someone must have done these manually!” But then it kept attributing line to the wrong people. And there’s no way someone would be doing captions for damage videos but unable to recognize whose voice belonged to whom, so…?
Fun fact the Bayeaux tapestry isn't actually a tapestry despite being called that! A tapestry is fabric woven out of different colours to produce a picture, whereas the Bayeaux tapestry is a (very long) piece of fabric that's been embroidered.
When Julia mentioned that it was a tapestry, I had a voice suddenly echo around in my head "...technically an embroidery..." and I suppose I'll never know which medievalist youtube video was the cause of it.
Ohh, I did wonder that! Embroidery would make a lot more sense. Still a mind-boggling amount of work, but definitely easier to do without messing up, cuz embroidery would be easy to pick out and redo, but weaving the whole thing?? oof!
I'm a medievalist grad student, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but was surprised anyway that they used an image I already know about: Julia's was an illustration from the Roman de la Rose and is meant to depict the protagonist swearing fealty to the personification of Love (because shit was homoerotic back then and it was considered normal to kiss your king to show your fealty to him.) It's a matter of intense academic debate whether it was Guillaume de Lorris or Jean de Meun who put in the 30 stanzas describing the Lover and the God of Love sharing an awkward spaghetti dinner and refusing to break eye contact while lady-and-the-tramping, but I guess some things we'll just never know for sure.
I did a little reading on that hedgehog, and I think my heart broke a little from the sheer sweetness of it. So obviously carved with love, care and skill, yet in an almost cartoon-like simplified manner; a child's toy.
Nathan’s drawing is just Paul Blart being attacked by that bird in that one scene. Thank you Til Death Do Us Blart. You have always been and always will be
39:08 I just got a vivid high school flashback to the time a guy was fiercely arguing that making out with another guy “didn’t count” as gay if you weren’t the one who initiated the first kiss 😂

Kinda of an adorable coincidence that this episode came out today. Yesterday, while my students and I were playing in the gym, my playlist spouted out the Cha Cha Slide, the Macarena, Cotton-Eyed Joe, and the Cupid Shuffle. And, despite being 10-14 year olds, they voluntarily got up and did the dances, without me even leading them. It was wild, spontaneous, and magical to behold.

... until Gutenberg put them all out of work, which is why we don't have monks anymore: they all starved. Now if you want a book copied by hand it's impossible to find someone to do it because it doesn't pay well enough. A cautionary tale to be sure. /s
as an english its weirdly surreal to hear julia talk about the bayeux tapestry like that, it always felt like one of those everyone would know about, it feels like when kids dont know about landlines
I didn’t learn square dancing specifically, but we did learn a few line dances in my 6th and 7th grade years. “The hustle” and “the electric slide” are the two that I remember, but I think there may have been a third. It was part of a teaching unit where we learned several ballroom styles (cha cha, swing, waltz etc). Fun side note, I taught an entire room of teenagers how to do the electric slide during a formal dance in 9th grade. For context, I grew up in SoCal.
As a Brit, them not knowing the bayeux tapestry is wild to me. The story of the 1066 invasion of England by the Normans is so engrained from an early age, I forget it’s not universal
I’m currently writing my thesis on late antique art in the western Roman frontier so this ep title made me so hyped! also, they should expand their art historical references and use west Asian reliefs, Egyptian papryi, or Maya codex vases as inspo! There are just as many weird and interesting figures in non-European art.
Since Weird Medieval Guys was mentioned on top just want to point out that account has spun off a very good podcast that is both informative and entertaining
No lie, the conversation at the start of Karina's drawing made me feel so seen having Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. So relatable being told you'll bounce back & are 'too young' for various maladies of the joints & muscles. Joint hypermobility squad! In the Tx summer my legs look like rubber. It's hilarious & caused me to be banned from all hide & seek due to folding myself into impossible spaces. 😂
Nathan's is a guy trying to stop the baby-bringing stork Karina's is just another werewolf who's actually pretty chill and just happens to have human feet Julia's is the first recorded instance of Gay Chicken
I hope the drawfee babes and Jacob sees this, I work in customer care and this week has been mentally exhausting! Today’s video really brought me back to life. Thank you!!
I'm sorry, I know that at 0:31 David probably just pulled up a stock photo of a food court from somewhere just because he liked its vibe or something... But seeing the food court of the "Galaxy* shopping mall in my city of Szczecin in a Drawfee episode made me do a quadruple take and gave me immense joy :D What a silly little thing to come across, hahaha
@@whitherwhencein Polish "sz" (pronounced like sh) and "cz" (pronounced like ch in "chest") are completely normal and sometimes they are next to each other. I think if you would pronounce the name of this city like sh-cheh-cheen you would be close
Ftr the name of the second creature is spelled "cefusa", just in case anyone else - like me - was deeply charmed by the little guy and wanted to find the image for their own purposes lol
I'm barely 3 minutes into the video but have to say this realization hit me like a freight train - Karina and Jacob's on-screen dynamic has been that of the wise fool and foolish king all along!! I mean, except when they're both being either daddies or gremlins lol, but realizing how often they've been playing the centuries-old literary trope of the king+fool dynamic tickles me so
Julia's drawing reminded me so much of the one of the scenes from the staring contests on the late 90s British comedy sketch show Big Train. I doubt many here will have heard of it.
Sometimes I forget that Julia is from a different land (the northeastern United States) and then she innocently mentions square dancing as something a Texan who's not Like That might be into :')
Julia: Have you ever heard of the Bayeaux Tapestry? Me at home, who took one Medieval history class in college: Of course, only fools don't know what that is. Jacob: (also it depicts the Battle of Hastings)
Apparently Julia's drawing is them kissing, its titled "Amour (Love) kissing the Lover" in Master of the Prayer Books from around 1490 to 1500. It is ye old yaoi
Monks drew a lot of these out of sheer boredom, too. That's why they're marginalia. There would also be little notes that said shit like 'oh Lord but I have the worst headache' and 'the cat knocked over my inkpot again' and 'my hand hurts, also it is much too cold.' I think the favorite one I've heard of was 'Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job!'
Apparently a lot of the mandatory or official square dancing nonsense in the US traces back to an early 20th century backlash against jazz dancing that was seen as likely to lead to I dunno, low moral character, miscegenation, whatever else people were worried about at the time.
I did a project on the origin of werewolves. Most of the werewolf myth was created by early Hollywood (ex. Weakness to silver because a werewolf was beaten by septer that happened to have a silver head at the climax of a movie). But people turning into wolves or bears was pretty prevalent in norse mythology, this was demonized during the dark ages as pagan beliefs were mythologized as demonic entities. There was a guy with a belt he said Satan gave him that made him turn into a wolf and eat children. Later werewolves in some form showed up in a lot of gothic writing. For the most part it was all about people turning into wolves on command, from what I understand. But after the Hollywood films it became turning into a wolf-man hybrid during full moons
There's also earlier stories from different regions! I forget exactly where, but there was one that basically went that if a person goes to a specific tree and takes off their clothes and leaves them hanging on the tree, and then swims across the bog that the tree is at, they'll turn into a wolf for 9 years, and if during that 9 years they avoid eating any humans then at the end, they can swim back across the bog, turn back into a human, put their same clothes back on and leave.
Kinda curious where you got your info because I tried looking up stuff on the origins of werewolves outta curiousity some time ago and found some stuff that, uh... Well that version was basically the European version of the wendigo. Yes, cannibalism was included, but also lusting after the neighbor's wife. Was a weird read, no clue how accurate that particular version of werewolves' origins was but ik there's other were-creatures in other countries' lore and there's definitely going to be some inaccurate stuff out there on just about everything. Trying to find real info on a myth was often more frustrating then fun so I eventually lost any interest in it, but was definitely interesting before it became a headache. Maybe I just didn't dig too far though because I really only saw European references on werewolves and other countries/cultures having werewolves in specific as well isn't surprising, but still news nonetheless to me

oh my gosh they were "Tablet Mates"! "prophetic besties"! "historic Buddies"!
as an english its weirdly surreal to hear julia talk about the bayeux tapestry like that, it always felt like one of those everyone would know about, it feels like when kids dont know about landlines
I was just about to mention this! How do they not know about the bayeux tapestry??? We literally went to see it for a school trip in year 8
haha exactly, and 'its about this whole war', like you mean the norman conquest of 1066????
this is such an american coded response tho, acting like your country's somwhat niche history is common sense.
@@uuh4yj43 nah, American coded would insist that it is actually common knowledge. This is acknowledging the fact that it’s not
"Kaiba really is the Dean of this drawing" made me cry-laugh at my cubicle
As a professional medieval re-enactor I'm excited for more art dedicated to my era!
Have *you* ever heard a lord say "don't get it twisted?"
not a professional medieval re-enactor but i am an amateur linguistics, history, & archaeology nerd so stuff like this is always real neat to meee...
@@erinhollow773 It's all they ever go on about tbh
I didn’t learn square dancing specifically, but we did learn a few line dances in my 6th and 7th grade years. “The hustle” and “the electric slide” are the two that I remember, but I think there may have been a third. It was part of a teaching unit where we learned several ballroom styles (cha cha, swing, waltz etc). Fun side note, I taught an entire room of teenagers how to do the electric slide during a formal dance in 9th grade. For context, I grew up in SoCal.
Not the Merobiba face
merobiba you've done it again
Merobiba, thou hath done it again
Merobiba, thou hast doneth it anew.
Okay this episode feels like such a classic. It feels like a throwback to a different era of Drawfee.
As a Brit, them not knowing the bayeux tapestry is wild to me. The story of the 1066 invasion of England by the Normans is so engrained from an early age, I forget it’s not universal
OH EIGHT HUNDRED DOUBLE OH, TEN SIXTY SIX!
'That Time I was Reincarnated as a Juggling Cryptid' is flying off the shelves.
Is it _wrong_ to pick up werewolves by juggling??
I’m currently writing my thesis on late antique art in the western Roman frontier so this ep title made me so hyped!
also, they should expand their art historical references and use west Asian reliefs, Egyptian papryi, or Maya codex vases as inspo! There are just as many weird and interesting figures in non-European art.
10:26 The thought that came to my mind, instantly, was, "I'm not a chicken, and your racism is fowl."
Since Weird Medieval Guys was mentioned on top just want to point out that account has spun off a very good podcast that is both informative and entertaining
I'm so glad therapy helped jacob get over his nathan on the floor issues!
I love the pathetic wolf so much. He is loved. I would clap fpr him and encourage him to try again
33:25 Two bros, chilling in the same illuminated manuscript, five feet apart 'cause they're not gay.
No lie, the conversation at the start of Karina's drawing made me feel so seen having Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. So relatable being told you'll bounce back & are 'too young' for various maladies of the joints & muscles. Joint hypermobility squad! In the Tx summer my legs look like rubber. It's hilarious & caused me to be banned from all hide & seek due to folding myself into impossible spaces. 😂
oooougghh karinas little creature is making me tear up.. i love him
Nathan's is a guy trying to stop the baby-bringing stork
Karina's is just another werewolf who's actually pretty chill and just happens to have human feet
Julia's is the first recorded instance of Gay Chicken
I hope the drawfee babes and Jacob sees this, I work in customer care and this week has been mentally exhausting! Today’s video really brought me back to life. Thank you!!
I'm sorry, I know that at 0:31 David probably just pulled up a stock photo of a food court from somewhere just because he liked its vibe or something...
But seeing the food court of the "Galaxy* shopping mall in my city of Szczecin in a Drawfee episode made me do a quadruple take and gave me immense joy :D
What a silly little thing to come across, hahaha
Not to miss the point of your tungent but is your town called Szczecin? What language is thaf? Is szcz a normal sequence of letters to you?
@@whitherwhence Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz?
@@whitherwhence That’s Polish.
What’s your native language? Like is “throughout” a normal sequence of letters for you?
“Yes, English can be weird.
It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.”
David Burge.
@@whitherwhencein Polish "sz" (pronounced like sh) and "cz" (pronounced like ch in "chest") are completely normal and sometimes they are next to each other.
I think if you would pronounce the name of this city like sh-cheh-cheen you would be close
Medieval art second panels is the new Bone game! This needs to have sequels 👌👍
Medieval art is what brought me to Drawfee!! Let’s go!!!
Ftr the name of the second creature is spelled "cefusa", just in case anyone else - like me - was deeply charmed by the little guy and wanted to find the image for their own purposes lol
"on X the everything app" ...I think Jacob watches the yard 😅
I'm barely 3 minutes into the video but have to say this realization hit me like a freight train - Karina and Jacob's on-screen dynamic has been that of the wise fool and foolish king all along!! I mean, except when they're both being either daddies or gremlins lol, but realizing how often they've been playing the centuries-old literary trope of the king+fool dynamic tickles me so
My FAVORITE! I love all the Medieval Art episodes!
Either Karina edited this episode or David is getting really good at knowing her hyper-specific references and, honestly, props to them if so.
Grew up in Arkansas, we would do line dancing to "Cotton-Eye Joe". As a treat!
Y’all are lucky you got music. I had to do square dancing to the music teacher calling out different moves
Once Julia's plan became clear, I suddenly remembered a classic vine:
🎶two bros
Sitting in a hot tub
Six feet apart 'cause they're
Not gay!🎶
omg i had no idea gamefee could draw!!!!
Julia's drawing reminded me so much of the one of the scenes from the staring contests on the late 90s British comedy sketch show Big Train. I doubt many here will have heard of it.
Thank you drawfee for helping me get back into art again and again
The Talentless Legendary Creature (That Lives Among Us) is my new band/album name, I call _dibs!_
The humor really hit this episode. I’m laughing so much!
As a Spanish speaker the first one hits different when I just think of it as "pulling the gooseneck"
Sometimes I forget that Julia is from a different land (the northeastern United States) and then she innocently mentions square dancing as something a Texan who's not Like That might be into :')
Nooo don't make fun of the little wolf guy, he's trying his best!! 😭
Julia: Have you ever heard of the Bayeaux Tapestry?
Me at home, who took one Medieval history class in college: Of course, only fools don't know what that is.
Jacob:
(also it depicts the Battle of Hastings)
I was about to look at it but then... Let's just say archers these days have more range than you'd think.
as a british dude, it was slightly painful haha.
Apparently Julia's drawing is them kissing, its titled "Amour (Love) kissing the Lover" in Master of the Prayer Books from around 1490 to 1500. It is ye old yaoi
stunning
The last word of this comment hit me like a cut from a TV samurai that only takes effect the moment the sword is sheathed.
Monks drew a lot of these out of sheer boredom, too. That's why they're marginalia. There would also be little notes that said shit like 'oh Lord but I have the worst headache' and 'the cat knocked over my inkpot again' and 'my hand hurts, also it is much too cold.'
I think the favorite one I've heard of was 'Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job!'
9:16 Well, Hildegard von Blingin did release the medieval version of Pink Pony Club...
I grew up in Washington state, and we had to learn square dancing as well.
Was looking for this comment
Apparently a lot of the mandatory or official square dancing nonsense in the US traces back to an early 20th century backlash against jazz dancing that was seen as likely to lead to I dunno, low moral character, miscegenation, whatever else people were worried about at the time.
14:10 we had to square dance in Wisconsin Physical Education class too, it might be more of a public school thing than a southern usa thing lol
Same here in Upstate New York! XD
I had to so square dancing and I'm from California
We did line dancing to Shania Twain in middle school....in southwest Michigan
I'm from California and in elementary School PE. Not only did I have to learn squared dancing. I also have to do the macarena.
I learned the months of the year to the moves of the macarena in elementary school
I did a project on the origin of werewolves. Most of the werewolf myth was created by early Hollywood (ex. Weakness to silver because a werewolf was beaten by septer that happened to have a silver head at the climax of a movie). But people turning into wolves or bears was pretty prevalent in norse mythology, this was demonized during the dark ages as pagan beliefs were mythologized as demonic entities. There was a guy with a belt he said Satan gave him that made him turn into a wolf and eat children. Later werewolves in some form showed up in a lot of gothic writing. For the most part it was all about people turning into wolves on command, from what I understand. But after the Hollywood films it became turning into a wolf-man hybrid during full moons
There's also earlier stories from different regions! I forget exactly where, but there was one that basically went that if a person goes to a specific tree and takes off their clothes and leaves them hanging on the tree, and then swims across the bog that the tree is at, they'll turn into a wolf for 9 years, and if during that 9 years they avoid eating any humans then at the end, they can swim back across the bog, turn back into a human, put their same clothes back on and leave.
Sounds like your project wasnt very in-depth because there is a TON of mediaeval werewolf lore all across europe. Bisclauret ???
Kinda curious where you got your info because I tried looking up stuff on the origins of werewolves outta curiousity some time ago and found some stuff that, uh... Well that version was basically the European version of the wendigo. Yes, cannibalism was included, but also lusting after the neighbor's wife. Was a weird read, no clue how accurate that particular version of werewolves' origins was but ik there's other were-creatures in other countries' lore and there's definitely going to be some inaccurate stuff out there on just about everything. Trying to find real info on a myth was often more frustrating then fun so I eventually lost any interest in it, but was definitely interesting before it became a headache. Maybe I just didn't dig too far though because I really only saw European references on werewolves and other countries/cultures having werewolves in specific as well isn't surprising, but still news nonetheless to me
I have done so much Bayeux Tapestry - related work this semester at university. I can't escape it!
Speed Draw Suggestion: Finishing off *each others CHILDHOOD drawings*
Similar to the 'Finishing each others line art' episode. But adding in the old 'Redrawing our childhood drawings' episodes.
Interpreting each others childhood scribbles into full artistic beauty ~☆
the entire part of Julia's drawing absolutely destroyed me 😂
My oncidium orchid is blooming, so i suggest making characters based off of different orchid flowers!
Was waiting for Karina to reference destiel for the last one, knew she was gonna do it as soon as she said “this is kinda…”
“pethzent” Julia is here now i gotta go
The captions get who is talking wrong a lot just fiy ❤
