  I would like to hear this 27 minute lecture on sea monster map placement.

    Can I get a longer version? Maybe with drawing classes, because those maps were awesome!

      They drew stories of sailors as accurately as possible. whales, sea lions etc

      they also thought the sea had everything that land had so they invented some monsters like sea dogs

      they put the monsters where people saw the real animals, where the water was dangerous and where they didn’t want other people to go like their secret fishing spots

  No no no. You need to start by explaining the evolution of mapmaking, before focusing on the monsters.
  Not-map people don’t have enough background on maps, so you must provide that first.

  • bedwyr@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That must have been the problem. I feel like it’s the same problem I had, not describing the backstory to middle earth fully to my date as I told her of the third age…

    • wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      How did you expect her to understand the significance of the Númenor and the sword of Elendil, or Aragon’s reluctance to claim his rightful throne, let alone the rings worn by Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond? Or why there are exactly nine ring wraiths?

      Honestly, did you expect her to just accept the notion that some existential evil was for some reason deciding to wake up now and begin terrorizing the entire known world, without knowing the reasons why, or why destroying this old piece of jewelry is the only way to defeat the evil?

      Even the movies cover that part in the very beginning!

  If she doesn’t want to hear your dissertation on sea monsters then she’s not the one.

  source

  • Rhaedas@fedia.io ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Agreed. Not because she's as fascinated by it, although that would be a plus. But she should be enjoying the time with you, seeing what makes you excited. If that doesn't attract her, move on.

    Be sure to do the same for her interests also. You don't have to be captivated by her hobbies or knowledge of something, but you should like watching her explain it to you.

    source

    • JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Plus, it just sounds interesting. Who wouldn’t be interested by that? I’m always baffled by people who don’t like to learn random shit.

  I never wondered why the map sea monsters were placed in the locations that they were placed in.

  • weps@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    one interesting reason is drew monsters where they didn’t want people to go like their fishing spots

    (the monsters were an indication that the sea was dangerous there)

  I mean, 27 minutes barely seems enough for a proper introduction to such a vast subject.

  source

  • Joeffect@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    They didn’t know what was there so they made pretty art… thats basically the gist of it… so yeah… you got the introduction in a sentence…

    Not hating 27 minutes is either to much or or not enough… but in this case not the right person

  She got lucky, clearly her date was actually a sea monster disguised as a human, a clear attempt as using lonely humans as a slightly more ethical food source rather than sailors who might have family at home waiting for their return.

    The first red flag I got was no mention of bringing any maps to the date. I’d say that’s an important point to mention, which means they didn’t take any maps with them. That’s like bringing a condom but forgetting the dick at home.

  Maybe not 🧐 enough detail on their typology? Did you discuss their independent emergence in various unrelated mapping traditions?

  It must be not discussing their emergence in various distinct mapping traditions.

  27 minutes? You could cover the main options (Somebody says they saw a monster there, to signal some other danger, or to fill space in uncharted waters) in a few minutes.

  source

  • Rhaedas@fedia.io ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    No, if you're covering just the main stuff you aren't properly discussing the lore. Everything has a rabbit hole that needs exploring. Side topics are where the real information is.
