The bit is way too long

the bit was bad too. he just keep adding fluff that wasn't contained in the original simple statement.

not to mention, yeah the surviving literature & art from that era was art-y *shocked Pikachu face*

we're not reading the normal conversations at the local inn nowadays. were reading the stuff that intentionally written beautifully.

it's like "you complain a lot" vs "you doth protest too much" ... which is direct and he decided to add words for no reason to "I beg thou to seize your incessant protest of the current, rather dire, circumstances." ... like sure but you can say that long in normal English too, like you would on a novel: "bitch, I told ya, it's so fucking annoying how you constantly complain - cut that shit out"
