And now a distant relative of the garden gnome.
TIL!
To me it sounds like a lovely mix between the jester and the wild man.
Pretty sure I could ace the shit out of that job.
The competition is already fierce. Good luck!
I would love to be a court jester.
It's basically the feudal equivalent of a disneyland mascot.
Oh hell yeah, we should bring this back. Give me a nice little cottage, some space to grow weed and mushrooms, and a nice big forest to run around in consequence free and ill totally be your Radagast the brown running around the woods. They say if you can catch a glimpse of me, however fleeting, its good luck for your visitors.
I'll be your polar opposite...
I'll dig a little trap door spider cave, bury a tiny house, and go full yokai.
If you're touched by the ouRKaoS, you get 100 years of bad luck for you and your heirs...
When guests over stay their welcome, I get a text message & start stalking MF's.
