There was a short form video I saw somewhere about how bartenders in fantasy universes gotta have a thick handbook with every species' legal drinking age listed
it's a medieval settings, the only limitations for you getting ale is if you have the coin for it
I mean, the local lord might decide they want to be all proper and not sinful and ban children drinking (not working tho, kids yearn for the mines)
sober children will want an education instead, and educated children grow up to be rebellious adults
...you say about a comic in which the human character has a hoodie and a cellphone.
She appears to be a dwarf, but yeah
Actually, good point, fantasy doesn't equal medieval. In fact, a lot of the fantasy universes I've encountered in fiction are closer to post-apocalypse (ancient magic artefacts of long lost prosperous civilization, forgotten secrets of the arcane arts and so on).
And honestly it's cleaner than the water in that period.
I know the one you're talking about. Can't find the video, but it's one of the ones of the kiwi dude who reads Tumblr posts. Great concept, honestly
