The MC and his compatriots are only a step above living on the streets so I doubt they can afford it. That, and they live in Whitechapel, one of the poorest areas in London during the time period it was set in.

I think it would be fairly funny to have the MC tell someone from that timeline that their culture is gross for thinking bathing is bad, and that person just goes, "What are you talking about, we just can't afford it."

Now that you put it that way, that would be pretty funny.

i mean, cant they just like... bathe in rivers or smth?

How close is the nearest river to where you live? And how clean is that water?

Realistically, if they cared enough they could wipe themselves down with a wet cloth or abrasive, and that would be a fine way to stay clean. It's just that soap is really helpful for killing germs and smells.

They take washtub sponge baths but it's just cold water and maybe some perfume. Soap is pretty hard to get so its unlikely to be used. The nearest river isn't a good idea either because it's filled with tons of dead babies. look it up.

i wouldnt touch a single drop of water from the thames if i had the option

@TheDerpieGod the Thames ran brown and black in medieval times.

@Paul_Tromba How important is the bath scene?

It isn't. That's why I'm questioning it. There is a scene later on where the characters bathe in a healing fairy spring but that isn't for a while.

So how historically accurate do you want your story to be? Because, for the record, we can all agree that medieval times is crap.

Also, fairy spring, it is magical and if MC pulls the whole "disgusting" logic, tell him that the shit's magic. It can be fairy piss and it is magic.

Basically, everything that happened in our history happened. However, magic exists and so do all the worlds pantheons in the form of immortals who just happened to be considered gods by the locals.

The team takes a trip back in time to 480 AD and where they meet Oberon and the MC gets beaten to hell before taking a bath in a healing spring. It's just a hot spring that has magical healing glow moss growing in it.

... I feel that I have seen the premise a bunch of times... so what's this again? MC in medieval London talking to Beowulf and ended up he has to take a nosedive into Nimue's bathwater?

EDIT: Oh. So why would MC complain again? I mean, he can snark and that might be fun.

Nah, MC joins the knights of the round table, stops child abuse with the power of murder, fights in a couple battles, and is taught how to use a sword by an immortal with a nature fetish.

Also, the knights of Camelot are written like a slice of life magic knights story because it best fits the original stories

A couple of things comes up my mind with nature fetish, streaking in the woods and sticking your knob into/ rubbing your coochie on trees.

Basically, I made it canon that all Fae are different hybrid children of Oberon and whatever animal or plant he happened to stick his cock in so that I could explain where a good chunk of the world's monsters came from.

Oberon is Zeus, except Zeus has standards like sticking to human females while Obby can jizz on a rock and a golem is born.

Now I am imagining Oberon by Nobuyuki Sugou gripping his meatstick and painting the field white.

Zeus is also real but he was killed during the age of gods and faded into myth just like most of the warlord-like immortals. Also, Zeus knocked people up as a duck so I don't really see the standards.
