Very Correct!

Very correct!

To add to this, bandits could also be:

- desperate farmers during a bad harvest

- rebels funding their cause

- mercenaries between contracts

- soldiers on campaign, both ally and enemy

- noblemen’s thugs sending a message

- refugees who are completely out of options

Banditry in fantasy and fiction has unfortunately become a sort of shorthand for “low level humanoid enemies you don’t have to feel bad for killing” but it heartens me to see people investing creatively in their settings “bad guys” backstories.

An example of how bandits in fantasy are disconnected from the way real bandits worked is Marion du Faouët, a woman bandit from Brittany in the 18th century.

Bandits in a lot of fantasy are full time bandits. They have no other job, and usually live away from the rest of society.

Marion du Faouët, aside from being a highwaywoman, was a mercer, selling, selling fabrics & cloth.

Because yeah, turn out that there isn't a special group of people called criminals... there is no "criminal society VS honest society", the two are part of a whole.

And fantasy stories should work more on that : seasonal bandits that do crime when they can't do their job. Fishers who do some pirate stuff on the side. Thief guild member that have legitimate job on the side, not just cover.

"Sharing Is Caring"

"Sharing is Caring"

Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.

I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.

This one is Rarity; who is simply fabulous *darling*
