Consider:
Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
Yeah pretty much. Now I want a movie about this.
Don’t be afraid to make your notes be funny. If writing stuff like “Priests weren’t supposed to have side hoes because God was their main hoe” helps you remember that Priests were banned from having concubines, then go ahead and write that shit. Live your life.
Absolutely a great tip. This is exactly what I do in all my History classes; I write my notes as informally as possible and any time I see an opportunity for a good joke, I take it. It’s worked out very well so far.
DON’T EVEN FUCKING TALK TO ME ABOUT THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA
FUCK NOW I’M UPSET
Oh yeah, that tome of history compiled by a Mesopotamian priest on the History of the World, supposedly spanning back 40,000 years of history?
Fucking gone. Gone forever.
I wonder how far back civilization was set by that?
this is from the internet, so take it with a grain, but here it is
Pain. Such intense pain.
Tears are real.
FUCKING
You know you’re a history fan when that graph sends you into a seething rage at how wrong it is.
Black History Month!
My favorite parts of history (as might be obvious from my choice of subject matter when making books) are the ones that fall into easily-categorized genres, genres with associated visual iconographies. This is the sort of stuff I loved as a kid: pirates, knights, cowboys, explorers, romans and Egyptians and flying aces. Stuff you could find featured in a bag of toys or a generic costume.
For Black History Month, I thought I might visit some of these adventure-leaning periods and pick a few historic black people from those eras to draw, just for fun. If you’re doing a project or report in school this month, you could do worse than to tackle one of these toughies. Feel free to share some of these with youngsters that you know. And call them youngsters, they LOVE that.
Reblogging for anyone (youngsters or oldsters) who is looking for some starting points for research, year-round!
This is barely an article, because it’s mostly just a link to another, amazing article with minimum reflection involved. But I wanted you to be very aware that this does exist: How I used lies about a cartoon to prove history is meaningless on the internet
A bored teenager used the power of bad wiki editing practices to cause the entire internet to become infected with a stupid lie that stayed…
I Didn’t Post in April…
For the first time in my blog’s entire history, I didn’t post for the entire month of April 2022. Gosh, that sucks. Lately, it’s been a single post every month, though, so it’s not like it’s been active anyway. But now thanks to strange creative burnout and a busy schedule, I finally missed my first month.
I’d say sorry but I don’t think there are exactly avid readers of every blog post I make,…
Let’s scoop harder with the new Link Scoop!
I’ll provide you with all the stories from around the internet I’ve been discovering, and some fun bonus stuff here and there too. Cool stuff from this series of tubes we call home.
So let’s scoop harder right into today’s links.

In my massive Rareware Alternate History storyline, Jet Force Gemini played a…
I’ve always wondered, what if Nintendo bought Rare in the Gamecube era? What would Nintendo’s dire Gamecube release been like? What would Nintendo be like today?
That’s what I’m gonna write about today, in the form of an alternate history document. We can pretend some other universe had all this happen, and imagine the fallout side effects. Good and bad both. But of course, as an alternate…
On 7/12/2010, a boy by the name of Equius Zahhak went missing in Austin, Texas.
The prime suspect in the incident was one Andrew Hussie.
This is the chronicle of real events that have been lost to history. Yes he really looked like that https://mspfa.com/?s=50510&p=1EQUIQ
Follow for Equiquest fan adventure updates or something shit baby I dunno
the classic fan adventure is back suddenly and surprisingly
It’s taboo to say these feared words, but I’ll admit that Civ is too long. Sometimes way too long. And unless you drastically alter your playstyle or use certain mods, it’s very difficult to get it shorter.
A few weeks ago, I was really getting into the Tides of History podcast’s overview of the ancient world, and somehow that got me playing Civ VI one weekend night.
If you know me, you know I…
We look back at the past decade of American history and remember, oh wow, gay marriage was only legalized like five years ago. The entire culture has changed around gay marriage so rapidly that it’s hard to remember that, in 2010, only a couple of states allowed it. Being LGBT+, even in the most open of online communities, wasn’t generally something accepted.
I think it’s awesome.
Gay…

Wait, there’s physical copies of Fallout Equestria? That’d have to be massive.
The first run was five hardbacks of progressively increasing girth. The stack is hefty, but the books are comfortable. Each chapter has chapter art too, which I consider a plus in all fantasy books.
Later runs were single-book softcover monstrosities. I think I saw another five-volume hardback run recently, but I’m not deeply involved in the fandom anymore.
The second print run was two volumes, hardback, with jackets. Dunno about any subsequent runs.
I still think the 5-volume split was the best option. It’s a big damn story.
(For anyone who hasn’t read it: yes, that’s a functional replica of the main character’s go-to weapon. No, I didn’t customize it like that; I bought it from the person who did.)
anon PLEASE tell me your teacher is the author of this
Ok, I Kind of hate that I know this, but I’m pretty sure that anon’s teacher did NOT write the books the others are showing off. He wrote the darker, edgier and somehow even longer fanfic OF that fanfic called Project Horizons.
Original Fallout Equestria was written by someone known as Kkat who I’m 90% sure is a woman and the story only has some PG-13ish scenes at worst (you know, aside from the violence and gore that comes with a Fallout setting.) Project Horizons was written by a guy known as Somber, who I remember him mentioning in the post-chapter notes that he got fired for failing the wrong student once and the fic itself includes multiple explicit sex scenes.
it’s important to me u know what the 3rd printing looks like. please note the gilded pages
one of tumblr’s secret trump cards is its ability to deliver absolutely OBLITERATING gut punches like this post without any context or warning whatsoever
