Just seen this still from the next Outlander series and Lord preserve mine eyes.
How quickly they forget
After doing a quick reverse image search, I’ve determined that the redcoats in the top image are (probably) not from Outlander. This appears to be an old photo of some reenactors that happen to be at a location that is currently being used for filming. Still quite horrendous, though.
Oh no.
I’m gonna fucking kill myself.
This might be THE single most incorrect thing I have seen in my entire life. Fuck me.
The Death of Colonel Ledyard by David R. Wagner. The 40th Foot storm Patriot-held Fort Griswold in 1781.
Today’s anniversary. The 54th were there too, and seemingly had white bearskins.
The 54th at no point had white bearskins. I think that addition was an artistic liberty on the part of the artist, who probably found out about the 40th having white bearskins and wanted to include it in some way, but thought the popinjay facings looked cooler. Or they just didn’t do their research at all.
If anyone wants to experience some absolute RevWar banter* I highly recommend visiting the comments on Don Troiani’s page on Facebook.
*by banter I mean the absolute shite Don has to put up with. It’s a mission to tell if some of the comments are ironic or not.
My personal favorite is this one. Where do people even come up with these notions?
Amazing.
I still have PTSD from this.
So I deep-fried a pic of Charles O’Hara from The Patriot that @bantarleton took and it is without a doubt the single most cursed thing I have ever made.
How do I get money to get commissions
I hear the Fighter’s Guild is recruiting. Not a bad way to make some money… if you’ve got the stones for it…
Lowkey forgot I still had this blog. Anyway, here’s an updated look at my WW1 kit - now with Lewis Gun!
A good, thorough example of the Manual Exercise of 1764, the weapons drill utilised by the British and many Revolutionary units during the American Revolutionary War. Also ft. the voice of @angryredcoat

can you imagine what someone who has no idea what video is being referenced must think of this
Been playing a lot of AC Odyssey lately and in particular I’m really enjoying the photo mode - the way this NPCs robes were reflecting off the water really caught my eye.
54th Regiment of Foot, 1794. Now that’s what I call a “campaign look.”
An unidentified portrait of an older field or battalion company officer from the 5th Regiment of Foot, circa 1769-74. The 5th Foot played an important role in the American War of Independence on the North American mainland from 1775 to 1778, and then on St. Lucia in the West Indies. The artist is possibly John Trotter.
Goals
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model
It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
I will fucking die on this hill.
