nothing has shaken me to my core more than learning that lin manuel miranda not only knows the mcelroy brothers, but directly wrote at least one verse in the hamilton song “we know” with their ‘vocal cadence’ in mind
I can’t stand people who say stuff along the lines of “lol history professors have the most boring job in the world”
like. buddy. have you ever met a history professor??? i’ve witnessed roughly five (5) separate debates that ended in full-on, hoarse-voiced shouting matches and at least one (1) fistfight
All historians are just angry, salty, bitter people who hate people long dead and fight about headcanons.
Historians are condemned to a life of horrors because they look at what people do and are like ‘oh god oh my goood gOd wHY sToP the last time someone did that it ended in 275 years of war and two million and a half dead people and also Poland stopped existing for a while jesus fucking christ dooon’t do thaaat’
Basically being a historian means wanting to bang your head against the nearest wall and yelling at the news on tv 70% of the time and staring into an imaginary camera like you’re in The Office for the other 30% because the thing went exactly like you had foreseen because it had already happened in 1756 but no one listened to you
Look at these curvy letters! Much curvier than most letters, wouldn’t you say? You look, mortal, if ye be. You look, and then you type what you think you see! Is it an “E?” Or is it a “3?” That’s up to ye!
“Wary, Hades knew he should regret this day of hasty decisions. But she was warm. And sweet. And light. He stood, bowing low, bidding his new queen good night. To his surprise, Persephone cupped his face in her rough hands and kissed the Lord of Darkness lightly on the left temple. Under her lips, white stars blossomed in his hair for only a moment. They wilted and fell. And he fell.”

kinda sucks for Zelda that she went to three sacred springs and heard nothing whereas Link can roll up to any dinky old goddess statue and Hylia’s just like, “oh hey man, what’s good, got any orbs?”
