watching dead boy detectives when you've lived in coastal bc

i love that they have a ship that services a metro area of 2.4 million people & all of southern vancouver island, to depict the ferry to (checks notes) port townsend, wa, pop. 10,388. cannot overstate how incredibly funny the scale is. on a regular day that route has more passengers than the entire population of port townsend. like a title card saying our beloved characters had to take three trains and a regional bus line and then smash cutting to a red london double-decker

that being said. bc ferries both as a crown corporation and as individual vessels is DEFINITELY haunted so this tracks actually

tacitus really woke up one day and said you know who in all of roman history deserves to have a whole book written about them and their deeds? my beloved father-in-law. and then he wrote it

since the cowboy and the samurai were both dying out in the 1800s i want an action adventure historically wildly inaccurate comic about the last cowboy and the last samurai teaming up BUT one of them is gay and the other doesn’t understand what being gay is and there are multiple comedic mishaps resulting from this

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

On one hand you have the hottest, sexiest demagogue this side of the Peloponnese telling you that you want to invade Sicily with your entire army and navy soooo bad and then screwing off to the opposite side the second his life becomes somewhat inconvenient. And also he cut the dicks off of the good luck travel statues.

On the other hand you have these two generals painstakingly inventing a brand new dead corpse that they airdrop on the Spanish coast handcuffed to a briefcase of false invasion plans on the off chance that maybe the Nazis will discover your totally real not fake plans and believe them.

Utter buffoonery is contained in the invasion of Sicily.

Everyone makes a big deal about invading Russia during the winter but no one talks about the Utter Clownery required to invade Sicily literally every time it's happened.

#and by every time i mean the sicilian expedition of 411 BCE and the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943 #operation mincemeat is so funny #and the deherming of the herms?? buffonery #tagamemnon #history #this is just a crossover of my subject areas #classics #ancient history #world war two

Many people these days wondering what to moan when having sex with a Roman senator. Easy. Praenomen and Nomen, so "Lucius Cornelius" - using the Cognomen is a weird fashion of the youth but honestly I could never address him as "Sulla". Hope this helps. Don't worry about the example I used

im going to complain for a sec about something arbitrary but as expected ppl rbing the news abt greece legalising gay marriage and adoption are being so unfunny abt it like "haha werent they always gay since ancient times" or "nice to see greece embracing tradition" straight up saw multiple people make references to aphrodite or the greek gods like can u shut up 😭 its not even funny you dont know anything abt this country

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

I need a way to say this character makes me feel insane amounts of lust but not in a sexual or romantic way

God there's something about the idea that Hector was wearing Achilles's old armor when he faced him to die. when Achilles saw Hector he saw a mirror of himself, and he knew exactly where to aim
