List your favorite things like those kindergarten activities. Favorite song, color, game, hell even what you want to be when you grow up, that'd be funny.

okay! :) (just followed "kindergarten icebreaker" google search lol) my birthday is december 12, but im switching it to december 1st next year so itll be farther away from christmas. also jade birthday woah i have a younger brother and a distant older sister. i have seven pets!! three cats at moms house, and two cats and two dogs at dads house. my favorite color used to be black, then navy blue, then off-white, and now its neon green! my favorite song is fox's wedding by the clouds. i found out about it after my alexa didnt recognize the vocaloid foxes wedding and played this instead!! its really good and i like to imagine different animations and amvs to it.

my favorite game is a 3ds game called fantasy life!! it was like my 4th biggest special interest and then i lost all my data!! :(( nobody knows about it cause nintendo marketed it so badly but heres the rom link in case you want to play it! https://romsfun.com/roms/3ds/fantasy-life.html

ive been thinking about what i want to do as a job since its only like what,, four years away? thats wild. if i dont do college i mean. but ummm... in an ideal world, id be a youtuber or animator or something, but in this world that kind of stuff wont sustain me financially. so ill probably just do graphic design or something at the music store my dad works at

tell me if the green is hard to read on light mode or if the font is weird. i wont use it again! :)

Locas then and now: Maggie and Hopey, heroines of the Jaime Hernandez segments of LOVE AND ROCKETS, as teenage punks in 1985 (with Izzy and Penny) and as middle-aged women in 2023.

I think the part where lisa is like "you probably didn't even drive back when you were alive. you probably rode on one of those bicycles with the big stupid wheel in the front" and the creature looks at her and she's like "you did" is really funny

#she's so rude. I love her #personally I think he died around 1889 at around 19 because I like the idea that he came back a century after death #so if that's about when he died he would've been around to see both penny farthings and the beginning of commercial cars #take my headcanon with a grain of salt though because there's probably a more accurate way to figure out when exactly he lived and died #I've just only seen the movie once lol #lisa frankenstein #lisa swallows #the creature #creature swallows #EDIT apparently he died 1837 so he would not have ever seen one of those #look at this guy. he doesn't even know what a bicycle is

King Stephen 12th Century Rare Penny Hoard Found in England

An unnamed metal detectorist recently discovered a scarce collection of 12th-century silver pennies near the village of Wymondham in the county of Norfolk in eastern England.

This valuable cache of coins included seven pieces minted during the reign of King Stephen and two more dated to the reigns of Stephen’s successors, Henry II and III.

A grandson of William the Conqueror, Stephen took the throne on the death of King Henry I. However most of his reign was spent in a bitter civil war between him and his rival for the throne, Henry’s daughter Matilda.

The find is made up of two pennies, three cut halfpennies and two cut quarters of pennies from Stephen’s reign, as well as two cut quarters of short cross pennies from Henry II and Henry III’s reigns.

The discovery of pennies dating back to King Stephen’s reign is especially noteworthy, as these silver pieces are among the hardest to find of all medieval coins.

The Norfolk Historic Environment Service’s numismatist (coin expert) Adrian Marsden announced the discovery of this remarkable collection of rare coins.

In an interview with the BBC, expressed his opinion that the coins minted during King Stephen’s time had been carried together inside a coin purse, while the other two silver pieces had been lost separately at a later time by another individual.

“I suspect this is a purse loss because you’ve got chopped halves and quarters. With a hoard, you hide the best coins you’ve got,” Dr Marsden said.

The Norman Conquest in 1066 destroyed Anglo-Saxon England’s “very monetised and sophisticated economy… setting the country back at least 100 years,” he said.

When money was scarce in the 11th and 12th centuries, pure silver pennies were crudely chopped into pieces of varying sizes to “reinflate” the money supply (put more money in circulation). Because new coins were not being minted in large quantities during King Stephen’s 12th-century reign, the newly discovered coins are an unusual and thus valuable discovery, even in their less-than-perfect condition.

ngl one of my issues with gothic horror in fandom - not as a genre itself - is you get people who are like "um, actually, this is not accurate to the era" and like. babygirl. ghosts are pretend. hope this helps.

#flashbacks to when I would watch Penny Dreadful #and people like well this is not true! and it's like. pal. buddy. there is a whole-ass frankenstein walking around. #the gothic horror setting is a VIBE it's not a history project. this isn't turn of the century london or new york it's newfaire get with it #candela obscura spoilers #by implication

what is it with British ppl being like “we like this one character so much that we’re just gonna keep letting different ppl act them over decades”

#I mean if I had a penny for every British character that was played by many different ppl for like half a century #I’d have 2 nickels but it’s weird that it happened twice

It's out of character that Tobirama didn't invent frag grenades

#who invents INFINITE BOMBS before just putting an explosive tag in a jar of pennies #the jar of pennies would be more effective! shapnel is what's damaging about explosives not fire! #smh kishi clearly knows nothing about the history of effective anti-personnel warfare #please understand that's tongue in cheek and i don't actually expect that from nart #nart opinions #but fr fr frag grenades date back to 10th century China! they're not out of reach for nart tech #senju tobirama

Specialist subjects

@postmodernau tagged me to list five topics i can talk about for an hour without preparing any material.

This may be slightly cheating as my job often involves talking at length so I'm an excellent bullshitter but

Leverage (the original season)

The 18th Century Lunar society and it's impact on science and education

Parallels between Satine's Mandalore and Medieval Iceland

Knitting (naturally)

The Summers-Grey family tree, or: How did we end up with Cable?

Tagging anyone who'd like to it, and anyone who wants me to discuss any of this at more length
