everybody always talks about how them there's fans are all either teenagers or parents, but where are my peeps in their mid 20s who were probably just a bit too old to be watching horrible histories when it was airing but watched it anyway and now realise you had a very different experience with the show than the actual target audience did?

#like #i was 11-15 when it was airing #and i feel like it has affected many aspects of my life #which it would not have affected at all had i been #say #5-10 years old watching it #because like #i was the age when 1. they start telling you to think seriously about what you want to do in life #and 2. weird hormonal stuff starts happening #i have said before that i became a historian because of bob hale #and while that is a joke i actually do think it's true #because i've grown up to become a 20something version of ol' bobsy (and i apologise to all of my students lmao) #but rewatching the series as an adult also gives me a bit of whiplash because i now realise #that this show is probably why i think people in period dress are incredibly attractive #and why i can laugh at really morbid stuff
