I read somewhere that there were more gue’vesa in the Empire than Tau by now just because humans are so much faster at *procreating*
And what about the Kroot and other auxiliary species? Do they have more inhabited worlds than just their home worlds? Do Tau planets get colonized with just Tau at first or do they just bring multiple species?
I love the semi recent trend in cartoons where the characters play TTRPGs
I was kinda hoping they’d have Marceline and PB be messy exes since this is a prequel, but they have great chemistry in this show so I don’t mind too much
To this day I have no idea what the horse-drawn carriage Brian chased into the kitchen is supposed to be referencing.
I’ve been doing all of them as Arthur because I’m a Completionist and it feels weird that these people would still need help years later.
Even if it’s a perfectly sharp weapon; she was using Valyrian Steel. You need to hit the exact right point between the collar bone and the skull to have a clean cut using just your own strength.
It’s what made the guillotine so revolutionary, it basically took beheadings to a science when it was more art when done with just a guy and a big cutting weapon.
Mary Queen of Scots irl took 2 chops because the executioner accidentally hit the back of her head on the first swing and even the second wasn’t perfectly clean even if it did come off.
So while this is probably symbolism or something I think it’s pretty reasonable all things considered, like has she ever killed someone with her own hands before now?
The original series probably used words that would out of place in a fantasy setting too but idk, maybe I’m just mature enough to be noticed and kinda turned off by it
They’re not a hateful person, I know everyone says that about their friend but they are very analytical and science oriented. So they say stuff like (quoting directly)
“ I think it’s a mental illness, Rather than an identity.”
“Transgender seem like a body dysphoria caused from trauma.” “Transgender people after undoing surgery or hormone replacement theory
Their risk for self harm and suicide doesn’t change, It actually increases post transition”
“Well going back to the whole
People just want to be trans despite coming from a loving family
It doesn’t explain the elevated suicide rate in that population.”
Does anyone have any good sources that I can show them? I really don’t want to cut them off but I don’t know what to say.
I think it makes him really unique among history nerds, that he got into it (academically) primarily through art history. So his speciality is mostly in culture and personalities.
But his Poland video where he completely omits the winged hussars, or ottoman video where he omits the Janissaries were, in my opinion, massive gaping holes.
It’s like talking about British imperial history without mentioning the navy. I get their memed to death but the Winged Hussars MADE the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth the dominant power in Eastern Europe, so much so that they occupied Moscow itself during the Time of Troubles. And Ottoman imperial history is dominated by Janissaries both on and off the battlefield, how they became a major controlling force in Ottoman politics that they essentially controlled multiple Sultans before their dissolution.
Most history nerds do focus too much on the military stuff because we’re little kids who got into history for the cool battles, but they still play an important role in how history developed.
I kinda feel like either literacy rise should be much slower, or maybe shouldn’t be a thing until the latter 1600s.
Without compulsory school systems it was both impossible to get significant parts of the population to be able to read and not really a priority for most states.
Research came from the elite upper classes of cities who could afford to spend time and money on education because they didn’t need to work in Manual labor jobs to live.
And when literacy did rise generally speaking, so did social unrest and activism as people were able to better spread and understand ideas and were able to discuss ideas on things like, how being a serf sucked and maybe shouldn’t exist.
I personally feel like Sakhalin and especially Sicily should only be accessible by ship, troops shouldn’t be able to just walk from there to the mainland, yes this could cause issues for Italian/ Soviet players when the British and Japanese navy cuts them off but I think there could be more elegant ways of stopping that in game than imaginary land bridges.
Maybe shore batteries would require having to have an entire fleet in a crossing before you could stop the owner of the state from sailing?
I don’t like the idea of making one kingdom just hate me forever for seceding
It’s a major reason season 4 was released just online and their budget got slashed
Hackers kept getting them then dumping the episodes from Book 3 online before they even aired on tv
He says it a few times in season 1 and I think in season 2 but after that he pretty much never says it
It reminds me of the Scooby Doo tropes people act like are super common but aren’t really, Velma rarely loses her glasses, Daphne doesn’t get kidnapped that often.
But it’s become a core part of the shows iconography that the show itself even references it multiple times without Hank being the one to say it. Like they’ll have a joke where it’s Boomhauer or Peggy who says it as a subversion.
It’s a good line to show Hank and Bobby’s dynamic, but after Hank, for lack of a better word, matures in their relationship he’d never say to Bobby’s face that he isn’t right.
I still have no idea why Battania does so badly besides them just always being surrounded
It’s slightly fixed in Warsails with the Nords distracting Vlandia and Sturgia but not by much
One of the rare episodes from the era where Peggy was 100% right and everyone else was wrong.
She was trying to help David, this kid that all the teachers, faculty, clubs, even his own mother, gave up on. Because all they cared about was winning State. The fact that even if he made it to the NFL he had no future after that, with how intense the game is most players don’t stay more than a few years.
His mom says it’s ok because he’ll still get into college but having 0 academic abilities he’d get DESTROYED by college classes. And then where would he be?
None of them really cared about him, just that he was going to win games that ultimately don’t really matter.
The part that made me decide I didn’t wanna watch this episode again during rewatches is when the club and his mom tell Hank and Peggy he has mental retardation so is unable to even basic letters or numbers and is basically just a giant toddler. And if my mother was telling strangers I didn’t even know my ABCs I have no idea if I’d ever be able to speak to her again.
I know it’s a cartoon it’s not that serious but stuff like this absolutely happens in places where adults care about nothing besides their schools sport at the expense of the students.
He pushes Fionna and Cake around, makes mean spirited jokes at them like when he faked dying, he even straight up tells her he’s a bad guy.
This early in the series in retrospect I think it was Marceline projecting her own insecurities and negative traits into Marshall, in her first few appearances she was generally an antagonist, she stole Finn and Jake’s home for basically no reason, she straight up almost killed Jake before he put all his blood and organs into his thumb. And then tormented Finn with jokes making him think he was doing evil stuff.
Marceline seems to have decided she was just not a good person, between Ash and the ghosts all being jerks we can kinda see the bad crowd she was running with that made her feel this way
Just thought it was neat
