Ancient Greek Tragedies suck because a lot of the time when you think you’re getting Married, you’re actually getting Dead.

@revolutionary-pirate congrats on finishing your projects! How about a No-Pants Flaming Shots Party (drawing) to celebrate?

So... um... I just learned that Oscar Wilde was something like 6′ 3 and... I... what?!? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I just assumed he was, like, your average small poet? The guy could have played a wicked round of basketball!

Anywho, happy birthday Oscar. I’ll never get over the ‘Ballad of Reading Gaol‘. You did good. :)

John Laurens.

The beautiful, reckless, brave, nature-loving, butt-kicking

Son, student, soldier.

You lived, you loved, you fought like hell.

And now we tell your story, and hope to do it justice.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Headcanon #1

In many places where a lot of different languages are spoken, especially trading locations (like ports or big cities) often the languages sort of mash together to form a dialect or ‘pidgin’ of their own using phrases, words and accents from the different languages. Growing up in St. Croix, which was an important stop for trade, little Alexander head and spoke a lot of the local trading dialect, which he tried so hard to stay away from in order to seem “gentlemanly” once he moved to America. Sometimes, however, when he lets his guard down (talking in his sleep, in battle, etc.) he’ll curse/compliment/babble to himself and Laurens and Lafayette will just look at him like ?????

Happy Birthday Thomas Jefferson!

Two things:

1. Does anyone else find it amusing that at some point in his life Thomas Jefferson must have celebrated his birthday on Friday the 13th?

2. Since he invented the swivel chair, it is actually possible from a historical standpoint that he did the “I’ve been expecting you...” *chair slowly swivels around* *evil grin* thing when someone walked into his office.

3. I bet that person was Hamilton.
