Every time you add another punic war to this post a time traveller goes back and makes it real for the bit

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.

[muffinlance]

As the game goes on you have to cook for fewer and fewer people but their orders--and the ingredients they bring you--become increasingly unhinged

Decided to watch Pyramids of Mars after Legend of Ruby Sunday's Big Bad Reveal; and right out the gate there's a character called Ibrahim (played by a Brit in brown face but we're glossing over that for now) who's tied up with the Big Bad's plot

Like there's no way they dropped Colonel Ibrahim in there as buddy buddy with the Doctor starting with the 60th anniversary without some kind of plan to make a connection that's a little too on the nose

[wm177]

There's also a dude named Doctor Warlock, this is HP Lovecraft Fan Fiction that Tom Baker stumbled into

[wm177]

Ok and they did the "roll up to the Companion's present time to see what happens if we don't stop the God running amok" thing that they also did in the Devil's Chord

RTD wasn't subtle

rich people are so boring. Private jets for intra-US travel? if i was a multimillionaire I’d have my own old timey gilded train car and take my sweet ass time going everywhere. sorry, you won’t see my ass for 5-7 business days while I’m going through the mountains with no cell service but a well paid private chef that specializes in gluten free cuisine, bye

[iridessence]

wild. so much missed opportunity

[madnessfromthemountains]

Never mind the train I’m going by dirigible!!

[scientia-rex]

Oh my god don’t tempt Taylor to get into dirigibles, we’re going to have SO many catastrophic wrecks raining fire from the heavens

[cowboydeanwinchester]

the thing about me is i get hannibal and hamilton confused

[cowboydeanwinchester]

yeah so i just thought to myself, it’s wild how there’s a musical about the guy who eats people

[cowboydeanwinchester]

THATS WHAT SWEENEY TODD IS ABOUT?

[cowboydeanwinchester]

the most fucked up fictional universe is all those mouse movies where mice have a secret society underneath human society where they’re fighting mouse versions of the same wars and have the same religious oppression and each have a human version of themselves

[thestuffedalligator]

Why does Mouse Victorian London have a military campaign in Mouse Afghanistan in The Great Mouse Detective?

What does Mouse England gain from the continued occupation of Mouse Afghanistan

One Piece boldly asks the question "What If a Found Family Trope Consisted of Eldritch Horrors with the Personalities of Hanna Barbera Characters and they Happen to be Pirates"

And I think that's beautiful

"kill them with kindness" wrong. mongoose in the desk drawer, inflatable octopus in the closet, boxing kangaroo attack, magic cowbell. egg.

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

[satusepiida]

His ghost is setting those cars on fire actually

I hadn’t really considered “the agnostic demigod of electromagnetism is the reason Musk’s companies fail” before, but I like the concept.

[block-swing-perry]

im walking my ass to stores and they dont have a clue

[block-swing-perry]

no one stopping me from buying a little treat. (the treat is a bowl)

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I'm in my mid-30s and I still can't get over how I bought a chainsaw from the hardware store and have been using it to chop down tree branches and nobody stopped me.

[block-swing-perry]

hey wait a minute........i could also buy a chainsaw

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

They just let you do it

[autisticandroids]

every post i see that's like "if you're scared of being like [bad person] that's means you're better than them and won't be like them" and it's like. lmao. my dad used to have crying sessions where he would confess his fear of being like his mother and causing me to grow up to hate him. usually after he did something fucking awful, to redirect the attention to his own pain. the girl who sexually assaulted me had panic attacks sometimes about the idea of maybe being a rapist, making it impossible to set sexual boundaries with her without her freaking out. whether you're afraid of being some kind of bad person has basically no bearing on whether you are that way

[autisticandroids]

LITERALLY ANXIETY ISN'T AN INHERENTLY MORAL SOURCE OF SELF-CRITICISM. BEING AFRAID THAT YOU ARE BAD DOES NOT MAKE YOU GOOD IT JUST MAKES YOU ANXIOUS!!!

[autisticandroids]

#as a person with anxiety I find anxiety is often counterproductive to self-reflection#because you’re too busy spiraling over Bad Thing You Did to actually do anything about it#you need to break that tunnel vision in order to actually make the change#i don’t like to sit with my anxieties for that reason#sitting there feeling guilty over what I did doesn’t do any good#it just made me and anyone I hurt feel worse#striving for actual change and making amends is the best way forward#but you have to break the doom spiral in order to be clearheaded enough to do that#sa tw

literally you get it.

what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.

Hollywood has no concept of what 5th century Romans looked like. If I'm watching a movie about the final days of the Western Roman Empire, I should be seeing zero togas. It's like if you made a movie about the Trump administration, you wouldn't have people dressed like the founding fathers. That's how wrong it is.

This is what 5th century Romans looked like:

I think the problem is that pop culture has this theme park version of history that treats time periods like distinct worlds with no fluidity between them. In Roman Times, people dressed like this vs Medieval Times when people dressed like that. But that is obviously not how time works. The end of the Western Roman Empire led directly into and overlapped with the Middle Ages, and the aesthetics we associate with medieval Europe were already long established.

On a related note, the "barbarians" didn't dress like you think they did either. Less of this:

More of this:

(Art by Angus McBride)

Again, the end of the Western Roman Empire was the beginning of medieval Europe, and it already looked like it.

The notable exception was the Franks, who apparently really did dress like that:

There really is an exception to everything, and it's usually the French.
