All of this eventually ends with a Corsican man who wasn't as short as everyone thinks he was crowning himself Emperor in 1804 and drawing the country into a series of increasingly costly military campaigns, so perhaps infighting is not the answer? Food for thought.

And the follow-up, the Thermadorian Reaction, which also did not go well: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermid...

Genuinely suggest reading about Robespierre's last days: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximil...

Look, in your defense I did this a few months ago with Umamusume so you're fine-

My bio on Tumblr even says "born 1989" in it. I was 22 when this person was born. They massively failed a spot check and assumed somehow that I was also a teenager.

My blog is older than they are. I've had it since 2009.

Unfortunately I have had to use said degree in really, really infuriating ways since 2016 but here we are. Sigh.

The tl;dr is that Sharpe got me into military history and I discovered that G-burg actually allowed me to focus on it and even minor in one specific conflict so I did. Sharpe is set during the Napoleonic Wars, but having a degree in a specific war was too much to pass up so I went for it.

It's genetic. I was born predisposed to being better at trains than the average human. I came out of the womb like this. The vaccines just helped me stay alive long enough to develop immunity and be able to type this at age 36, an age many of my ancestors likely did not reach.

I am autistic. I am not diseased, I am not contagious, and I am not ruining my family's life by existing. None of us do that. We're just born, and no one can consent to being born because they aren't able to produce complex thoughts yet, so why are we scapegoated for being brought into existence?

The PATH was holding my train momentarily and I make that joke every single time

Chiitan is out there doing it for real, you don't have to borrow the character for anything. That unhinged little thing loves trans people and it's so, so nice to see.
