Historical eras you love...

[(Anonymous)]

... whether it's for original fiction or AUs, what period of history do you love reading/watching?

Re: Historical eras you love...

[philstar22]

Anything from the Russian Tzarist era. Ancient Greece/Rome. Actually really anything ancient. I'm really interested in how cultures developed in different parts of the world. Early European history (anything pre-middle ages really). Civil rights era. Late 1700s/early 1800s.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[silverr]

I'll watch historical anything for the costume and setting, but for fiction reading I'd rather have contemporary or future (though I generally don't read fanfic AUs). ~ I'll read historical non-fiction or biography, though.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[tabaqui]

Edwardian/Victorian, the sixties/seventies (particularly anything about Vietnam and the space race), the 1500s (Lady Jane Grey and such), ancient Egypt and Rome, pre 'discovery' Americas.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[type_wild]

ALL OF THEM, up to ca. 1930.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, basically anything from the Crusader era up through to the 1940s. I've a lot of little specialty times and places of interest in that thousand odd years, but I'll take much of anything.

I'm not as fond of ancient world stories, and for some reason I hate Roman AUs in most fandoms. Possibly because a lot of the ones I've come across are shallow slave AUs, I think.

I also don't have a lot of interest in the world wars in and of themselves. Merge them with genres, dieselpunk or weird war or the like, then yes, but straight historical fiction not so much.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[(Anonymous)]

30 Years War. 1830s through the First World War, mostly, except the 1850s and 1860s are a bit dull. Europe between the Wars. Asian history from... I don't know, rise of Islam to about 17th century in general.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[dancingmouse]

My most favorite time period is anywhere between 1400 to early 1900. Renaissance, Baroque, Jacksonian, Antebellum, Victorian, and Edwardian especially.

Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Prehistoric, especially Neanderthal/Early Human.

Re: Historical eras you love...

Ancient Egypt!

Re: Historical eras you love...

[(Anonymous)]

Han China, but there's a serious lack of it once you finish Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[(Anonymous)]

Incas, Middle Ages around the 12th century and UK in the 18th century.

Re: Historical eras you love...

[(Anonymous)]

Anything from the 60s til the 70s, because of the music.

Current TV shows you're watching....

[tabaqui]

What's got you excited?
I just watched both season of 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' and *really* enjoyed it. It was so, so, so fun, i was literally 'lol'ing.

I also just watched the Norwegian Netflix offering of 'Beforeigners' - WOW that is cool! I hope they make a second season for sure.

Re: Current TV shows you're watching....

[type_wild]

I finally got onto this streaming thing when my cable offered HBO, and I'm finding What We Do in the Shadows to be an utter delight.

Re: Current TV shows you're watching....

[(Anonymous)]

My issue with Maisel is that I'm just fundamentally uninterested in watching shows about failing or complicated marriages? I love all the other parts of the show, though. Just, some of the drama bits are a turnoff.

Main thing I'm still keeping up with is Evil, which is OK. Has a good balance of fun creepy stuff and goofy dumb stuff to laugh at. Great cast.

Re: Current TV shows you're watching....

[philstar22]

I was rewaching Whose Line is it Anyway. That's on the computer that is in the shop, though. So the past couple days I started a Doctor Who rewatch from the beginning of New Who. When I get my old computer back, I'm also excited to give His Dark Materials a try. I like fantasy, and I did enjoy the first book. I miss good fantasy tv.

Re: Current TV shows you're watching....

[(Anonymous)]

Alongside "Evil" in terms of new stuff, I've also been watching a few interesting docuseries lately, There's a fascinating one on Starz I've been following called Leavenworth. It's a five-part series about the case of soldier Clint Lorance, and the political controversy that swirled around his case. I'd never heard this story before now, and all the different perspectives on what went down are very interesting.

And it's from a couple months back, but Sundance had a good docuseries recently called No One Saw a Thing, about the 1981 murder of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri, that I found intriguing as well.

I'm also enjoying my regular shows like "The Good Doctor" and HTGAWM. This is the latter's final season, so I'm curious to see how they'll wrap things up.

Re: Current TV shows you're watching....

[nightscale]

For regular TV I'm watching His Dark Materials every Sunday, I like what it's doing so far but I'll have my full thoughts on it when the season is over.

Finished all of s4 of She-Ra which I had a blast with, I'm really interested to see how they'll tie everything up and finish it, as we're down to the last 13 eps(unsure if they'll release them as a whole 13 ep season or split them in half so the show has 6 seasons in total)

And I'm currently working through a K-Drama on Netflix called Rookie Historian: Goo Hae-Ryung, which is about a women who becomes a female historian in ye olde Korea. The characters are fun, I like the main lady a lot and while the tonal-whiplash between the comedy and more srs business political plot is a little jarring it's still really quite entertaining. Also they keep playing Flight of the Bumblebees for some reason during some Dramatic moments and I have no idea why, but it's fantastic.

Season 2 of Dream Gardens.

Art Theft!

I hope they find it obviously, but while I like the message of it, I'm not too torn up about it. Like it's just a golden toilet, it's not specially made or anything. If it had been a painting or sculpture I would be more shook up, but meh.

Do you ever just think “I am too old to be fucking up like this...”

[(Anonymous)]

I looked someone slightly famous up on Facebook (I didn’t have to go plumbing around for them, I just put in their name and there they were) and sent them a message basically saying “hi, sorry if this is weird, we don’t know each other, but I really want to tell you I think you’re awesome, have a nice day, bye” and I don’t think they ever actually saw it because my messenger app never showed their picture next to the message to show it was read, just a check mark to show it was sent...but about 2 weeks later they deleted their account and I have a sinking feeling it’s because they did see my message and thought it was creepy. (Or, better scenario that would still suck: they saw it and realized how easy they were to find, and deleted not because I bothered them but because there are some really toxic people in the fandom who they wanted to make sure didn’t find them the same way.)

I feel stupid/embarrassed for possibly being a weirdo even though I should be old enough to function in fandom, and a teensy bit sad because they didn’t reply even though I knew they probably wouldn’t, because I really like them.

Lightning beat the Rangers 9-3 tonight!!!

That is all

I really want to go over there and punch someone

[philstar22]

My neighbor's car alarm has been going off for 55 minutes. I can hear it over my ear plugs. It is 1AM and I just want to sleep.
