types of history buff generalisations*
world war 2: -thinks they’re a lot tougher than they actually are -tend to be really niche about one very, very specific aspect -really sarcastic sense of humour -acts like the war’s still on -very bitter about the 2001 pearl harbor movie -wakes up in a cold sweat to boogie woogie bugle boy & the in the mood intro -their fashion taste is either impeccable or an atrocity to god there is no in-between
world war 1: -weird and quiet -drinks cheap booze even if they can have/afford better -hoarders -would sell soul & firstborn for a pickelhaube -knows lots of really obscure facts -underlying & unexplainable 19th century german history fetish -copes with problems by turning them into memes & shitty jokes -bad puns galore
classics: -come off really sensible & serious but h2g has the most perverted sense of humour out of everyone -probably hiding some dark shit -either really enthusiastic about homoeroticism or ignores it completely -really defensive about their favourite society/period -a lot of tension between the roman buffs & the greek ones??? -latin’s not dead, it just smells funny
cold war/vietnam war: -probably either a communist or has a hard-on for JFK -world war 2 buff’s edgy sibling -usually really into guns or at least knows a fuckload about them. may also be really into guns but know jack shit about them, too -gets into a lot of internet fights -so many conspiracy theories -their jokes make literally no sense to anyone else -has a lot to say about the 2k16 presidential race -really political in general tbh -will wear military surplus uniforms as streetwear -cool taste in sunglasses tho
medieval europe: -goes ham on fantasy or drags it within an inch of its life -gets asked about king henry viii way too much -warped & morbid sense of humour -cheerfully cynical about everything -can slice you in half with their writing -eternal academic 1v1 in the pit w/ each other -holds personal grudges against someone who died like 900 years ago -but also will die in the gutter for someone who died like 900 years ago -complains about rain & cold weather but actually doesn’t mind it
*I do not mean any offence by these, and please feel free to add/specify/correct/etc! I’ve obviously only covered a small range of eras because these are the ones I have read & interacted the most with. Also, these are simply generalisations based on what I’ve personally seen & weren’t written to vague abt anybody. Please add if you think of anything else!

What I love about Alice Cooper is that he basically marketed himself as the devil and had insane shit like guillotines and electric chairs and live snakes onstage but then also wrote really schmaltzy jazz ballads and put songs from fucking West Side Story on a hard rock album
