helloo since we're on the topic: top historical fiction (or adjacent) ? can be any time period I just really love your taste in shows/games/etc and am always on the lookout for history inspired media !
thank you!!! im rly glad im like. inspiring other ppl to engage w things im insane abt hudofajsdfdassfsad. anyways. i will probably expand that list bc i literally forgot every single thing i ever read. also i havent watched that many movies so far
ancient times: i havent really watched a lot of movies/series set in ancient times so far :(
rome HBO (2005-2007) (tv series) - OF COURSE. i personally think its one of the best series ever made. they combine political, miliatry history with the lives of every day people in an incredible way. they never let you once engage with the series through modern lenses. according to my teacher (a historian, archeologist & self described 'romaphile') its incredibly historically accurate, mostly the clothing, set designs, characterization, military practices, etc. except for the things they straight up made up, of course.
i really enjoyed gladiator (2000), i think its a masterpiece.
prince of egypt (1998) i guess?
all the asterix movies of course, all the animated ones and most of the live actions. but i wouldnt really call it historical fiction
ok i havent actually finished watching it for now but sebastiane (1976) - an erotic, x rated, gay interpretation of the martyrdom of st sebastian. its in latin also.
wait i cant believe i forgor about assassin's creed odyssey - so far the only one ive played. its so fun and incredibly immersive visually. especially pour moi who cries into the pillow about how ill never experience the ancient world. also you can b a faggot which is always fun. i have things to say about their portrayal of same-sex sexuality and slavery in classical greece but i get why they did that considering its supposed to like. appeal to a lot of people, and a more "historically accurate" portrayal (for example of pederasty or how common slavery was etc.) would b v difficult for a lot of their target audience. alas.
medieval and early modern era:
the name of the rose (1986) - my medieval history teacher literally showed us bits of this movie to teach us about monasteries and monks fhdosiasdjasd.
the borgias (2011-2013) - incredibly messy, lots of political intrigue, and so so fun to watch. about the history of the borgia family. filled to the brim with drama.
the three musketeers (1993) - my favorite adaptation, also coincidentally the one i grew up on. casting tim curry as richelieu was genius. he slays so hard.
i also like bbc's the musketeers (2014-2016) - a neat little series. very fun and entertaining to watch.
outlaw king (2018) - like i dont think most ppl heard of this movie. its about robert the bruce's fight to reclaim the throne of scotland. starring chris pine
vikings (2013-2020) - its fun. i havent watched the entire series tho. dont expect anything resembling historical accuracy
the northman (2022) - you will see something resembling historical accuracy
mihai viteazul (michael the brave) (1971) - a fun movie. very much romanian propaganda tho.
1670 (2023-) - such a fun series!!! incredible cast, shows respect to the actual history and the lives of historical people. really cute and funny.
caravaggio (1986) - a biopic about caravaggio.
wait i also forgor about pentiment - an intriguing, immersive, and incredibly beautiful video game! it has a lot of 'the name of the rose' vibes, with it being a medieval murder mystery taking place in a monastery. its incredibly touching and made me cry, and in the last few years i very rarely cry. also im 99% sure its an indie game? go support the creators!
vaguely-medieval/early modern fantasy:
mirror mirror (2012) - a retelling of snow white. a very fun movie imo, with incredible costume design. julia roberts plays the evil queen and she SLAYS. armie hammer is unfortunately in that movie.
stardust (2007) - one of my fave movies growing up. more modern-inspired but still.
the green knight (2021) - controversial i know but i actually loved this movie! i liked it both as a standalone movie but moreso as a 21st century adaptation to sir gawain and the green knight.
galavant (2015-2016) - !!!!!!! one of the most series ever! they manage to tackle such difficult concepts and conversations with a hilarious wit. so fun to watch. i listen to a lot of the songs still, and rewatch every once in a while.
disenchantment (2018-2023) - very fun to watch, especially the first season.
i also really liked the novel uprooted by naomi novik. its a polish-inspired fantasy.
modern era:
killers of the flower moon (2023) - of course. a masterpiece
aferim! (2015) - a romanian movie set in 19th century wallachia, about two officers, a father and son, who were sent by a nobleman to retrieve an escaped enslaved romani man. a lot of the people in the comments were calling the movie humorous and funny, maybe im missing smth (as im watching with subtitles n dont understand the original language) but it was a very difficult watch for me??
the handmaiden (2016) - need i say more
black sails (2014-2017) - a prequel to the famous novel 'treasure island'. not an easy series to watch. incredibly good.
the favourite (2018) - need i say more pt 2
the rabbi's cat (le chat du rabbin) (2011) - animated movie set in early 20th century algeria. a rabbi's cat learns to talk overnight.
the nice guys (2016) - a fun murder mystery set in the 1970s
o brother, where art thou (2000) - a retelling of the odyssey set in the southern us in the 1930s
victor/victoria (1982) - set in early 20th century paris. julie andrews pretends to be a man and takes on a job as a drag queen. extremely fun, extremely gay movie.
lady chatterley's lover (2022) - very much porn for moms but it was a nice watch imo
amulet (2020) - set in like. idk. sometime in the 20th century. this is a horror movie, deals a lot with misogyny, sa, and so on. i really like it, personally. a lot of people, mostly weird men, dont tho.
the great (2020-2023) - i have mixed feelings about this show. on the one hand, its really fun to watch. on the other hand, its basically ofmd for girls who have public mental breakdowns whenever someone claims corsets were oppressive. and theyre so weird about russians, jesus christ.
disses:
domina (2021-) - i just couldnt get into it, esp since i tried right after finishing rome hbo. it was kind of silly, and not in a good way. takes itself wayyyy to seriously.
i didnt like spartacus (2010-2013) - the dialogue was almost grotesque and the editing, especially the transitions, straight up killed me
damsel (2024) - holy fuck what a trainwreck of a movie. absolute waste of angela basset and robin wright. the only good thing were the costumes.
lancelot du lac (1974) - i just didnt like it at all. couldnt get into it. i guess it was way too french and artsy fartsy for me. a movie that was trying to say both too little and too much at the same time.
i didnt rly like bram stoker's dracula (1992) - i mean. it was a fine movie. it was definitely not the godfather. the movie itself was meh. the visuals tho? absolutely stunning

dick is constantly made to be the prime example of how dc is shit when it comes to male rape survivors and continues to either make them the but of the joke or hypersexualise them
i've already talked about how hbo changed the name in a gag they made abt tarantula raping nightwing - making him out to be whiny and implying no one cared about what happened
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and now theyre continuing to hypersexualise him apparently making it a "major plot point" in season 4
Tumblr media
was a fan of this show for how they changed ivys character from the sexualised female rapist to a chill, clothed, eco-terrorist activist that isnt a rapist (honestly one of the only iterations i can stand watching her in as it isnt insanely triggering like most of the dcau versions)
but whats the point if they continue to maintain the narrative that male survivors are constantly a joke? that theyre weak, whiny, annoying? that no one cares? honestly shame on dc- again

Hi, Ashe! I love your new retexture of Newsea Lavender. I was looking for a style exactly like that lol. :D
Also you-know-who is clogging tags again, except she decided to up her tags to spam in and add in her political views for some reason. 🥴👍
She's ranting in the ask boxes of some blogs I follow again, too. Luckily she talks to herself on the posts from her socks and that makes mass blocking very easy- so here's some more usernames for your list:
@blue-orchid-98
@lavender-vanilla-cherry98
@friedenthusiastsandwich
@radical-popcorn
PLEASE do not communicate with this woman, this is obviously very fun for her.
She's been targeting several LGBT simmers on Tumblr while insisting she's been victimized. It's best just to block her and don't give her any attention.
(This is Pidge, I swapped my main and sideblog URLs. I'm so tired of being subjected to 'crazy cyberstalker' in gay dollhouse simulator 2004' community omg.)
it's kind of,,,, interesting that the third blog follows the person who INSISTED that I was an SA apologist because i dont care enough about palworld to hate it. (im literally vibing playing sims and oblivion)
i blocked the first two and last one when april fools started and the last on accidentally booped me. she was really trying me on the day of our lord :/ (or at least the final hours of sunday bc that was when the boops started rolling in)
i'm really just tired of all of this shit. of course i cant imagine what sam is going through and i dont go through even a fraction of what they have to deal with. it's just so taxing for everyone who got involved and are now forever roped in because they wanted to help a fellow sims 2 enjoyer.
i keep saying that im going to stop talking about it, but i dont think i can. some close friends of mine have gone through false accusations and stalkers before and i still harbour an intense amount of the concept of "shut the fuck up, you are wrong and you are willfully misinterpreting the truth". i still want to dig through every single accusation and give my own thoughts but there is nothing anyone gains from it. we're all so tired of seeing christy's new accounts pop up or get renamed
edit: we got a new one @/hypocrisy-destroyer

alright time to tell y'all what I've found from being on several radqueer discord servers over the past few months. ⚠️ ! TW FOR SA, GROOMING, SH, SU/C/DE AND ZOOPHILIA ! ⚠️ (and also just for radqueers being radqueers) - They will not hesitate to convince you any feeling you have is somehow a paraphile or transid. When I say anything I mean fucking anything. "I wish my autism had been diagnosed when I was younger" "you're transseverity". "I enjoy spending time and bonding with my sister" "you're consang". "I think people with Irish features are attractive" "you're an irishophile". I'm not kidding, they convince you everything is one of these things so they can draw you further into the space. Nobody will ever love you if you have so many paraphiles and transids right? Except us! - They regularly talk about real children, animals and siblings in a sexual manner. I unironically saw someone brag about following a young girl into the bathroom to watch her and take pictures of her. They have posted pictures of their young siblings for the purpose of talking about them sexually. It's fucking disgusting. - They let minors use NSFW channels and I have seen minors (like 13-15 year old minors) talk about kinks and fetishes with 20+ year olds. It's fucking weird. - I've seen multiple 13-15 year olds post pictures of themselves and get sexual comments from adults. - They post shotacon and lolicon often. - Vent channels are 99% complaining about antis, actively encouraging self-harm or threatening su/c/de and if anybody vents about anything else suggesting professional help can and will get you banned. - Questioning things gets you either banned on sight or outcasted. - They are all very pro-contact, I've seen multiple instances of encouragement to touch child (like under 12) siblings either while asleep or to convince them it's normal (aka literally grooming). I've also seen (although less) a few instances of encouragement to do things with animals. - I've seen multiple instances of people bragging about their self-harm and actively encouraging people to do extremely dangerous things for the sake of "transitioning". This ranges from just blatant self-harm to doing illegal drugs and giving yourself concussions or brain damage. I've reported messages, accounts and servers and discord has of course done fuck all about it. Only one person ever got a warning, they posted a screenshot to the server and then everyone told them to make several alts and to use VPNs. Fucking mental.
its actually disgusting how little website mods care about this shit.

teenage boys won’t get in trouble for making dick jokes or even sexually harassing girls but female students will get written up and sent home for having boobs or a belly button

still on my discovery kick and. them not only refusing to allow tyler to say he was raped by l'rell but then show a sexualised nightmare abt him being assaulted?
also personally i would never want to be touched, let alone kiss someone, after i've disclosed to them?
the way media treats male rape victims is nauseating and i honestly expected star trek of all things to do better

ok reasons why i think colleination as a whole would like bronya:
canonical disabled lesbian :)
her whole arc is about her own agency and her intense love of others reflecting off of that (contradicting her emotional impairment left on her by an experiment she was apart of) which is so fucking reminiscent of collei's entire arc which centers on her capability of growing and loving (something she was always told wasnt an option for her!)
also had a kill count as a young child.
hnnnn constantly dehumanizes herself as a child soldier who's experiences sexual exploitation but her characters evolution surrounds how entirely human she is and how loving she is and how good she is it actually makes me so fucking sick oh my god.. anyways is that not wt collei.. CMON FUCK.
complex familial relationships.. dear god.
she's also snarky and sarcastic one of her affectionate nicknames for one of her best friends is just calling her an idiot <3

I think transhateful labels are simply for people who are horrible bigots but dont want to fully own up to the fact that theyre horrible people so thy co-opt progressive language instead of fixing their shit
its definitely part of that, idk how you can be comfortable straight up calling yourself a nazi, but alot of its is obviously people with intrusive thoughts who dont know that those thoughts arnt really them.
but honestly if you start willingly calling yourself a nazi or saying you wanna be a rapist and then blame it on intrusive thoughts idc what they say those arnt just thoughts anymore.
