pleeeease please please please 🥺🙏🙏✨️

sometimes i wonder how a writer would describe me if i were a character in a book

What made you become accustomed to history, I meant to say.

ahh, understood, thank you for the clarification <:

honestly, history is like a heavy, warm blanket for me, and it always has been. when i was a much younger boy, i used to spend hours piecing apart books about medical history, mostly to try and impress my mother because she was very much one of those conditional love types. when that didn't work, i kept learning about it for myself, it was a form of escapism and a labour of love to read all about different people and places and events in history.

not to mention the way that it fit in my brain in a way that i didn't have the language for at the time (now i know its because of my autism). history happens in quiet places, with comforting, dedicated, and intelligent people, and it requires higher and critical thinking. i realize that might sound a touch elitist, but im afraid it's the truth. and the people around me that were interested in history were more than happy to chat about it for hours on end because no one becomes a historian for the money (median salary for historians where i live is about 60000 a year).

i want to be able to kindle and inspire others to explore history because of how much of a comfort it is to me. i can't help but feel a little twinge of hurt and sadness when history courses are dropped due to lack of interest, or when people make fun of historians for being dusty and old.

i know this was a bit of a ramble, but i hope i answered your question <:

What's your favorite color?

Honestly i really love jewel tones and neutrals, but if I had to pick just one it'd be cerulean blue <: that or maybe something closer to navy

Thanks for the ask, dear /p
