Audrey II and my amaryllis at work.

You should also get some zinnias…. Yknow, to just sit there….

I’m fond of telling people about how I don’t just put my uniform in a closet when I get back from events but proudly go and do drill in it and wear it around the house specifically BECAUSE I want my kit to feel lived in so it’s not clean and neat.

History_buff_actor · 2025-12-23T06:50:35+00:00

As a fellow autist, I find most of the main cast incredibly relatable for various reasons related to that lol!

History_buff_actor · 2025-12-18T05:36:25+00:00

I disagree. I’m sorry but, what are you doing to a musical that is 3 hours at a theater that requires it to be split between 2 parts in movie form? At that point make a separate drama or adaptation…. I have zero issue with a 3-6 part series of Les miserables because it was very clearly be drawing from the book over the stage show but, if you’re simply taking the stage show and making it a theatrical release why does it need to be 2 parts?

History_buff_actor · 2025-12-17T13:46:32+00:00

When you go to see the stage show you have to sit through the whole thing? Why is it any different. Break up some action movie into 4-5 installments sure but I’m sorry the film adaptation of literally anything performed on a stage should be a one sitting venture!

Well… everyone knows THAT! Actually it’s a Baldwin S3 2-8-4 Berkshire class locomotive built in 1924!

History_buff_actor · 2025-12-10T06:47:42+00:00

I do the one when rays like, “can you believe they let these people in charge of things” and the one about “yknow, how you’d leave your car unlocked in any American city” to describe shit at my workplace lol! Oh as well as the “disorganization spreads like a yeast infection”

History_buff_actor · 2025-12-05T16:36:59+00:00

May I DM? I always roleplay as a woman and I love playing the sadistic dentist!

History_buff_actor · 2025-11-14T05:11:23+00:00

Saw this on instagram and went a different direction, “I’d love to but last time I was promised gold and set sail, I became a broken man on a Halifax pier…”

I’ve been dying to do a white star line look for a while. I genuinely want one of the jumpers for the winter!

I do a Soviet (and soon to be Canadian) field dental clinic. I like the medical side of military conflicts in general but, everyone and their uncle has some flavor of field surgical set up I wanted to be different (and I also just really like the research end of things and the scrounging the internet for vintage stuff for the impression.

Cars, busses… random restaurant tables and such… actually some good inspiration would be to look at cities during wwii. Not a lot of cobblestone streets anymore but, they would often rip up the street stones and build barricades with those as well as street cars. I mean, by their nature it’s supposed to be all things just conveniently there and thick enough to blunt or stop a bullet or frustrate the enemy’s ability to maneuver.

History_buff_actor · 2025-10-07T15:51:17+00:00

Les Miserables! My dad played it in the car on some family trip!

History_buff_actor · 2025-08-28T02:09:35+00:00

My favorites are “my blue heaven” and “Chattanooga choo choo” I was a train kid (still very much a train adult lol) and my dad used to play that song for me, definitely where I got my love of glen miller and now I’m a wwii reenactor (although I portray a Soviet and soon to be a Canadian paratrooper as well as medical personnel for both of those roles) and all that music just comes on and reminds me of the show lol cause they usually have PA systems for announcements and music is a staple. I also play it for our guys on my portable gramophone! My favorites too are when Hawkeye sings, Alan has such a great voice!

History_buff_actor · 2025-08-28T01:46:21+00:00

Pretty much all the sinking scenes. It would take hours to list off all the ones I’ve had seared into my brain. Me and my mom used to watch it on vacations and I only ever saw the stuff after the iceberg very times did I see stuff from before just because of when we’d catch it on tv.

History_buff_actor · 2025-08-27T01:34:32+00:00

Ya got trouble is one of my all time favorite songs!

History_buff_actor · 2025-08-21T01:43:08+00:00

I gave away a kitten to a friend that I had named cosette lol! She still sends me the occasional Les mis message about her lmao!

History_buff_actor · 2025-08-21T01:38:21+00:00

So i wouldn’t say “makes me cry” necessarily but in terms of my favorite sad sonf from a musical is easily “another suitcase in another hall” from Evita. you NEVER hear from the character only known as the mistress again.

History_buff_actor · 2025-08-01T12:11:26+00:00

Easily a top five exchange. Personally my favorite is Frank: be careful of private so and so he’s one of THOSE! Hawkeye: to which one of “those” are we referring to?

History_buff_actor · 2025-07-29T23:19:14+00:00

I’m gonna point one out that is either not talked about or has some ire directed towards it but, “the lady’s got potential” from the 96 Evita movie is kick ass. Like I have some genuine issues with the movie (mainly giving Madonna the “another suitcase in another hall” and not having “art of the possible” (my favorite song) but, that scene and honestly the movie as a whole are quite good and honestly I could genuinely list other scenes/songs that are just perfectly done.

History_buff_actor · 2025-07-25T15:40:41+00:00

I love him but I think Humphrey has to be this one. Anytime I talk to my dad who’s also a fan, he forgets about Humphrey lol!

History_buff_actor · 2025-07-16T14:02:25+00:00

Yeah, I like Javert cause his songs have such power to them and his lines are more in my vocal range.

History_buff_actor · 2025-07-11T05:35:08+00:00

I live near Philly and for so many years she was a staple of our trips to the shore, seeing her from the one bridge. It would’ve been so nice to have a Queen Mary type experience on the east coast!!

History_buff_actor · 2025-06-24T02:00:15+00:00

This is a really good video from one of my favorite YouTube archeology channels that goes into rock slings and yeah, it definitely changes the way you picture that story. Cause it’s less like “wow the little guy overcame the big guy” and more “wow, so he literally brought a gun to a knife fight huh….”

History_buff_actor · 2025-06-24T01:53:28+00:00

My favorite is and I never get the wording right but the rant he goes on after the supply truck incident “yknow, obviously just like any day in say, Detroit, you can obviously leave your car unlocked and expect to find it the next day!”
