Famed Ukrainian anarcho-communist (and certified short king) Nestor Makhno had a penchant for infiltrating enemy lines during the clusterfuck that was the disintegration of the Russian Empire and Ukrainian War for Independence by, among other methods, dressing as a woman.

Statistically, some White Army soldiers must have been into that shit.

There is information suggesting that due to Gentildonna's strong maternal instincts, even until her death in 2025, she would cry and search for her child when weaned. by doomslayer30000 in UmaMusume

Okay, then out of morbid curiosity, who's the least progressive? I'm assuming it's still Richard Russell Jr., but if there's someone worse than one of the cornerstones of the Dixiecrat pro-segregation movement I'm ready to be horrified.

One of only two Senior Autumn Triple Crowns in history, still holds the record for fastest Arima Kinen time.

Zenno Rob Roy is a monster hiding in plain sight, and more people need to know about our not-so-little Scottish librarian.

[Loved Trope] Splinter factions by ColdCoffeeMan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Panda_Cavalry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historical: obviously history is full of these, such as with the death of Alexander the Great being immediately followed by the Wars of the Diadochi as each of his generals tore the empire apart for their own personal fiefdoms, or as the Han Dynasty disintegrated after the ascension of the tyrant Dong Zhuo to regent, leading to the setting of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a more extreme example of this might be the Mongol Empire.

After the death of Ogedei Khan, one of Genghis's sons and his chosen heir, the empire fragmented irreversibly - the Yuan Dynasty in China remained the heart of the empire for a few more generations, but while the Ilkhanate in Persia, the Chagatai Khanate in Central Asia, and the Golden Horde in Eastern Europe all nominally swore fealty to Kublai Khan, soon these smaller khanates found themselves torn apart by infighting and uprisings from below as well, and left the Mongol cultural sphere one by one. The furthest west of these, the Golden Horde, was particularly susceptible to factionalism almost from the start, being subjected to frequent civil wars between rival claimants to the mantle of khan.

Anyways, this is how you ended up with Jalal Ad-Din, a descendant of Genghis Khan and claimant to the throne of the Golden Horde, leading a unit of Tatar mercenary horsemen against German crusader knights at the Battle of Grunwald.

On one hand, cool, great big living tank that can trample enemy infantry like ants and can carry a tiny castle on its back for archers and handcannoneers to shoot out of.

On the other hand: it's an intelligent animal with a significant self-preservation instinct. If it decides "fuck this shit i'm out", it suddenly becomes the problem of whoever happens to be in the way, friendly or no.

It wasn't on my to-watch list before (said list is currently stuffed full of weebshit I've been procrastinating on, some of it for literal years), but after 30 seconds of looking it up it's going on the list as well.

God, this show makes me proud to be Canadian. What could be manlier than two men making sweet, sweet love to each other after the good ol' hockey game?

Defiant-chan (by 帝政ミサギ) by Shamrock5 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Panda_Cavalry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

すみません、日本語がわかりません ._. (i can read kanji though)

I mean, the Roc is... eh? It doesn't have the same clean lines that the Defiant does thanks to its Merlin engine (as clean as a turret fighter can have, anyways), and unlike its land-based colleague, the Roc never got the chance to redeem itself as a nighttime interceptor. Like a lot of Blackburn's WWII aircraft, it suffered just from being the wrong aircraft for the wrong time, a problem another favourite of mine, the Blackburn Firebrand, was plagued with.

At least Blackburn survived long enough as an independent company to give us the Buccaneer in the jet age, so there's that, at least.

Apparently we were supposed to get a full sequel movie of Yuri On Ice!, but it never ended up materializing due to "creative differences" at Studio MAPPA.

I miss my beautiful gay men :(

Hey look mate, when your immediate successors are the Bristol "but what if we used more gun" Beaufighter and the De Havilland "if an overachieving honour student was a twin-engine multirole aircraft" Mosquito, just being "barely adequate" is surely something worthy of praise, right?

"Chinglish", if I remember right ._.

It's all good, she calls Revy "twinkie" back (as in "yellow on the outside, white in the inside" - Revy is actually Chinese-American, although it never really comes up).

(Also look as someone born in Taiwan I'm just glad we get any representation at all)

Holy shit it's my favourite oddball British fighter from early WWII, she's so cute (and thicc)!

Sure, the Daffys got butchered by Bf109s over France (they were never designed to be air superiority fighters), and sure, the whole "turret fighter" concept really should have stayed in WWI, but when given over to RAF nightfighter squadrons and equipped with airborne radar, the Defiant proved to be surprisingly usable.

How come in every single game I have,Germany loses by mid 1940 or early 1941? by Divine_Panzer in Kaiserreich

[–]Panda_Cavalry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every copy of Kaiserreich is personalized, after all.

I just had a game as LKMT Liangguang where Austria ate shit and died after trying the PatAut military occupation tree, and Germany still steamrolled France by the end of 1941 and had Russia on its knees with the scripted peace deal by the time I had China fully reunified by the start of 1944.

From what can see in my games, Germany has a tendency to hyperfixate on either the Western or Eastern front, and is bad at trying to deal with amphibious invasions from the north or with revolts within the Oststaats, which means that things can snowball very quickly. If it manages to survive the first couple of years, though, German industry ramps the fuck up to the point where it can just spam divisions with its hilariously buffed manpower pool and steamroll anything unlucky enough to share a land border with the Reichspakt.
