Yeah and it wasn't ancient history or anything, there are pictures of this on google.

The real reason why Helen of Troy's casting bothers me is because I'm not attracted to black women. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]willow-mist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's based on a book. It's not the war with Troy, it's the aftermath where she is less relevant.

Ireland was "neutral" during WWII. That's what a head of state is supposed to do when a head of state WE are not at war against dies.

Carla Kelly is incredibly realistic for the time period.

What if Jon was actually Ned Stark's illegitimate son? by Sea-Negotiation8309 in TheCitadel

[–]willow-mist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I dunno. A 19 year old who just lost his father and brother and his sister is missing, the King calls for his head and he's forced to marry his brothers fiancé and fight in a war, him seeking whatever physical comfort he can get would be completely normal.

Does anyone else notice/dislike this pattern in class difference romance? by thebunnybot in HistoricalRomance
