if it's what I think it is then I may or may not be close to writing stuff up in the tag that might get me hanged by the masses but be entertainment for others

I'm asking instead of trying to look it up (hahaha the wiki gives me headaches sometimes) because I'm supposed to be doing 'more important' things rn

UM...Ost was in 1750???

And AWE is supposed to take place 2-5 years before that, iirc.

And then CotBP is like, two years before that.

right yes that is... awe 1745 so cotbp 1746-7ish and the ship leaving England circa like 1736-7ish?

Yeah, something around that, I think.

...wait no don't add numbers for cotbp SUBTRACT so 1742-3ish okay

sldfds

yes excellent good perfect

Yes, that.

I'm good at maths

This is better than I could do, yes.

I'm reading Mother Clap's Molly House, to get ready for a presentation on gay subculture in 18th century London, or something like that

which is essentially perfect, time period-wise. my temptation to write something up for the PotC slashers to make faces at is strong

/snrt

"LOOK GUYS I DID THE RESEARCH FOR YOU!"

WHAT IS RESEARCH THO THEY SURE DON'T KNOW

srsly I mean wow, I remember a few people back in the day who kinda TRIED but /grumbles about the Good Old Days

it's too bad that I don't write fic, because I'm reading about the blackmail rings right now and it's giving me Ideas

Yeeeaaah.

I mean PotC slash is what got me interested in this stuff, trying to figure out the puzzles of how they'd pull such things off in the first place, obviously other people should fall down the same rabbit hole
