"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot
i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832
i am making jokes but i am also feeling indescribable rage at the prospect of millions of pounds of taxpayer money being spent on a funeral and a coronation and changing currency while working class people are relying on food banks and can’t heat their homes over winter

Queen announced dead after a 6 month long battle with Joe Biden's psionic warriors, who successfully astrally penetrated Buckingham palace late last night with the purpose of rending Velvet Throat Liz asunder.

I mean... I put "tired historian" in my bio. One day people will learn not to come for me if they do not want to get a faceful of receipts, but today is not that day.
A few others I didn't get around to in my last post:
- The brutal British treatment of Cyprus in the 1950s and how they generally fanned ethnic tensions to control and divide the island;
- The absolutely horrifying role the Anglican church (during her reign, until the 1990s!) played in the Canadian Indigenous residential school system, forcing the Archbishop of Canterbury to personally apologize (not until earlier this year when they found all those skeletons buried in unmarked graves);
- HOLY SHIT THE BRITISH LITERALLY DESTROYED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF KENYA'S HISTORY IN PHYSICAL/LITERAL/ARCHIVAL WAYS (related to my mention of concentration camps in the last post) in order to cover up their own crimes, in something called "Operation Legacy"; literally there are so many sources for this and even today historians are often blocked from investigating what really happened (again, this was all happening DURING THE QUEEN'S REIGN, not in some imagined benighted past)
- QE2's own extensive lobbying efforts to keep her personal net worth secret and to hide Prince Philip's will for 90 years, while running the $28 billion imperial money machine of "The Firm"
- (We all remember what a racist goblin Philip was, right?)
- Likewise, Buckingham Palace, for a long time, banned LGBTQ and "visible" ethnic minorities from working there, even in office jobs, and the queen personally exempted herself from compliance with civil rights/sexual/racial discrimination laws;
- And the Diana thing, which I'm not going to link to because we all know what happened, but the Queen was always known to act in ways that would preserve the monarchy "at all costs"
(But sure. Respect.)
guys it is NOT funny that the queen died because the IRA painted a tunnel on the side of a cliff and ran into it like it was a real tunnel and she tried to chase them and slammed into the cliff so hard she made a queen-shaped imprint and it is NOT okay to joke about it EVEN IF she made a really loud boing sound effect when she did it
With the Queen dying, we’re one step closer-
NOW IRELAND NOW-
People not from commonwealth realms don’t get it. we’ve spent our entire lives (multiple generations of lives) being told that the only possible way out of british rule is the death of elizabeth. There are fourteen countries outside of the UK who have this noncitizen making the final say in all their countries decisions. Every time someone talks of a republic we get a sigh and a “people love liz too much, maybe when she dies…” like it’s a nebulous period but now it’s right in front of us. It’s within reach. My generation could finally be the one that sees independence from the British.
