About two months ago I lost access to my account. I thought it was deleted, but then about a month later it spontaneously returned. So most likely it was some kind of malfunction that tumblr took a lot of time to fix. Who knows.

Anyway the truth of the matter is that I really didn't care that much. My interests have changed and I was getting bored with the content I had posted. I was posting antique firearms, then antique arms and armor in general. But my interests had shifted away from such topics and on to others. That is why I created treasures-of-the-ancients. Blogging was beginning to become a chore with peashooter85.

So I have decided to let peashooter85 die. I will no longer be posting here.

I have a new blog called @memories-of-ancients. It deals mostly with ancient and medieval history, the pre-modern era, and a little bit of the 18th century up to the Napoleonic Wars, and maybe some assorted modern history that really catches my eye.

I also have @peashooter-invictus which operates as a personal blog, which will have some assorted history and antiques, but mostly is just me reblogging cat pics.

Best,
