One of the reasons the ancient Greeks relied on chariots for warfare is that saddles and especially stirrups had not been invented yet and sitting bareback (and bare-assed lbr) on a horse while trying to throw a spear at someone would have been exceedingly difficult.
Also!!!! If u have suggestions pls comment them :3 I stopped watching rainbow quest halfway through though, and twisted rainbow and allux rising (idk how to spell it..) I haven't seen any of. For steve saga I've watched from the verry beginning and kinda was watching it on and off after (spoilers !) The rainbow town was destroyed and mainly stopped after the whole either origin steve stuff or illusion/reality stuff I don't remember which. Like ik some of it bc I'd watch the recent episodes occasionally but I'm more knowledgeable on the middle to early parts of it 😈 😈 😈
And his assasins creed series I'm currently watching so!!! :D
perhaps because it is before the injury but I almost always realized the stark contrast in Thomas and Anne confronting Henry about jousting.
When Thomas asks Henry not to harm Gregory, Henry responds kindly, well in a Henry way. Thomas was potentially asking Henry, a victor and somewhat of a prodigy at jousting to lower his skill and to potentially, if it came to it, lose to spare Gregory. And if not lose, certainly not win. Henry of course didn't promise Thomas anything, but rather than lash out at him, attempt to comfort him.
On the other hand when Anne asked, for his own wellbeing, for him to stop jousting not only did he yell at her, but he did so publicly, and she was shamed for it.
The contrast and the similarities of Anne and Thomas, and their parallels toward their proximity with Henry are very intriguing to me.
