for the ask thingo, 5, 14 (bets on you answering yes, go have some water!!) and 26 :)

5. favorite form of potato?

is every form of potato not perfect. but it is very hard to go past herby roasted potatoes

14. do you think you’re dehydrated?

jokes on you I am drinking tea right now. so I am at least LESS hydrated than I could be

in general tho? yes absolutely

26. how’s your spice tolerance?

bad................ but I feel like it is improving, bára @ettelwenailinon is slowly exposing me to spice. a little while ago we had some ramen noodles in the cupboards that I was Not allowed to touch bc it would kill me tho

weirdly specific asks!

[kurj]

@kiraistired thank you so much!! reading tags like these makes me happy 😳😳😳 (someone finally noticed the references hehe)

[iridescentoracle]

so if anyone’s wondering all the angels was the 49th song they’ve played on the US leg of the tour, discounting the sinatra cover and noise jam/everybody hates the eagles. SING was on tonight’s setlist, which would have made 50. (or counting the sinatra cover & ehte, 52.)

frank said in that interview they’d prepared 45 songs for this tour.

possibilities:

frank miscounted

they have added even more songs since that interview

frank lied

facts:

every single song frank namedropped in that interview has been played at least once except sister to sleep

everything is still possible actually and i’m scared

13, 24, 24 (have fun!!)

13. [share some random historical trivia!]

bees!! bees are really cool. harvesting honey from wild beehives goes back at least 7000-9000 years (maybe longer - that's just when we start getting evidence for it via cave paintings and traces of beeswax on pottery), but 'true' beekeeping (providing an artificial space for the bees to live in) starts around 2500 BCE (in a european/north african context, anyway - I don't know about the rest of the world!

^ I believe this is from the tomb of pabasa, around the 7th-6th century BCE

ancient greece and pre-roman italy have a lot of evidence for beekeeping. northern italy in particular. and the really interesting thing is that there's an etruscan trade centre called forcello with a burnt-out workshop, and the fire preserved bee breads (stored pollen basically). when those bee breads were analysed, it showed a marked preference by the bees for aquatic plants. which is SUPER unusual!! but it's probably evidence of itinerant beekeeping. the hives would have been made of something like wicker, and loaded onto boats, which would take them through littoral environments. the bees would collect the pollen, return to the hive, and then the hives would go back to the workshop so people could extract the honey and wax. and I just find that so delightful!! imagine if your job was to take bees out on daytrips

24. Who do you consider to be one of the most underrated historical figures?

[not sure if you meant to ask a different question or wanted me to answer this one twice ajghkfdgdf. I will answer it twice]

first of all, alasdair mac mhaighstir alasdair/alexander macdonald. who was a super prolific jacobite poet. he had worked with the sspck (a religious body that wanted to educate and 'civilise' the highlands/make english the primary language), and produced a gaelic-english dictionary for them, but he ended up abandoning the school he worked at and was dismissed in july 1745. later that month he goes to loch nan uamh, where prince charles has landed, and is one of the first people to board the boat. prince charles is not really broadcasting his identity at this point, and alasdair 'conversed with him in a very familiar way' and had to be told to chill and not be so overly friendly ajkhgfjdg.

he's interesting because he composed in gaelic, and much of his work is very gaelic in format and nature, but he'd also been educated at glasgow university, so he brings in a bunch of different elements like classical mythology. which makes him a very non-standard source for how your average highland jacobite would have conceived of the whole political situation/interacted with jacobite imagery, but as an individual there's a lot to dig into! on the flip side, he has a poem (ostensibly non-jacobite) where he complains about prostitutes, and it's super misogynistic and not at all a comfortable read - but there's one line where it kind of sounds like he's offended that they would dare to speak prince charles' name. and I'm fascinated by that line because we know there were prostitutes travelling with the jacobite army in the '45 - it was just a common army thing in that period, and there's a record of some of them drowning during a river crossing - but we don't really know anything about /them/. they're prostitutes, they're poor women, their thoughts and opinions don't get recorded. so to have that little snapshot, that little hint that yeah, of course they were involving themselves in jacobite discourse as well - it's possibly kind of unique.

the second person I'll go for is charlotte robertson, lady lude. who was another jacobite, and pretty notorious for the way she forced her tenants out to fight. the hanoverian propaganda machine at the time painted her as young, seductive, and having an affair with prince charles - but in reality she was much older, and there's no real evidence they ever had a sexual/romantic relationship. hanoverian propaganda was just super focused on the number of women supporting the jacobite cause as a way of painting it as unnatural. what we do know is that lady lude set herself up as the lady of a relative's house (the caretaker of the house was. not very happy about this ajhkdgfd) and threw prince charles a party, where she was VERY excited to present him with a pineapple to eat, as he'd never had one before. in thanks for the party, he gave her a snuff mull (a small box for storing snuff - they're sometimes considered to only have been used by men, but women did own them too, sometimes for snuff but more often for storing pins, makeup, etc) which had supposedly been in the stuart family for a few generations. and you can go and see it!! it's at the mcmanus museum in dundee (very nice museum & they were very kind and sent me an old article they had about it so I could use it in my honours thesis. shoutout to the mcmanus)

history asks!!
