As an aroace person who’m wants to be a historian, If I see blatant signs of a gay couple, I’ll say their gay. Unfortunately *some* historians are afraid of the hate so they say that stuff, but there are just ignorant historians too. People often forget that queerness isn’t some new TikTok trend, it’s a thing that’s been around forever
I just discovered this animatic (two years after it was posted), but O have to say that my favorite part of the video is the fact that all the modern students learning about history are the reincarnations of the couples they're learning about. They were reborn, found they're loves again, and finally got to be accepted by society.
This song reminds me of Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens. Historically, they dated and there's a lot of evidence to prove it (letters). Historians still deny their relationship a lot, though.
I come back to this song when I feel horrible about the state of the USA, and cry. I hope ANYONE being effected by these new laws against the LGBTQA+ community stays safe and know even though the government wants to erase you, you will never be silenced and you are loved by many people who will support you.
Oh wow we love an exclusionist /s. **slow clap** Not intersex myself but I can imagine how much it hurts for someone to completely discredit your entire letter in the acronym.
Reminds me that Prussian leader, Frederick the great was almost certainly gay, sadly not many know of this fact because historians often call it a "rumor" but it is pretty much accepted as fact at this point
The thing with historians is that you have to ignore everything but the evidence - and so much of what wasn't mentioned in the records was because it was considered improper (like queerness.) However, sometimes there's willful ignorance mixed in on the historian's part though, and that's where the song has a point. In the case of Frederick, much evidence of his teenage years has been destroyed (also because he probably wanted it to be) so... We don't know. His queerness seems likely though, and it's important to note that he could be. Thanks for commenting, very interesting note!
Welp. I didn't think I was going to be crying tonight, but here we are. The song was relatable enough as it is, this just makes it hit deeper ;-; Context, I do mean this as a compliment, I absolutely adore this
Oh my gods! That was absolutely brilliant! This animation fit Reinaeiry's cover so amazingly well. I really want this to be an entire story and see what happens with her afterward, and working to get back what she has lost. It was sooo good, you did amazingly! ❤❤🔥
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was hoping to capture at least the essence of the song, and I'm grateful to hear that I seem to have managed it at least somewhat ^^
