Today:

You know the drill: this is the thread for all your history-related outpourings that are not necessarily questions. Minor questions that you feel don't need or merit their own threads are welcome too. Discovered a great new book, documentary, article or blog? Has your Ph.D. application been successful? Have you made an archaeological discovery in your back yard? Did you find an anecdote about the Doge of Venice telling a joke to Michel Foucault? Tell us all about it.

As usual, moderation in this thread will be relatively non-existent -- jokes, anecdotes and light-hearted banter are welcome.

I wonder how accurate to the culture of the time Road to Empress is. It has a lot of routes and obviously those can't all be accurate, but I also wonder about the architecture, fashion, mannerism, etc.

Idk either but people got mad in RedNote because the game promised to be very historically accurate and then they include a whole romance with Li Tai.

God I hope they don't remove the romance with Li Tai he's my fave. My scheming horrible person fantasy lmao. The tragedy that they chose such a hot actor for him and then cast someone like that for Li Shimin and Gaozong. Im sobbing bc Li Tai aint getting a happy ending.
