Time For Some Drunk History/Canon Storytime/That Thing I Love

Everyone's got something they can just go on and on and on about, even when they're a little bit drunk. Or a lot bit drunk. In fact, honestly? Maybe they've even got a better handle on it when they're drunk. So honestly-- honestly?

Just. Sit there. And let them tell you about it.

how do.
- Post a top-level with character info, including what thing they can nerd on about. Is it a particular time in history? Is it how magic/science/an ice cream machine works? Is it their take on that one thing that happened in canon?
- Tag other folks with questions about their topic or a general gentle prompt to get them rambling.
- Roll to see how drunk you're getting and tell the people the thing you know while you're super coherent.

how drunk.
1] Still sober - Work on that.
2] A little tipsy - You might be getting a little ramble-y about the thing.
3] A few hard drinks in - Okay, so, sentences are hard and you don't know how to pronounce the one thing but you are damn sure this is how it went down.
4] Plastered - Listen, you'll answer that question in a second, but has the other person seen what the table looks like if you put your head down on it.

Comments

Eren Jaeger | Shingeki no Kyojin

[preciousbrat]

(would either start rambling about people that are alright with living within the walls, killing titans or with too many drinks swooning over Levi in public)

Death (Personification) | Elisabeth (Musical)

[thelastdanceismine]

(Elisabeth - his favourite topic)

Korekiyo Shingugi | DRV3

[justpure]

[His area of expertise is in Anthropology, so you get a detailed explaination of folklore and human cultures. He may get a little creepy about it.]

[Drinks are assumed to be placebo or we can age him up to drinking age. Let me know if you want to avoid any triggers or spoilers.]

enjolras ] (modern) les misérables

[deblayer]

[why he's drinking is unclear but lord let him tell you about that Napoleon guy, the June Rebellion of 1832, or the Société des droits de l'homme.]

a best friend and also your choice on rant content

[betteralready]

He doesn't always understand Enjolras' rants. Or, well, he does-- and very well, at that-- but he doesn't always understand the continued frustration over lives long past.

Still, though, he listen as intently as he can manage-- even if he maybe is sneakily switching out some of Enjolras' alcohol for water.

zelda | breath of the wild

[sealedsun]

[ SHEIKAH TECHNOLOGY, plants and flowers of Hyrule, hot-footed frogs, honestly any of her research which ranges from monster parts to valuable ore to her favorite flower, Silent Princess ]

[wisdominshadows]

It did surprise me to hear that the Sheikah would build such massive creations.

[They're a few glasses into a nice Akkalan red and Zelda's curious to hear her descendant's thoughts.]

They were always brilliant artificers, of course, but the ones I knew took the name "Shadow Folk" very seriously. Something so...direct as your Divine Beasts would have been quite contrary to their usual methods.

Sloan Sabbith | The Newsroom

[greaterfools]

[drunk econ? drunk econ.]

Rigon Dotsk | D&D

[damaran]

[there's some lore of Ten Towns you probably haven't heard a million times]

inquisitor lavellan | dragon age: inquisition

[dirthena]

[ dragon age elvish history/culture, probably some general history of thedas. a little bit about magic and a lot about the inquisition itself and the political landscape of thedas. ]

[uth]

[Of course it's Elven bourbon. Wine is too pedestrian.]

What, precisely, do the Dalish say of the fall of Arlathan?

verity carlo | transformers | idw

[wreckers]

[ four million years of total warfare and the heinous misadventures that followed. A spider and a cop have a kid. ]

lets see if i can remember how to do this

[novacharge]

So. Giant taking robots that transform into cars?

Jemma Simmons | Agents of SHIELD

[biochemistry]

[ota with f/f preference for shipping if that's at all relevant; for the sake of her less-science-minded writer, her topic of choice today is going to be either Harry Potter or kinky sex and its very scientific neurochemical benefits]

Ophelia Lynn Øster | Hamlet (modern)

[mermaidlike]

[ota; the language of flowers, let her teach you it]

[inspirationality]

So, tell me, what is it with roses?

solas | dragon age | ota.

[uth]

[lets talk about all the ways youre wrong about elves. again.]

[vhenadahls]

[ or the Blight? Tabris has noticed that as much as the Inquisition's Fade expert likes to complain about inaccuracies and ignorance, he rarely offers any real correction. ]

So did a Warden take your cookie during the last Blight or somethin'? What's got you so fussy 'bout us?

Michiru Kaiou | Sailor Moon

[violinists]

[ota, f/f for shipping if it matters; she's here to talk about queer feminism, since she can't really go off about her more cosmic areas of expertise to strangers]

Missandei | GOT/ASOIAF

[scribed]

[ota, modern also available; she'll tell you horrible jokes or ramble about Valyrian poetry probably.]

[northerndragon]

What do you know of the Doom of Valyria?

Sonia Vorbarra | The Vorkosigan Saga

[vorbratta]

[ depending on who you are, sonia is living history. ask her anything about the cetagandan occupation of barrayar. you'll probably get a skewed perspective, but she was actually there. ]

Lina Inverse | Slayers

[dragonswag]

[ who else knows THIS MUCH about magical history and miscellanea, okay. ]

[willbeyourhope]

Okay, but...

[Where did Haruto get a book on otherworldly black magic? Don't ask, it's not important. What is important is how uncomfortable he looks as he flips through the pages.]

Half of these spells read like contracts! How does that even work, are you bound to that spell or its source forever?

Miles Vorkosigan | The Vorkosigan Saga

[forwardmomentum]

[ let him tell you about barrayaran history, especially military history. he's a laughable featherweight to boot. ]

[northerndragon]

I don't know this place you're from. What can you tell me?

Jon Snow ✥ Game of Thrones

[northerndragon]

[Someone paid attention at lessons! Someone also just downed some mead.]

eyyyyyy

[reek]

[ And a smirking certain someone is sure he can beat Jon at this, no trouble. How much attention did the Starks actually pay to Ironborn history, anyway? ]

The Grey King, Snow. Legendary King of the Iron Islands, in case your addled mind needs refreshing. All of the great ironborn houses claim descent from him, save for one. House Goodbrother. Tell me who they claim descent from instead.

[ It's sort of in their name, tbh. ]

Emma Frost | Marvel Comics

[myownbestfriend]

[I'm only current through like the end of AvX but it's not like Emma wouldn't have opinions on stuff that hasn't happened yet. It's Emma. She has opinions on everything.]

[actionmycology]

Foley upends her second glass of honey whiskey and looks to the woman down the bar from her.

"Okay so like, you're an X-man, right?" She asks, as she sets the glass down. The scientist smacks her lips for a moment before continuing. "What's the deal with Cyclops and Wolverine? I thought you were all on the same team, what's the fuckin' beef with those two?"

Taako | The Adventure Zone | OTA

[elderflowermacarons]

[Opinions. About. Everything.]

Detective Rust Cohle | True Detective | ota

[littlepriest]

[ aside from Rust being a wealth of nihilistic bullshit, mun took a year of Texas history and specifically enjoys history concerning the Alamo, so, I have just decided that Rust has an extensive knowledge of Texas history. fight me, hellen. Rust will be somewhere on the prompt scale of 2-3 drunk and very sleep deprived. ]

Elizabeth Foley | Atomic Robo

[actionmycology]

[She's a nerd who can tell you all about mycology, a bit about hacking and robotic design, the history of Tesladyne, and about how fungal-human interfacing is definitely going to be the post-human industry of the future. She's so sure of it, you guys.]

[theghostbird]

[The interface between humans and colonizing organisms is a subject near to The Biologist's heart. Not dear, mind you. Just near, like a knife.]

How...how dangerous is the process? For the human.

Samuel Drake | Uncharted

[meantforthis]

[ pirates, pirates, and more pirates. ]

pirates you say

[yourotherleft]

Now come on, you're telling me it was hundreds of years ago?

Daenerys Targaryen • Game of Thrones • ota

[ex_jelmazmo599]

( If you'd like to hear about dragons, shitty brothers and one of those brothers' version of Westerosi history, look no further. )

[riftmanship]

[ Excuse him whilst he hiccups a few times. Classy, Inquisitor, classy. ]

Hurk--ooh, do pardon me--mmm, we have dragons, too. Bloody big beasts, they are. Cantankerous and bad-tempered, more apt to roast you alive than look at you, the sodding blighters.

More, m'lady?

[ It's good stuff. Antivan brandy. Guaranteed to lower thought function, cares and woes, as well as inhibitions, given enough of a chance. ]

marian hawke / dragon age

[redtailedhawke]

[ ASK HER ABOUT THE REAL KIRKWALL REBELLION, not the watered-down version Varric published that made her look useless and foolish for seven years. "people died, hawke" "god i know it was great"; alternatively, the history of carver's bedwetting and bethany's refusal to wear pants as a toddler ]
