I've mentioned Lovecraft right?

Double checking the Wiki I found me some interesting things.

Bluebeards book isn't even a real thing. There's no "Text of R'lyeh" in any of Lovecrafts works.

And even if it was I have no clue how he'd get hold of it. Considering R'lyeh has been at the bottom of the Pacific ocean for over 1000 years.

 

Trust me. I could go on about this forever.

 

As I said, it isn't perfect.

 

But apologies on that front. I assumed you referred to historical contexts in general not being accurate.

Yeah, had to make it four. Where I to cram it into a single one, no one would read it b/c of its length. My drafts are up to 7 pages on Word already, and I am far from complete. Yeah, this will take awhile... 

 

Anyway, when my studies are over this will have my full attention!

[TheClonesLegacy]

Go ahead then

 

None is stopping you

I'll sum it up like this.

Give him the Necronomicon .

It's a human book, so while unlikely, he could get his hands on it.

Change the demons he summons (Despite the Cthulhi never looking like that, but I digress) to the dead (His master victims, the dead wildlife in the area, etc),

Make his Noble Phantasm to summon Yog-Sothoth. Which is something the Necronomicon can actually do.

Bam. Done.

Nah, I'm anal retentive about Lovecraft.

 

I'm Canadian, so about the only history I was taught was the Fur Trade (And the Russian Revolution. That was fun).
So that's the extent of my knowledge.

That's why I summed it up.

Took out alot of my ranting about making up something, when there's plenty of things from Lovecrafts works you could use.

[Zeroth Angel]

I'd read the Necromicon

Vroom Vroom will take anyone that want a ride through history right?

Thank you Teacher Vroom Vroom. I'd be honored!

He's like the Magic School Bus.

But a Car.

[Vroom Vroom]

Vroom Vroom will take anyone that want a ride through history right? 

Yes! 

 

(My likes can't refill fast enough)

 

Thank you Teacher Vroom Vroom. I'd be honored!

You are most welcome, I shall take to the task of typing up the long list of events that occurred. 

 

All should know about the tragedy of Aberdolf Lincler that way it cannot be repeated. 

 

[TheChris92]

And Fate delivers!

 

God, I love this franchise!

 

 

To be honest, Fate is quite accurate with its portrayal on history. E.g. Gilgamesh is pretty much taken directly from the Poem, Rider is probably one of my favorite depictions of Alexander b/c while it is bombastic, it is in fact very true to the source material (Alexander as a historical figure is quite exaggerated, and his more "unfavorable" attributes and characteristics are ignored or downplayed).

That would of course depend on the critical standing towards the supposed material, and the credibility of said source -- Whether it's a primary or secondary source; Does it rely on other sources that say the same things or does it not? Given that Alexander lived before the Year 0, a first-hand-source is out of the question and thus a critical standing towards any source becomes accountable. Historians usually work with written sources, although paintings, monuments, films and other cultural products are also used as sources of historians. Even abstract phenomenas like the decor of a museum can be a source.

 

A crucial question one should always ask is whether the source is what it claims to be? The vast majority of sources are true, but there are examples of counterfeit sources such -- The case of Adolf Hitler diaries in the 1980s. If you use sources from the Internet it can be difficult to determine their authenticity. A website or a person, for example, can purposely pretend to represent a political opponent only to blacken the counterparty. Basically, it's all about remaining extremely critical of the information one has from the internet, compare them with other sources to establish a consensus standpoint towards it authenticity.

@Chris

No need to educate me on that regard, since I am am fully aware of such. It is critical to remain objective when it coms to history, and always have an open mind, especially regarding stuff that lack authentic sources. I've already stumbled upon quoted facts which have been proven invalid, and I rarely use internet as a source for anything more than superficial information.

Alexander is certainly a prominent figure, but from my extended studies on him I see him as widely overplayed (truly, if anyone deserves the title "The Great" it is his father, since Alexander's basis is on Philip's merits).

I know my history, so appreciate the accurate statement, but it is wasted on me.

Is that from Rick and Morty?

I have no doubts that you most certainly do -- It was mostly in regards to the anime statement, given that anime tend to be as loose as all possible in regards to historical context matters, examples like Le Chevalier D'Eon, but as in all adaptations, that's to create a dramatic story that can appeal to a modern audience. Recent examples, like say Band of Brothers or locally to me, a show called 1864 (centering around Denmark's losing hold on Sleswig-Holstein against Prussia). Making the war against Prussia in 1864 feel somewhat related to the war in Afghanistan works on a modern audience, that's what contributes to the success of these shows. Making cathartic drama is key, whereas historical accuracy always come in as, at best, second priority. It's how it works in all mediums of course -- Largely a tv-audience does not care for historical accuracy but rather entertainment and if it's entertaining, if it can relay a message, draw perspectives on how we see the world, that they can take with them into their own lives. Then it's a success.
