Longing for twinks so bad it makes you question your religion is ye olden pipeline.

Must have been a bad breakup:

Selim I wanted to use the Ottoman Empire's central location to completely cut the ties between Shah Ismail's Safavid Empire and the rest of the world.

Shah Ismail received revenue via customs duties, therefore after the war to demonstrate his commitment to their thorny rivalry, Selim I halted trade with the Safavids[61]—even at the expense of his empire's own silk industry and citizens.

I wish these were in the (age appropriate) little aside boxes in history textbooks.

I have to say, I did not expect one dude to have material for, let alone make, so many gay Ottoman memes.

The artist did femboy Warhammer 40k stuff for the longest time, and then they suddenly switched to LGBT history and it's been fantastic, truly what the internet was made for 🙏
