YAY thank you for telling me haha, this made me happy. My nebra sky disk poster is nailed to the wall in my office that i never use, love the nebra sky disk...!

If anyone wants their own video on the nebra sky disk, this curators' tour talks about it (among a lot of other cool stuff) a little :,)

Because it could of course reference a "pyrrhic victory" - a victory gained at such a high cost it might as well be a defeat. Perhaps a fitting name for the woman who advised John "if they want to make you into a bad wizard, be a bad wizard. We can write the history books to say you were a good wizard. Or at least an okay wizard."

Or a reference to Pyrrha and Deucalion, the only survivors of the flood that wiped out humanity, who repopulate the earth by throwing the bones of mother earth (rocks) over their shoulders, which spring up as new humans. Perhaps a fitting name for one of John's resurrected friends, and one of the few who liked Alecto.

Or a reference to the Theban princess Pyrrha, whose children are killed in a fire by Heracles when he is in the throes of madness. Perhaps a fitting name for a woman who thought Wake's "Bomb" was her's, and mourned accordingly.

henry v: the thing is that hal was at the club and it didn’t change anything. hal was at the club and it didn’t save him. but it matters. it matters that he was at the club. and kingship simply isn’t proper hal husbandry. you can’t keep a killer whale in a zoo. did nobody see free willy. yes he’s the mirror of all christian kings and he has the incredible rookie win streak of lightning mcqueen in the first cars movie but look at him he’s a shell of a man he needs 100ccs of EDM right now

richard ii: i need you to understand that richard ii died at age 33. he became king at age 10 and he was deposed at 32-ish and he died at 33. this motherfucker should NOT have been doing ANY of that he 100% should have been at the club. are you kidding. in shakespeare it’s not like he was actually running anything anyway. and the historical r2 was wayyyy more into art than governance or war, so really everyone would be better off. man should’ve been doing uppers to olly alexander songs and sponsoring new up-and-coming DJs, maybe one of whom is working on a 24-track album themed around a bunch of clubgoers telling their life stories while they all try to navigate public transit

edward iv: all this guy ever really wanted to do was drink, eat, and fuck. i know he would be taking fat bong rips if he could. however he did die at age 40 which is tilting past the point where i think, “wow, you shouldn’t have been doing that shit.” still, he would have enjoyed having stand-up sex with someone in the bathroom

henry vi: i know what i just said, and i know henry vi died at 49, but let us be for real: he absolutely should not have been in the government. he should have been anywhere else. however we must also be for real in acknowledging that henry vi would not like the club and would not want to be there

henry iv: i don’t think henry iv would particularly like the club either, but as i understand it, he was a pretty sociable and likable dude before he got himself into all of that. nevertheless, he’s a step below h6 because he got himself into all of that, whereas h6 needs some kind of rescue intervention

richard iii: richard iii died at 32, which does incline me toward thinking he would benefit. but he said himself that he isn’t shaped for sportive tricks, so maybe being at the club watching everyone else dance and flirt would simply fuel his deep-seated resentment toward society. at least the club is 18+, so there are no killable or marriageable teens in the vicinity, and perhaps doing some lines behind the bar would have fixed him

king john: nobody liked king john and he didn’t have fun. i don’t think the club would have helped
