s applepon glumshoe I really think Rasputin lucked out, in that being remembered by history as some species of giant unkillable sex wizard is something most of us can only fruitlessly aspire to. thisisatesttai He didn't luck out, he worked hard for that rep glumshoe he really didn't though he was just kind of a garden-variety creep, but the rumor mill did all the work for him and now he's a banger disco song glumshoe Oh l'm sorry can YOU heal Alexi Nicholaevich's haemophilia? Didn't think so. gaul-the-unmitigated to be fair, neither could Rasputin. Alexei very much continued to have haemophilia. isn't the current theory that he seemed to heal faster and have more spoons when Rasputin was around because Rasputin wouldn't let the doctors give him aspirin, a blood thinner? plague-chan-vs-the-world Ra Ra Rasputin Russia's wellness scamming fiend glumshoe RASPUTIN HEALS E prokopetz Fun fact: the conspirator who'd been made responsible for preparing the poison for Rasputin, Stanislaus de Lazovert, was a medical intern who'd studied under the exact same doctor who kept trying to treat Tsarevich Alexei's hemophilia with aspirin. Like, I feel like this should be taken into account when evaluating reports of Rasputin's miraculous immunity to poison. balderich-the-dead Did the guy who shot him also study under that doctor? E prokopetz No, Felix Yusupov was just a useless nerd who thought he knew how murder worked because he'd read a book. Based on the available historical evidence, the most likely sequence of events is as follows: • The conspirators attempt to kill Rasputin with poison-laced cakes, but fail; it's unknown whether this is because de Lazovert f----- up the poison, because Rasputin – who had a well-known dislike of sweets – didn't go in on the cakes as heavily as they expected, or just because a poisoned cake is a really stupid idea. • Seeing that the poison has failed, Yusupov gets Rasputin alone for a moment and shoots him once in the chest, causing him to fall senseless to the floor. Because he's a useless nerd who thinks he knows how murder works because he read a book, Yusupov is unaware that a single handgun shot is very unlikely to be immediately fatal, and neglects to finish Rasputin off, instead leaving the room to confer with his fellow conspirators. • When the conspirators return to retrieve Rasputin's body, he recovers from the shock of the initial gunshot and attacks them. Following some general panic, a third conspirator, Vladimir Purishkevich, opens up guns blazing; Purishkevich manages to miss several times in spite of being at point-blank range, but eventually strikes Rasputin in the head, killing him instantly. • The conspirators beat the s--- out of Rasputin's body just to be sure, then proceed to make a complete clownshow out of disposing of the corpse; the remainder of Rasputin's injuries are sustained postmortem. Pretty much everything else about Rasputin's miraculous invincibility is invented whole cloth, much of it by Yusupov himself in order to build himself up in his own published memoirs. (As icing on the incompetently poisoned cake, elements of Yusupov's memoirs were later incorporated into the 1932 film Rasputin and the Empress, which led to Yusupov suing MGM Studios for libel because the film strongly implies that Rasputin was f------ Yusupov's wife. The precedent set by that lawsuit is the reason those "similarities to any real person living or dead are coincidental" disclaimers exist.) naamahdarling That last fact took me off at the knees.

theaccidentfactory Follow I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby theaccidentfactory English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking s about the neighbor's son
