Also, weird history related obsession s general.
Im not as autistic but i like pretending im from frontier times when i hunt squirrel with my muzzleloader
>>422764
Pretend that I'm a general or royalty or leader or just normalfag from a different time period when I'm alone.
It's gotten progressively more and more intense, with physically moving around pretending to do things and talk to people that i imagine and fighting imaginary enemies.
also tied very closely with my sexual desires. almost always fap to a historical female, often medieval royalty. I pretend to be her spouse or a forbidden lover.
Basically, I live my life (which is relatively functional) asking myself "what would <insert historical character> do in this situation?"
>>422764
When I was in 3-4 grade, I used to be obsessed with the (American) civil war, I carried around some giant 1500 page volume on civil war battles and read it instead of paying attention in my classes, every time I got to choose what movie my family would take out from Blockbuster I would choose Gettysburg or Dances with Wolves (because of the opening scene), and I had a union rifleman's hat that I would wear around everywhere. My parents basically just ignored it and made me buy my own books and toys (but didn't give me any chances to earn more than $.50 at a time, naturally) and it went away eventually.
In a more recent bout of autism, I learned pipe and tabor and started playing it on my school's quad from time to time. It's not so bad because people will come up and talk to me to ask questions about the instrument. I even got a lunch date out of it once.
When I was maybe five years old I watched a movie about Ceasar. I was enthralled and loved it. When Ceasar was murdered in the senate house I cried and was physically shaken for weeks.
I always daydream about time travelling to Australia, New Zealand or The Americas 5,000ish years ago and trying to get them as much technology as possible and then travelling forward in time and learning about how the European explorers travelled to the new world only to see a society more advanced than it or the super interesting consequence of seeing empires/kingdoms or even New world explorers trying to invade the west.
I'm not a SJW so it's not white guilt or anything I just think it would be super cool to see what reality would be like if these entire peoples on continents didn't get BTFO so hard.
Common fantasies that I have include basically using a fleet of drones to drop a bunch of different seeds to give the primitives as many chances to develop awesome agriculture as possible and releasing a bunch of horses, cattle, camels and donkeys into the wild in the hopes that the natives will domesticate them. Then travelling maybe 200 years into the future and trying to prod them along with hints about gunpowder or whatever.
The most recent fantasy I've had is when I learned that the Maori didn't even arrive in New Zealand until 1000AD (or relatively late) - I was thinking how awesome it would be to get the entire population of Pompeii right before Vesuvius erupted and putting them on New Zealand in 77AD. I wonder how advanced they could get limited to New Zealand, how their society would develop, how much their language would deviate from vulgar latin and how the pacific islanders and European explorers would react to seeing a European civiliization descended from the Romans in the middle of fucking nowhere.
>>423284
No need to give them tech.
Just give them [spoiler]Christianity[/spoiler] and they'd be ruling the world.
>>423284
I'll add some more to this.
I often fantasize about shipwrecking a viking fleet in the carribean around 200AD and letting them conquest the Americas and hopefully integrating within the local population but bringing horses, superior weaponry and resistance to some diseases and seeing how they would be able to resist.
Another idea I had was travelling a billion years into the past and terraforming Mars and Venus, putting a few species there and seeing what direction evolution would take and how it would contemporary humans and their spacefaring ambitions or even if intelligent life would happen.
>>422764
I occasionally have a bizarre fantasy of traveling back in time to say, the Roman Era, and using my basic college level but hardly even that good understanding of mathematics to dazzle people who have never heard of things like Calculus.
>>423364
Do you think it would have a massive impact? Were the romans as advanced as the Greeks? I'm a humanities student who failed math every chance I got so I have no clue.
Was all obsessed about German history
HRE where they were always just that close to rebuilding Charlemagne's empire but then the pope fucks them over at the last minute.
The German states that end up becoming kingdoms in all but in name
Prussia that seems to pop up from out of nowhere and goes from non-entity to most powerful German state
That awesome unification from Bismarck
and how the third Reich was just the weakest in the trilogy (the "Return of the Jedi" of German history)

If you had given abos infrastructure and weaponry, they would have been able to destroy the europeans because of how immensely physically able they once were.
Nowadays they're completely fucked up because they can't adapt to the rest of the world.
For that reason the sentinelese are probably the smartest indigenous group out there, just look at them compared to the other negrito tribes in their area.
>>423369
The Greeks had pretty advanced srithmetic and geometry, but incredibly primitive algebra and no conception of Calculus. A good high school student literally knows more math than the best of Greece in AD 100.
>>423237
I want Caesarcucks to get out of my Republic
Sometimes I used to pretend Im a german soldier in 1942 working as a camp manager and field tactician.Typically there was nothing weird with it seeing as how I also had pretended i fought in the desert theaters and always worked with Romell, Desert Korps. I eventually grew up though
I've had the idea of going to Europe during the outbreak of the Black Death. I would bring some modern medicine for a cure. This might be seen as performing miracles and I would be recognized as the second coming of Christ.
I constantly read and watch everything about the iraq war, want to visit iraq and idolize Saddam Hussein and my friends call me an Iraqiboo.

Well that settles that then.
The year before the Titanic film came out, I was doing a project for science class and ended up having to use the encyclopedia sets. I was flipping pages looking for something when I spotted it: a picture of this guy that stood out to me for some reason. The guy turned out to be Jack Philips. I read about him, then about the Titanic, and everything fell into place. I quickly became obsessed. I repeatedly checked out all of the Titanic books my school library had, becoming enamored with Jack Philips (to be fair, just look at him) in particular since he started it all.
The movie came out shortly after the obsession began and of course I begged my older sister to take me. I ended up becoming a sobbing mess during the sinking scenes. When I got home I read my books and cried more. Now, the movie's popularity worked in my obsession's favor: suddenly there were 2879343 more Titanic books, everyone was talking about Titanic, Titanic shirts, keychains, auctions, the works. I did chores and went around the neighborhood doing everything I could to get money so I could buy things that weren't books (my parents bought me books freely but beyond that, it was christmas/birthday only) and ended up buying things like necklaces with coal in them, that cool 3d foam puzzle, etc. When the movie was released on VHS I watched the second tape so much it got stuck in the VCR from the constant rewinding.
The obsession tapered off as I got older but it's always there, laying dormant. Every once in a while I get bit by the Titanic bug and dive back into my old books, watch documentaries, new videos, and end up stuck on Titanic for a few weeks. Earlier this year when that Titanic: Honor and Glory demo was made the obsession came back full force once again.

Often when I see various modern things, especially music or music videos, I imagine showing them to various people from history and wonder how they'd react to shit like Nicki Minaj.
Also when walking in the street I've pretended I was showing some historical figure around, usually Napoleon.
>>423771
Australia would be almost impossible to defend from raiders, ocean invasions and piracy and I think that they would trade with other peoples bringing them up to spec. Heavily fortified coastal forts would be pretty resistant, I think it would be cool to see how the country would turn out tho.
I fantasize about what would happen if you saved the Carthaginians by moving them to North America. How would their trade accumen and technology impact the development of the Americas? They were more advanced than the Romans were.
>>424715
If _____ went to America is always a fun one, because you'll find something interesting for almost every ethnic group.
Mongols? US Cavalry fighting Sioux Keshiks would be cool.
Chinese? An agarian sinic society on the east coast spreading metallurgy through North America early could make for some empires
Vikings are a given.
Ethiopians? An orthodox Iroquois Confederacy tinged with local folk religions.
Arab traders connecting Mesoamerica and North America through the Sonora or Poles on the great plains, you could drop just about anyone into the Americas before the actual discovery and you'd have an interesting story, though how they got there is the part that's harder to justify.
>>424115
are you literally fucking retarded

Is that guy Bokassa?
I download thousands of history-related pictures, mostly of art and architecture, but also things like reconstructions and maps as well as a lot of books and articles, all sorted into different folders by civilization, culture, and period.
I guess it's not a very specific obsession, but I spend far too much time on this shit.

That's really about the time Chinese art entered it's golden age, which reached its height in the Song Dynasty but continued into the Ming. There are a lot of impressive earlier paintings too, but they don't match the later stuff and not as much has survived.
You should see Greek and Roman painting too, that stuff was way ahead of its time.

The first really impressive civilization in Southeast Asia (though there were plenty of earlier cultures) was probably the Hindu-Buddhist Medang kingdom, between about 717 and 1017, which saw its golden age up until about 929 AD when their capital in central Java was abandoned and moved to the east. Their architecture, both Hindu and Buddhist, was some of the most impressive of their time.
>>424987
A lot of these temples were restored or rebuilt after being destroyed or damaged by earthquakes (Java's extremely volcanic, and some temples are found buried under ash deposits), but they use the original materials and are generally faithful to the original designs.

>>425012
Javanese architecture declined after 929 AD and didn't really revive until the 13th century. Meanwhile, Angkor started growing in the 8th century and expanded until the 13th century, growing into the world's biggest city by area (though not population).

Angkor itself was a huge complex of Hindu and Buddhist temples and palaces surrounded by a relatively low-density city that stretched on for miles. The whole thing was supported by what must have been the most elaborate irrigation system in the world, with huge reservoirs and canals linking the whole city. In the very middle of it all was Angkor Thom, the central walled part of the city, built after 1181.
Roads extended from Angkor to the far reaches of the empire, where there were thousands of other towns with their own temples, especially in the Khorat Plateau (now eastern Thailand).

Not really /his/ related but when I do retarded or autistic shit, I just pretend in my head I'm a secret agent or a superhero or some shit so I don't feel stupid about it doing it.

I guess I'll just tell one of my weird stories:
I've visited Rome twice and the absolute strangest thing that fascinated me on those trips was just some original marble floor in the Coliseum I was standing on while waiting for my friends.
I can't explain it, but there was something absolutely fascinating just thinking about how that view I had right there, of that simple, boring marble floor, was at least at one point, the exact same view that someone who lived in ancient Rome had, someone who felt the same human emotions I do, someone who might have been thinking about a conversation they had earlier with some girl they liked or worrying about money they owed a neighbor, who's entire world consisted of what I now read about in books and who couldn't even fathom the world that I now live in. For one brief moment that same person saw the same dark and light spots on that tiny slab of marble.
It's weird I know, but there's just something about those strange, humanizing connections that make me love history.
I've had a few extremely autistic interests.
When I was 8-9 I became obsessed with late 19th century/early 20th century ocean liners. Probably because I watched Titanic, I drew pictures of ships - constantly - I read everything I could find about them and watched as many documentaries about them as I could. About the Titanic specifically I had an encyclopedic knowledge of it, I remembered everything from it's construction, design, size, floors, the architects who built it. Literally anything you can think of about the Titanic, I knew.
When I was 10/11 or so I became obsessed with Nazi Germany. (I think my interest in ships had led me to the Bismarck, which in turn led me to the country) I'm not even /pol/ or a nazi, I just thought it was really interesting. I read dozens of books on the topic, watched documentaries, war footage constantly. I would walk around primary school shouting Heil Hitler! and saluting.
When I was 14 or so I became obsessed with Rome, but more specifically the Holy Roman Empire. It was all I would think about, I memorised all the Emperors, I knew its history, laws, borders, wars, to an autistic degree. it's all I would even talk about it, if someone brought up a present day event I would start talking about something related in the HRE. I drew pictures of it, created alternate histories, possibly hundreds of pages of drawings, diagrams, laws, how it might've expanded and removed kebab and stuff.
That was the last truly autistic interest, I toned down a lot since then. Became more socially adept (though not much, but enough to realise shouting Sieg Heil or blabbing about thousand year old emperors is creepy/boring to normal people.) I did briefly become very interested in English law (and by extension Australian law) but not to the same degree, and my interested began to peter out after a while. Partially because it was just too much information (and the whole becoming self aware thing).
>>427085
And even though I recognise it's not especially useful, if I did go to unviersity, I probably would study a humanities subject. Science was just something that never really interested me to the same degree. I am at best a dilettante in anything scientific.
>>422764
Why that nigga treated so bad? Seems like he could still have been a productive citizen without ravaging an enjoyed point of focus.
>>422764
I absolutely love Augustus. Totally fucking badass who knew exactly how to play people and politics and seized his opportunity for greatness without hesitation.
>>422764
Sometimes I get really drunk, read some voluntarist French Marxism, and stumble around the streets breaking stuff while pretending I'm a psycho-geographer on a dérive.
The important thing is that I'm only pretending to be a psycho-geographer.
>>426829
>It's weird I know, but there's just something about those strange, humanizing connections that make me love history.
I think most people who love history understand this, feel intensely, don't worry anon, we're here with you.
I remember being in a museum and looking at just mundane daily objects, like a drinking cup from 2000 years ago and being completely enamored with it. Everyone else was looking at swords or tanks, and I was just staring at cups and shit. Thinking pretty much the exact same thoughts as you were when you were looking at the marble floor.
When I was in high school I became a weeaboo, the intense /jp/ level kind, but I quickly realized most anime sucks and instead became obsessed with the Japanese Empire and everything Meiji-1945. Growing up I had little autistic phases about other stuff but this one was the strongest one by far. I've already lived in Japan one year, still think Japan should have won the war and even more wish that America would have helped Imperial Japan fight against the USSR if soviet influence in the state department had never happened. Also I'm in the last few months of a 4-year contract in the USMC, and already been admitted to a university in Tokyo starting next year.
Also it's probably really autistic that I put on dreamy ambient or dreampop, close my eyes and imagine living in a 1960s communist country where every avenue for a good life is closed off so I just join the military so I can fly, and soar around majestically in a MiG-21.
And can physically feel aroused imagining the Japanese Empire and Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere existing today, and imaging how it would have developed in the past decades.
>>422764
I've become fascinated (obsessed) with Italian colonial forces. I've gone through all sorts of books in Italian digging up info on their TO&E's, ranks, formations, etc. just about anything you could try and find on them. I spent an entire summer researching them and the Italians in North Africa, including the crazy bastards that put 102mm coastal guns on trucks as AT weapons.
>mfw I became an Italiboo

fascinating as that period in Japanese history may be, it was ultimately better for Japan and the rest of the world that they lost
>>424261

Absolutely obsessed with Southern Italian history, family structures and culture (namely Sicilian). Don't know why, all I know is I have an entire bookshelf dedicated to Southern Italy.
>>428000
Same with me but instead it's the memoirs of key players in World War 2. My grandfather wrote a book about his involvement in the war that was later adapted into a film. I'm just fucking fascinated by the entire war.
You guys are fucking autistic. I love you all.

My nigga. Though frankly I find Korean era jets to be way sexier.
I have a slight obsession with sailing ships, and the sea in general. I've read half of the Aubrey-Maturin books, firsthand accounts like Richard Henry Dana, Melville, Kipling, etc. I've taken a boat tour on a Baltimore clipper.
I've looked into joining a reenacting crew for the few sailships kept around these days, but they obviously want sailing experience and it's an expensive hobby.
If it weren't for my gf I'd have joined the merchant marines by now. It's pretty much my backup plan if things don't work out.
>>428023
>My grandfather wrote a book about his involvement in the war that was later adapted into a film.
Wait, what?
>>428026
Forgot to add my obsessions. They usually dont last too much. Last one was with the templars, I like to think what would have happened had they never been killed.
I used to be obsessed with maps. I'd spend hours drawing and redrawing various parts of the world. At my zenith I could do things like freehand the coast of France from memory or be able to place all the major European rivers on a blank outline (but to a high degree of accuracy). I must have made thousands of maps over the years (maybe even around the 10k mark).
Also I'd draw political borders for imaginary alt-history scenarios lel

That's me.
I know the outline of all the world's watersheds by heart and the topography of every country on earth.
I usually pretend being transplanted into some ancient king and shaping world history in my image; leading military campaigns, diplomacizing, developing trade and technology, colonizing etc.
At least I know more about history and geography than anyone, but I can't help feeling I've wasted way too much time on this.
>>428812
But yeah nigga.
It's a legitimate problem.
I literally spend half of my free time envisioning myself as a grunt in one of the world wars or the leader of a historical faction with meta knowledge.
Spent my childhood reading old timey war books and I met my best friend because he's a late Roman Republic autism-beast.
I literally signed an the Army contract for my future commission while imagining myself becoming a WW2 Feldgendarmerie with the cool chest plate and everything.
I've had my eyes set on branching Military Police because of that since I was 8 years old.
I can't count the number of people I've freaked out by talking about history like an autist for hours on end.
>>425051
Started a few years ago maybe when I saw my country's pathetic airforce do a majestic airshow at the airport when I was docking off from a flight.
Ever since then, I've become pretty autistic about any and all aircraft, doesn't matter which era. If you asked me right now about any of them, I could probably tell you the specifications of it, just from the top of my head.
I also wanted to join the air force, but as I'm too tall I wouldn't fit in my country's MiG-21's. Oh well, one day perhaps. The autism roots apparently from my father, who was also a pretty big planefag back in his day, but he didn't have any modern simulators or headtracking like we have today, so he used his imagination to great span, and also built a fuckton of models
I have many different versions of 'The Internationale' in many different languages that I listen to (Along with a lot of Communist music: North Korean, Soviet, Chinese etc.) when I'm outside walking anywhere and I daydream about being involved in a revolution and slowly becoming a totalitarian leader and betraying the ideals of the revolution.
I wouldn't spend any money on it though, fuck that.
>>425052
I visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia last month, apart from the tourists it was beautiful looking at the complex and thinking that a few thousand years ago it was a city. Plus hearing the story of its creation, the wars with the Hindus and its influences, as well as its exposure to the vietnam war. Makes for a pretty cool experience

He wrote a book; Hollywood picked it up. This was in the 1950s. It's not any sort of modern blockbuster but it did star a young James Gardner and Jack Warden.

No, but I have one of being in an arranged marriage with this one attractive girl I hate, then her forcing herself on me.
I became obsessed with a hypothesized future historical timeline in which I was the leader of the West Coast faction of the Balkanized United States.
After diplomatic intrigue, I aligned with Midwest-based faction to launch a massive invasion of Canada to preclude it being used as a launchpad for an international force moving into the US to restore the federal government.
I drew numerous maps showing the routes that our invasion would take, including objectives, phase lines, staging areas, etc, complete with feint operations to draw the enemy into areas that would be bypassed.
I explained the maps and reasoning behind my imagined moves to some of my normie friends in my high school biology class. I don't know what I was thinking. There was attractive women in that class who I wanted to bang, and some of them had shown interest in me. I showed my power level too often though. That was probably the worst. Some of my friends know how I truly am, but my normie friends wouldn't understand. I let them see that time and looking back I realize my mistake.
I think I was driven to the obsession with this 21st century invasion of Canada scenario because I had re-discovered an old issue of Military History Quarterly that had belonged to my grandfather. It was published in the 1970s and discussed the color coded war plans from the 1920s and 30s, including War Plan Red.
Essentially I took an autistic fascination with War Plan Red and reimagined it deployed on a massive scale in the 21st century.

Care to drop some Wehrmacht officers?

honestly: the diverse geography along the US-Canada border and the complex invasion routes it creates were all I needed.

I often fantasize about either being a governor or a Roman province, or a warlord in a post-Apocalyptic Late-Medieval Europe style setting (complete with very nice plate armor, swords, lances, horses, etc.), only in the Americas (where I live). In both settings, people I know (from school) have various roles that I assign to them, and I imagine how I would interact with people in such a situation. When I do, I obsess over basing what I imagine myself having (in terms of armor, forces, garments, buildings, etc.) being based on historical examples I have seen.
Pic related: it is the armor I fantasize about being in in those settings.

Samefag here, forgot to add what some more details.
In the latter one, I usually try to get the TVA dams nearby working again, so that I can restore electricity to the surrounding area, as well as go on military campaigns around the rivers to secure more arable land and trade routes along the river.

are you me?
Generally I fantasise about militia uprisings in the first 3/4 of the 20th century.
My fantasies get rapidly bogged down in logistics.

Same here, except i have mine with the Third Reich (probably very common)
Sorry for shitty snipping, am lazy.

I don't know, am I?
It was a shitty day, or it was a busy day, or maybe it was a great day. Maybe they'd just lost money. Maybe they'd gotten laid. Maybe they had a job prospect coming up that they were stressed out about.
Somebody held this cup, and they drank from it. They thought while drinking from the cup about everything in the world except the cup.
One day, they no longer had the cup, and now we have it instead.
I pretend to talk to Benjamin Franklin all the time.
We usually talk about current politics and scientific advancement.
His likes: Telephones, sudoku, and the car
His dislikes: computers ("too impersonal"), 24 hour news cycles
I have a huge erection about American history from the revolution through to Antebellum
It genuinely feels like such an epic of state building and a history of a great people while my country was a fucking penal colony
does normal people fantasize and day-dream this much?
i used to fantasize whenever i had the chance: when i was in the bus, walking somewhere, cooking, inbetween classess. and every night i would willingly go to bed early so i have some extra time to fantasize before falling asleep. it got to the point where i would do it for 1-2 hours before falling asleep and half-one hour after waking up but before getting out of bed.

From when I was about 6 I used to think nazis just got a bad rap and existed before Hitler (as in he was the one who made them bad). So I used to parade around my room doing the Roman salute

I have an unhealthy obsession with a potential war scenario between NATO and members of Europe/Asia that aren't NATO. Despite how ridiculous an alliance of all non NATO countries is, I've gone so far as drawing fictional maps and battle plans and scenarios and shit. Never shown my power level. God help me if i do.

I get this sometimes with my German gf and I'm French as fuck so it's choice.
