Thanks for the back-up, Don.

Your character is doing a Drunk History! What is the subject of their inebriated edification of others?

This is a fascinating question, I actually once wrote a Drunk History fic with Poe telling the story of Rogue One: Where Hope Began.

In terms of my characters, I feel like Cassian would probably do a drunk history on maybe the formation of the Rebellion or perhaps Fest's history during the Clone Wars or whatever aspect of the Empire he's in the midst of taking apart. Since he's an analyst and someone in Intelligence, I feel like he's always doing deep dives.

Quentin's, hm, I feel like later in canon, it might be on Toby. Earlier, maybe on the history of blind fosterage as its something he doesn't like but is part of his life.

Charles would talk about the history of genetics.

Sameth would do one on his family's history. I think he's had to explain it a lot, that or the Charter, which isn't history so it would be more like Drunk explanation.

Moist would do one on Uberwald, there would be lots of grumbling and asides throughout it all. That or the history of city guards and how Vimes improved them.

Will S. would be about Robin and Nottingham.

William would be on popular dime novels compared to actual outlaws.

Demeter would be on Greek history in the South of France. (In college I actually wrote a paper about this focusing on the city of Arles and its history.)

Ivan would talk about how Gregor came into power.

Tumnus would talk about the Pevensies, it would be adorable.

Zenigata's is unsurprisingly, Lupin III. However, he's going to probably spill just how much he admires him throughout, even if he's really angry, and people are probably going to get the wrong idea. As Zenigata is a binge drinking alcoholic who self-destructs when he loses the 'game', he's probably honestly done this a few times and just doesn't remember it.

He could also happily drunk history on law enforcement in Japan, since his family's got a long and storied history with it, and it would be less amusing, but only by so much. There might be crying, though, as he weeps that he hasn't lived up to family expectations on catching Lupin, thought.


Zuko can't get drunk because firebender heat and the ability to MAINTAIN FIRE IN THEIR LUNGS, but if he could, you'd be in for a treat: he'd start in on fire nation history, and then he'd add WHERE HE'S FOUND OUT IT'S ALL A FUCKING LIE. There would be a lot of shouting, and probably at least a couple of things set on fire. (Probably more than a couple, actually.)

Abe no Seimei would do a Drunk History about the rise of the Fujiwara clan in classical Japan, and probably manage to work in something about how all the women of the court were writing each other love poems (they were).

YT would talk about the history of skateboarding, and particularly how it was revolutionized by the advent of polyurethane wheels and how bowl skating was invented because of a drought in California in the 1970s.
