historian

A student, archivist, and author of popular fiction. A quixotic hero. Eschews paradox in favor of imposing a coherent, and therefore false, narrative interpretation of the past. Still, without historians we would be even more clueless about our intellectual, political, social, and economic context. Historians create the narratives that shape our sense of heritage and our perception of "who we are." The study of history is therefore both futile and vital.

"Historian - a broad-gauge gossip." -Ambrose Bierce
"History does not repeat itself. Historians repeat each other." -Arthur Balfour

Historian Kinnie

The phrase called "Historian Kinnie" is about a individual who kins a historian either mentally sane or mentally unstable. Historian Kinnie's are capable of kinning historians such as Napoleon, Queen Elizabeth I, or even scientific revolution figures such as Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton (Mentally and emotionally unavailable, didn't get a chance to set the mode to easy mode when he's still in his mother's fallopian tube), Ptolemy. The set of historians that are named here are either sane or not sane, most people are known for having a mild kin for Isaac Newton himself and consider me.

I'm a historian kinnie (I kin *insert historian*)
