TMAGP 19

Hey y'all,

Just thought I would try something this week and give a couple of thoughts on today’s episode. (I might do it again in future, I might not, let’s see.)

Personal Thoughts:
I have to admit I was nervous about this one. I have taken lead researching the historical elements of Protocol and part of me is always terrified that someone will drop me a line and be like “FYI this makes no sense” and then I realise they are right.

That said, I have checked and double checked though so it’s probably fine right? Also frankly I didn’t really have to make that much stuff up. History in this period is absolutely bananas.

Fun fact for this episode: The Gilded Gallows. Look it up.

Backstage insight: I don’t deliberately keep including Newton in my work. The guy just has a lot of links to him on Wikipedia y'know? Also I super enjoy writing old-timey.

Further Reading:
If you are interested in the topics I recommend the following (on the understanding that they do not contain secrets for the show or anything I just think they are good):
1) Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
2) Outliers Podcast S2E1 Crack of Thunder by Gabrielle Urbina of Wolf359 fame
3) The Ritman Library in Amsterdam
