In this week’s episode, “And They Were Roommates,” Pan and Beth celebrate the end of season 2 with all the nerding and shenanigans you could want. Gay monarchs? Check. Calling out historians for being homophobes? Check. A very serious discussion into the philosophical and aesthetic principles of standing cocks? You betcha.
Pre-emptive correction: Beth mistakenly said that Louis XV was the grandson of Louis XIV. In fact, he was his great-grandson. Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, reigned for 72 years and 110 days, and outlived his son and two grandsons, leaving his 5 year old great grandson, Louis, Duke of Burgundy, to take the throne at five years old. Also listen to find out what season 3 is going to be like!
Beth mentions a carcan necklace. Pan went googling and found this:
A carcan (or carcanet) is a jeweled collar or necklace. Carcanets were typically quite elaborate and formal, worn closely fitted to the neck. (source). Find us on Twitter, Tumblr, or Wordpress to see an example image.
Theme music is "Hens March to the Midden," (Traditional) performed by the talented @faeriesfanficblog (tumblr).
