#. status fb

[zlarirosa]

they're official

[arsenicflame]

Izzy's never had any social media- why the fuck would he?- but there is a facebook account out there with his name, made for him by Ed back in the days when it was the hot new thing, and everyone had to have a facebook account. Theres a sum total of three posts on there;

The first two, made when Ed opened the account, marking that he changed his profile picture (Ed's favourite of them, armoured in leather but grinning at each other, full of love, like theres nothing else that matters in the world), and that Ed changed his relationship status now Izzy has an account- "Edward Teach is married to Izzy Hands"

The only other post, made more than a decade later, is Ed changing his relationship status to single.

ok i can't say it for sure but i'm almost certain that my evil ex best friend called off her engagement and good lord it feels like christmas day

Jon risingers wife divorced him after reading rpf between him and a male coworker and assuming it was true lol. His coworker had to testify in the court they were in fact not fucking

ok let’s break this down bc i had never heard of this man in my life and i don’t know anything about rooster teeth but after 20 minutes of googling it seems pretty clear that

1. his coworker did not have to testify in court bc it was removed from the case after jon explained to his ex that it was fanfiction

2. that suggests that it actually wasn’t the only reason they got divorced

3. he and blaine talked about it on their podcast after which makes it seem like it doesn’t make them that uncomfortable

4. those clips were then turned into two animated adventures videos with a combined 3.5 million views (both have ads)

5. maybe his ex wife is just stupid?

me when an overwhelming majority of people will ignore a deadly pandemic even in a MASSIVE SURGE just because of what the government said and because of silent "peer pressure" (which is actually just seeing other people not wear masks lol)

I only ever straighten my hair before I cut it these days (it’s naturally pretty wavy so straightening it is the only way I can cut it without a disaster occurring) and every single time I’m instantly transported back to like 2006-2013 and I wonder how the fuck I had the energy to do this bullshit every single morning.

@the-overanalyst ah, theatre! you're thinking of the four kinds of tragedy 1) complex tragedy, made up of peripeteia and anagnorisis 2) the tragedy of suffering 😢 3) the tragedy of character 4) the tragedy of spectacle 😱. These go hand in hand with the four types of conflict: man vs. man, man vs. nature, man vs. self, and man vs. wild.

!! sorry to be that nerd who adjusts their glasses and says "umm, when you say literally you mean actually" but I have to point out people who are reblogging the above thinking that ideology is the same as the definition of the adjective "tragedy" and the noun "tragedy" applying to real world events are the example of how the word "tragedy" is misused. In reality and in the times when tragedy had one definition, there was: tragedy (preventable) and travesty (unpreventable). This changed with the mandala effect (a phenomenon in which a large number of people share a particular false memory) ex: thinking it's just "blood is thicker than water" when it's fully: "blood is thicker than water, but chosen relationships can be stronger than blood ties". After the ME set in, "Tragedy" took on multiple and conflicting definitions. Let's go back to the basics.

**Some travesties can be tragedies, but not all. And not all tragedies are travesties.

tragedy: (the og) a catastrophic event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress that could not have been prevented

ex: natural disasters like hurricanes and volcano eruptions (not caused by global warming), death due to old age, having/dying from an incurable yet unsolved disease like multiple sclerosis, drowning when your lungs are full of water - it's JUST going to happen, smaller animals statistically prey to larger animals -- *I'll put God/religion as a side note here (I'm not personally saying it's fact, but others believe it as such and it would be included in their full definition of tragedy) along with fate/deities/powers-that-be = out of a being's (human or otherwise) control derived from: tragic - great sadness due to death or suffering

travesty: an event causing suffering, distress, shock and upset that could have been avoided.

ex: shootings at schools, a lot less people dying on the Titanic, romeo not dying by drinking poison when he visited juliet because he saw her wake up, cancer because someone smoked for 30 years, people causing global dimming, oil spills, "b*mb" trains, people who actively choose not to evacuate dangerous zones when warned to and then dying, sunburn when you were carrying sunscreen typical definition: (n) sham, mockery, parody - YA GET IT? MAN MADE, CREATED!! A V O I D A B L E ! ! !

Brittanica almost did right by me by saying: something that is shocking, upsetting, or ridiculous because it is not what it is supposed to be,

but then the example said travesty and tragedy were the same 😑 (curse you, mandala effect)

"This shooting is a tragedy," says spokesperson, p0lice chief, news anchor ALL THE TIME. Um, no - no it was literally AND actually avoidable. Their finger was not strapped down to the trigger by an irreversible disease or hand of God that they physically could not fight at any form in any state. IT 👏 IS👏 A 👏 TRAVESTY👏 IT IS AVOIDABLE.

You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it. - Paulo Coelho

sorry to get on an English major's soapbox on what is an eloquent post, but writers from books, shows, movies, fanfics, quotes, ads, and speeches get his wrong EVERY DANG DAY.

Jealousy/envy and tragedy/travesty and yeah I WILL throw in literally/actually have become victims of the mandala effect or meaning the exact opposite of their original definition.

Thank you for your time.

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.

inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.

both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.
