the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

People will try to convince you Jason Todd is the impulsive doesn't think before he acts type of guy and its funny bc Jason is almost comedic in how fucking long it actually takes this boy to plan out anything
#dc#dc comics#batman#jason todd#red hood#i mean#i literally cant think of a single universe#were jasons revenge plot#didn't include at least 1 year of planning#jason read the count of monte cristo and decided yes this dude knew what he was doing#even his most impulsive revenge plan#of putting a car bomb under the batmobile#needed so much planning#and then he had to spend hours slowly moving towards it#anyway my point is#i think itd be funny if it was a running gag that all of jasons plans#include just the most ridiculous amount of pre planning

Had a patient unwillingly toot while one of his buttcheek was out and about as I was tenderly applying myofascial release of his tight piriformis muscle that recently caused him to walk like a mechanical toy soldier.
#His buttcheek was clenched so tight#I was like wow he has a big trigger point#no#mans was just holding in his damn fart#smelled#so badddd#luckily#masked#I didn't gag#anyways#i am alive#patient was queefed but I reassured him it was okay#medical stories#physiotherapy

Ok so i played D's update first and the moment Ziryan came over to knock on the door i was like GODDAMN AGAIN???🤧🤧
Then i played X's update right after, and when X LITERALLY said that to them out loud i just died 😭 🤣😂😂
It's not their fault 😭😭😭
Poor Ziryan just gets saddled with "go interrupt the Crown with this important message" duty because they're one of the youngest guards... justice for Ziryan smh
#i didn't even intend to make this into a running gag#but then i noticed my propensity to make ziryan do it#idk they're just so easy to bully lmao i'm so sorry buddy#ask#anonymous#atoc spoilers#chapter 12 spoilers#x route spoilers

Some people might be unhappy about the cousins thing, some might be excited about it (me included).
But I think we can all agree on ONE thing.
Toichi is indeed alive and he sucks because of it.
#detective conan#dcmk#I feel so sorry for Kaito honestly#like- there's no justifying this#he can't justify it#and yusaku knowing??? I would honestly prefer if he didn't and he was trying to find him too#but of course he's gotta know because it's yusaku and he has to know everything doesn't he???#at least I hope it's dealt with nicely in the movie and not treated as some gag funny thing#gimme dramaaaa#movie 27 spoilers

I love posts about "overhated female cartoon characters" bc inevitably my girls PB, Rose Quartz, & Mabel will be there so you've got 2 pink-haired quasi-immortal war-crime-committing morally-grey queens and a 12 year old who likes boy bands and knitting sweaters.
#really puts into perspective how insane the mabel hate is tho ajshdgjasgdas#i want to draw fanart of PB & RQ babysitting her#adventure time#gf#mabel pines#su#su rose quartz#annoyingly everytime someone makes a post about them#you always get some clown in the comments going 'well [Insert one of the characters here] DESERVED the hate bc SHE-'#and it's like my guy. you are part of the problem. stfu#im still mad about seeing multiple ppl acting like amy sonicthehedgehog deserves to be shot bc 'she's a stalker'#y'all it is a cartoony gag which didn't age well which hasn't been a part of her character for like. Minimum of 10 years now#she is not a stalker she is a pink hedgehog with a giant hammer#sorry these tags are already a paragraph but im remembering the time someone i knew was mad about catra being redeemed#bc 'she's a war criminal'#yeah and? Based.

#ts4#ts4 edit#oc: nauthkee#i didn't have a caption idea for this so he doesn't get one#but. after reviewing his file...i have come to the conclusion that he unfortunately looks like this 90% of the time#eyebags dark circles expression & all#wears the same 2 pairs of boots everywhere even in summer#has 5 pairs of jeans that look exactly alike even though they're different#90% of his wardrobe is black and red aside from his comfy clothes#he has exactly 1 white shirt that says “community dick” bc yoni got for him as a gag gift on his birthday#he still wears it tho#no one ever knows how he manages to get laid bc he's always staring at people like he'll murder them for opening their mouths#the rbf is real#he DOES smile and isn't a complete dick but that's mostly at home and when he's not working#which isn't often

i know i'm preaching to the choir here but the "anime vs western cartoons" debates have always amused me greatly in thinking that you have to choose one or the other... Good Cartoons Are Good Cartoons Are Good Cartoons . they're cartoons. all united under the same love for the medium of animation c'mon now!
#i'd loved anime since i was at least 8 years old and very much had an 'obnoxious' anime phase growing up and thanks to good friends i've#been reunited and watching lots of excellent anime this past year#and it just amuses/boggles my mind a little that i've seen some people surprised or always hear the 'woah you like anime AND western#cartoons!?!?!?!' like. if it appeals to my tastes yeah i'm gonna like it!#and my tastes in anime tend to default more to the old school gag style anime which often has some western influence#a lot of shows i like keep making reference to western cartoons and fairytales! i just watched an ep of UY the other day where Ataru flirts#with Cinderella. an ep of Minky Momo had characters from Snow White and The Wizard of Oz#another UY ep directly references the animation of Snow White waking up#i recently watched a Shin-chan episode where a woman is reading him Snow White and Shin's like 'that's not her name she has another name#overseas what is it' and the daycare worker was getting exasperated because she didn't know LOL#plus Osama Tezuka's works are FULL of western homages.. Legend of the Forest rules#not saying that anime that references the western stuff is somehow superior but just moreso the lines are not as firm in the sand as you#think#and of course this isn't exclusive to anime. the casual racism is pretty much everywhere lol 'european cartoons are weird' etc#cartoons are cartoons... and cartoons are good... i just can't understand it

Who better to trust with a secret than a known liar?
anyways my apologies to b99 and happy countdown to the magolor bullying simulator release later this month!
#can't wait to send that silly little wizard to hell#was sort of screwing around with the backgrounds in this one hopefully it looks alright all together despite the shifting haha#meta knight#kirby#magolor#bandana waddle dee#king dedede#comic#my art#doodles#it is once again past 2am my dudes#i Refuse to edit at a sane time of day#anyways originally in panel 3 i was going to more closely parallel the b99 quote and have mk say that#he 'attends a class with captain vul for fitness and for fun'#but it got long and i didn't want to deal with shippers reading into a one off gag line lol#honestly still funny to imagine vul took the pictures though

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of
also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut
the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)
#hs#homestuck#dirk strider#eye strain#probably? if you think i should tag something else let me know!!#anyway hooray its time for rambling in the tags#so uhhh heres the teæ i've been sick for like a week and you know how it is when suddenly your throat becomes the main gunk warehouse#and you can't breathe lol. wish i could just pull it out. anywaaayy this is basically a vent piece for me being sick lol#also i could draw remotively the same thing with kris deltarune. oh how easy it is to project having a cold#though i have been also experiencing troubles with feelings recently as well....how fitting for dirk#speaking of the man himself (enough of me) his relationship with his own Heart...is peculiar to say the least#the thing i love about alphakids is that despite being so feral they were. so relatable. i cannot stress this enough how unwell they are an#and how they represented being a teen so well. yeah being 15 years old makes that to you#imagine being an emotional mess and trying to fit the 'norm' and act normal about your friends so youre not offputting#and then you fall in love with you friend and your ai clone falls in love with him too looool noone makes out of this one alive#uhh literally. godtiering stuff and dying remember#and speaking of it. tw for suicidal talk for the rest of tags#do you ever think dirk was suicidal. of course the part of when he teleports his head to jake was totally planned and he knew he would ->#wake up as dreamself but. don't you think the moment he cut his head off was sort of. cathartic. how much did he hate his own guts#beheading himself not only for the plan...but also because he thought he 'deserved' it#also wow he is a Prince and was literally beheaded don't you think its funny hahaa#sigh poor thing#this has ended on a not the very pleasant note hm#also fckkkkkk i didn't draw anything with rose/mary for the lesbian visabilty week#(putting the slash because tumblr search system has a dumb gag with showing you posts that contain the tag inside the other tag.#and i don't want this post to show up for the ros/mary fans because it's not!!!! its rose's father emotional crisis post!!!!)#update YOOOO WHAT THE HELL THE GIF HAS EVEN LESS PIXELS THEN I PLANNED fantastic#this your breakfast now tumblr. enjoy your crunchy flakes of dirks meltdown. mwah
