I’ve read six Hamlet retellings and I find it interesting that of those Horatio is the only character who NEVER gets his name changed. Everyone else will be completely renamed but not him.

Hamlet becomes Ben or Hayden. Ophelia becomes Lia or Felicia. Even Claudius gets the small change of Claude or Claudia.

But Horatio is only ever Horatio.

#I just think it’s a funny coincidence #what about his name makes writers let him keep it while everyone else is changed?#hamlet #Horatio

A conversation I had with my sister:

Her :"So Odysseus is Hermes' great grandson?"

Me: "yea"

Her: "So Telemachus is Hermes' great great grandson?"

Me: "yeps"

Her: "So everyone in the Hermes cabin at CHB is related to Odysseus and Telemachus?"

Me: "Uh... yes"

Her: "So..."

Me: "Luke?"

Her: "Yea, Luke. Is it a coincidence that he was best friends / an older brother to a daughter of Athena?"

Me:

Her:

Me: "fuck"

Her: "Tumblr?"

Me: "Tumblr."

actually the funniest moment in mdzs was when wei wuxian started yelling at su minshan at the guanyin temple for ruining his first life (by casting the hundred holes curse on jin zixun that led to everything going to shit), only for su minshan to hit back with the "actually not everything is about you. loser"

#mdzs #wei wuxian #su she #yanyan speaks #i know we mostly think that su she did in fact curse jin zixun on jiggy's orders but can u imagine how funny it would be #if it actually was a coincidence #and wwx ate shit in his first life by just this sheer coincidence #i'd never live it down tbh

I like that the narrator seemingly chose stanley as his targeted office worker that would best fit his story just by how he eagerly functioned and followed every command given to him. and then the moment stanley did not get to press his buttons, he made sure to make the narrator’s life a living hell. imagine choosing the guy who usually always listens and then find out he specifically has it out for you.

#crow thoughts #this is coinciding with the idea that the office was a thing before the parable #but also I just think it’s super funny #how he essentially was like yeah this dude LOVES being told what to do and pressing buttons #and then he specifically denies every command you give him #really really funny #sorry I need my daily fix of parable content and I haven’t gotten it yet #the stanley parable

i like him

#somebody needs to keep me 8 metres away at all times or else ill start chewing on him #i just want everyone to know if i end up making a character who happens to resemble harvey in any shape or form #it probably wasnt a coincidence 😐and it will happen again #if i remember maybe ill try getting stardew when it goes on sale.. my friend showed me her farm and she named her chicken after doja cat #or maybe it was nikki minaj i cant remember. and she also said smth about monsters and passing out if you stay out after a certain hour #idk how accurate tht is all i know is the funny fucked up grandpas bed #i read somewhere that harveys supposed to be in his early to mid thirties and i dont have a problem with it but i think itd be very funny #if hes actually younger than he looks hes just a med school postgrad lmao. idk how well that headcanon would hold up since ive #never played the game and idk how often ppl talk about his age or if itsjust an implied thing. i just think its really really funny #im trying to get into the habit of drawing poses so im using reference images to try and build up muscle memory #i found some cute pictures of two ppl playing by the sea shore and it reminded me of xin and sailor so im gonna draw em like that #i havent drawn em in so long..... maybe i should update xins reference since i changed their lore quite a bit #myart #my art #doodles #stardew valley #stardew #sdv #sdv harvey #kinda wanna see him whimper a little bit. as a treat

trying to make fanart of leona from @kiame-sama's humans are extinct twst au (warning it is a yandere au and 18+ so minors DNI)

#art #mine #my art #leona #leona kingscholar #twst #twisted wonderland #humans are extinct au #aint it funny that we both used the same card as the base for the pictures?#i promise i didnt copy your idea i legit just eanted a pose that easily showed his legs #also lion paws are surprisingly hard to freehand?#i swapped out the skull in his hand for a chess piece for a few reasons #one bc he's never eaten a human so i didnt want to feed into the stereotype of sunset savannah folk eating humans #and two bc of the metanarrative of it seeming racist for the place where beastpeople are also being the ones who ate humans most often #not that i think kiame had any intention of that sorta thing i think it's just a really unfortunate coincidence #but it starts out with the weirdness of the canon africa stand-in also being mostly known for beast people living there #as in actual animal people #and there's way more horrors about real life colonial history that make the twst au feel...weird to have those real events flipped #again im not upset or calling out the author of the au or anything im just sharing my perspective and comparing and contrasting this au #it's mostly an interesting exercise for me rn #but anyway! i got tired and never finished coloring the sketch but i really liked the sketch so here!

there's something sadly funny about the way that Kaladin goes into literally every situation thinking "Too bad I'm not cool anymore 😔"

I mean. I get it. Depression fucks your brain up and you feel detached from yourself and any skills you have or had. The PTSD and chronic fatigue are keeping him from doing things he once managed with far less effort. And it's rather impossible to feel like you can just... do things like you used to when you're struggling at a basic level to simply be.

Still, literally everyone who knows him is like "Kaladin you're so storming cool" and he goes "They're referring to the person I was, who is dead. I'll never be cool again. I'm sorry."

The most hilarious thing? He walks into these moments, thinking 'too bad', and then he does the most objectively amazing thing possible while everyone else just watches in awe.

Kaladin, three seconds after absolutely changing everyone's outlook on life: Aw, it's too bad the person I just was died again. Guess I have to find something else to be cuz I sure can't pull that off anymore.

#this ramble brought to you by the scene near the end of ROW where Kal is about to defend the last node and is like #“would be cool if I was here. too bad I'm dead. I'll try to pretend one last time”#meanwhile everyone adores him just for still trying. still daring to fight.#I guess the point is you're not dead and you're not useless and you're not failing to measure up as long as you're still fighting #Just Brando writing writing painfully accurate mental illness as usual #kaladin is fr me every time someone says something nice about a fic I've written #I act like it was a one time thing and I'll never pull it off again #me three hours after publishing a fic: yes thank you but it's too bad I don't think I'll ever write again. I know.#like oh you were emotionally impacted? what a funny coincidence; I'm sorry for tricking you into believing in me; that was rude of me #meanwhile the 509k ao3 word count and repeat readers: 💀#kaladin stormblessed #stormlight archive #stormlight archive reread #rhythm of war reread

sometimes the trans-specific rook dialogue is nice but sometimes it's just hilarious. davrin was flirting and rook was given an option to tell him about it but he went "are you sure you're okay with .........what i am..." and davrin replied "? Well. what are you." which is probably not the ideal response to that situation but you really can't blame him for thinking rook was about to reveal he was a werewolf or something.

#veilguard spoilers #interestingly tho i think the game remembered what i told maevaris about his coming out? because he mentioned #it to davrin. but i genuinely cant tell if that's a coincidence or not #davrin's response is very funny bc he basically just doesn't even address it and says hes wanted to fuck you from day one #choosing to believe that's just a brilliant character choice and not something everyone does #it makes me want to write the scene where marcus and anders first Talk About It though because it's also very stupid

mission launch for minkowski's crew was in march 2013. ostensibly, they were put through some mission training, though the extent and effectiveness of that is kinda dubious. pagliacci takes place in 2013, exact date unspecified. but it has to be early. let's say... mid-january.

eiffel thought he had ruined the rest of his life before he'd even turned thirty. he probably spent his thirtieth birthday in jail. and then... for some number of days, weeks, maybe even a couple of months, he exists in this state of, well. of limbo. cutter gets him released from prison, and flies him out to canaveral. he doesn't speak to his family, obviously. they don't want to hear from him, and don't even know. he's still a prisoner, but no one around him knows that, either. at some point in this time frame, goddard first exposes him to decima, before hilbert even knows who he is. and he lives wherever goddard is accommodating him, and he has to go about his day-to-day life in this transitory state between a 26-year sentence he'd just started really grappling with, and the very immediate reality he's now about to be sent into deep space instead.

they give him a certain amount of freedom; it's not like he can go anywhere. he doesn't do much, anyway, is not feeling appreciative for his momentary second chance at life, given the circumstances. he blows off most of his mission training, and they're surprisingly lax about that, which in retrospect probably should have been a sign. he sits around and smokes, mostly. gets takeout food. but he goes to see movies, as much as he can. as much as he wants to punish himself, he needs to do something, or he'll go crazy, and it's not like he'll get a chance to see a movie in a long time. he was already resigning himself to maybe never going to a movie theater again.

the film adaptation of les misérables was released in december 2012. it's entirely feasible it could've been one of the movies he saw in this time period. i think the idea adds some resonance to his shared reference with minkowski in the finale, at least, in the way it pulls things full circle. intentionally or otherwise. and, incidentally, the 2012 film adaptation of les misérables, a story that notably features an ex-convict protagonist seeking redemption, was released on december 25th. call that serendipity.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #i don't know. just a thought. just some coincidences i think are kind of neat.#and @ beth hephaestuscrew i'm so sorry i asked if i could reference our conversation and then reworked the post #but in spirit i want everyone to know that this thought came from a conversation with her a while ago #when she was writing her minkowski musicals essay. go read that also. putting this part in the tags but #i think it would be funny if minkowski never got around to seeing it and actually gets mad at eiffel for it later like #THAT'S what you were doing? instead of learning basic safety protocols or how to Operate Our Space Station??#you don't even like musicals!! and i was busy!!#i don't know what her opinion on the movie adaptation would be but i am sure she has strong opinions about movie adaptations of musicals

So In Stars And Time is out and I'm a little flabbergasted

See, I have not heard of this game at all before it came out and started seeing it on my Tumblr, and it looks really cool! Nice artsyle, interesting gameplay, but the premise took me by surprise.

Basically, at least from my understanding, you're trapped in a time loop by some higher power (maybe that character with a star for a head), and are working to break free from it.

I don't have a problem with this at all. What leaves me flabbergasted however is the sheer scale of a coincidence I have encountered.

I've been working on my own story (I guess you could say that) following a scientist-looking fella, who learns that they are in a time loop (which is actually a repeated experiment in order to create the perfect star) which started because of a deal made they with a higher power (who I imagine to basically be Bill Cypher if he acted like Ford) and it would follow the scientist trying to break free.

But the cherry on top? I designed my higher power in a way which looks a lot like the star person from ISAT.

Ya see what I mean?

But what I find so funny/confusing is that this was sheer coincidence.

I couldn’t have copied them because I started work on this project long before I knew In Stars And Time, and they couldn’t have copied from me because I never posted anything about my project until now (and also because I practically don’t exist).

So the way I see it, I have encountered the biggest coincidence of my life, and I find that hilarious in the grand scheme of things.
