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

"content creator" is a corporate word.

we are artists.

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

You mentioned the baby Huey show when talking about the inexplicable "what was the audience for this?" cartoons of the 90's and why I don't disagree with that notion I do think there was some of that same energy in the 2000s as well, Baby Looney tunes and Loonatics unleashed anyone?

(With reference to this post here.)

I'm not sure I'd concur. Loonatics Unleashed was clearly a delayed reaction to the late 1990s fad for edgy reimaginings of classic media properties, and while the idea of doing that to the fucking Looney Tunes is misguided, there's no mystery about what target audience they were aiming for. As for Baby Looney Tunes, that's even more obvious – it was Warner Bros. trying to cash in on the then-lucrative cartoons-for-preschoolers market. It's hard to picture preschool entertainment being a big cash cow in 2024, but remember this was way back in 2002, before YouTube existed.

I need you to understand that you're DMing me out of the blue about a post from 2015 with – at the time of this posting – a whole 75 notes, and if I wasn't the sort of genetic freak who can remember off the top of his head every social media post he's ever made, this would be an utterly incomprehensible thing to say.

that chupi chupi chapa chapa trend on tiktok/insta is SO bimbo!reader and simon sorry i dont make the rules 🎀🩷

kadhofds the chupi chupi chapa chapa trend poppin up on my fyp is ghost (band) related so i had to search up this one and whyre there so many different versions of the dance?? either way, thats adorable!!

though simon doesnt dance with you, he is still in the shot when you do film – he may just be standing there but his gait is loose in happiness as he watches you with sappy eyes <33

so while you're bouncing along the beat, simon, with his deliciously thick arms crossed over his chest, just watches on. he's not even looking at the camera, easily dismissing your (thousands of) followers because all he is focused on is you.

some of your (and simons) favourite comments:

litolsunshine: god, me when? mE WHEN?

wolfwoodscocknballs: the seggsual tension between me and the highway

officialduolingo: @kumonofficial me and you 🥺🩷

thefishchips: ok but who can blame him for looking at her like THAT??? i would be drooling myself too if my gf is serving that much

soapmac: PLEASE EVEN WHEN HE'S FINALLY WITH HER HE STILL LOOKS SO WHIPPED @gazkyg @user110943079

gazkyg > soapmac: how did he manage to look even more whipped now that he's with her LMFAO??
