things plato would love about US democracy:

not an actual democracy

controlled by the rich

things plato would hate about US democracy:

the rich are idiots

people are allowed to be loudly wrong all the time

it grants ppl a(n albeit ineffectual) voice and lets them (at least believe they) have the right to make decisions abt the state/their lives/etc

#incomplete list i could definitely say more #plato #i just think its so fucking hilarious how so many ppl hark back to ancient greece #as the good old days #home of democracy #and I'm like. have you ever. actually. looked at ancient greece?#no? ok go ahead #no no it's fine there's nothing to see there #don't even look it's fine it's totally cool #you just say whatever you want abt plato #i would say go ahead and live in blissful ignorance but there's nothing to ignore so idk what i'd be talking abt!#hahahahaha

necromancer's lure

#artists on tumblr #starting the new year with some good old lesbians #what if the undead you summoned was really hot tho #then what #they didn't prepare you for this in wizard school #i hope the year has started gently for you all #i'm staying sane by petting our bunnies a lot #holding onto the slowly lightening days #and playing lots of d&d and pathfinder

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #unique magic posters #this was so unforseeable!#i hope malleus gets pumpkinified immediately and sebek has to carry him around on a little velvet cushion #i hope jade puts his plant knowledge to good use by being extremely judgy about the firmness of everyone's rind #i hope that everyone is still wearing their silly little hats as pumpkins #(i know they won't. but if we don't have hope we have nothing.)#and i'm still feeling like oogie's gotta show up later and menace jamil just by existing #perhaps we'll have to team up against him with the scullsman or something 👀#also just to get it out before being proven entirely wrong #my theory is still that he's from the past and we gotta teach him about the True Meaning of Halloween (aka candy and funtimes)#so he can go back to his own time and become the founder of modern-day candy and funtimes halloween or something #bootstrap paradox be damned #i could be entirely off-base but that's what i'm thinking right now #idk he just has the vibe of an old-timey boy to me #he's had the great misfortune of being born before there were hot topics where he could meet other jack skellington fanatics #too late for the black plague too early for the black parade 😔

Fanfiction in the late 2000s-early 2010s was wild bc you'd find a beautifully written story with the most compelling heart-wrenching plot you've ever seen and the author's note would be like:

Author with a username like ~SasukesWaifuxD~ : Ohayo gozaimasu! ↖(^▽^)↗, I'm sowwy it took me so long to update (๑•́_•̀๑)

tsundere twink from their fic : It was about damn time you idiot (눈‸눈)

~SasukesWaifuxD~ : Hey now! It's not my fault the plot bunnies kept wunning away fwom me (╥﹏╥)

tsundere twink: W-watever, it's not like I missed you or anything (💢,,>﹏<,,) b-baka!
