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)

i love matt boyd bc he spends the whole series pre-baltimore trying to give neil openings to tell him he has a thing for andrew and likely trying to figure out how to say “i support the fact that you like men but i think we need to talk about your taste,” and then baltimore happens and he’s like “oh nvm i don’t have to get into all that, i get it now”
like yes it is very funny how many times he aggressively side eyes neil and unsubtly prompts him to talk about his feelings, but it’s also so genuinely sweet how much effort he puts into being a safe person for neil to talk to if he wants or needs it, and how seeing the strength of andrew’s care for neil is enough to change his mind about them being together
#matt boyd#you will always be famous#neil josten#andrew minyard#aftg#that bit in the ec where nora says neil was matts best man#they love wach other so much your honor

I think about the theory in how you're never more than 6 degrees removed from someone in the world, and the best example of this was finding out one of my long time internet friends actually went to college with human pet guy/cybersmith AND had the pleasure of rejecting him from a job interview post grad
#the best part was that my friend didnt know cybersmith was internet 'famous' and was just telling me insane tales of this guy in his uni#until i put two and two together and realized who his awful classmate was

Young Cherik in our generation...
Charles: Hear me out... *sticks a picture of Erik Lensherr (an extrem pro mutant activist, a few years older than Charles, famous for his speeches) on the cake*
Hank: Why would you...
Raven: *also putting Erik on the cake in silence*
Hank: What's wrong with you Xaviers?
#Charles and Raven would be famous because of their rich (step)parents#but they distanced themselves from them#and they have a lot of followers on social media#Hanks their best friend#also famous for being a young genius#Erik was already in court for a few stuff#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#cherik#x men#marvel#magneto#professor x#xmen#hank#beast#raven

Would you consider this the greatest kiss? And we'll, and we'll dive right into the episode after this question that I had for Hannah though. Was this the greatest kiss in in in in television history? In sitcom history? I would say. -Lamorne

Like everything somehow like ticks every box of all the like, romantic fantasies that girls have at least of just like, wow. There was just like, it was authentic and it was powerful. He went back in for a, a little kiss at the end. it was just like, woo. -Hannah
