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)

Whenever Steve and Eddie go to a bar, the bartenders are always surprised by their orders. Everyone assumes that Pretty Boy Steve is going to get a complicated cocktail, something glitzy and interesting just like him. They also always think that Metalhead Eddie is going to be boring and get a tall beer or a whisky on the rocks, something hardcore to match his appearance.
In reality, Steve always gets the same Bud Light in the bottle because he doesn’t like how beer in a glass always tastes watered down. And Eddie always gets the most complicated fruity drink on the menu (sometimes recipes that he comes up with in his head). As much as he loves being drunk with Steve, he can’t stand the taste of alcohol and he needs the fruity taste to cover it. Much to the chagrin of everyone around them, this trend never changes, even as they get older.
(Depending on how drunk he gets, Eddie sometimes even calls out the bartender for judging them based on their appearances. Usually though, a kiss to his knuckles from Steve calms him down before he really gets going.)

Been taking a break from art by crocheting these funny dragon egg dice bags, here are some of my faves from this month!
I initially made these as gifts for pals during the March Birthday Rush, but they were so fun to craft that I just have more than a dozen sitting around waiting to be hatched into a good home.
They're up for adoption here on my new Etsy!
Now 30% off until 05/13 🥰🎉🌷

Is it just that premarital sex is sinful or is pegging more sinful than other forms of sex
Premarital sex and “disordered” or incomplete sex are considered equally as sinful (mortal sins).

For those who don't have Splatoon 2 Save Data on their Switch or who just haven't noticed, I think this little detail is worth pointing out:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personally, my theory is that Parallel Cannon bears a resemblance to Agent 4 because the Memverse contains the memories and souls of all the sanitised Octolings and Octarians from Octo Expansion. A lot of those Octo's were likely in the military before they were sanitised, meaning that lots of them probably ended up fighting Agent 4 back in Splat 2's story mode.
We don't know if or how all those memories/souls would be interacting with the Memverse, but from the Palette's we know that souls/memories can take physical form in the Memverse. Therefore, it would make sense if the large number of shared memories involving Agent 4 caused a change in how Parallel Cannon appears.
Agent 3 is likely a much more distant memory for many of the Octo's, if the Octo's from Splatoon 2 ever interacted with Agent 3 in the first place. Maybe Octoling Society has some form of compulsory short term military service program or something, none of the ones who fought Agent 3 were still around because they all finished their tours.
