But it was a May afternoon and with its perfume the fresh air was an open flower. So she thought it was marvelous and strange to be walking the streets—with the wind ruffling her hair. She couldn’t remember when she’d last been alone, with just herself.

Clarice Lispector, from Complete Stories; “Beauty and the Beast or a Wound too Great,”

A Victorian-era young lady visits her secret love in his city to explore the grand buildings, cathedrals, and parks surrounding the printing press shop where he is employed. Tensions between them build slowly with each stolen moment in the shadows and every brush of the hand, until they abscond to a wooded park so that they might have the space to speak freely and get closer - in every sense.

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)

"Now, the vow will be honoured, and my Lord brother's soul will return."

Radahn stans keep winning, but I personally am in Miyazaki's walls rn

#my art #shadow of the erdtree spoilers #sote spoilers #shadow of the erdtree #elden ring #godwyn prince of death #godwyn the golden #miquella the kind #miquella the unalloyed #promised consort radahn #fromsoft #i do not think critiques of radahn are as shallow as “pay $40 to fight a boss we already fought”#the dlc is good right up until the final boss #most of the new bosses are good #i loved midra and metyr and messmer and the dancing lion #radahn as consort just comes completely out of left field and just seems like a huge disconnect between the dlc and base game #radahn's story was done with the festival #and it's a good end! i like the festival and the base game radhan fight #but here he shows up again out of nowhere when godwyn is the obvious choice and a godwyn boss fight would be new and interesting #you can even still have your villain miquella story #puppeting his brother's living-but-soulless corpse unable to accept #that just because godwyn is breathing and follows his command like a deprecated computer program #even godhood can't bring his brother's soul back #his body must be slain and he must die a true death #we could have at least gotten a line of dialogue from radahn but nope #ok rant over #this pic is sloppy but idc #no cleanup we die like men #yes i know miquella's model technically has only three arms but i gave him four bc three looks silly

A young woman wanders from her cottage and her little village into the dark, dangerous wood in hopes of encountering her lover, of a neighboring village, somewhere within. She risks the evil that is said to lurk among the deep green forest time and time again in case she is lucky enough to meet him in their sacred grove of oak trees deep within.

Rated E.

It took me a while to read chapter 70 of Mistakes on mistakes until because I can't just. Youknow. read it. I have to be a total maniac and sketch everything I like as I read, so this whole chapter took me an absurd amount of time ahahaha

#maccadam #transformers #jazz #prowl #jazzprowl #momu fanart #fic fanart #THEYRE TOGETHER AGAIN YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS #Don’t get me wrong I love reading about them doing solo missions #But when they’re toheteher #OH the DYNAMIC #ALSO AHAHAHAH #I love when Prowl gets involved because I feel the strong connection to him whenever Jazz does…anything #Prowl is SO damn confused and I like the feeling of being not the only one who is confused ahahaha #but unlike me Prowler has a super computer inside his head so he eventually figures stuff out #while I’m just can’t stop making completely wrong assumptions👌#gosh I love this fic so much #this feeling of reading a story that is smarter than you~
