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'd love to have something witty to say here, but I think this one post speaks for himself in a way no words could.
Originally, I wanted to do a "simple" redraw of a silly meme, I have no idea HOW it eneded up being a four pages comic. And WHY there's also a JOJO reference within of all things. So uhm, anyway...
✨ Sources and references ✨
The "Dilf Detected Comic" [original unedited comic, meme format, meme format if you want the rebloggable tumblr version]
The "Oh? You're Approaching Me?" panel from the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (chapter 143)
Hope you've liked the Aries™ Rizz©® ok bye
#wren draws stuff#artist on tumblr#art#fanart#comics#saint seiya#saint seiya fanart#knights of the zodiac#los caballeros del zodiaco#cdz#les chevaliers du zodiaque#i cavalieri dello zodiaco#aries mu#taurus aldebaran#appendix kiki#aldemu#aries kiki#taurus harbinger#appendix raki#visually I had this drawing sitting on my desktop since August in a folder named “Aries_RIZZ_2024”#what else to say. First 2 images kinda ate with colors and backgrounds fr. WE'RE GOING PINK BOIZ (I thought I was a pastel blue person 😞😖)#tbh this is the first time I'm drawing Harbinger 💖 he's so silly I love him. Also he's like... meme material... I have to meme redraw him#also the jojo part eh. I think I could have done better but I didn't want to change the iconic pose too much and I end up like that#not bad but I think I could've add my own twist to it instead of simply copying it :/ next time I guess#or maybe spending less time adding 300 flames overlay effects hmm... I don't know really😬🤯#also raki my beloved 🥰💖 might draw her a bit more (she's funny to draw and I'm tired of drawing only men)#Also yes Mu is trying super hard to rizz poor Alde 😳 Kiki tried the same with Harbinger#but he slept for most of the original Aries Rizz Class. Kids these days don't have attention span anymore 🙄🙄🙄 (boomer humour or whatever)

[ID in alt]
I'm not explaining this one. if you've seen the comment sections you know what this means.
#''why did u hand draw this meme instead of just copy/pasting images into the meme template'' look I don't do this shit cause it's easy#''why is vriska drawn in a canon accurate style while milo is more realistic'' cause I think it's fun to draw milo realistic#''did vriska actually die in 2016'' idk but the original homestuck ended in 2016.#no more questions#what happens next#whn#val art

louis loves lestat, a part of the tragedy was/is that he loved/loves lestat so much and can't STOP loving him, that's why he couldn't fully kill him, why he lets him come back home after the drop, why dreamstat is even a thing during paris and stayed with him for 77 years, even when he tried to let him go he couldn't move on or forget about him because he LOVES him
#i feel like i'm copying what somebody else said here so if i am i'm sorry xoxo#wahhhhhh guys i am going through it#i don't understand why ppl don't think he ever loved lestat you can see it in his every action his every facial expression idk guys like#i need to rewatch this show so bad guys#i can't find s1 anywhere aaaaaa#when louis says 'if you were the last vampire on earth it would be enough' and then turns to lestat ...that is all the proof you need that#he loves him#once again waaaaaaah#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#loustat#i have so many thoughts rn but i am going back to reading instead yay

inspired by my own tags on this excellent post
#i decided to make it ‘4-48 cloud recesses’ instead of ‘13-30 Kaba Church’#4 is the episode whether xiyao meet in cql and 48 is the start of the nmj empathy section in the novel#you dont care#mine#mdzs#mdzs says things#i had intended to find a transliteration of what is translated as ‘cultivator’ but the only resources i could find were general guides#they had multiple different phrases and no explanation what the differences were#the long number is just copied from the original meme not anything mdzs specific#if anyone wants to write a proper ID for this id be so grateful#i wrote something quick to at least help someone know what the image was if it didnt load but its not going to help for sight impairments

This is kinda relating to my last post but I think some of you are mistaking Shen for an albino peacock.. cause he’s not
I mean, I don’t really blame you if you mistook him as one cause honestly I’m just a weirdo who reads wikis.
(skip everything and just read the bottom if you don’t wanna read my explanation)
.
.
Shen is a peacock with leucism, not albinism.
(Leucism definition on the left, albinism on the right)
Here’s him compared to an actual albino peacock. As you can see, the albino has a pink and white pigmentation due to a lack of melanin, whereas Shen despite being mostly white is still full of color.
(And no, it’s not because it’s a silly cartoon. The creators of KFP had originally intended to make him albino to make him look “sickly” which would explain why he was neglected by his parents. They made the decision to scrap that in favor of having him be a peacock with leucism so there was no excuse or tragic backstory to justify his entitlement and actions)
.
.
And if you REALLY don’t believe my explanation, here’s the KFP wiki page backing me up!
#also… my post was a joke if you couldn’t tell??#it’s cause when looks like a carbon copy of his father just white instead of blue#also if we put it into context#would the characters even know what an albino was??#if we use real world events as a point of reference gunpowder.. which was relatice new in the kfp story.. was created in 1044#albinism was not recorded or known about as much until 1908#so yeah maybe shen’s father is justified in being slightly iffy about whether Shen was his son or not 😂#AS I SAID THOUGH- I was joking#I didn’t think anyone would take me seriously#the amount of people trying to dm me on Instagram and ‘correct’ me was a bit obnoxious so I didn’t want it to get to that point on here#lord Shen#peacock#Kung fu panda#Kung fu panda 2

Enjoy these doodles of Dark from A Dark Among the Lights by LuckyLectio (with a bonus Wild!)
#fun fact: when i first drew dark i used the dark tunic from botw/totk as visual reference#but since wild is right-handed (unlike time)#the sheath is technically on the wrong shoulder#it was too late by the time i realized but i figured it didn't matter too much since he never uses the sheath on his back anyway#which has evolved into my headcanon that dark at some point either started mirroring time's image instead of directly copying#or just...straight up doesn't realize that extra belt#is supposed to serve a purpose beyond being part of the outfit#and as such didn't notice that over the years he started wearing it 'wrong'#also i can't decide what color to make his insides since black would be a pain to draw so i'm making it monster gut purple in the meantime#my art#adatl#dark link#lu wild

gnc and butch women (cis AND trans) and transmascs are punished for performing masculinity past certain thresholds of arbitrary attractiveness because people that cishet society categorizes or clocks as 'women' are not supposed to perform masculinity. hope this helps 👍
#spitblaze says things#this is the last thing im ever gonna fuckin say on the topic. im purging this stupidity from my brain once and for all with this post#there is an intersection of transphobia and misogyny here and idc what you wanna call it but to deny its existence is weird to me#transfems' hypervisibility means they have a lot of recognition but its absolutely not a privilege#transmascs' invisibility means they can stealth and fly under the radar easier which is better but not by a lot#and the assertion that nb people have to 'pick a side' so we can decide how to treat them is fucking ludicrous#there are absolutely differences in our treatment and our needs but a lot of it boils down to the same shit.#we are women when they want to deny us agency. we are men when they want to deny us support. this is true for everyone under the umbrella#and it's MEASURABLY worse when you're not white#anyway. im kinda over leftist groups who spend all their effort arguing about theory instead of doing anything in practice#so the next person who claims butch lesbians have 'masc privilege' or that transmascs dont actually face any sort of unique oppression#is getting smacked with a heavily vandalized copy of abigail schrier's Irreparable Damage#like again idgaf what you call it. you can just call it 'transphobia and misogyny' if you want im not a cop#ive just seen too many people who claim that it doesnt exist at all and im done with letting this take up brainspace#so im hanging up this sign and leaving. goodbye#i saw us go through the exact same shit with bisexuals and asexuals and gay men and frankly im not thrilled that its at my doorstep again#we go through a lot of the same shit but different populations do in fact need different kinds of support. thats it

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??
#okay incoming rant about this series#i read the first book when i was 10 or 11 and i was absolutely obssessed with it. i read it so many times i had the entire story memorized#the issue was that i could not find the rest of the series anywhere. it was either sold out or out of stock#and then i found out that only the first 3 books had been translated into my first language so at that point i kinda gave up on them#anyway#flashforward to a couple of weeks ago#i was re organizing my bookshelf and on the back i found LYKY (is this how y'all are abreviating it??)#and remembred how much i loved it#and since i'm now fluent in english and was stuck at home recovering from a surgery i decided to download the entire series and read it#to find out what the fuck happened afterwards#long story short i read all six books in 4 or 5 days#and i haven't stopped thinking about them since#it's actually so funny how little information we have in the first book#i went all of these years thinking it was mostly a silly series about a boarding school for spies when actually SO MUCH happens afterwards#i can't believe i went all of these years unaware of zach goode's existence#truly character of all time#but also i can't stop thinking about how interesting it would have been if zach had come to hate the circle and his mom during the series#rather than before#make it a true enemies to lovers#and have us witness that portion of his character developement in real time instead of being told about it#like him slowly realizing through cammie and his time at gallagher that maybe what they were doing is wrong#i think it would have been very interesting to read#although let's be real it took me until halfway through book four to trust him and he was fully one of the good guys so..#but yeah i have a lot more to say but these tags are long enough#gallagher girls#okay i just want to add another funny anecdote about my experience with this series#my copy of LYKY has an age warning in the back recomending that readers should be above 13 yo to read it#and i distinctly remember finishing it and thinking the warning was kind of dumb bcs besides a few mentions of death and other heavier topi#nothing really happened#and now i realize it was a warning for the rest of the series not just the first book because jesus fucking chirst everything after

Hello All!! As you might have seen, I have spent this last week compiling all the monsters listed in the Scooby-Doo Encyclopedia (which covers every series from Where Are You through 13 Ghosts) into a spreadsheet, categorizing them by type, realness, and series. This is an ongoing project, but I wanted to be able to share what I have so far in terms of data!! Let's begin with a breakdown of Monster Types!!
This first pie chart details the breakdown by pure monster type, meaning monsters that are only one sort of monster. This may seem arbitrary, but as you can see, a whopping 25.98% of all monsters across the series included are some sort of combination monster. That's the largest category overall, but the largest specific category is Ghosts, with 19.61% of the 204 listed monsters being just a pure ghost. Some are sheets and some are just glowing translucent dudes, but either way they're haunting the gang intensely.
The only sort of monster that never appears outside of a combination is the Pirate. I almost excluded that category for this reason, but enough pirates existed in combination (always with ghostliness) that i didn't feel right dropping them.
This chart is much like the first one, but counts the combination monsters in with each type they contain. Because of this overlap, the percentages technically add up to 138.92%. but that's fine, cause they're still taken out of the 204 monsters. Now we can see that 37.44% of these monsters are some sort of Ghost, with Magic Users and non-anthro Animals being the next largest categories. For those counting, that's 76 instances of a Ghost type monster, most of which are combined with some other monster type!! Speaking of which...
These two charts detail the combinations, with the first one being about the sort of combos we get and how often they occur, and the second being about the instances of each type in the totality of the "multiple" category (total of 53 monsters for those of you who want the numbers from the percentages).
Notably, 69% of combination monsters are Ghosts. Nice.
Some monster types never get combined, however, with Skeletons, Robots, Cavemen, Greek Myths, Mummies, European Legends, Dragons, and Evil Humans always occurring as just themselves with no extra modifiers. But now you get to imagine a Dragon Skeleton Mummy, or any such combination and boom. Scooby-Doo Monster OC. You're welcome.
This concludes the data I currently have analyzed/available. I hope to have more soon, either a dive into which sort of monster is most often real or a dive into type percentages per Series (most of the real ones seems to be the ones from the Scrappy series, so I bet that will overlap the two categories). If you have any requests on data or even just want to see the actual main sheet these charts are pulling data from, please let me know, this has become a passion project in a very real sense.
Edit on 9/8: Here is the Breakdown of Monster Definitions with bonus stats on common Motives and Realness
Edit on 9/7: Fixed the first two charts to reflect an update in the data. I had initially placed Greek onster in the general European section, which caused their percentages to be flipped.
Another Edit on 9/7: Somehow missed that a character named "Ghost of" was in fact a ghost/magic user and not just a ghost. this has been fixed and the charts updated (thankfully the % of combos that are ghosts is still 69. nice)
Edit 9/8: I missed a monster somehow. This has been fixed in the charts and percents and numbers listed.
#scooby doo#scooby doo monsters#m post#i dont even know what else to tag this i really hope any of this is readable to anyone but me#also to be clear i pulled every monster from the version of the book with 203 monsters. there seems to be someone selling a version on ebay#with 300 monsters; but i cant find any other copies of that type so im sticking with this one cause its more official#also this might be the start of a thread or i might make each data bit its own post whatevers easier#scooby doo monster spreadsheet#<- tag i'll use if i do multiple posts instead of thread

ohhh okay. there are two maybe three different copies of the shakespeare book, and liu xiao has either the original one that cheng weimin wrote in or it's a copy same as cheng weimin's.
(it would be odd if it's the original because does that mean cheng weimin wrote on two pages, sonnets 19 and 38? liu xiao scribbled here which means someone else wrote this. either cheng weimin wrote twice in the same book, wrote twice on different pages of different books, or someone else wrote this. mayhaps...... mysterious blonde lady.......) (<- just need mysterious blonde lady to be relevant somehow, and the ed is pairing her with liu xiao soooo)
(or it's liu xiao himself lol)
cheng xiaoshi has a different copy with possibly a missing sonnet (?) since sonnet 37 shows up on the left page for him, but on liu xiao and cheng weimin's copies, even numbered sonnets are on the left page.
though cheng xiaoshi's book has sonnets 18 and 19 in the correct page, so there's an error somewhere after that for some reason. like a misprint? lmao. I wonder which sonnet is missing...
more continuity errors like usual 🤗 bridon is truly the dream sequence season
edit: if you're reading this, please check the reblogs. it gets worse
#mine musings#liveblogging link click#link click#link click spoilers#i have no idea how cxs knew to check sonnet 38 instead of page 28 (sonnet 18) like lg told him#he was touching the pages so i guess that's how??? idk with this show man#but he probably doesn't have his dad's book and liu xiao is baiting him#what i DON'T get is liu xiao's copy#also it's weird to put sonnet 37 on the left page when the scene shows you cxs flipping through the pages#and all the even sonnets are on the left#?????#like they literally show you the numbrrs 2 4 6 8 10 until 18
