Shoutout to my directors for casting a dyke (me) as officer lockstock and thee gayest 14 year old boy as officer barrel. Funniest way they could have done it

I’m sorry but nothing will ever beat Finn’s drive playlist that he made during s3 filming, with songs like Me and Michael, The Basement, Gay Thoughts and No Woman lmaoooo

I’m back in busy world so I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to draw a nicer version of any of these so here are the versions I drew over the summer

My favorite part of God Games is the part with Ares and Athena. Them having the same motif in different instruments and sharing the clock ticking sound but in different meters is way cool.

And Ares’ reasoning is so very at odds with her thinking. From what I understand he resides with equalizing death and destruction of war. He resides more with the people who will not be glorified in war and for whom tactics won’t save (or for whom tactics rely on them dying) and in that situation the only way to save anything or to have dignity to defend themselves is to fight. It’s brute force and will. It’s whoever is stronger or more willing to kill that makes the difference. So of course he hates sacrificing men to Scylla and using a horse decoy to kill Trojans in their sleep. Tactically smart and reasonable (Athena), but denies the dignity of a fight (Ares) in the context of war.

Then the thing he really responds to is her straight up fighting him. I don’t think he would respect her trying to tactfully persuade him, but he does respect her kicking his ass.

Love it so much.

OH MY GOD okay so I just watched the little snippet of King, right? The one where the suitors are hiding as odysseus slaughters them all? One line in particular stood out to me

“Keep your head down! He’s aiming for the torches!”

And you know how in Scylla he lit up the six torches and had eurylochus hand them out to his men so scylla would eat them? Yeah…

The line “we are the same you and I” is hitting me even harder now

jb’s music has more in common with the emo/hardcore/post-hardcore music she’s influenced by than it has in common with her indie contemporaries despite the way she’s categorized and that’s why you get a lot of bg fans who say they can’t get into her music iN THIS ESSAY I WILL-

AVPSY is such a beautifully prophetic thing to watch now. like what do you mean back in like 2012 starkid were already claiming harry potter as their own and saying “gilderoy [as an allegory for jkr] is a creep, and his books suck :)” before anyone knew to what degree jkr sucked. good for them

I am so proud of Aaron Dessner for collaborating with Mustafa while he creates music in defence of Gaza.

Here is the link for Gaza is Calling:

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

i’m having such a hard time wrapping my mind around liam payne’s death. i didn’t like him as a person and i don’t think anyone whose discussed his abuse of maya henry should retract their statements or feel bad about them no matter how harsh they were because it’s important to talk about to prevent it from happening again. because of his history of abuse and grooming fans i can’t mourn him the way i would’ve ten years ago and any tears i do shed will be for his friends family maya henry and his other victims who shouldn’t feel bad and be made to feel bad by stans who put their faves over the protection and safety of women and girls. i don’t feel like it’s the place of people who didn’t know him personally (knew him through one direction etc) to tell other who didn’t know him because emotions have no morality and people’s feelings over a death shouldn’t be dictated underneath a urfaveisproblematic lens

[cyarskj1899]

This was what made me the angriest because not one, not two, not three but FOUR of these men mentioned have been violent against women. Of COURSE they would get Tory to stand behind him because they believe he should still be afforded the public support they receive too. I want to ******* them all

I feel like with this whole Liam Payne situation and the resurgence of 1D content (which I’ll be lying if I said I haven’t been enjoying) it’s easy to forget what a real tragedy this is—because obviously I don’t know any of these men personally nor will I ever, but the 5 of them where still incredibly important to me in a very dark and yet very formative period of my life, and they deserve that recognition on my part at least. Growing up I very rarely thought about how the 1D members were very close in age with me, only a couple of years older, yet while I was living the last years of my childhood protected by my parents, they were literally plucked from their homes, overworked to the bone and thrown to the wolves.

Liam became an abuser and an addict, there’s no denying that, but it’s very hard for me to think that the boy I used to eagerly watch videos of everyday when I was a teen started off that way—and this isn’t me trying to put my nostalgia above the pain of his victims at all, I’m just pointing out how the cycle of abuse perpetuated by the industry can only end up ruining lives. Liam’s life absolutely did not have to end the way it did. Ultimately Maya Henry and the rest of his victims don’t deserve to be blamed for this, they should receive nothing but compassion and empathy from us, and so should Liam’s family, especially his son.

I think I will, bearing that in mind, allow myself to mourn Liam, and the girl I used to be and that he was such a huge part of. I can never be that girl again, I’ve lost and gained too much over the years to ever be her again.

I will also allow myself to mourn the rest of the 1D boys too, because while I don’t want anything bad to ever happen to them, they aren’t those boys anymore, the pedestal they used to occupy no longer exists in my heart, but a part of my love for them will always be there.
