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)

Amethio sweetie you're not beating the 'related to Gibeon' allegations anytime soon fr

#fluff binges !!!#(my god the past few days have been Absolutely Awful I need to unwind anyhow sdkjfsndfs back to the comfort series)#there's something so poetic in how Hamber assumes this mentor/grandfather-like role to Amethio #while at the same time we're seeing Diana and Liko's bond at the forefront throughout the ep #the parallels between them....... Hamber actively encouraging that thirst for power while Diana praises Liko's continuous growth...........#Hamber's even amazed at Amethio 'playing dirty' in battles for once #Amethio's always been so by-the-books when it came to battling and even honorable in a sense by always striving for fairness-#-between him and Friede (insisting on one-on-one even when he has two mons on hand etc.)#BUT NOW Hamber wants to see more of that sinister corrupted side to that want for power and it's like ooouUUH........ OOOUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #man is a catalyst in intensifying Amethio's corruption arc he ain't trying to save him he wants him to go nuts with this SDJFHSHJDNFS #AND HONESTLY??????????????THAT'S SO INTERESTING #I'm also taking that Gibeon namedrop here as a sign that him and Amethio coooould be father and son #like Gibeon wasn't even that disappointed with him losing against Rayquaza he went all like “what did you FEEL"#WHAT AN ODD QUESTION TO ASK CONSIDERING HOW TERAPAGOS REPEATEDLY SCREAMED AT THE BOY LIKE HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #AND SUPPOSEDLY BOTH TERAPAGOS AND RAYQUAZA ARE THE KEYS TO REACHING RAKUA SO HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #imagine if Rakua's in space hence it requiring Rayquaza to accessJSHDAKSNDKASNDSD /LH /J #MORE PALPABLY IT MIIIGHT BE IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF TERAPAGOS BUT IMAGINESDJKFSNJDFN #pokemon #pokemon horizons #anipoke #pokeani #amethio #explorer amethio #hamber #explorer hamber #master gibeon

I think Sango is probably the character I didn't expect to come to like so much during this year.

#her and gibeon both being characters i became very invested in this year. the duality etc #looking back a bit on this year of horizons eps since december is almost over #it's funny because i think there is definitely a time period when my sango posting became much more prevalent #i would consider ep 43 being the moment i went from normal to insane about her.#like idk what happened but the moment she started complaining and picking fights over cakes #i became obsessed with whatever is going on with her <3 she is so funny #(this is probably onyx's pov and his progression of things too. maybe. who knows)#('at first i was neutral about her but then all of a sudden she became all i could think about-' or something-)#anyway. sango is great and i hope we'll learn more about her eventually #in the meantime. i'll think up stuff about her potential past #sango #character notes

talking about SteveNat is always a bizarre experience because I probably cannot be clearer about the fact that I ship them and want them to kiss on the mouth and yet whenever a post moves out of my orbit it immediately morphs into "yeah they're such good friends, I love a brotp."

#it's my bizarre superpower to LOSE readers whenever I write shipfic but applied to posts #I am probably one of the only writers in fandom who would be way more popular if I wrote gen #and I know this because my numbers on gen (like wake morning and yonder) are significantly higher than my numbers on shipfic #I don't get them frequently anymore -- home doesn't tend to pick up this kind of reader and it's my one REALLY shippy fic --#but you would be SHOCKED at the number of comments I got on gambit and even backbone wishing the ship wasn't there #or saying that they skipped all the ship scenes #gambit whatever people hate the ot3 this is the least of gambit's problems #I do not on the other hand understand how people read backbone and came to the conclusion that the kanan/hera was incidental #as a result I always feel really really guilty when I write shipfic #and part of me will always wonder if things like home and horizon wouldn't be better fics #if I hadn't been so self-indulgent as to put in the ships #not just better received but better fics period #:/#adventures in accountability #bedlam watches the mcu #talking about feedback in public

#i think i can finally see isotonicity on the horizon #had a volatile encounter with a woman in an altered state at the pizza parlor tonight which after the last two weeks is NOTHING #also she called me a lesbian which when youre a sometimes-insecure bisexual can really give you some uwu do you mean it vibes #you cant even get that mad when someone is insane at you after a period of eve moderate actual trial. lapis lazuli powers activate

A thought about your Bigfrin AU. Please ignore me if you want.

Sif, slowly growing an inch or two over time. Having concerns because they can't turn back to exactly how they used to be before Bigfrin happened.

Odile, after much examination: congrats. Late growth spurt.

Sif, who was fully prepared to fight the Change God for answers: *slowly lowers knife, and turns away from the statue.* Oh. Well that's Knife.

Isa, who heard none of this but Pun senses were tingling (He was simply talking with Bonnie and Mira): Eyyyyy~

(I imagine this would be a side effect of growing and shrinking a bunch. You'd adapt somehow, right? And I bet it uses a lot of energy. So any little bit that doesn't have to grow quite as much would help, I feel.)

oo i dont know if id make that au canon but its a fun idea nonetheless! poor guy would have a panic attack about it 😭

#dragon cave's mailbox #event horizon au #no art this time..i had no ideas + i Just closed my computer #also did you mean to send this twice ? i dont mind ! but you didSKBSKS #i imagine he might be sore or have body aches if it happens a bunch in a short period of time #it WOULD uze a lot of energy! yoj are correct !#whilst i imagine the wish craft shenanigans takes care of most of it #probably not ALL of it!
