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)

“Not my circus, not my monkeys”… Except those are his monkeys and they are the circus

#Okay so i think the idea is that Lautski is on a date and the terror duo were ABSOLUTELY stalking them #because of course they would #but (if they weren't already being the most obvious stalkers) they get caught #because then the seagulls descended #but listen okay #Why they attack (and how on earth they carried that weeb away) is up to you guys #because i dunno #i’m just here to make nonsense comics that give me a good chuckle #NPMD #nerdy prudes must die #for some reason i gave them different clothes sorta?is it obvi i dont have a sense of style at all #Pete Spankoffski #Stephanie Lauter #Richie Lipschitz #Ruth Fleming #Also i don’t know why but when it comes to drawing comics #i forget who anatomy is #i seriously don’t know her #esp when it comes to arms? Lord do i hate arms #Art #fanart #Also this whole comic stems from a story about seagulls stealing sausage links?#that's all i got for you #also im so sorry steph my beloved #i can not draw you at all and this is a curse i carry like a ball and chain #starkid #hatchetfield #//Komic

Happy non chocolate cake day.

.

#aaaaaa #gosh #sorry I keep saying this but every time you draw Machete I'm just in awe of how nicely you depict him #he always looks so pretty in your style #the eyes in particular #the glossy lids #and the overall sharpness of his shapes #it's okay they can have chocolate cake if they want #they don't have the same dietary restrictions real dogs do #it would just needlessly complicate things #thank you!#gift art #kuroikamome #own characters #Machete #really liking the combination of the sepia color palette and the ornate frame as well #it reminds me of antique cabinet card photos

Stray Part 1

I’ve been calling this one “the big one” because THIS BAD BOY 👉👉 is a five parter. It’s also the one that I got into unarmed combat with the most in terms of the color palette, and after a long and bloody battle, it’s made itself out to be my favorite colors so far since the Friends Like These palette. Now i’ve rambled enough about the colors already! Please enjoy :)

<- Confrontation, next

Masterpost

#rottmnt #my art #fanart #timothy #rottmnt timothy #comic #leonardo #stray #rottmnt leo #if u noticed Tim’s face shape changing like three times no you didn’t #this is also the one of the better examples of my writing style #which is i don’t explain a damn thing until the end #and everyone is confused #and then i say use your inagination #and then everyone is still confused #and then i say okay this is what actualy happened hoho

LUO BINGHE CASUAL SENSHI COSPLAYER

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

(context)

#poorly drawn svsss #svsss #modern au #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #okay technically shen yuan because this is a modern au but I don't have a separate tag for the two.#Casual cosplayers are the worlds strongest fans. You vibe with a series/character so much that you take on their style into daily life.#For every person that learned better self care with Dungeon Meshi there is someone who learned they were into hot bears because of senshi #I also know there are some people who learned they wanted to *be* a hot bear because of senshi - so extra kudos to those folks.#Shen Yuan would love dungeon meshi...Guy who can't cook but would still buy the limited time kitchen set.#Also I feel like I've leaned too much into the 'LBH pines for SQQ/SY' and neglected the equally true reversal.#They fact they are both obsessed with each other is what makes them so good. SQQ is just more in his head about it.

some essek portrait doodles :] still figuring him out but i do love 2 draw him

#essek theyless #the mighty nein #critical role #critical role fanart #critrole #cr2 #m9 #i wanna experiment a little more w him still bc i cant settle on a face #or a skin tone? i feel like i always make him more purple than i want. i think more a dark greyish indigo would suit him #yknow. he might just be a character i draw different every time. im okay with that #i do like the idea of him with these very styled waves though #at least until he starts to unwind around the nein a bit #itseart

I just like the idea that once Missa hears Phil has another "kid" he'd try and do whatever he can to help and Phil feels emotions about it

#Qsmp #Qsmp fanart #Pissa #qsmp shipping #qsmp philza #qsmp missa #qsmp Wilbur #I'd like to think the difference in style and shading relates to the contrast of scenarios! The first one is comedic-#while the second one is more serious and genuine in mood #Definitely not because I tryharded for the second scene #I have rotated this family in my mind so much aaGH #I just think Phil would fall a little more in love hearing Missa care about the people that are close to him #Also it is late I just would love to see Missa and Wilbur interact so bad and Missa being like: Okay as your father I'm going to help you #Missa may just have as much if not a bit more than Wilbur does but I think it could be a really funny dynamic #Anyway maybe Pissa reunion today prayge

detective conan really has it all:

- bad writing

- somewhat cheap plot twists for shock factor

- girls with so so many issues that will never be addressed

- unintentional gay people

- extremely interesting plot threads that aren't nearly expanded on enough

- kudou shinichi (and his one million clones)

- same face syndrome

- one thousand million ways of killing your loved ones

- police force that honestly kind of suck (just like in real life!)

- some guy who isn't even from this series

- three thousand million ways of killing your boss

- unintentional gay people again (lesbians this time)

- three 6 year olds running around murder cases (plus two teenagers)

- unintentional neglectful and/or abusive parents

- an unexplained drug that serves as the driving force for the entire premise of the story

- curry

- one million secret identies

- a thousand secret agents

- incest

- will-they-won't-they romance in favor of actual relationship development

- incest again (now plot relevant)

- Beika murder town

- walking death magnet (call that a shini-chi-kami)

- accidental trans allegory

- some morals that you really shouldn't take to heart

- autistic guys who tries to emulate sherlock holmes due to their special interests

- yuri

- my favouritest girl ever (shiho)

#i like detco okay i just think its writing style is absurdly funny on accident #dcmk #detco #part.txt

Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun in FARSCAPE 1.03 | Back and Back and Back to the Future

#farscape #aeryn sun #claudia black #syfysource #cinematv #filmtvcentral #chewieblog #smallscreensource #farscapeedit #farscape gifs #my gifs #claudia black gifs #we’ve all know that he would not fucking say that but do we know that she would not fucking wear that?#like...okay I have a lot of thoughts about that chiffon overshirt thing #because like...that is something I would wear #like i'm legitimately wanting to draft a pattern and make it #but. but I do not believe aeryn sun would wear it #like...it's not...exactly...her style. it's loose and doesn't really add anything other than aesthetic #and it's really not her aesthetic #now the conan-doyal explanation of this would be: it's early season one and they're trying things out seeing what works seeing what #claudia looks good in #the watsonian explanation is possibly that it's (if you follow the broadcast chronology - US and Aus at least) following on from #Exodus from Genesis and so she's just recovered from heat delerium and she's trying to keep her body temp low #and as such is wearing an outfit that is light and loose #but uhhh #yeah

.....face in hands. I don't know what to say.

I'm reading this fic at a snail's pace because after every fifth paragraph, fireworks explode in my brain and I go to draw what I just read
