Lowkey met him by accident…gently opened the door, unknowing of what was behind it, and attempted to play the game, but pussied out once she realized what the hell was really going on.

“Friends,” though she calls him ‘babe’ and he calls her ‘dear’ sometimes.

And they see each other quite often.

And they see each other Quite Often.

Just friends though.

Another year, another group of my delightful ninth graders trying to spell the word "tragedy" for their Romeo and Juliet assignment.

Last year's collection

giggling and kicking my feet getting compliments on your writing skills from teachers is literally the best

mercutio and tybalt need to kill each other mid-fuck

i hope the liberal arts education never dies. everyone should get the chance to dabble in classics on their way to their science degree

Togachako Week

Day 3: Formal/Blood

[thatwolficorn]

In TADC, some lines got changed between the dubs

My favourite of which is when Caine asks Bubble "why are you like this?"

According to my friend, in the Ukrainian dub, it got changed to "evolution did not have pity on you" LMAO

THAT LINE IS INFINITELY FUNNIER THAN THE ENGLISH VERSION

the cruelest thing about the world is that there's so many languages and a girl can't learn all of them

Throwback to the time in seventh grade english class where we were taking some dumb reading comprehension test and the material we were given was this "short play" about "sherlock holmes" and I got so ticked off because the idiot writer behind this awful "short story" was depicting Dr John Watson as an absolute buffoon, an oaf of a man. And so middle school me writes a whole paragraphs-long rant in the margins to my english teacher all about how John Watson is a medical doctor and an army veteran and the one with all the common sense and how the author of this rip off probably hadn't ever even read the source material because his take was just so so terrible I don't even remember the grade I got for that test, I just remember the righteous fury and the scribbling pencil Anyways I'm an unapologetic John Watson stan and I always will be

Watson appreciation post <3 <3

lmao uhm. if akaza failed to kill kyojuro (the sun said peekaboo), and muzan was angry. so. so akaza kidnapped senjuro to lure kyojuro in just for the fun of it. like:

"desperation looks good on you," akaza drawled, his grin widening as he let a hand crawl over senjuro's neck, holding it gently. humans were fragile, in both body and mind. he couldn't hurt senjuro yet, else he risked kyojuro snapping too quickly. and this time, there would be no sun to disrupt their conversation. he'd deliberately dragged senjuro somewhere where light wouldn't hit. kyojuro was stuck. and they had all the time in the world.

"what do you want," kyojuro demanded, his jaw clenching.

though they had barely met recently, akaza could tell that the utter fury was something reserved just for akaza. it was unnatural for kyojuro, and it showed. but he did his best to express it. it was adorable.

pretending to think, akaza glanced down at senjuro. the round, owl-like eyes were so much like kyojuro's. except they glinted with tears, his breathing shuddering with fear. akaza didn't care to suppress the smirk that spread across his face.

he put out his previous offer. as a friendly invite. "why don't you become a demon, kyojuro?" akaza hummed. the way kyojuro instantly tensed was riveting. he pressed on. "if you do, i'll let otōto go, hm? he's adorable, don't you think? it'd be a shame if he was... crushed to an unrecognizable state."

senjuro's body jerked involuntarily at that, the threat causing him to inhale sharply. tears ran freely down his face, yet he mustered a squeaky, "no- aniue-"

akaza smiled. "why, aren't you a brave one," he said, patting senjuro's hair. it was uncannily like kyojuro's, actually. he wondered whether, if senjuro grew up, would he look exactly like current kyojuro? or would he hold those boyish features and the evident innocence in the way he trembled?

"i will not become a demon." kyojuro was annoyingly set on his decision. "if you hand me senjuro back, we can fight. but leave him out of this."

"ah... tempting. but i can't say i'll do it," akaza said, frowning slightly. "i pity you. trying to negotiate your way out. it would be much easier as a demon."

"i will not become a demon!" kyojuro repeated. he was determined, akaza could give him that. admirable, but futile.

akaza clicked his tongue in disappointment. "awh, don't be like that," he chided. then, slowly, he let his hold on senjuro's neck tighten. the boy choked immediately, evidently quite sensitive. akaza kept his gaze on kyojuro, admiring the way the man clearly itched to lunge forward. "would you like to say goodbye to aniue?"

i didnt know how to end this 😭

My students’ adventures in trying to spell “tragedy” for their Romeo and Juliet quiz.

[aahsoka]

one thing i think is very funny about severance is them redoing famous paintings to fit into their whole founder cult thing.

like them stealing the pose from “Wanderer Above a Sea Of Mist” . Also Irving and the O&D guy having an almost…… obvious reaction to the ‘sublime’ (as in they found it beautiful but terrifying) which was a big theme of Caspar David Friedrich’s art and especiqlly evident in this piece. but also it is unlike Friedrich’s work because it turns his rükenfigur (a figure facing away from the viewer which is also a recurring theme in his works) into a figure that Does indeed look back at you.

German Romanticism was also very focused on finding God in nature (it was a kind of attempt at reigniting christian religious fervor) so its apt to include it in the way that Lumon’s whole deal seems to draw very heavily from christianity.

No idea if the background is taken from somewhere else (they look like the great lakes to me?) I just really love Caspar David Friedrich.

also the mussolini facade vs that big relief sculpture. maybe theres a better analogue but this was my first thought.

anyways I think its fun in the way that the symbolism is kinda heavy handed lol. Or maybe I only feel that way as an art history student idk. But I do enjoy when a show can give me a little of that kind of reference …… IF they do it well.

also disclaimer: I am only on season 1 episode episode 5 as of this post! Please do not discuss beyond that episode with me until I catch up thanks <3
