Considering the first time Rachelle D. Tavies served as show runner, the Infinity Knights had been wiped out by the Time Wave, but later turned up in great numbers,
it makes one wonder whether she’s trying to pull the same bait-and-switch on viewers this time, too.
‘I’m the last of my kind. All the Infinity Knights are gone, for good.’

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)

[Blank Scripts AU] The Protagonist and The Narrator.
Also it's so funny how the game is literally just some silly dudes with existentialism and an old guy distracting himself with other things to not think about it then there's whatever these AUs are
I love AUs, Undertale did this to me [but Blank Scripts and Achromatic Loop, other than borrowing concepts and characters, are pretty much original works though aayyeee 👉👉]
#tsp blank scripts au#my little meow meoowwss#Stanley rizzed up that old voice#this is an old drawing by the way aahh#sorry for the tsp viewers i have lolol i love my new ocs too much and i probably wont be making tsp content for a long long time#tsp au#tsp#tspud#the stanley parable#the stanley parable ultra deluxe#tsp stanley#tsp narrator#my drawing museum

THEY ARE ELECTRIC STARTER BUDDIES NOW.
Emmet and tynamo become partners! With a buddy in his pocket (literally), Emmy’s becoming bolder by the day.
Plus a bonus Ingo. (He has not found a starter yet. Here's his feelings on that.)
For more, check out the submas masterpost!
#for the viewers: yes elesa is charging her hearing aids. The cables she’s using is later repurposed in her bw design. good for her!#and Yes emmet’s saying ‘look!!’ in sign#i headcannon he uses is pretty sparsely cause he and ingo hang out all the time and ingo usually talks enough for both of them but like#i will ALSO say that sinnoh’ian sign and unovan sign are two different buckets of fish so alas… poor elesa gets Tangents of Info at a Time#The kids r interacting!! good for them#pokemon#art#sketchbook#submas#myart#fanart#pokemon ingo#subway boss ingo#submas comic#pokemon elesa#pokemon emmet#elesa#ingo#emmet#tynamo#blitzle#nimbasa trio

you think it's over????? daniel's vampire eyes are normally blue but they turn orange when he talks about his maker armand AND YOU THINK IT'S OVER????????????? we have never been so back. keep your chin up princess
#daniel molloy#armand#devil's minion#iwtv spoilers#iwtv#interview with the vampire#armandaniel#armandiel#my last yap i have to go revise but#this is unprecedented. this is a never done before thing and they did it With Them.#devil's minion is on my friends don't you worry your pretty little heads#copying my reply: what i keep going back to is that the shift happens exactly as he says “i'm guessing you haven't heard from my maker”#which is a very strong narrative device because it visually cements the knowledge that he is /armand's/ fledgling#the feeling it was meant to elicit in the viewers is very clear because of the timing of it all!!!!

Jaiden: How did you guys even find out that, um... Chayanne's admin plays Cucurucho? [Reading chat] Ohhh, accidentally played the soundboard as Chayanne? That's hilarious actually. I wanna see the clip of Phil reacting to that.
Jaiden: I love– I love the way that Phil laughs, it's just such a hearty, genuine laugh. The few times that I've made him laugh, I've felt really good about myself! [Embarrassed laugh] Because he makes me feel much funnier than I am, you know?
Jaiden talks about silly QSMP moments and laughter. 💜

TRANSCRIPT
Jaiden: How did you guys even find out that, um... Chayanne's admin plays Cucurucho? Did they just tell- tell Phil? Did- were they just hangin' out? [Reading chat] "The same username"? Ohhh. [Reading chat] "It was a mistake"? ...Wait, what was the mistake? What do you mean "it was an accident"?
Jaiden: Ohhh, accidentally played the soundboard [Laughs] as Chayanne? That's hilarious actually. [Laughs] What di- what did he say, was he just like, "Ha ha ha"? [Laughs]
[Old clip of Bad, Fit, and the Eggs] Bad: –have one of the things I'm looking for. Chayanne: [Cucurucho voice] HA HA HA Bad: What was that? Fit: You heard that too, right? Chayanne: [Cucurucho voice] NO Bad: ...What the fudge was that. Fit: Wait–
Jaiden: [Reading chat] "He said 'no'" [Laughs] That's so funny. [Laughs] I wanna see the clip of Phil reacting to that. I love– I love the way that Phil laughs, it's just such a hearty, genuine laugh.
[Clip of Phil laughing]
Jaiden: The few times that I've made him laugh, I've felt really good about myself! [Embarrassed laugh] Because he makes me feel much funnier than I am, you know?
[Old clip of Phil and Jaiden] Jaiden: Oh, that's awesome! And then it– [She gets snagged by the machine] Jaiden: Oh– Ahh! Phil: Be careful! Jaiden: AAAAAᵃᵃᵃᵃᵃᵃ — [Her screams fade as she's dragged away] Phil: [Laughs] There she goes! [Hits his desk and laughs]
[Another old clip plays] Jaiden: [Singing along to "It's Been So Long" from FNAF] It's been so long, since I've last seen my– Phil: What is happening? [Laughs, then laughs more seeing Jaiden's mask] PFTTT– [Laughs] Jaiden: [Laughing] Phil: Jesus Christ–
Jaiden: It's just like, such a good laugh! I wish I had a– a like, more-hearty laugh. You know? You know what I'm talking about? My laugh is kinda like... Uh, you know how you guys compare Foolish's laugh to like, the... window cleaner? Like a– [Squeaky window-cleaning sound]
[Short clip of Foolish covering his face with one hand and making the squeaky laugh he's known for, slapping the arm of his chair as he keeps laughing]
Jaiden: I can't do it– [Laughs] It doesn't sound like that. I think mine is like... Because like, I do like, "Hee hee hee!" and I also like, breathe in, like– [Squeaky sound] You know? So I think– My laugh kinda just sounds like... Like, after you spray the window, and you're like, cleaning it. Like, wiping it down with a cloth. You know? That's what my laugh sounds like. I wish it was more of like a, "Ha ha ha."
[Short clip of Cucurucho saying "HA HA HA"]
Jaiden: But, I mean, I'm not complaining. I don't think– I don't think "laugh anxiety" is something that I wanna– is not a path I would really wanna go down. [Quiet laugh] It's like- sometimes, you just gotta pick your battles. [Laughs]
Jaiden: [Reading chat] "You have a good laugh" Thank you. [Quiet laugh]
#Jaiden Animations#QSMP#Philza#Foolish Gamers#Cucurucho#QSMP Admins#(Sorta)#Phil#Jaiden#Foolish#September 5 2023#Timestamp: 13m 15s#Is this clip a little quiet? I can't tell if my clips are too quiet or if it's a me problem#Anyway – I've been thinking about this clip for AGES and finally stumbled across the timestamp the other day#Jaiden's got a nice laugh but I don't know how I'd describe it either#Anyways re: her comments; Phil does have a very hearty laugh. It's very warm and does make you smile#And since we're talking about laughs –#Quackity's another person whose laugh is very contagious#Pac's makes me smile too but I'll admit that's because I'm extremely biased#I'm rambling here but#If I were to very summarize those three's laughs (with my very biased opinion as a long-time viewer of 2 of them) I'd say:#Phil's laugh is very warm and friendly - and like Jaiden said - genuine#Quackity's laugh is very bubbly (for lack of a better word) It has so much energy you can't help but crack a smile too#Pac's laugh when he's embarrassed is very cute and it makes me smile

Welcome to Longer Than Necessary, an AU in which I trap Siffrin in the time loop for — you guessed it — longer than necessary!
I do actually know how long he’s been in there, and so does Loop! That being said, I’m planning on potentially making another comic where Siffrin learns that, and I’d hate to spoil the surprise! :)
Though, you are allowed to make guesses. I can’t (and won’t) tell you if you’re right, but you can guess how long they’ve been here. :3
#zeisty continues to be a menace in another fandom. what a shocker#only four people know how long it's been (excluding loop). one is me and the others are close friends#basically what i'm saying is: shhh friends. we got a secret to hide for now... :)#longer than necessary au#ltn au#zeisty’s heavy hitters#zeisty’s comic stuff#in stars and time#in stars and time au#isat au#in stars and time siffrin#isat change god#technically speaking#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#you can never be too careful <:3#let me know if i should tag this for eye contact#the statue isnt looking at the viewer but more so at siffrin but you never know

i’ve been loving watching critical role recently if for no other reason than because i get to watch a decent portion of viewers actively falling for cult tactics lmao
a forbes article describes cult tactics as when cult leaders “censor dissenting viewpoints, promote a distorted narrative and use relentless repetition and peer pressure”
ludinus needing to monologue at everyone he meets. cherry picking what information to let people know (ie the orb). showing popular world leaders (gods?) at their absolute worst as a means to win over the vulnerable. creating dissent between cult prospects and the people who they’re close to outside the cult. doesn’t take no for an answer. repeating his points over and over, in whatever context he thinks will be most persuasive. targeting people who’ve lost everything. convincing people that they’re special
matt is a genius.
#yes i cited my dang source lmao#every time i see a viewer dunking on imogen and orym for taking the gods’ side i take 3d8 psychic damage#media literacy i am BEGGING you#like oh noooo orym doesn’t like the man who killed his family. how insane of him. -_-#like i’m not saying the gods are faultless#but i am saying that they are nuanced and important to the world in a way that ludinus is trying to obscure#critical role#critrole#critical role spoilers#bells hells#critical role campaign 3#orym of the air ashari#dorian storm#ashton greymoore#fearne calloway#imogen temult#laudna#chetney pock o'pea#braius doomseed#oh also. the man literally fucked over laudna so hard as he left and yall stillllll wanna lick his boots so bad#mine#sorry for being salty but i do feel a little insane consuming recent fan content

And now a post that is actually about Watchmen.
Like I'm not going to try to tell anyone that Watchmen isn't brilliant but I find it funny that some people recommend it to people. Who are not into comics. Saying that it's so much better. Than other comic books. Because it is extremely about comic books. I mean it is about America but it is about America through the lens of comic books using the language of comic books. You are not going to understand half of what it's fucking doing if you aren't pretty familiar not just with comics generally but western cape comics specifically. The thing that you are deriding as you recommend it. Which really makes one wonder whether half the people who love it so much understand it even a little bit.
#like I was in this boat the first time I read it and still got it like 50% it gives you a lot of what you need#but if you want to get someone interested in comic books or graphic novels honestly start almost anywhere else#evangelion is sort of a similar thing where I don't think most western viewers understood it at all in the 90s#I think they were just kinda dazzled#I mean this is like a stock joke at this point but people still do it I have heard them with my own ears

RIVERDALE | Chapter One: The River's Edge (January 26, 2017) ┈➤ Our story is about a town, a small town, and the people who live in the town. From a distance, it presents itself like so many other small towns all over the world. Safe. Decent. Innocent. Get closer, though, and you start seeing the shadows underneath.

There is a platonic explanation for all this. Right?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#[accidental kiss] is a purposeful misspelling to reference an old meme. I will blast anyone who tries to correct me with the crunchiest png#The kiss looks like wwx is biting lwj's cheek....It *does* have the consistency of a soft marshmallow so he's not in the wrong.#Once again: wwx was never *ever* oblivious to the implications of the situation. On the contrary: this entire scene + the prior shows-#that he very much understands that this looks gay to the viewers.#He just doesn't think its possible to be loved like that. *Especially not by Lan Zhan.*#Do people forget that LWJ had 13 years to process his feelings VS WWX's (give or take) week?#This is the moment he realizes wwx has feelings and he HATES HIMSELF FOR IT. He feels like he's betraying lwj's trust!#The demi feeling of having spent so long in a comfortable platonic relationship and then getting struck by the 'oh shit' moment.#Its not a soft 'Oh' - Its a 'Oh god they are going to hate me and I can't bear that. I need to be so normal about this or else'.#Pour one out for all of us who've had to go through the trials of trying to conceal the painful realization of deeper affections.#Anyway. *both* lwj and wwx fall in love kicking and screaming and miserable and clawing at the walls about it.#Continuity acknowledgement: wwx's hands are unbound at this point but I had a hellish time with blocking and this was a bit easier.
