Thinking about a fic idea where Casey Jr. ends up attempting to summon the Hamato spirit/ghosts of the Future Turtles but due to freak incidents keep summoning the wrong ones. By wrong I mean like, from different timelines. Different dimension. Different iteration.

Some examples:

Casey Jr. tries to summon Future Raph? He doesn't get the Future Raph from the Apocalyptic Future he came from. He gets the Future Raph that stopped the Kraang and died happily.

He tries to summon the Hamato ghost of Future Donnie? He gets a different one from an alternate universe set in a different time period.

He tries to summon Future Mikey? He gets the Mikey that died early in his 20s but still looked as old as the one he knew since this Mikey overused his powers too much too fast because his brothers weren't there at the time to stop him.

He tries to summon Future Leo? He gets the depressed version of him since his all family members died before he reached his Late 30s. Also this Future Leo is cis and straight, the horror.

Always similar but never the same.

Kinda fucked tbh.

Reminder that Jacob Anderson apparently loves Armand and Daniel’s relationship in the books and it’s one of his favorite dynamics. So not only do you have Assad, Eric, and Luke repping it but you also have the show’s main actor going “I would like to see it.” They’re gonna be shooting DM scenes for next season and he’s going to be nodding approvingly on the background.

Crazy to think that by now, Dionysus should have transitioned from a god of ecstasy to one of social refinement and polite gatherings if it weren't for ancient Greek religion losing its prevalence.

And I mean that Dionysus, as a god who promotes madness and disinhibitions, is what's left of a time when wine was our strongest alcoholic beverage, a time of maenads and symposiums. Nowadays, we have liquor (spirits), far better for getting drunk, and beer, as the always cheaper alternative, so in a "let's get drunk moment," wine isn't picked. That way, the beverage has been left to the sophisticated: culinary connoisseurs, elegant dinner parties, wine enthusiasts, elites, and intellectuals.

And if that's our perception of wine, shouldn't that also be the dominion of its god?

the mbmbam episode where richard stink shows up to talk about spring fragrances only to slowly reveal that he's accidentally created a cult who have turned on him and imprisoned him in a freezer with daphne skrillex is one of my favourite podcast bits of all time.

Feel like Neil couldn’t have been any other kind of actor than one in theatre. If he was a movie actor or on social media or whatnot, it would not be the same. Theatre by nature is fleeting. Recorded mediums can be rewatched over and over, creating a time loop of sorts. We the audience can keep going back to a time when Neil is still alive. Theatre however is live and once the play is over, there is no going back except in our memories. It is much like life. We are forced to live in the moment in a theater lest we miss it altogether. It’s not that the poets choose to live in a world where Neil is dead, it’s that they must because the only other option is to die themselves. I feel like Keatings teachings could only be reflected in stage theatre because that’s the only way there can be no time loop of grief. I think dead poets society itself isn’t about overcoming the authority in your life to do what you want but rather about grief, about allowing oneself to feel grief and all one’s emotions without letting it consume you and to keep living after, to live every day in the moment lest you fall into grief and regret that will destroy you or force you into a miserable life
