I was talking about a historical male author I dislike because I found his works misogynistic and the person said, "Oh, well I suppose you don't read Shakespeare either." and I was like, "Shakespeare? SHAKESPEARE?!?! Of course I read Shakespeare, that man loved women."

Shakespeare wrote a wide variety of fleshed out female characters. He wrote Damsels in Distress, Cross-dressing Girlbosses, and Complex Female Villains. He wrote a woman who refused to sell her virtue to save her family and then shamed her brother for suggesting it. He wrote Taming of the Shrew and it's opposite, All's Well that Ends Well, in which the wife hunts down and tames the husband. He wrote men who are good because they listen to, trust, and defend women. He wrote women of all kinds. He wrote women who drive the plot and women doomed by the narrative. He wrote women in love and women who pathetically follow a man who doesn't like them and women in hatred. He wrote sensible women and silly women and everything in between of all ages.

I wish modern authors could write women as well as he did.

It's so weird to see someone who understands fighting games write fiction about people playing them.

i have to say that the more i think about the BG3 companions the more enthralled i get by how fucking poetic it is that the woman with the biggest heart out of them all does not have an actual heart beating inside her chest and the man with most likely purest of souls sold it to a devil out of purest of intentions. +++ the fact that their stories are so intertwined...

man, there is a certain je ne sais quoi about it all and it keeps me up at night.

I always forget how freaking sweet Cliff is ohmigoodnesssss

Also we had a … girl!?!?

All this time I was planning to make the baby Clifford! But we had a girl! I didn’t even know the baby could be a girl!

Since I kept going “a girl!?” To the screen which made me think of TLK2 at the start when Timon and Pumbaa find out Simba and Nala’s cub is a girl… named the baby Kiara.

"lady macbeth was manipulating macbeth because of her own ambition to be queen" "lady macbeth never really wanted to be queen she was only doing it because she loved her husband" no you don't understand she was doing it for them. at the beginning of the play the macbeths are a team, partners in greatness, one cannot exist without the other. she doesn't want power only for herself or only for him, she wants them to rule together, equally. that's why it's so devastating when she doesn't get that, when becoming king and queen only drives them apart, because she wanted them to be partners in greatness and she got the opposite.
