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)

SVSSS is a novel with a fandom.
[ID: A Scum Villain edit of the "missing the point" meme. A bullet arcs from velinxi art of child Shen Jiu kneeling while furiously glaring. The bullet says, "People are not entirely one thing or the other and holding them to these extremes ignores the complexities that come with their humanity." It arcs over the head of a person across from it, who ignores the bullet and exclaims: "Wow!! Shen Jiu's only crime was being mean and was wrongly hated!" End ID]
#i have so many thoughts about him but he is SO mischaracterized in a lot of fics#like just 'he would not fucking say that' on repeat#because shen jiu's entire thing is that he was CANONICALLY a terrible person#yes his backstory was sad but that doesn't make him Suddenly Good#shen qingqiu is an incredibly complex character but can y'all not pretend that his only flaw is being mean#like shen jiu failed original luo binghe in every way#as his caretaker as an adult in his life on EVERY level#'the tea had healing medicine in it!!' no it did not#shen jiu poured boiling hot tea on a child as a grown man because he was jealous. of said child.#like the entire POINT of his secret backstory was to showcase his complexity!!#and to see so much fandom stuff that's just Shen Yuan in the Opposite Direction is Hm#like he's fun to analyze but let's not pretend that he wasn't a terrible fucking person#while I'm ranting shen jiu would not casually talk about his trauma either#shen jiu's entire thing WAS appearances and even post character arc i think he'd struggle to open up to others#so like NOOOO he would not just tell someone something terrible that happened to him in his past#he'd rather die#okay rant over but this phenomenon is just SO frustrating to me#svsss#shen jiu#scum villian's self saving system#original shen qingqiu

every time someone mentions the art quality in lore olympus i immediately default to the juxtaposition between these two panels
colour! nuance! depth! detail!!! both men have clear design choices and their rage is depicted both in their eye colouring and body languages! overlay texture is present but hasn’t yet reached “holy god turn up the transparency for the love of god” levels yet
literally looks like fanart made by someone who actively despises the series. ZERO depth, loss of details, that overlay is literally beating my ass in my own home it’s so overpowering.
art styles change and evolve and an artist will develop new styles and techniques as they grow, but lore olympus was literally a total degradation of skills viewed live. it was like rachel figured out how to kind of draw one guy and by god we were going to know it. the details that marked early lore episodes - gorgeous colour choices, composition, shading, soft details - ended up getting completely tossed aside in favour of the same two png cutouts pasted in various tiktok outfits over and over. it’s calarts if they had gotten a multi million dollar webtoon deal
#anti lo#anti lore olympus#was showing a friend who had never read lore olympus a bunch of panels#and she immediately noticed these two and was like “there is no way those are the same guys”#and i had to do a double take because god she’s right how the fuck!!!#i normally don’t critique art because that’s a growing skill like art is inherently subjective on so many levels#but you can SEE the shortcuts rachel made you can SEE the laziness#and considering how much money and how many accolades she got that she did not deserve#i think it warrants a little scorn! to be honest!#everyone: okay comic is over now what#me: who knows! :)#everyone:#me six months later bursting into the room: - and you know what’s REALLY fucked up!!!

Family Tree Version 3, now featuring dwarves, hobbits, and the intricacies of however ainur are related!
Double lines on each side of a line break are used where lines overlap (---ll | ll---). Dashed lines indicate unknown numbers of generations, and dotted lines are for adoption. Grey text is used for alternative/old draft versions and assumed relationships (such as sticking oropher in with the sons of galadhon, or putting one of the dunedain as the tooks' fairy ancestor).
Version 2 here
#silm#silmarillion#lotr#lord of the rings#family tree#house of finwe#house of thingol#elves#ainur#valar#numenoreans#edain#rohirrim#hobbits#assorted hobbits#okay that covers everybody i think#fun fact! progress on this has significantly slowed down because the file has gotten so big it now takes three minutes to open or save#not to mention the lag while adding people#why are hobbits so horizontal -_-#theres so many of them... in so few generations...#im planning on changing the transparency of the grey text to reflect different canonicity levels but the layers keep crashing my laptop#theres a few people im missing i think#i dont remember if i got erellont in there? and i know im missing the tol eressea bunch and the giant whale#also yes the trees get to be in here too :)#sorry for the lack of closeups i couldnt get it to stay loaded for long enough#i might transfer this to a more powerful computer for getting all the pics off it later#oh well ill figure that out once i finish

What’s the craziest bit or multiple pieces of lore you’ve ever learnt about Marc?
so easily him collecting the model vale bikes the first two years he was racing in motogp (mat oxley asked him about it at feb testing in 2015 and marc was still collecting them !!!) i truly think about it all the time it’s so insane to me. collecting merchandise of your friend coworker and sporting idol while you are doing your best to win against him… while being hailed as the next version of him (BY HIM EVEN !). while your relationship is deteriorating… holding that kind of love in your heart even when he throws you to the mercy of the media. even as he denies that you were ever his fan. even AFTER all that he still keeps them in a BOX somewhere along with all the other things he loved when he was young…
#like HE wasn’t even the one that got rid of the bikes it was his parentsssssss#motogp#callie speaks#asks#actual craziest is probably his mechanics removing the wheels off his bikes at his house so he couldn’t ride injured#but that doesn’t really surprise me. i know a lot of paddlers who would do that shit#extreme sports at that level always makes you crazy like the sport IS your beautiful wife in many respects#the toy bikes tho. the bikes.#okay good night love you all…..

It feels extremely silly that only today did I realize that pantry and panadería are slightly similar-sounding for a reason >_>
(The English word pantry is one of the many, many common modern English words derived from Anglo-French: in this case, panetrie, from Old French paneterie, "bread room" ... Spanish panadería also has a complex etymology, but all are related to Latin panis, "bread.")
#anghraine babbles#deep blogging#linguistic stuff#saw a post that was very aggressively going on about how english is GERMANIC (true) and has germanic words in it too!!! (duh)#and the whole discussion ended up arguing that the existence of common germanic words means the many common latinate ones don't count#as 'true english' or whatever and also all languages have borrowings on the level of french-derived vocab in english (not true!)#and it's only lexical and the english grammar is still fundamentally what it was (not true at all actually though not mainly bc of french)#like. sorry that the existence of 'cat' in english implies to you that 'animal' is not a real english word!#don't know why the entirely true statement that 'english is fundamentally germanic' always seems to devolve into nativist bullshit#but damn does it ever.#people are fixated on the vastly oversimplified 'french derived = elitist prestige register from foreigners; germanic = common real speech'#in reality normal everyday english chatter constantly and necessarily includes plenty of french-derived words (often unrecognized)#like pantry! the longer any english document or speech goes without any french- or latin-based words#the more ridiculously and artificially childish it sounds#esp given that some /ultimately/ germanic words in english came into it not from old english but via medieval or anglo-french#often taken from old norse. so 'germanic' real talk from real folk vs dastardly french corruption can be even more complicated#than the obvious xenophobic nonsense motivating the whole anglish thing#even my guy (and known old english lover & french hater) jrr tolkien could only /minimize/ the french-based vocab in lotr#if he'd gotten rid of it altogether he'd sound like he was writing for four-year-olds#english#anglish hate blog#okay for the tags:#anghraine rants

I love how much Kab haunts the lore on After Hours. She’s not there, but she owns Allrich and Phea’s souls. She controls every action they make. She makes the rules, and they have to follow them even when she’s been gone for weeks. Phea comments Multiple times about how Kab hasn’t been around. How they miss her (even if they shouldn’t.)
Because Kaboodle is on Lifesteal now- she’s found more people to mess with. Phea’s left in an empty base that belongs to Kab. Her soul is missing, and she doesn’t even want it back, because she still genuinely wants to be friends with Kab!! Even if she’s busy, even if she hasn’t thought about them.
Allrich and Phea are left without souls, for who knows how long. Until Kaboodle decides to pay them a visit again. They still can’t talk to Psyan without arguing, and they’re veryy Slowly buying back everything Kab (and Branzy) gave away. She could log on at any moment and change the entire course of the server within seconds. A single “Phea, say mean things to Kantje.” And it ruins an entire possible friendship.
And she’s just gone. And Phea can’t even hate her for it! (It’s okay, Allrich resents her enough for the both of them.) Psyan is left without any real friends or a team, and they all miss each other SO much, but there’s nothing they can do while Kab owns Phea and Allrich’s souls. They keep talking about “When we’re friends with Psyan again,” and then everything they’ll be able to do together again. They can’t rebuild a guild farm Without him, they refuse.
They also finally acknowledged how Psyan has never stopped wearing gold armor and it’s sooo. They’re all really sad and bitter about each other. They make me sick.
#chill building server they said!!!!!#I hate you AH!Kaboodle you have ruined so much of this server#Everything would have been fine if not for her!!!#okay probably not but she was a big catalyst for everything bad#after hours smp#afterhours smp#Allrich#Pheeabee#Kaboodle#Psyan#I’m hiding this in the tags because idk if any of the members go on Tumblr?#so spoilers ig?#but Allrich genuinely being SO upset when he broke the gold sword that Psyan gave him#it was so devastating. allrich having to remake it and struggling with how many levels and enchantments it took#it was about a half hour of work to recreate#but he felt so bad about breaking the gift

Arranged marriage AU with Barbarian Bakugou who is so daunting to be around at first. He’s all gruff curses and broad shoulders and scarred cheeks and neck and jaw. He scowls constantly, stares at you while your parents auction you off like some show pig, but doesn’t say much to you besides a grunt of his name. You’re terrified, thinking that he’ll be cruel to you, that you’re being set up for a life full of unhappiness and terror and regret.
But he’s the exact opposite. Bakugou is gentle in ways a man of his size typically wouldn’t be, but he shrinks himself for you. Not in a way that diminishes his status as the newly appointed king, but to respect you, show you that you’re beside him instead of behind him.
He picks you berries on his hunts because he knows the smell of a fresh kill brings nausea to your stomach. You find him along with the other maidens and helpers around his village, sitting beside them, big fingers holding tiny little flowers that he weaves into a crown for you. When he sets it on your head, he purses his lips, mutters something under his breath in his language that you’re still not too familiar with, but sure it means something along the lines of pretty and soft.
And when he finds you bathing in the river only few have access to, he’s sweet the whole time. Doesn’t make a spectacle of you being naked, and is relieved when you don’t instantly cower when he wades his way over to you. You try not to stare at the clawed scars that decorate his pec and jaw when he stands above you, and it helps when he suddenly dumps water all over your head. He shushes you when you splutter, continues on with cupping his hands and letting the water run off of your hair and down your shoulders, scrubbing at your skin until your flesh squeaks. He doesn’t expect you to do the same for him, but he hums in satisfaction when you push him down a little lower so you can wash the crown of his head.
#I don’t think I’ve ever actually written a full blown barbarian bkg fic which should be a crime#bc there are so many good ideas for it#but I’ve been struggling with writing creatively so I will put this idea as a full fic on the back burner for now lol#in the drafts for another 8 months! ☝🏻#sorry I’m lying I’m about to write it rn aidsjdhdjf#anyway interaction has been so low and that doesn’t help with the low energy level when it comes to writing#I do it for myself but it’s a little sad when it feels like I’m talking to myself since I do that enough already lmfao#it’s the beginning of the semester tho so I GET IT bc I’m struggling to read too#this semester isn’t even all that hard but I’m so mentally checked out from school that everything is so much more complicated than need be#I just need a really long break to find myself#feels like I’ve been on go for a few months straight now#okay bye my stomach started cramping really bad which is a single to take my ass to bed lmfao#—new treat in the streets! 🍫#bakugou treats! 🍬

GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
how to make me sob: this entire perfomance
it's so insanely good to see them on stage together, to see GD absolutely light up when Taeyang comes out, to see them bouncing across the stage together, to see that all exploding more with Daesung joining them, to see how joyful they are when all three of them are together. they all look so happy. to be on stage, to be together.
Bigbang was my first kpop group and i have a lot of emotions about them and just
a;lkfja;slkjaf;oew;iajagshdfkjasfhajkshf
i refused to believe it or acknowledge it, but Still Life felt like a goodbye when it came out in 2022.
Home Sweet Home, and this performance, feel like a promise. they feel like triumph. they feel like a door opening.
they feel like another beginning, and i'm so ready.
#the return of the kings#just me having SO MANY EMOTIONS about kpop again#there are a few groups i have like extreme emotions about and Bigbang will always be one of them#i have a lot of emotions about a lot of groups yes for various reasons but like this is different#this is me crying through almost an entire Monsta X concert level of emotions yes thank you#maybe i just cry a lot okay shush#bigbang#big bang#gdragon#g dragon#kwon jiyong#taeyang#dong youngbae#daesung#kang daesung#home sweet home#gdragon home sweet home#mama 2024#mama awards

i’m going to blow you up if you keep hating on ward
Lol, maybe Ward should've been good then
#instead of making it bad#wildbow should've just made ward good#real talk though ward is like the worst prose i've read in my entire life#okay that's an exaggeration#but reading ward literally gives me a headache on top of all the bigotry and nonsensical 'plots'#the writing is the worst thing i've read in the last two years#someone could write a thesis on how horrible it is on so many levels#except chris chris elman is great <3
