re: [this post] / [this post] and thinking about the "usually depicted with unnatural or semi-unnatural eye colors" club
#pjo#riordanverse#percy jackson#annabeth chase#alabaster torrington#alabaster c torrington#luke castellan#hazel levesque#nico di angelo#piper mclean#my art#video#nico is only borderline in this category i mostly just needed another character to put there#and i wanted to make a ''the void stares back'' joke + death sibs yippee#if he gets an ''unnatural'' eye color its usually just as pitch black as possible which is why i included ''semi-unnatural''#cause hazel is also kind of similar category where most people give her more of a light golden-brown if they get funky with it#versus highlighter yellow like Kronos or Luke. so also works to put them next to each other. it all works out#anyways i just wanted to do a silly since ive been doodling jokes about pjo characters with funky eye colors recently#scopophobia //

i said i was going to arrange a list of my favorite articles/criticism about shakespeare, so here’s my first little roundup! obligatory disclaimer that i don’t necessarily agree with or endorse every single point of view in each word of these articles, but they scratch my brain. will add to this list as i continue reading, and feel free to add your own favorites in the reblogs! :]
essays
Is Shakespeare For Everyone? by Austin Tichenor (a basic examination of that question)
Interrogating the Shakespeare System by Madeline Sayet (counterpoint/parallel to the above; on Shakespeare’s place in, and status as, imperialism)
Shakespeare in the Bush by Laura Bohannan (also a good parallel to the above; on whether Shakespeare is really culturally “universal”)
The Unified Theory of Ophelia: On Women, Writing, and Mental Illness ("I was trying to make sense of the different ways men and women related to Ophelia. Women seemed to invoke her like a patron saint; men seemed mostly interested in fetishizing her flowery, waterlogged corpse.”)
Hamlet Is a Suicide Text—It’s Time to Teach It Like One (on teaching shakespeare plays about suicide to high schoolers)
Commuting With Shylock by Dara Horn (on listening to MoV with a ten-year-old son, as modern jewish people, to look at that eternal question of Is This Play Antisemitic?)
All That Glisters is Not Gold (NPR episode, on whether it’s possible to perform othello, taming of the shrew, & merchant to do good instead of harm)
academic articles
the Norton Shakespeare’s intro to the Merchant of Venice (apologies about the highlights here; they are not mine; i scanned this from my rented copy)
the Norton Shakespeare’s intro to Henry the Fourth part 1 (and apologies for the angled page scans on this one; see above)
Richard II: A Modern Perspective by Harry Berger Jr (this is the article that made me understand richard ii)
Hamlet’s Older Brother (“Hamlet and Prince Hal are in the same situation, the distinction resting roughly on the difference between the problem of killing a king and the problem of becoming one. ... Hamlet is literature’s Mona Lisa, and Hal is the preliminary study for it.”)
Egyptian Queens and Male Reviewers: Sexist Attitudes in Antony & Cleopatra Criticism (about more than just reviewers; my favorite deconstruction of shakespeare’s cleopatra in general)
Strange Flesh: Antony and Cleopatra and the Story of the Dissolving Warrior (“If Troilus and Cressida is [Shakespeare’s] vision of a world in which masculinity must be enacted in order to exist, Antony and Cleopatra is his vision of a world in which masculinity not only must be enacted, but simply cannot be enacted, his vision of a world in which this particular performance has broken down.”)
misc
Elegy of Fortinbras by Zbigniew Herbert (poem that makes me fucking insane)
Dirtbag Henry IV (what it sounds like.)
Cleopatra and Antony by Linda Bamber (what if a&c... was good.)
#essays/academic articles is sort of a false dichotomy but i wanted to separate these into More Casual versus More Academic. so.#misc category exists because. i like those two things so much. not at all for the same reasons#max.txt#misc#hamlet#merchant of venice#henry iv#richard ii#antony and cleopatra#there we are.

arthur repealing the ban on magic and sitting merlin and morgana down to figure out who is going to be court sorcerer and ready to mediate a debate but before morgana can even open her mouth, merlin passes to position onto her. arthur and morgana just stare, morgana makes feeble attempts to spark an argument, to instigate merlin to at least fight for it. even arthur is like “…you don’t even want, like, a room or something for your magic work?? none of the perks?? a different position in the court?????” and merlin’s just like “nope! i’m good!” and morgana and arthur exchange a look before arthur asks why. merlin’s answer is that his position, where he belongs, is at arthur’s side. besides. morgana deserves it. she was snubbed from becoming queen so it was only fair.
#in the end merlin continues to serve at arthur’s side as his queen#teehee#just thinking about the implications of arthur being surrounded by those who love power and glory#his father who only looked on him with pride when he conquered an enemy#his sister who went wayward for a bit because of her desire to sit on the throne and used her magic in cruel ways to get there#his uncle who sided with morgana and manipulated arthur to try and gain power through morgana’s coup#versus merlin who was proud of arthur for being arthur#who didn’t need arthur to vanquish enemies to look at him as if he hung the stars and the moon in the night sky#merlin who despite having the power of the gods - who could bend nature to do his bidding - kneeled before arthur and cleaned his boots#merlin’s who even in the end turned down power and recognition for all he had done just to stay at arthur’s side and continue serving him#queen merlin#king arthur#redeemed morgana#merthur#court sorceress morgana#IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THEM FOR DAYS#HELP MEFJZBAKAKNSNCA#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#morgana pendragon

the more I think about the mutiny at Terror Camp, the funnier it becomes. like... that was only their second stop. imagine you are on a road trip across the continent, you make it to your second hotel of the journey, and suddenly everyone is pulling guns on each other, one of your team leaders got stabbed in an arby's parking lot, the guy you hired to keep everyone safe is now openly mutinying with some rat guy who wasn't even supposed to be on the trip in the first place, and now you've ordered both of those guys to be hanged for their crimes. your dog is dead, the rat guy ate it. one of your other team leaders gets lost and almost immediately starts chewing on his shoes. the rat guy took your only doctor. several people got mauled by a bear.
and it's only. the second. week. of travel.
#looking at where terror camp wouldve been on a map versus how far away fort resolution is#like in lord of the rings terms they haven't even made it passed the outskirts of hobbiton#'if I take one more step it'll be the farthest from home ive ever been' *immediately gets mauled by bear*#terror meme#the terror amc

Thinking rlly hard about how ivan strangled till with his thumbs over the arteries and not the windpipe. It was never a way to end till himself or a double suicide attempt it was purely selfishly sacrificial.
#alien stage#alnst#alnst till#alnst ivan#alien stage spoilers#alnst theory#i dont think ive seen people point this out#but theres a very specific way to strangle someone to kill them#and thats not it#that and the lack of any markings after ivan lets go#stupid idiot..... go join sua in gay baby hell ivan#doomed toxic yaoi versus doomed pure yuri fight#lehmon.txt

i am very happy about all the posts circulating about being aware of cultural differences and i think it makes a lot of sense considering none of these streamers will speak english and will have very different cultural touchstones but it is kind of funny to me how little people discussed this previously when we already did have incredibly different cultural communication styles and contexts on the server like. the amount of times things have had to be explained or people have gotten pissed off because someone was "too loud"/"too aggressive"/"too indirect" or whatever is kind of ridiculous.
like again im very glad and i hope this means they're continuing to learn and see what does and doesn't work however from the fandom side of things im seeing people rb things and im like okay so when it's east vs. west that's easy for you to understand that there's differences but when it's europe vs. latam it's not. interesting. wonder if rampant orientalism has anything to do with that.
anyway im not trying to be like a self-righteous dick about this and i want people to be kind and think the best of people without leaping to conclusions i just wish people had given more grace in previous situations of conflicting cultural elements and i hope everyone is better going forward
#bell.txt#sorry im like really passionate about intercultural communication and i feel like ive seen people be morons for months now#and i do think orientalism plays a role in how people talk about these kinds of cultural differences#so to me it feels a little :/ that people are like warning each other so ardently rn versus previous language groups#like im not trying to downplay how difficult the lack of a shared language will make things#but i think that's not the only thing at play

I love Hiroshi Kamiya's voice for Jona!#I'm so happy the angel boy homie was FINALLY a topic for the megaten wandoro/60min after so long!!! yipee!!! (mario voice) wahoo!!!#the “nostalgic + faded photo vibe” like that early 2010s inst*gr*m filter aesthetic was absolutely intentional LOL#initially I had wanted to make the background Blasted Tokyo to reflect the dreamscape sequence in the beginning of SMT4...#but then I thought he would look nicer against fluffy clouds versus a flat desert landscape full of orange tbh LOL#maybe that'll be an idea for next time!!!#I wonder if anyone out there actually reads the tags/commentary on my posts LOL...if so: you're a trooper + I hope you have an amazing day!

just read the plot summary for Wrath of the Triple Goddess and. wow this is. painful this just sounds painful to read.
Why is Grover the incompetent inciting incident character? That is not his narrative role ever, really. That's like, the fanon conceptualization of his character where he's reduced down to comedic relief and nothing more. He's mostly exposition and support. Why not have the inciting incident be something about Annabeth's hubris - something that has gotten the gang into situations tons of times before in a way that doesn't put down any of the characters? Heck you could have even tied it into some Sea of Monsters stuff, like Circe having told Annabeth that she'd make a good sorceress. That'd be perfect for how this book literally just exists to be advertising for s2 of PJOTV. Or maybe call-back to Percy's introduction, where he talks about how he doesn't try to cause problems but problems tend to find him. Or use the established personalities of Hecate's animal companions from HoO, since we know they have attitudes. Just what are you even doing here????
#pjo#riordanverse#wrath of the triple goddess#wottg#cotg trilogy#percy jackson#grover underwood#annabeth chase#you're advertising your mischaracterization of characters now!#dont do Grover dirty like that!!!!#i mentioned on discord that this plot summary sounds like a fanfiction plot to me. not in a means of ''oh fanfic inherently bad pbbbt''#cause fanfic not inherently bad. i know many fanfics way better than this. but fanfic-like in this is not consistent with canon#(cause fanfics dont need to be. versus canon stuff which does) and characters are being reduced to flat archetypes more often#which has been a sort of trend ive noticed recently in the franchise. a lot of characters in canon are getting treated more and more#like their fanon counterparts. which is WEIRD! cause we're all aware of how the fanon counterparts are vastly different from canon#and it just kind of goes to show how little the canon is keeping track of their own stuff cause it implies theyre just going based on fanon#just entirely lifting characterizations and concepts and such from the community. which is bad!!!! there's a reason you don't do that!!!!#like aside from it just being bad practice THERE'S LEGAL SHIT YOU CAN GET INTO WITH THAT#this is why you make a series bible Richard!!!!! copying the community's homework won't make them like you more!!!!!

5 for the isat ask game!
5 - What's your favorite optional event?
VERY TOUGH ONE TO ANSWER. I'm gonna go right ahead and disqualify twohats bc it's a predictable answer. If I had to choose just one though I think it'd probably be the sus event. It really got my goat on my first playthrough bc I didn't realize you had to do it in ACT 4. If I remember correctly I think sus is the only optional event locked to ACT 4??? Now that I've actually done it though I'm quite fond of it.
Sus event is one that you really have to go out of your way to do. It kind of reminds me of the True Ending in SASASAP but More and I'm sure that's intentional. Like the requirements for sus quest necessitate that you're going to do it, if not the loop before ACT 5, very soon before it. You have to know pretty much everything about Time Craft and Wish Craft already, so whatever you're doing in the loops now is basically taking out any optional stuff before you hit the end. You have to pretty thoroughly remember how the script goes just so you know all the best ways to break it. I feel like if the True Ending route is Loop going through the motions so many times that they can't deal with holding their facade together any longer, the sus route is Siffrin waving a big red flag around for help. There's just no way you're going to stumble into sus without preplanning what to do to rack up your points and make Odile aware of how Wish Craft works.
So I think it's interesting how much Siffrin pushes back against Odile trying to figure him out. It's a pattern of behavior that I am well aware of where you're desperately going "HELP ME" but you're not willing to accept it when it's offered to you.
Siffrin spends an entire loop screwing everything up, to a point that's frankly kind of egregious even by Late Stage Timeloopers standards, and then they can't reckon with the consequences of it. I don't think sus event is as intentional of a cry for help for Siffrin as it is the player, mind you. But I do think it's. Very tragic. Yeah of course "it's too late" in the sense that Siffrin's about to talk to Euphie and the whole journey will end, but moreso it's that by the time that Odile can piece together all the information necessary to figure Siffrin out, Siffrin is just far too deeply entrenched in his self hatred and fear of abandonment to be dug out. I think if Odile could somehow figure it out in, like, early ACT 3, or if Isabeau was just a bit more pushy in getting Siffrin to do a feelings talk, maybe they'd actually be able to reach Siffrin a little. But they're always just a little too late, every single time.
I think the fact that you start really getting a bunch of weird points in ACT 3 gives this event a lot of buildup. For potential dozens of loops you'll see Odile brush against the truth of the situation, and then just barely miss. By the time she figures it out, it's too late. Explodes
Expounded upon slightly more in tags bc I don't like typing in post bodies I feel like a fish on land. eek
#asks#ask game#ive been forgetting 2 tag my asks. smh#Sorry ocean that this took a while to answer i got lost in the sauce (rereading dialogue in rpgmaker)#i spent way too long writing this and i dont think i even touched on the guts of why this scene gets to me. tbh#it's just like. idk i've been there#doing shit not even really on purpose to kind of flag other people like Hey i'm doing bad#and then they're like hey are you doing bad and it's like. Oh fuck well now they know and they'll want me to die. i gotta get outta here#very relatable siffrin momence. never a good thing#like i realize that siffrin was literally like 'i don't think i want ur help' and then i kept calling their actions a cry for help#but like that's what it is. i can't read susquest as anything else. i don't think those two things contradict either#desire to be helped versus desire to not be perceived/not be a burden on others.#wanting help but not wanting to BE helped? does that make sense. am i saying words#it's like how loop wanted help so badly they lost everything in pursuit of it when all they had to do was be honest with their friends.#idk. kicks rock around#isat spoilers

does this crossover make sense? no. are the games similar at all in core themes message or story? like not really i guess. would the characters even get along? not at all! did i draw them anyway? sure did!
#outer wilds#hollow knight#outer wilds spoilers#outer wilds hatchling#hollow knight knight#hollow knight ghost#hopefully by the time this pops outta the queue ill have beaten outer wilds base game and wont have to worry about spoilers or anything#ok tbh its not like hallownest and outerwildssolarsystem are That different + the player characters like....Placements...is kinda vaguely#similar sure#but the way u interact w the worlds is v different#the focus on the ways u interact w the worlds is different#also the obvious u need abilities to get places in hollow knight versus in outer wilds u can basically go anywhere#u just need to Know#which makes hollowknight v replayable but outer wilds not so much#agreeing w the senior outerwildsers that ive talked to#u can really only Experience this game a certain way Once#and itll be your first playthrough#unless u play for like. 2 minutes and then put it down n come back to it after 2 years or something#then like . sure#anyway
