Something I haven't seen anyone discussing is the use of hairstyles to tell the story in Greta's "Little Women." The girls are all wearing their hair down in the flashbacks and up in the grown-up scenes. The last time Jo wears her hair down is Meg's wedding, when she's lamenting about childhood being over. The next scene in chronological order is Laurie's proposal, at which point her hair is up and she's being the mature one, refusing him and explaining why. The only times after this that we see Jo with her hair down are when she writes Laurie the letter and when he tells her he's married to Amy. It's like, for a brief moment, after losing Beth and feeling so gutted and lonely, she's reverted to childhood. But marrying Laurie would not help her to mature or be an adult, and her hair, such a tiny detail in the grand scheme of things, is a subtle indicator of this.
#conversely her hair is up in all scenes with Friedrich or adjacent to him (think the scene where he leaves her the Shakespeare volumes)#the beachy waves may be inaccurate as heck but they served a storytelling purpose#and actually the wedding is the last time any of the girls have their hair down#(and amy with her li'l braids)#little women#little women 2019#greta gerwig#jo march#elly's posts

the idea that this is all you’re going to get is so false . you will meet kinder people, you will find a place where you belong. there will always be new things to be loved by & if you aren’t being loved right now all it means is that better love is in your future Unknown

Could polyamory have saved them: Hermia, Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
#until tonight I'd've said yes#except I just saw a production where - even when his enchantment was lifted and they were getting 'happily' married - Hermia was noticeably#annoyed at Lysander in a move which cumulated in an epilogue after the bows where she said all his love poems to her were stolen from other#people and left him#which. they make a compelling point#lesbianism could have saved Hermia and Helena though I still stand by this#shakespeare#a midsummer night's dream

the sea of human emotion and experience is too vast for you to limit yourself to only certain genres or mediums
read a comic book, watch an anime, read a romance novel. read classic lit, watch an arthouse film, listen to an opera. read fanfic. read shakespeare. the distinction between highbrow and low art is time and marketing
#also good to indulge in media translated from different languages#anyway im not saying all media is equal or that fanfic is on par w shakespeare bit i am saying theres something to be gained from everythin#perspectives of people unlike yourself etc#or just enjoyment where you didnt expect it

“Crusader,” Phases of the Moon Knight (Vol. 1/2024), #1.
Writer: Benjamin Percy; Artist: Rod Reis; Letterer: Cory Petit
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Phases of the Moon Knight#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Moon Knight#Cassian#Khonshu#Apocalypse#En Sabah Nur#I’m sure there are some X-Men aficionados who are scoffing at this hypothetical#however#I’m out here feeling like#you know the end of Midsummer Night’s Dream where Puck comes out and instead of saying some moral#like would typically happen at the end of one of Shakespeare’s plays#he just kind of says «yeah wasn’t that wild? anyway take it easy»#the way Khonshu only seems to take his previously averse devotees when they’re on death’s door#how Cassian’s tying himself to service in a temple that is like a tomb like how he might as well be dead in his service to Khonshu#the fact that he’s traded one unfeeling master for another and worse now he may be one as well#all set upon the background of how Cassian resented the upperclass for their greed and callousness and how they abused their power#but now here he is a European in North Africa having carved his way to where he is by the sword#having people bow before him#oh that sure is wild and I don’t think I’ll be able to take it easy for a little while yet

the production of don giovanni im watching has a very talented leporello but im way too distracted by his outfit to focus on his lines
what is this. pink on green? crosshatch on stripes? bigass feather cap?? this is the outfit of a man who hasn't realized he's bisexual yet. i need him
#don giovanni#i pivoted too hard and actually got curious about what i think jenkins would be interested in so now here i am deadass watching opera 🧍♂️#my interests are shifting before my very eyes (might change some things abt this blog idk)#the opera's very good tho. its kind of like watching shakespeare#im not even gonna lie i chose this production JUST because i thought this leporello was cunty af#like theres a whole song where he talks about all the women don giovanni fucked and he fucking ATE in it !!#enochtalk

wanderer as nahida's right-hand is perfect. they both have a history of abandonment, neglect, and exploitation, plus for similar reasons.
nahida was imprisoned in the sanctuary of surasthana for centuries, left to wither as a failed god her people chased the shadow of a 'better' ideal: greater lord rukkhadevata.
wanderer was abandoned by his mother in shakkei pavilion because he was the failed prototype for her ideal ruler of eternity: a puppet who could execute the lightning's will without regret, whom she intended to create after having makoto die in her arms.
the people involved in wanderer and nahida's pasts - both, in a sense, have convinced themselves that their actions were for the greater good. the sages don't even see nahida is a god, much less a human - to them, all she is is the reminder of what sumeru once had and never could again.
raiden ei abandoned kunikuzushi because she saw him cry, and, knowing he could never be the shogun she needed, left him to his own devices. it's been stated in canon that ei believed she was setting kunikuzushi free. and maybe she was, during those dark days after inazuma's first archon died. but, perhaps, what drove kunikuzushi to assign her actions as 'abandonment' was the fact that he was, in a sense, a lesser god. that he was created for reasons he didn't know. the first thing kunikuzushi did upon creation was cry - in the same way that a baby's first instinct is to cry, because their first impulse is to seek help. from this perspective, the thing kunikuzushi needed the most was guidance and acceptance from his creator (because he knew he was created by someone), while the thing ei thought he needed the most was solitude. miscommunication in the delivery room, am i right.
raiden ei's motives were not the same as the sages - you could argue that she really did believe she was doing it for kuni's benefit. i think she did. but what stands is that both these acts feature a theme of abandonment and neglect. they were carried out by people in the aftermath of grief, executed as neglect upon the people they were done to. and these acts catalyzed nahida and wanderer's development into the characters they are now.
they are not the same as the other archons.
venti's arc is focused around mending the wounds of the past, though it could be implied that he is re-assessing what "freedom" means for his nation. zhongli stepped back as yanwang dijun to allow liyue to move forward on its own while he could re-integrate as one of their common folk. ei is brought forward to re-evaluate her decisions as inazuma's absentee god.
good or bad, they all have experience with being a god.
nahida doesn't. she was intentionally kept from fulfilling her duties as archon for hundreds of years. anything she learns now, once free, is the first time she's learning it as kusanali.
wanderer can't. he tried. he took the electro gnosis and tried to transplant it into his own body - but, at the moment as we know it, gods technically can't be artificially created. the closest dottore could get was a mimicry.
so you have this unique circumstance, where nahida and wanderer both have no idea of what being a god really entails. but they don't need to know what being a god is like, do they? they just need to know how to be an archon: how to protect, how to decide, how to execute.
nahida is very forgiving. in my opinion, she's too forgiving (only because i hate the sages and would've called cps on them if i could). she sees the best in humanity. she works to engage with her people. she tries to listen to their hopes and dreams while moving towards a collective vision for the nation.
wanderer is cynical. he's been betrayed three times, in his words, and been taken advantage of far more than thrice. wanderer has seen the worst of humanity, and he continues to carry this critical eye. he's not afraid to do what nahida can't do (go undercover + beat up people) and he's not afraid to confront people when their motives stray towards the worse.
wanderer can demonstrate the things that define the worst of humans, while nahida can show wanderer the things that make humanity worth preserving. wanderer can execute orders with precision and make decisions on the fly (ha), but nahida is here to level his head and point out clues, motives, or implications that perhaps were not considered before.
and, isn't it a fitting conclusion to the sumeru archon quests? two former puppets, both alike in dignity, in sumeru where we lay our scene. together, they can reconcile the pains of their past - and together, they can build a better, kinder future together...the kind that both must have, at their worst, dreamed of living.

Tidbits! I’m going through a backlog rn.
At request: trigger warning for blood, sword, blade, threat of death.
“Danny grinned, his teeth too sharp, blood and ectoplasm dripping through his lips as he faced the Joker, twisting his sword in his hand.
“You cannot kill me in a way that matters, Jack Napier,” he laughed. “You have millions after your soul, and who am I to deny my people?”
There’s a quiet over the comms in his ear, before Nightwing hesitantly speaks up.
“Did he… did he just quote Tumblr?”
#dp x dc fanfic#dp x dc#could I hypothetically keep this in drafts#yes#am I going to#no#I am Shakespeare and I thrive on attention#also where did you all come from#like seriously I look away for 10 min and my tumblr is suddenly screeching#like y’all good?#anyway idk if it’s Jack Napier or Jack white#idk idc#canon is my playground and I am a chunky toddler with a sandcastle pail#Pail? pale? idk man I think pail is right here#blood#fighting#sword

some very very quick costume shorthands!
#&juliet#had the absolute luck of watching this live the other night and it was. truly amazing!!! aaah#rough character designs for the younger leads (excluding like the Grown adult duos..) because?? idk#this is how it always starts. once the character designs start getting simplified like this that's when it all begins#which is hmmm timing but i really can't shut up about this musical it was so so fun. absolute vibes and energy#made me laugh and cry and was such an Experience. i adore them all but may specifically made me sob at some parts dfjkldfh#lots of thoughts! but one of the favs is how they wrote it so the existing songs and actions fit so well.#like in a rhyming bit they had frankie accept a drink and then the song was like ''drink in hand'' and i was all !!!!!!#also maybe it's local censorship? but there wasn't the kisses.. they replaced it w kissing hands and then holding hands#which is like a cute nod to the ''hand to hand holy palmers kiss' or smth but also maybe two guys doing that would not have made it past :/#oh my god i. the way rnj parallels the shakespeare duo... whdskjfhgh. may + not being a Girl kdjhgf. frankie and may. aaagh.#angelique being so so badass. i . the speech about Gender by anne and the Proposal by angelique both made the whole theatre cheer love that#also rotating stage lives in my mind rent free i ADORE the set holy moly.. also also the actors were so good. also the Projections.#also the music and costumes and special effects and aerial moments. and the ensemble. and the choreo#also the cast is so talented. and pretty. and the whole confidence part vs the vulnerability of some bits... whshjfgjkl. hhh#im just listing stuff now but it was so vibes. what an experience ever. it's also shot me directly into 14-years-old again so#spent the morning alone vibing to the soundtrack intensely... i just... sometimes things hold special places in your heart idk!!!#i don't know what to do with these designs though... like the show is such a lovely Spectacle but also idk where to branch out by myself no#there's so much to Absorb again and again. i get the feeling any true work from this i would do in a form of an animatic though.. oops#tldr? 1. &juliet very good just as itself 2. we have History 3. i got to see it live which always propels me into bonkers over musicals!#so so rough but i needed to get smth out and . whatever. an art blog is an art blog. back to hiatus now i think#<reminder to myself: this is essentially an artchive.. there's no quality control if you don't want it! have fun!! ily>

the way teenagers’ minds are just this direct channel to romance. hilarious and also something I understand on a PROFOUND level.
#every time I display any kind of emotion or any kind of interesting thought#or anything that in some measure charms them/amuses them#they’re like. instantly contemplating my chances of finding romance#and/or suggesting that that is in fact the thing to be gotten#like obviously there is just teenage/student nosiness and curiosity but there’s also this thing where they’re like#something about you is lovable. is someone in love with you#AND I HAVE THE SAME STREAK#that I am learning to outgrow and expand beyond#so that the actual focus of my life is not just romance as the ultimate measure of that which is worthy#(if that makes sense)#but I have the same instinct as a romantically-coded person#like. I’ll wear a cute outfit or be funny about Shakespeare and they’re like ‘wait some guy should be appreciating this’#and alkskekekekekejeje t b h !!!!#also when I say students I mean a few students here and there who verbalize it#not all of them obviously#teaching tag#just reflecting because it’s funny

I've been going through Shakespeare's sonnets and I just got to 31 and I think it could be used as a prayer from the Ninth to Reverend Daughter Harrowhark:
Thy bosom is endearèd with all hearts Which I by lacking have supposèd dead, And there reigns love and all love’s loving parts, And all those friends which I thought burièd. How many a holy and obsequious tear Hath dear religious love stol’n from mine eye, As interest of the dead, which now appear But things removed that hidden in thee lie. Thou art the grave where buried love doth live, Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone, Who all their parts of me to thee did give; That due of many now is thine alone. Their images I loved I view in thee, And thou, all they, hast all the all of me.
Like, it posits that the speaker's current object of affection embodies everything they loved in other friends / lovers / whomever else, dead or out of their lives, and so the object of the poem comforts them. And whether you assume that the Ninth lowkey has an idea about what her parents did or whether they simply are horribly grieved about the loss of the rest of the kids, this would work, and the tension of that ambiguity is to me just *chef's kiss*.
#I talk#locked tomb#the locked tomb#shakespeare#side note my friend and I talk a lot about like#why does (at least according to gideon) the ninth only have fuckin#octogenarians? like where are the parents of the rest of the kids#my running theory has been that since we also learn that the last Ninth member of the cohort died ~5 years before GtN#that all the bereaved parents basically signed up to get away from the tragedy#and harrow's parents felt too guilty to stop them even though letting everyone the right age to have kids go is a fuckin#disaster of epic proportions for the ninth with its lack of womb-pod things#anyway I'm going through the sonnets slowly bc I'm using them to record my voice as T drops it#seemed like more fun than just repeating a phrase
