#whatever shall we do now

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)

Draco: Harry, come quickly. There's a snake in here.
Harry: There's a snake. In our bedroom?
Draco: Yes! I need you to get rid of it. It's an emergency.
Harry: How did it get all the way in there I wonder?
Draco: How should I know?
Harry: Couldn't you just vanish it?
Draco: No. I've...ah... *throws wand across the room* I've lost my wand.... Hurry. It looks highly venomous.
Harry: Does it? Funny how this keeps happening. You're sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you like it when I speak Parseltongue?
Draco: ...
Draco: Are you going to save me or not?
Harry *in Parseltongue*: Yes Draco. I'll save you from the terrible deadly serpent. I can't believe I married someone who brings snakes into our house. I suppose it's better than falling in love with someone convenient. I'd've been so bored.
#Snake: See you next week. Harry: yeah. or sooner.#draco: oh thank goodness. the snake's gone. whatever shall we do now that we're here?#ok but draco absolutely like it when harry speaks parseltongue.#crack#humor#drarry crack#drarry humor#drarry#established drarry#Harry Potter#Draco Malfoy#hpdm#h/d#harry/draco

I'm sorry, but this is THE most vanilla fandom ever. Oh my goddddd. The entire lot of us freaking out over *checks notes* Colin watching porn. like i have legit seen takes of people being like 'Penelope should know his kinks before he CORRUPTS her' and 'won't anyone think of Penelope's perspective in this!!!' and 'she needs to know and agree to his fetishes'
like I'm SO sorry peeps are pearl clutching over Colin being a kinky little freak (allegedly) but like the man BEEN had a thing for watching and a filthy mouth, sorry not sorry, but I'm kind of loving the idea that he's joining the battle against kink and debauchery on the side of kink and debauchery and frankly I think Penelope would, too
#polin#colin bridgerton#penelope featherington#sorry for the double post but this is actually important to me and i wanna see it in the tags#like. . .can we stop looking down on kink in this fandom? don't think i forgot the backlash during kinktober#oh me oh my what a terrible curse that penelope now has a kinky husband#whatever shall she do???!!!!#please#not very sex positive on main of y'all

got to see the total eclipse in person!!! heres some art commemorating that! cuz getting to watch 2 celestial bodies make out sloppy style was inspiring what can i say, also it was just rlly beautiful and cool and amazing to get to see ghg- but also! its like?? basically the moon finally getting the suns undivided attention... and thats got some vibes to it,, some energies... that i could not ignore lol.
#original art#eclipse#solar eclipse 2024#total eclipse#doodles#original#artists on tumblr#ok sorry these r probably kinda sloppy looking. 1 paintings very difficult.#and 2. my brain wouldnt let me work on other shit before finishing these but i have other shit i NEED TO DO#so im deciding they r now finished i dont wanna spend any more time on them lol#i think they turned out ok tho#i recorded the process of me drawing them too so#there might..be a speedpaint. possibly#last time i said a picture would get a speedpaint was like 2 years ago and it didnt get one cuz my computer hated me lol#but! i have a new computer now...#if i find the time / energy to make that speedpaint.. then there might be a speedpaint#we shall see lol#i kno the height difference i gave them isnt acurate at all to actual sizes. the sun is bigger#but... this is what i wanted to draw gghgh-#if it makes u feel any better i did come up w a headcanon while drawing that they can just shapeshift freely n be whatever heights they wan#right now the moons just taller#cuz i said so#also sorry they kinda resemble my tak and gaz a bit… that wasn’t intentional… I just wanted the moon to be gothy and the sun be spiky#but#they kinda do look a bit like them ghg-

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:
thing that I already do
thing I have tried 10 times
thing I already do
thing that I don't have the money to do
thing I already do
thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail
thing that is impossible given my situation
thing that doesn't apply to me
thing that I already do
thing I have already tried
hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently
thing I have already done
#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things#out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever#all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever#or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc.#especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple#and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already#done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and#all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you.#who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3#my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster#talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo#I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache#or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop#e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all#sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef#t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of#way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I#think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i#gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!'#like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant#mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain#or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right#now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like#most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once#that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY#Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

ur honor they are literally fucked up little foils of each other
thumbnails of ideas i was having for very fancy pieces under the cut! we’ll see if i get around to actually finishing any of them
#i have Hopes...we shall see about finishing them thumbnails#hollow knight#hollow knight fanart#hollow knight meme#chad vs virgin meme#catboy#im just tagging this whatever the shit now i guess#hollow knight soul master#hollow knight pale king#last one is my fave but im not sure what to have as the source of void there#like i drew ghost's mask but i also had delicate flower there at some point for whatever reason idk but ghost's mask doesn't rlly vibe#imo if u get what i mean. i do like the piece a lot tho#it's got a lot of Things going on. many layers. much like an onion. i'm happhy to explain if i don't get the finished piece out#ive decided to dislike the pure focus one bc its not obvious enough that pk is doing said pure focus w/o the words and i don't want to be#that reliant on words#<---literally enjoys drawing comics like some kind of weirdo or even a freak#one of the reasons pk is the virgin walk is bc we don't even get to fight him. hash tag lame#ok narratively i think it works out but also. i want to see what his boss fight would b like#thats what its called. the chad walk vs the virgin walk meme...no?#ugh whatever

Happy Spring Fest and Chinese/Lunar New Year!
To celebrate, here are a select few of my D&D OCs in like Hanfu/older Chinese dress. Yes, all my OCs so far would be represented by this because its their culture. Yes I wanted to draw this. No I didn't have time, so we're going to have to settle.
Hailang (Hai) Saangbiar:
Paladin needs her sleeves tight to her wrist. Blue colorscheme.
And also everything in this link lowkey I want to buy it now HAHA
For example:
So good so good, first is more "historical" take of this outfit, the second is more of a fantasy take.
Luxury (Lux) Quartz:
Fantasy-esque style with of course added accessories. Can also do both gender's styles. BIG SLEEVES it's part of the drama!
Obviously, the fan comes along with the outfit. They fucking love the loud sound the fan comes with when opening.
Post Timeskip Lux (future campaign):
Also! Lux is a drama king so of course they'd rock a Shanghai style modernized qipao. Especially because it was see as a "showy" sensual modern clothing item anyways, they'd be drawn to it. This isn't shown lol I got tired.
Ssatosthülasi (Ula)
I saw this one photoshoot with snake-hanfu and I'm obsessed. She would rock the blue and the white both. Also she would have a relationship this sapphic, and I'll need to write it down eventually. Not shown, but Ula would also rock a modernized qipao. With like. Embroidered snakes.
Damien Wang/Gu
Based off the DC character Damian Wayne/Al-Ghul, so of course I had to find something that worked with the wonk colorscheme of red, yellow, and green. AND I FOUND SOMETHING THAT LOOKS DECENT?
Oh he's drinking alc here well, kinda fits the character if you know you know
Happy spring fest hehe!
#Yes there is hanfu discourse and I'm sorry for delving deep right into it well#Unfortunately that's umm... my ethnic clothes?#So yeah I go into this in a very REN FAIRE style#Just so you know BUT if you are an expert and have any suggestions would love to hear#Anyways#COME TRY TO WHITEWASH MY CHARACTERS JUST TRY OHHH IT'S HARDER NOW OH NO WHATEVER SHALL WE DO#ocs#oc#hanfu#hailang saangbiar#Ssatosthülasi#Luxury Quartz

opening the second chances fic doc after barely writing anything this week and remembering why i was so stuck :) sigh :) i absolutely love trying to connect little bits and pieces of unfinished scenes that are written out of order :))) why am i like this :))))))
#also worrying with how im formatting this fic. bc it goes back and forth between 1989/1990 and 1997. often.#and im like hm. maybe. maybe thats not good. maybe i go back and forth too much.#but as the fic goes on we'll be getting fewer 1989/90 scenes and the 1997 scenes will get longer....but idk#just worrying abt the pacing and the format/structure and worrying that the way it is now is gonna make it hard to read#but also this is a silly little fic that im writing for fun in my free time so like. i can do whatever i want ig#also where is the spencer that once cranked out 13k words in 5 days. am i back to the spencer who takes ten months to write 10k words.....#bc thats how long it took me to write my chaptered benvi fic but i wrote my [redacted] fic in FIVE DAYS. a chapter a day!!!#this is gonna be a oneshot which the longest oneshot ive written is 5k and this one im hoping to get closer to 8k-10k with it#maybe longer if it needs to be idk. we shall see#anyways. back to writing the mike/joyce scene even tho im lowkey dreading it & getting secondhand anxiety from my own writing lol#s.txt

Ok @sprokat has (very lovingly lmao) reminded me that I was going to set into a wip weekend game!
It was created by @rottingfern - I'll reblog their post in a minute so you'll probably have seen it first for the better explanation - to uh. Give us a friendly nudge into working on our wips? Hell yeah love that for us
*with the caveat of actually i am on holiday so limited computer access (aka my phone) and definitely going places this afternoon at least*
Anyway hell yeah gonna be good
The WIPs
Shapeshifter wip (Syn/Halliel, fantasy, star crossed lovers)
Soul of the Party (fantasy, light detective shenanigans)
DnD (specific characters are; Maverick, Tem, Chant/Luci/Makaria, Razmatazz, Tosh, Karo, Phorg)
Dorks 'n' Disasters (fate based ttrpg currently in edits. Full first arc draft can be seen at @dorksndisasters)
But hey listen if you want to ask about any of the others, go crazy go wild
The Games
Three by Threes: The OG WIP Wednesday game. For each filename you receive in your ask box, reply to the ask with 3 NEW sentences on that WIP.
Lore Corner: Answer questions about your WIP. It can be anything from headcanons to backstory that you have for your WIP that don't even make it into the fic. Askers - get creative with your questions! (If you are playing Lore Corner, please give a single-sentence description of each of your WIPs so askers have some context)
#talkin' malarky#weekend wip game#I will remake this once I'm back lmao but this shall do for now#i think the og was fic actually but we can and will repurpose for whatever suits don't'cha know#anyway i am going to go drink some fucking water#ya boi's a thirsty bitch

proof I haven’t forgotten about speak of the devil’s final chapter
#king’s court#bleach#grimmichi#my fic#also I just really like this as an opening line#I don’t write fight scenes often because. I’m not good at them#which. yeah. okay to get good I need to practice#but I digress#I have an idea of how I want this chapter to go but we shall see if the boys cooperate#overlord grimm is that text post that’s like you guys actually ask your crushes out. what do you do. lmao I die??#except for him it’s lmao I kill them??? what a question#regular Grimmjow is also like this except he’s realized he likes Ichigo too much to actually kill him and thereby force him to#be a shinigami full time#because Ichigo would hate him forever if he did that#and unfortunately - or fortunately whatever - he’s long past the point where being hated is acceptable as long as he gets his fights#bro caught feelings and went through the five stages of grief#now he’s just waiting for the idiot to catch up so he can start gnawing on him (romantic)

I can’t remember the last time I felt this much anxiety as just now when I was reading the last chapter of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes...
Like, the switch from cottagecore-level daydreams of the future to a fucking hunter/prey thriller is instant and unpredictable and I will need 3-5 business days to recover
#my god#I actually started the book back in September 2020 but forgot to finish it#and since we’re in a thg revival apparently I decided to finally find out how it ended so I wouldn’t be spoiled#and holy shit#I was NOT prepared#like logically I knew the two wouldn’t end up roughing it out in whatever remained of canada#cause we all now where Snow ended up 64 years later#and I had a feeling he’d have something to do with what happened to Lucy Gray#but... fuck I didn’t expect it to happen like that or so suddenly or so deliberately#OH ALSO THE WAY SUZANNE STARTS REFERRING TO HIM AS SNOW INSTEAD OF CORIOLANUS IN THE EPILOGUE OMG#anyways#I shall now fill the void left in my chest with fanfic. thank you very much#the hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes

your satosuku posts make my day! i love how you gush over them bc same lmfaoo. i'm glad i found your blog and a few others' over here on tumblr 😁 the gosuku tag is unfortunately quite inactive but it's rly good to know that i'm not the only one who ships them 🤧 (gosuku doesn't deserve to be stuck in rarepair hell i'm so sad ugh)
aaaaahhhh anon im so happy to hear that!!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 AND DW I GET YOU COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!! u are absolutely not the only one in this boat
sukugo has always been my fave ship in jjk and i have never EVER understood why it's a rare pair. like???? how could u not ship the two strongest!!!!!!! the parallels that come with that!!! (which is now actually being explored in canon 🙌) and also with the amount of sexual tension they have!!!!! (like even before the current manga fight did u NOT see the lil cheek-ear touch in the second ep??? or the flirting??? the "you'll be the first i'll kill" and the "it's an honor to be targeted by sukuna"???? like hello??? these two have been wanting to fuck since they first met) let us ignore the fact that those 2 interactions were all that they had GDJDHDS
but yeah......before the tag didn't even exist here 😭 i was literally the one who had to found the sukugo + gosuku tags, like if u scroll down all the first posts are mine ahdjfhsjvdd 🙈 so yeah gushing about them and spreading the agenda has always been my thing hahah 🙈 i actually run the @sukugo blog and also sukugo/gosuku archive on twt! they were both inactive the past 2 years as i was into other stuff, but ive come back to them as my jjk obsession has revived hehe
to be honest, i feel like the ship has definitely grown, and with the current fight it's really something that u can't not at least consider. (all the flirting and fun they're having, the gojo hug-head grab attack, THE WHOLE LOVE THING.) and idk if to still count it as a rarepair 🤔, (tho if u're on tumblr it DEFINITELY feels like it 😭😭😭😭) (but such is the state of all jjk ships here lmaoo 😔) but yeah i think on twt its definitely more present (but i mean as i said, yeah that's a given.)
ANYWAYS, do NOT worry anon!!! there's quite a few of us here and we all got each other!!! let's gush about these fuckers togetehr!!!! <33333333
#ily anon u get it they're so good so perfect for each other they're such a great ship i love them a lot a lot uhgjsgfdhsfdjshdsj I LOVE THEM#our love shall impulse sukugosuku out of tumblr impopularity we can do this anon#f.ask#jjk#sukugo#added a lil promo for my blog and acc haha#but i mean as much as i made those accs for me they're also for other shippers too so i must share them!!! the love must be shared!!!#tho im rlly not being super strict with sukugosuku archive as i don't really use twt much any more#before id literally go through the tags each day and rt everything#but now i just rt whatever comes up on my tl#anyways................sukugosuku best ship..........
