"Was I sweet once?"

What the fuck, Richard.

I'm curious about people's levels of familiarity; I intend no judgment or elitism and it's absolutely fine not to be a completionist, btw. I didn't think I would've intended to have read them all at age 25; it just sort of happened that after I passed the halfway point in the middle of 2023, I came out of a reading slump and was motivated to finish. Fwiw I consider myself a hobbyist (I am not involved in academia or professional theater) but I realize that that label is usually attributed to people with less experience.

I also have always loved seeing other bloggers' Shakespeare polls where they put certain plays or characters up against each other, but I'm often left wondering if it's really a 'fair' fight all the time if you're putting up something like Hamlet or Twelfth Night against one of the more obscure works, like the Winter's Tale. It's not a grave affront to vote in those polls if you don't know every play, but I am curious about it.

Please reblog for exposure if you vote; I would appreciate it a lot. Also feel free to elaborate on your own Shakespeare journey in tags, comments, reblogs, because I love to hear about other people's personal relationships to literature.

so many gaming companies can't even pretend to hide their disdain for fat people and its infuriating trying to get anyone to care. like even the most popular and enjoyable games just. forget fat people exist. hades game? one single fat mini boss character design. bg3? no fucking fat tav allowed i guess. or if they do put thought into usually a single fat character their thoughts begin and end with "fat equals greed and laziness". little nightmares, resident evil. don't even get me started on genshin impact. a skinny white girl holding a taco is still skinny. her whole fucking waist is the width of just one of my thighs. give me a break.

Rewatching all HTTYD media and realising Hiccup is one of the best shots of the show like genuinely sticks funeral arrow hitting the target that far away, the fact he shot down toothless in pitch blackness while toothless was completely camouflaged there's some more I'm missing but damn get that kid in the Olympics right this second

imagine how much shorter rtte would’ve been if they gave hiccup a gun
