Me listening to all of the Lowry chapters in Absolution as an audiobook:

just started listening to the latest tmagp episode and... do people (by which i mean, ppl in this fandom) generally know about the pillowman? (this is a genuine question -- i was a theater major in college and they did the show while i was there so i really don't know the general public's familiarity with the play)

if you don't know the pillowman i am begging you to look up the summary and understand how much sam truly whiffed it in his choice of "play for second date to distract from our literal horror show of a workplace"

Order of the Golden Fleece given to the Prince Regent by Prince Metternich

[luv-again]

this new fic is so funny to me bc i'm just like:

" you'll take my em-dashes, and my semicolons, and my countless comma filled sentences, and my dramatic paragraph breaks, and my deliberate but odd choice of perspective, and every single one of my metaphors (and when they recurr), AND all my spiritual theming - and you'll *clenching my teeth* like it "

So today I was reminded that the remake of The Crow is happening, and got sad and pissed off about it. Like, I really enjoy Bill Skarsgård as an actor, but... he is not and will never be someone that I can recognize as Eric Draven.

But I shall refrain from trying to ruin other people's enjoyment of it. I refuse to carry on like those dudes who think the all-woman Ghostbusters remake ruined their entire childhoods. Even if I really want to.

The original still exists, and I can enjoy that, and marvel at how a movie released in 1994 about people who wear all black in Grimdark Detroit at night is somehow better lit that a bunch of more recent stuff. It never once becomes a blur of shapes. I can always see exactly what and where the action is, and the lighting perfectly highlights what the viewer's supposed to pay attention to, and so many filmmakers don't seem to understand that this is, in fact, important.

pro-tip: don't ever use the sentence "thousands of years" in your worldbuilding unless you really know what a thousand years is like

"gay or european" also goes for middle-aged women btw. that lady with short hair no makeup and sneakers isn't a lesbian she's just german

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

[alivingtypo]

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands
