WAKE UP BABE THE NEW CHAPTER OF BLACK BUTLER JUST DROPPED AND IT REFERENCES SHAKESPEARE
#more specifically it's probably the lamb siblings' tales from shakespeare#BUT it could also be bowdler's family shakespeare#btw i love the irony of the tempest being consumed for entertainment during the height of the fucking british empire#but wait what if prince soma appears and makes some sort of postcolonial parallel to caliban...#kuroshitsuji#black butler

[So, to put an end – from my side – to a seemingly endless discussion: yes, I finally agree that ichthyosaurs are diapsids.]

me personally I like to imagine Claudius killed his brother in the first place because he came across a group of witches who told him that he’d be king someday and he took it from there. I also like to imagine that there’s just a coven of witches that hangs around Europe telling unstable and violent men in positions of power that they’re soon to be king just to see what happens. they’re pot stirrers

Absolutely hysterical that the snake who gets wrongly accused of sexually harassing a woman is (one of the two) named after Oscar Wilde.


(Also I just checked with the manga, and it was NOT necessary for this shot to be made so hot. I want to die.)

#kuroshitsuji#black butler#the pipeline from kuroshitsuji to british lit is real. i went through it.#i was so happy when i reread and realised i knew all the names#(and then suffered because the local translation didn't and kept messing donne's and wordsworth's names up)

Listen; here is the hard truth capitalism has brainwashed out of you:
You are a primate, and one of the more naturally docile species at that.
Your natural instinct is to do a few hours of fulfilling work, and just enough grueling work that is necessary for survival. And then, your next instinct is to spend the rest of your day laying lounging around, fucking, playing, and occasionally getting up off your lazy ape ass to care for the more vulnerable members of your group.
Ashamed of living with your parents and struggling to find work? Don’t be. Humans do not have the natural instinct to leave home once reaching adulthood. They also don’t have the natural instinct to work all day, or to stop playing as adults, or to even raise their children in two-parent households without involving a tight-knit community in their upbringing.
Capitalism has gaslit you into thinking that you are somehow above an animal. That you are somehow more capable of hard, draining work that you hate than all the other intelligent social animals.
YOU ARE A LAZY ASS APE. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK A 9-5. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON FOR STILL LIVING AT HOME

TIL that Gothic literature makes a distinction between “terror” and “horror.” Terror is the sense of dread and apprehension that precedes an experience, horror is the sense of revulsion after an experience.
