okay now I'm curious and I dunno if this is really such an archaic foreign thing to young people today or if I'm just out of touch

Please reblog, I'd love to see a lot of responses!

the weirdly vengeful and petty tones aborted babies take in pro-life propaganda images are so funny like this passive aggressive "was it worth it mommy?" and "it's a shame you can't join me in heaven mommy 😔" like do you ever wonder if you were aborted for a reason you little bitch ass baby

some highlights from my students’ romeo and juliet modern interpretation projects:

- someone made a username for friar laurence with 420 at the end - the same kid who put 69 in romeo’s username like i wouldn’t know what either of those things mean - the girl who added ‘clean’ at the end of all the songs on her juliet playlist like lmao girl i know spotify doesn’t have the clean version - the kid who said romeo and juliet killed each other - the weird dichotomy of kids who put love story on their playlist vs the kids who choose bad blood - the kid who wrote ‘get a room’ as tybalt’s comment on romeo’s couple pic - the kid who said ‘romeo is probably one of those douches who follows a ton of people so they follow him back and then he unfollows all of them’ - the one who legitimately used the word ‘alrighty’ do kids say this in their text messages???? i thought i was the one talking like an elderly person but okay - the one who made romeo’s username ‘montagoose’ - the only kid who acknowledged that posting about your secret relationship on instagram was a bad idea - the girl who wrote that romeo would unironically say ‘#blessed’. she’s right. - the one single solitary girl who wrote mercutio as gay as shakespeare did (she’s also the only one who used mercutio at all which is a tragedy but whatever) - the one who wrote romeo’s insta bio as ‘thus with a kiss i die… LOL RIP ME 😂💀’ - the one who made benvolio’s username benvoliYO

I need people to know that this is Samoa Joe's move. He started it as a gag during house shows and other wrestlers loved it so much they kept asking him to do it in matches.

Here's a small sampling of some of my favorites.

And here's the Jon Cruz one just so you can see how much the feeling was capture perfectly in the drawing.

Joe is one of my favorite wrestlers, not just because he's a consummate professional, but because he's got great technical skills, charisma, and knows how to sell for his opponent. You can tell he genuinely loves all aspects of pro wrestling.

Commission for @lormando, a drawing of a notable wrestling moment which was described to me thusly:

"If you need context for the picture, the wrestler in the air (Jon Cruz [young, foolish]) is attempting to dive onto the other wrestler (Samoa Joe [veteran, smug]). Samoa Joe is seen here utilizing an extremely powerful counter move known as 'just walk away from the guy'."

(commission info here!)

Reference image below the cut, because it's very good.

I was so close to siding with Maelle at the end of Expedition 33. Through the arguments she has with Renoir before and after the final battle, to her making the case that her friends in the Canvas are important to her and she can’t lose them too, I was on her side. I believed her when she said that she could strike a balance between living in the Canvas and the real world, or maybe I WANTED to believe her the same way Renoir did. Still, I thought she was right.

But then.

But then you actually see the fragment of the true Verso’s soul painting in the space between worlds. And he looks…so tired. So weak. Just a small shadow of a wisp with a cratered face trapped in a cycle he can’t break because he has no agency to do so. Painted Verso recognizes it. He might not be the true Verso, but I think Aline painted him the most accurately. I saw it then too, that the last piece of the real Verso would be just as much a prisoner as Maelle if it is left there. And I don’t think the real Verso, the one who died to save his beloved sister, would want to see her lose herself in the past.

And I realized…Maelle is right, and even though she’s right I had to destroy the Canvas. I don’t think Painted Verso was trying to destroy it for purely selfish reasons, just like I don’t think Maelle was trying to save it for purely selfish reasons. But he’s painted to be like the real Verso, and he will always try to save Alicia even if he has to sacrifice himself to do so.

Because if she stays, Alicia never has to process her grief. She has a version of Verso, none of the reminders of the pain of life, and no feeling in the Canvas of her real body withering on the other side. Even if she has to trap both versions of her brother to keep the painting perfect, she can be happy.

But life is about hard choices, and sometimes the hardest choice is to let go and move on. And yes, the people of the Canvas are real and alive. Yes, it isn’t fair that they have no choice in either outcome. That’s the point, I’d argue. We make that choice, and we live with the consequences. Neither ending is clean; grief is not clean. It stings that I can’t save them and Alicia. One choice isn’t morally superior to the other.

I sided with Verso. Because Alicia is suffering, and I’ve suffered the sting of grief and know what it can do if you don’t meet it when it comes. And Alicia deserves the chance to work through her grief over losing Verso. To paint her own Canvases instead of just maintaining the world of a ghost. To truly live instead of just exist. And Verso, the last vestige of Verso, deserves to have his sacrifice for his sister honored. He deserves to stop painting so she can truly begin to.

You have been sentenced to death in a magical court. The court allows all prisoners to pick how they die and they will carry it out immediately. You have it all figured out until the prisoner before you picks old age and is instantly transformed into a dying old man. Your turn approaches.

Thekla being in AEW is hilarious because in Kayfabe, she was fired from Stardom for beating up the Stardom President so Tony Khan saw that and was like “yeah, she’ll be fine. I know I’m the President of this company but she won’t hit me. I’m special.”
