What makes a villain? Page said there are the complicated cases—Shylock, Lindsey Graham—and then there are the crazies. Before playing Iago, he studied psychopaths. “The most generous numbers in terms of psychopathy are one in twenty-five,” he said. “It’s terrifying, isn’t it? I do a thing in my show where I go through the psychopath checklist, which Dr. Robert Hare created, in 1972. Iago ticks every box. It’s very, very hard to tick every box.” What about some modern-day villains? George Santos? “Ticks some of the boxes,” Page said. Putin? “Ticks all of the boxes.”
Last night we went to a play with my mother-in-law in NYC. Small theater, 100-150 people. MIL likes getting front-row seats; everyone sitting behind us has to walk in front of us to get to their seats.
This older woman walks by. I don't really notice. This older man walks by. I think, "wow, that dude really looks like Bill Clinton."
Older man is followed by some dudes with earpieces. I turn around to where they're walking. I see the guy who looks like Bill Clinton and the older woman standing together. He doesn't look like Bill Clinton, he IS Bill Clinton, and Hillary.
Patrick Page talks about Shakespeare villains. He talks about Angelo from Measure for Measure. Recites his monologue where he tells Isabella that no one will believe her if she says he solicited sex from her (in exchange for her brother's life).
I wonder, is Bill thinking, reflecting on anything back there, or is he just vibing?
Patrick Page talks about Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Are Bill and Hillary thinking fondly on their time as the nation's Power-Couple-in-Chief?
OKAY! This is the Condemned (who I call Dem) and he’s a forsaken god twisted into a horrible abomination as punishment for consorting with other cosmic beings.
At his prime he used to eat divinities to gain power, but now he’s a shell of his former self. He feeds on the flesh, blood, and bone of minor otherworldly beings (now demons and angels) now.
Also he and Blackheart might have a totally unprofessional thing going on.
So yeah, no Hades this time my fellas. But I know how good He is for Shakespeare plays ❤️🩹 bet is going to be so freaking amazing, everyone who has the opportunity to go and see it should.
I originally released this review in March 2022 but the comic itself recently went from self published to being published through Scout Comics and came out this past Wednesday so I gave it an update and thought I’d re-share!
ngl i almost specifically added the spikes on Dem’s legs so that they would stab and grapple into Blackheart when he wraps his legs around them when they fuck
I posted my top tracks for the month of January on Instagram today, and 60% of them were from Hazbin Hotel.
I briefly thought I was going to be normal about it – which was such a silly thing to expect. It’s an animated musical show about the hypocrisy of Heaven and the humanity of those who have been relegated to Hell. So hand-made for my Broadway-loving, religiously-traumatized ass. It is all I…
