With great eyes comes high light and flashing sensitivity 👁️🕶️📸🥺

It gets overwhelming sometimes and he gets temporary blindness 😵😭

It evolves a lot of squinting in pics, wearing tinted glasses, even indoors (not to mention they look cool ❄️)

That's also why his house (new Mexico) is mostly lit by soft and yellow lights, scones💡 and candles 🕯️even the chandelier.

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or to do anything in particular - but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported. Unknown

JULIUS CAESAR- ACT 1, SCENE 2

When Caesar says “Do this,” it is performed!

All throughout the first half of the play, Caesar is willfully blind to the warnings of others and to the numerous omens before the assassination. In this moment of brief insensibility, he’s allowed to crack through the shell of the play and unwittingly glimpse his fate. Fascinating how it always has to be Casca who initiates the outpouring of Caesar’s blood, like a snake piercing a seemingly invulnerable body.

Forget about the seduction of Brutus, what about the seduction of Casca by his very victim

Plutarch- Life of Caesar

Suetonius- The Life of Julius Caesar

#shakespeare’s julius caesar #julius caesar #shakespeare #digital art #comics #late roman republic #ancient rome #oh and also..something about how there were more statue heads than bodies in ancient rome because it was so easy to replace the head of one #by simply severing the statue’s neck 👀

shakespeare, “a midsummer night’s dream” • fall out boy, “church” • him, “the sacrament” • katherine philips, “friendship’s mystery, to my dearest lucasia” • @entirelytookeen, “(my) destruction within your mouth” • kerry banazek, “as an experiment”

just saw an annoying post about Shakespeare so I need to say this right fucking now

Shakespeare is good, his plays, his sonnets, they are enjoyable and good literarure

What Shakespeare isn't is high class literature that you need a fucking degree to enjoy or to analyse to enjoy

a lot of what he writes (especially sonnets) is (sometimes convoluted) sex jokes and the rest is very interesting character development/interaction, funny plot and well written tragedy

analysing Shakespeare can be fun if you enjoy doing that but it is entirely possible to just watch or read something of his the same way you would watch or read modern YA fantasy or something.

anyone who has ever called you ignorant or stupid for not enjoying or not wanting to analyse Shakespeare is a fucking twat and anyone who has ever called you stuck up for enjoying Shakespeare (and/or analysing it) is also a fucking twat

tldr: literally just let people enjoy things the way they want to it's not your place to say what to like or how to experience it.

#shakespeare #william shakespeare #sorry this is an entirely pointless rant i just got very annoyed by a post i saw #like its literally just sonnets and plays #the requirement to analyse them is precisely the same as the requirement to analyse any other piece of media #i.e. only if that is how you want to experience it #and it is entirely possible to not analyse it at all and simply enjoy it #because many of his plays and sonnets are actiallly good and i am tired of people saying that liking any shakespeare makes you pretentious

neat little portia - cassius parallel where both characters hold up their reputations to make an emotional appeal to brutus, which he doesn't have to properly answer because a sound off-stage interrupts them.

#shakespeare tag #cassius isnt asking a direct question but theres one in there yk. 'do i have a reputation for being untrustworthy'#which. considering the mixed opinion on cassius from other characters in the play. is pretty up in the air. like brutus is close #w caesar so its not unlikely that caesars complained about cassius before to him. but then again he considers cassius a friend so #he might simply lie or remember good things people have said about cassius. but he doesnt have to say anything bc of the shouting #meanwhile portia is directly asking him and he does say that he'll tell her but thats not the same as actually telling her

There are many reasons my interests are more geared towards mediaeval Scotland than mediaeval England, but at least one of them has to be the fact that I am completely incapable of Being Normal about the Lion in Winter and Shakespeare's second tetralogy.

#Like I simply could not remain unbiased #Not in a 'taking sides' kind of way but more in a 'the real Henry II did not entirely resemble this fictional adaptation'#I refuse to accept it and I don't really want to #I could try very hard to research and write about Henry II sensibly- and I often do when he (or Hotspur later on) impinge on Scottish histo #But fundamentally my image of Henry II is the image of the character from the Lion in Winter #It's horrible to have to admit I'm like one of those unhinged Braveheart or Philippa Gregory people but for twelfth century England #Although with all due respect the Lion in Winter and Henry IV Part 1 are obviously twenty times better than Braveheart #There are other reasons #I kind of feel England has enough people interested in it already #I like to dip in occasionally and it's interesting to read about (and often necessary from a Scottish perspective)#But yeah for many reasons mediaeval England- though fascinating- is not my number one priority #One of the pretty big reasons is though my unfortunate fan behaviour the minute Richard II sits himself down on the ground #To tell sad stories of the death of kings #And you know what that's valid and probably acts as a useful research tool for many people #Just not for me #It's weird though because other than Shakespeare and the Lion in Winter there aren't many period dramas I particularly care for #Not only am I incredibly picky about my historical media when it comes to the Middle Ages (less so for the 20th century)#But I never really understood why people assume when you say 'I like history' you mean 'I like period dramas'#To me these are two separate unrelated activities/hobbies #Not necessarily better than each other just different

Act 1, Scene 1

I am determined to prove a villain...

(update: there's a GIF version here cos I got ambitious)

#sorry but also not sorry #but look. it fits.#shakespeare's richard iii absolutely needs an ableism warning so here it is:#cw: ableism #thor (2011)#loki #i *am* sorry for the low quality graphic design (it's my passion) but you get me right? you get me?#richard iii should have a loyal and very enthusiastic tumblr following and frankly it is A CRIME that he doesn't #(if those nephews didn't want to die untimely deaths they would simply have escaped from the tower of london)#fanwars of the roses

tbh, when you interpret hamlet as being a trans boy, watching him spiral into despair over attempting to get his dead father’s validation all while spending the first bit of the play being belittled for being sad because “tis unmanly grief” connects and hits a lot harder

#i get to say this as a trans guy #hamlet is simply my vessel for projection #my sad trans danish prince #i adore him so much #shakespeare #william shakespere #hamlet
