the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

#not art (yet)#once in a while I look at my prelim sketch and wonder if literally anyone else can read them other than me lmao #Ive returned to sketching in black recently tho... for a Long time I sketched in red. but before that I was doing it in blue #I think doing it this way kinda reminds me of drawing on loose pieces of a4 paper with mechanical pencils #will be nice to have this to chip away at for the foreseeable future. while I do other things also. a not obligation thing #I dont really have the diner experience but I feel like this is. kind of me in last year of high school on yearbook duty #(I was art committee. used it mostly as excuse to skip class with the other art committee kids lmao)(we were all friends)#this would be like. a cafe or a boba place. mostly bc those would have booths or tables tall enough for us to actually draw on #wonder if itd be fun to do a like. art challenge or something like that with this format... like DTIYS but its finishing the same sketch #tbh I only think it's viable bc my sketches are an enigma even to me lmao. esp. prelim/first sketch #would u like that. idk would that be fun for folks #drawing is fun! sometimes. we work towards making it fun more times. Im having fun with this

"It's your duty, you know."

I have been left unsupervised for 5 minutes which means I have made another AU. Anyways who's up for Hypnosis Idol Mas ^^?

I watched an old Submas cover of "This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee" and immediately had the idea of them being idols thanks to the sound of cheering and roaring applause in the background of the song. Getting to the chorus though, I started thinking about that whole idea of mass hypnosis, and now we're here.

Psychics are an existing thing in pokemon (hell, Caitlin of the Unova E4 has psychic powers), so this AU follows a version of Submas with psychic abilities. Unlike the usual psychokinesis seen in pokemon characters, they have something more akin to telepathy or charm. The idea is that they use their psychic abilities in combination with charisma in order to suggest ideas to people.

In the case of the idol thing, they're doing it as a publicity stunt to promote the subway after ridership starts dropping dangerously low. They're essentially convincing the audience to come to the subway by doing a little song and dance with psychic enhancements.

anyways I'm not really sure what else to add so here's a doodle of Ingo doing autographs after the show

See you later!

#submas #submas au #idol au #au #emmet #subway master emmet #subway boss emmet #subway master kudari #emmet pokemon #kudari #ingo #subway master ingo #subway boss ingo #subway master nobori #ingo pokemon #nobori #fanart #digital art #The song is called “This is the Haijin Promotion Committee”!!#it is much less violent than the original version of the song‚ but I think it works :7 #though the implication Ingo will set his pokemon after people who disobey is both horrific and hysterical #also the fact that Emmet's part is more glitchy/static made me think a bit on corruption #like the power is getting to his head and making him more controlling/demanding of the fans‚ or that he's more intense in his performances #in order to keep the hypnosis up #oh speaking of that‚ the lyrics in the background read:#[廃人なのは義務なんです] “Being a maniac is your duty.”#[廃人ですか? 義務ですよ?] “Are you a maniac? It's your duty‚ you know?”#(maniac in the sense of battle crazed/obsessed‚ basically just competitive pokemon trainers)#I also had a sketch planned with them on stage‚ a lot of spiral themes there #oh right! Caitlin is here. She's most there as a side character‚ but she serves as a counterpart (role wise) to Elesa

Hi Mr. Chilchuck, I see you're on the ethics committee! What would you say is the weirdest or most "out there" research proposal you've heard in your time there?

Invertebrates are largely unprotected by Animal Welfare laws, which leads to some…interesting proposals.

[Chicken paper]

Our ask is open!

"hes got the ability to pound you into the wall" very normal thing to say about maffhew, ekky

#txt #sorry im going through a shit ton of ekky pressers #and i have them in the bg as i work on a doc #and he said that and i heard a real life record scratch in my brain #like oh im sure he has the ability to pound you into the wall eks yeah i wonder how you found that out #do you ever think before you open your mouth like genuinely #bad question the answer is obviously no #but i still have to ask it #somehow this is worse than the “rubbing beards” comment about st*al and the nervous giggle that escaped him after he realised he said it #i need a smoke break #“hes got the ability to pound you into the wall” “im right below you”#yeah ekky does want to be get smashed in between the sunrise welcome committee #more news at 11

why did they make me agonise for an entire week?? why couldn't they have just said that I'd hear back around the first week of March instead???

#also apparently the way it works is that you get nominated & then they have another meeting where a different committee talks about money #and specifically how many positions they can fund #there's x spots that are “sure” and then a couple of additional ones potentially if there is enough funding #so they have a ranked list of nominees on the basis of which they assign the positions #apparently my rank is high enough that im in the safe/sure spots???#but if you're so sure.... why the fuck did you not tell me earlier #i asked about the timeline! and they told me oh you'll hear later this week or by x at the latest AND THEN I DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING #if they hadnt said anything i would have just led my life in peace #i am happy but also i am upset #p
