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)

The amount of people who talk about Japan like it's heaven on earth (or, conversely, the worst place known to man), it feels like they need to see Japan a certain way, so they turn it into whatever they need it to be when it’s just A COUNTRY.
No, no one is getting deported for taking pictures. Yes, you are likely to be deported for smoking weed. The toilets are very fancy! Some of the infrastructure is very much not. Yes, some of the societal norms are stricter in some senses than, say, the US. But there are also a number of people who ignore them and don’t follow the “rules”. One person’s experience in Japan is likely to be completely different from another, depending on where they are, who they are, where they’re from, what they look like, etc.
So if you see a one off tweet about the “wisdom of the Japan” or like “THERE ARE NO PERSONAL FREEDOMS” just remember that it’s just a country, this is likely over exaggerated, and it’s a place that people live in, just like where you live ^_^

Brainy wants Clumsy to kick the smurf ball, but Clumsy has his doubts. Clumsy looks over the signed document about Brainy's promise to not pull the ball away. After some thought, Clumsy gets ready to kick that ball. This time, he trips over the ball instead of kicking it. Peanuts reference.

I just completed my roughly biannual reread of The Order Of The Stick. The interesting thing about it is that it’s verbose, and it uses that verbosity to achieve things in the narrative that it can only get away with because it’s paired with such a sparse art style. It generally works, but if the verbosity were paired with a more attention-demanding, detail heavy art style, the unnatural stylization of the dialogue’s pacing, the constant fourth wall breaks, and the constant integration of D&D mechanics into the plot and characterization would all be vastly more obtrusive. There’s proof of concept, in the form of some old attempts at page redraws on the Giant-In-The-Playground forums where the better rendering is actively competing for attention with the big blocks of dialogue. It is such a strong example of a work that can only exist in the way that it does.
The other thought I had is that an animated version of OOTS presents basically the only case use imaginable for Adventure Time’s general art style outside of Adventure Time.
