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)

pygmalion and galatea for aroace people

you should tell your friends what I look like, riz gukgak.

#fantasy high #fantasy high sophomore year #fhsy #riz gukgak #baron from the baronies #fh class quangle #class swap babeyy! bard!riz that's whats goin on!#I really need tags for these now I think lmao #ask to tag #I feel like this should be tagged something. but I dont know what #in my brain after the initial kidnapping class swap baron's thing is every time riz keeps his story abt them up in front of his friends #they get a little bit closer. they send him pictures of where they supposedly are n stuff #theres a scene in my brain only of kristen and riz on top of the van and kristen is like everything kinda sucks rn can u tell me abt baron #cause what you guys have is so nice and beautiful. and riz almost doesn't but he ultimately can't deny kristen a little peace #lmao I feel like dipping into baron stuff with the class swap is like showing my whole ass online again I just. I'm a #horror person before all else... I cant stop myself. canon baron is Great and Cool but that is kind of the thing. for a horror thing theyre #Too Cool. I think cool is kind of the neutralizer of scary. when a monster is a certain amount of cool it overrides the scary #and now u just have a Cool Monster #its so fucked for bard!riz this year bc he doesn't have an office (he's mooching off the school wifi from the AV club room lol)#so there's no buffer between adventure and home life. so baron just shows up in the strongtower apartment lmao #sophomore year bard!riz looks like a slasher protag so I just leaned into it I guess. he gets a mr. x if mr. x is made up by leon kennedy #well. its worse actually. they can show up where he is at any moment theyve proven this. but they dont #they choose to punish him slowly as he lies to his friends instead. baron is mr. x if mr. x is made up by leon and also a bitch #I think its gonna pop up if class swap baron ever speaks in a comic I do but their voice comes from like. inside their hollow face #it sounds like it's a lot deeper in there than that skull should be #tbh what I have rn is kinda like a bag of loose pieces that Can fit together into something great but I dont have the energy to #really sit down with them yet lol. Im doing this inbetween other things #it comes or it doesn't! it's fine. funny how today's bad comic day also. I wont say this is for bad comic day bc all my comics are #flawless and beautiful and perfect and awesome and beautiful and the best #but u should. if u havent drawn a comic today or at all ever u should draw a comic

Are true riverdale fans of the opinion it is a very good and nearly flawless show or does being a true riverdale fan mean being able to mock writing choices

it's long-running serial television plotted a season/half at a time so definitely not even "nearly" flawless.

BUT. i'm not doing combat with the writing team. i'm not actively reading against the text the way i have to in order to enjoy something like supernatural or the 90s robin comics or the fucking sopranos, which are patriarchal christiancore copworld rapeworld white supremacist horrorshows that hate their minority audiences, with like 2 good creatives involved and martyring themselves to fight the good fight on sparse rare installments if you try to approach them sincerely.

riverdale writing staff are like a favorite smart problematic tumblr mutual to me. I don't always like what's on their blog or who they're referencing. but we're in the same community and i'm interested and inspired and i trust their agenda overall, even when i see shit i wouldn't have fucking posted. but bc i'm not being condescended to or actively spited i'm not gonna condescend to or spite them, you know?

i expect rvd to age like twin peaks (another very uneven, highly referential serial juggling a couple of intensely cool metanarratives on top of its core story). and twin peaks fandom mocks twin peaks all the time. twin peaks includes some CLUNKY shit. it's kitsch. it's camp. it has a second season that is largely ASS. james is there. and on top of that it also includes some genuinely offputting-to-me stuff that just bothers me to sit through, even though i feel like i understand and respect what they're going for with it. i just don't want to watch someone sweep the fucking bar for minutes and minutes as entertainment. OK!!?

...so yeah. mock riverdale but in the right spirit. is that an answer? do i sound like i'm chugging the flavoraid koolaid fresh-aid? probably.

#i like the way people mock the flop parts of twin peaks and i enjoy it when people mock the flop parts of riverdale in the same tone #but rvd NOT one of those shows where the fandom is the thing that makes it good by appropriating and rearranging it. like some listed above #riverdale isn't dumb. it's not thoughtless. it's a lowbrow postmodern love letter to trash media and it takes a lot of big risky swings.#and its juggling act does NOT always work in practice. i don't always agree with the tradeoffs it takes to balance like.#the mainline text AND the queer subtext AND the fanfictiony iterative media riffs AND the genre meta AND the actual canonical metaplot #but it really does reward curiosity and close-reading. it's like a little puzzle cube you have to turn over a few times sometimes to solve #i feel judgmental about people who hit 'post' on what's obviously like a very surface level reaction without much thought put into it #ohhh the show challenged you? the show folded continuity over on itself and you can't hang anymore? you didn't get what you expected?#and now you're being dismissive instead of sitting with it? ok. dork.#riverdale #(it's not really that serious. but you asked and i'm feeling so so very earnest about Posting today. love you thanks for asking)#(would love to know what parts you most want to mock. i have my own list. eNdGaMe is at the top of it. jughead's mommy issues era too)

#currently on the worst road trip of my whole entire life! well. i don't want to jinx it lmao but #today i popped TWO TIRES at once in the middle of the Katy Freeway in Houston TX (the widest highway in the US; 26 lanes btw)#managed to make it over to the shoulder without DYING but then had to sit there for like an hour? and panic called a tow truck because duh #I know how to change a tire but I was – again – sitting on the shoulder of the widest freeway on the continent so #anyway I called a tow; a guy showed up. I assumed it was the tow! turned out it was not. but he helped me put on the spare and then was lik #“follow me to my shop I can do the tires for you” and I was like okay! 👍 but then the ACTUAL tow called me and I realized this was #just a random guy (very nice up to that point but then I got scared about following him to a secondary location?) and so I didn't lmao #I just kept driving and didn't follow him but the guy on the phone was then mad at me because I wasn't where I said I would be because #AGAIN – I thought the original guy WAS the tow company that I called? but anyway guy 2 on the phone was like “YOU OWE ME $200!!!!”#and I said for what? also how would I pay you? and he tried to get me to cash app him lmao?? I didn't. I hung up on him #he called me like 6 more times yelling at me until I finally just blocked his number 💀#however NOW at this point I'm driving on one spare tire and one rapidly-flattening second tire and I still have 3 hours left to get where #I was going for the night and to top it all off I'm in the middle of a city I've only been to one time before? so I manage to get to a hote #like a nice-ish one where I'm like “okay if I get stuck here this won't be the end of the world”#because keep in mind today is a national holiday so basically everything is closed!!!! btw!!!!!#but eventually I'm sitting there and it's literally 100F outside and I remember oh right lol I have car insurance which pays for a tow #(a normal one; not a random one I panic-found on google who calls me screaming at me to cash app him $200)#so anyway I call my insurance and the guy on the phone is very nice and is like “it's okay; we'll have someone to you in 45 min”#and I'm like okay. OKAY. 🙌💪 I am a strong independent woman who is figuring this out and no longer on the side of the highway #but instead in a nice calm neighborhood and all I have to do is wait 45 min and everything will be okay #one hour goes by. I call back. get redirected to the tow company that was dispatched. guy says oh! is my guy not there yet?#I say no. he says okay – I'll have him call you. hangs up.#okay. 20 more min go by. guy finally calls me. says “I'm 20-25 min away” at this point I've been waiting about an hour and a half #I say. okay? okay. 30 more minutes go by. I try to call the guy back. straight to voicemail. three more calls. three more no answers.#I call my insurance back. sit on hold for 15 min. eventually get put through to a different person who's like “okay let me check on him”#get put on hold. eventually she comes back and says “okay he says 15 minutes” I've been waiting over 2 hours at this point. I have to PEE #I just... burst into tears. on the phone with this poor random woman from Geico Insurance. I'm bawling my eyes out.#she was trying to get claim info from me but I'm crying so hard she's like “oh baby no. okay. okay. we can get that from you tomorrow.”#when you cry so hard that even the insurance company is like “you know what we're just going to let this one slide”#anyway guy eventually shows up. he's very nice even though I hate him a little for being so late. he drives me to an OPEN TIRE SHOP

forgot my mom doesn't know abt my past partners so when I told her abt my boyfriend she was like "well, you know first relationships aren't perfect, it's how you learn what you're looking for" yea 👍

#jay says a thing #like no yeah 100% agree #were it not 4 my exes i never would've gone after my bf cos id still be under the illusion that i wanted someone to be my everything #instead of wanting someone to just like. hang out with. talk about anything with. sit in silence and play separate video games side by side #and like yeah hes important 2 me and i love him so much but its not that over the top obsession that my past relationships were #its comfortable. its mutual. i dont have to pretend to be perfect or gentlemanly around him.#anyways <3 yaaay now. i have 2 tell. my father.#hes a wildcard i have NO idea how he'll react

Mass Effect: Andromeda - That time where Sara Ryder became an adopted mom to a Fiend 🤔🤣😉

This is the Elaaden mission where you're supposed to "tame" a Fiend by setting a smoke lure. It draws a Fiend and you fight it but instead of it dying, it's supposed to sit down by the smoke and ignore you after that. This Fiend, though, really wanted some Pathfinder skritchies and cuddles and followed Sara all of the way back to the NOMAD.

And then... Okay, please imagine the hysterical laughter I gave at the NOMAD part. You've got to see that for yourself, lol!

Sorry, as usual, for the lack of nice editing. This is the raw footage since I still have no Vegas to work with. I initially just wanted to capture how the Fiend was weirdly following Sara around and then it became one of my favorite moments so far in my over 600 hours in this game! 😍🤣

I seriously wish Sara could've kept her Fiend pal and brought him back to the Tempest to hang out in her quarters with her hamster and Pyjak, lol!

I love Vetra at the end of that clip, commenting about the crazy rock formations as if we hadn't just had a FIEND sitting on top of the NOMAD, lol! 🤣🤣🤣

Love you, FiFi, I'll never forget you, bud! 🤗🤗🤗

#mass effect andromeda #mass effect: andromeda #fiend #elaaden #elaaden fiend #sara ryder #pathfinder ryder #is now mom to a fiend #she loves all of her big and little children #the nomad #needs a fiend riding majestically on top of it i'd say #i mean c'mon how AWESOME would we look pulling up with a fiend just chillin' on the roof right?#pretty sure most of the bad guys would leave us alone when we rolled up like that!#i was really curious as to how long he'd follow but i think he hit a boundary #instead of despawning though it sent him back to the point where he spawns in #i'm glad he didn't just vanish #i like to imagine he's still sitting there to this day #just chillin' and waiting for his pathfinder mom to come back and pick him up lol #(yeah i know where the fiend actually goes and you fight him later 😭but that's NOT fifi that's clearly some other fiend)#*nodnods in leave me to my delusion i've been sick*#😉#ageless aislynn #this is my game tag

its quite something when ur psychosomatic pain is so intense u think ure about to die in the subway. especially when ure alone and its night and u still got an hour to go until ure home and can start pain management. it humbles u.

#last night was easily top 5 pain ive ever felt lol and its shit when i cant get home quickly to lie down #instead i just had to sit with it and pretend like im a normal subway passenger whos definitely not about to cry and or throw up from pain #👍👍👍#sucks especially bc i had such a good day it was so fun and i actually enjoyed meeting new people and talking and yeah #probably bc i didn't eat properly + sat on the ground for hours + it was quite cold at the end . body said fuck u for all that bitch #couldnt even finish my döner when it started im so mad that was such a good döner

Someday I want to write an actual LeoIchi centric fic. Somedayyyy somedayyyyyy

#like I have several ideas #so many #but the one sitting at the top of my list rn?#some kind of underground fighter Yuichi (he’s doing it for fun)#((and maybe for cash idk but nothing like oh I’m dark and angsty just him doing this cause he can and to get stronger))#and Leo is the medic/doctor that patches up the fighters #I’ll say now they’d be like early 20’s here probably #21-23 or somethin #anyway #Leo confused why Usagi is there bc he’s nice and funny (and cute)#and Usagi like ‘no one can keep up with me except my friend Chizu but she’s not always home and I like having money to go on trips etc’#and Leo like ‘okay bet fight me then’#idk it’s a whole thing where the fighting starts to get worse #dicey #and Leo is worried especially about Usagi #but he can’t leave for reasons idk #he just has to get stronger instead #there’d be some kind of corruption and Leo has to shed the doctor coat to be a hero again #but only bc he wants to help this dude he’s falling for #so many words from me #someday I’ll do it #leoichi

i wonder just how many times i’ve seemed really annoying just for it to be me having adhd

#i have one memory from a couple years ago of me needing to go into my brothers room and tell him dinner’s ready #and instead of doing that super simple task i was just stuck sitting outside his room out of sheer terror #because any time i’d do something like telling him dinner’s ready i’d always get a slightly disgruntled or snarky kind of response #and it’d always make me leave his room all upset #and so i just. sat at the top of the stairs outside his room until i think my mom came up there and got upset at me #and did the whole threatening countdown thing until i did it #and me being forced into going into his room to talk to him definitely made the experience worse for everyone #and i still do not enjoy actually going into people’s rooms to tell them dinner’s ready #but like. in the moment i probably just seemed like a little brat not wanting to do a simple task #but i was (and still am) just sensitive 😭😭#i have to deal with rsd no matter what and i’ve come to accept that #but it’s still only natural for me to have tried to avoid situations where i’d leave feeling like i’ve been stabbed in the chest with how #much mental pain i end up in #anyways that’s enough oversharing for the month #me.txt

i am BEGGING restaurants to stop putting cheese and garlic on LITERALLY EVERYTHING EVER

#LITERALLY TWO OF MY WORST FOODS AS AN AUTISTIC PERSON #sob sob #i'm going out for lunch with my family tomorrow #and we're going to this place that my sister suggested #and she's like ''oh yeah the food there is so good''#and the menu is. literally THE most unfriendly to my flavour of 'tism #one time my sister took me to a restaurant on a whim and i was happy to go because i trusted her #but i looked at the menu (after sitting down) and nearly had a panic attack #and no i can't ask for anything to get removed because whenever i do it's like a 50/50 for if it actually gets removed #and then i feel like an asshole asking for them to fix it #because i don't want them to think that i'm just an annoying picky eater #bc i've already asked once #for example this place does a chili but they put cheese on it (there is no menu variant without cheese)#but like previously mentioned cheese is no bueno para mi #like i can sometimes have it but only in very specific circumstances #and cheese on top of chili is NOT it #i love chili though #but if it arrives with cheese then i can't just scoop it off. it's already been Contaminated #one time i ordered fish and chips with garden peas and they gave me mushy peas instead and i can't eat that #so i sent it back and they came back a few seconds later with the majority of the mushy peas scraped off #but it still had the residue all over the fish and the chips #and i can't eat that!!!!!#and then because it was a pub and not a restaurant i had to stand awkwardly at the bar trying to get someone's attention #it was awful #anyway i should make a vent tag #shapes.vent

If you make a game where 99.9% of the game revolves around 1 (one) kind of thing being loaded in. And you decide that you are going to take your chances and not load it in when you can't see it. Every single player with slow internet (which won't load the thing they need to use. Because it isn't loaded in. Because you wanted to improve performance for those with poor internet) is going to stab you in the guts

#id MUCH rather spend 2 minutes loading in everything and having that completely necessary stuff loaded.#then have to sit and wait half an hour at an unloaded area. because my internet just decided to crap the bed #especially because i just fuckin KNOW that it was a feature to 'improve performance on lower end devices'#devices which are basically useless now because #they cannot actually load the thing that needs to be loaded #like. not loading that thing just means you're delaying loading it to the point when the user will #1) NEED that thing to be loaded and 2) CANT load things #instead of just. having it all loaded from the get go #especially when its extremely simple stuff #and the optimisations are just there to reach 450 FPS for the top end instead of 449FPS

i've been really struggling the last few days with just... doing shit. getting up to go to the toilet. reaching beside me to take a drink of water. eating when i'm hungry. figuring out if i'm hungry/thirsty/in need of anything else particular. i want to tidy the house because it really fucking needs it. i want to fold clothes because i need to find them. i want to be in a space that's pleasant to be in. i want to eat. i want to go out in the fresh air. i want to read any one of my unfinished or unstarted books. i want to play a videogame. i want to reply to rp. i don't. i sit. i stare at the screen. i feel my brain oozing sluggishly. i might be getting a headache. i don't move. i don't look away from the screen except to stare at the wall. i think about all the things i want to do. i think about all the things i should be doing. i don't feel any particular emotion. my stomach growls. i think about getting a snack. i scroll another six posts on tumblr. i stare at the wall. i haven't opened my mouth or made a sound in an hour, two hours, more. i want to play my ukulele. i want to listen to music. i want to watch a movie. i stare. i sit. i lose thoughts halfway through having them. i forget birthdays. i forget plans made two days ago. i forget to make myself a snack. i forget to talk to my friends. i forget promises i've made. i forget who i owe rp replies to. i forget due dates. i sit i sit i sit i sit i sit.

sometimes i get really sick of me.

#AND I'M NOT EVEN LIKE. DOING BAD AT THE MOMENT #work is fucking exhausting #but i've basically finished uni #i have a holiday coming up #i'm on top of things for the most part!!!!#i got decent sleep last night. i've been doing stuff with my friends. i've been getting exercise.#and yet and still and unfortunately. i sit #like i say a lot of stuff off handedly about almost definitely having undx adhd #and looking through old school reports recently. yeah. lmao.#lizzy is poorly organised lizzy doesn't hand things in lizzy always seems distracted #lizzy took a textbook home and forgot to bring it back for weeks #lizzy is a pleasure to have in class for like four specific classes and lizzy is not living up to her potential in all the others #i can't move i can't relax i waste so much TIME #and yes. i am making this post instead of doing literally anything useful. thank you #raargh
