shakespeare snobs still aren't ready for this conversation but revenge of the sith is the closest western media has to a modern equivalent of a shakespearean tragedy
- entertainment created for mass appeal
- effectively utilizes comic relief despite overall serious tone and/or subject matter
- the audience knows it's a tragedy going in
- utilizes, as shakespeare did, the elements of the greek tragedies which came before him, ie:
- the tragic hero is virtuous but for a fatal flaw
- the audience fears for and roots for the hero despite said flaw and their knowledge that the story is a tragedy
- in his attempts to escape his destiny, the hero unknowingly runs toward it, even brings it about himself
- it's entertainment for the masses even though the masses know it's a tragedy before it even starts

Oh oh if we're feeding Grian, I'd like to offer him a White Person Taco. (Don't want it to he too spicy for him!!!)
-Lunar (a white person who also can't handle spice)
omg right he's british he cannot handle spice ADJGKADJGK
i imagine Watchers can spawn food bc they know how it's made, like, every single component, i think if they offered him a taco he'd be genuinely impressed, like, its so much to remember.
he's also a bit iffy about the meat.

Sorry actually its been long enough now I need you all to see the shit that made me have a breakdown earlier this month because it's so. Twitter furry drama is so insular and chronically online and america centric it drives me nuts. never ever draw supermarkets as furries guys its not worth it bc holy fuck
FOR THE MOST PART people were enjoying this esp british people but i genuinely lost mutuals & had people attack me for 'bootlicking corporations' and giving 'free advertising' for uh checks notes. drawing all the major british supermarkets as furries. Half the people didnt even know they were british supermarkets. so many people kept asking me to draw american supermarkets. NONE of the people like the person above were british or had any real sense of our comedy culture and how much we clown on this kind of thing anyway. it was possibly a poor choice of timing of me to coincide this with the drama around people drawing the target dog as a furry (because its...... supporting the company and free advertising, apparently.) anyway. british people on my tumblr im sure u understand how nuts this is. 'free advertising for some shitty company' im sorry ig ill just not shop anywhere for my food then lest i support a big evil company 🤷♂️ no food for me 😊 jesus christ. i cant think of a single person whod be swayed to shop at a different supermarket because some random on the internet gave it a slightly better fursona. except maybe m&s given how viscerally down bad everyone was for her.
god forbid british people joke about they supermarkets and the stereotypes surrounding them.. it was complete satire anyway in reference to all those anthro/personifications people used to do of products/companies, this isnt even my normal style!! oh but if you try to explain yourself it apparently makes it 1000x worse and makes people feel entitled to openly and directly attack you. the random ass hollow but disgusting rape and death threat i got in dms was nicer than the way people on twitter treat someone if their posts blows up. 0 compassion or thought that the person at the other end did not expect nor want this to happen.
+ the posts stats so u can see what i was up against 🧍♂️ (I locked my acc for a few days and turned off replies otherwise it would've kept going for sure) jeeesus christ
i cant even bring myself to keep reblogs on here for fear of this spreading further than this account 🧍♂️ LMAO

The lady on the phone at the doctors was talking about emergency contacts and she was like "yes we have your husband's number on file, so we're okay to contact him?"
Like excuse me, WHO?? oh, yeah, right.

btw listen i hate dream and all the weirdo shit he's behind but even that isnt enough to get me to make fun of someone's appearance. on the scale of dehumanizing things you can say to/about someone, to me it's only a step above misgendering someone because you dont like them
