funniest part of posting all these homestuck book annotation quotes is people being so surprised that hussie like… understands their own story. lmao

i love the way crowley exerts so much extra effort to find workarounds for having to do his job and also sets up all these rakes and steps on them later with his low-grade hellish malaise schemes and the upshot of that is he should get really into rube goldberg machines. literally sarah and i were talking this through at 4am because imagine if the season opened with like. a stylistic whimsical worms eye view of the bookshop as a complicated machine goes off and flips spoons and drops books and shuffles cards etc etc and at the end you hear a door buzzer sound and pan over to aziraphale looking up with an annoyed expression and muttering that he told crowley he didnt need a doorbell. (its nude gabriel out there) and perhaps also as the switches flip we get symbols and cards and text built into the machine that quickly summarizes the events of the first season to bring viewers up to speed. lil ball bearings but its the three-baby-shuffle from ep1x01. you're telling me that wouldn't be charming as hell. where's the fun.

Spelling was not standardized in Shakespeare's England

yes this is my point. william "sex jokes" "historical RPF" shakespeare is broadly upheld as the pinnacle of english literature, and zero percent of his works conform to any standardized spelling/grammar system

"shakespeare couldn't spell his own name" is shorthand for "the snobbery of ~english literature & canon~ is both self-contradictory and arbitrary in the extreme." & to me this means that anyone can create whatever they want and be just as good as any shakespearean sonnet. bc the only real qualifier for "good writing" is that somebody cared about the story they were telling, and the only real qualifier for "good reading material" is that someone, somewhere, wants to read it

no gods no kings no earl of oxford only a bunch of plays written in a drama club's groupchat and the people who keep investing them with meaning. there is no magic formula or golden standard. the only thing that gives any art any value is the people who choose to value it

I think more games should add arbitrary pronoun selection just to weed out any negative reviews written by rubes.

Just imagined gently pressing my senior colleague's face to my breasts, him taking a few steady breaths and eyes fluttering shut before he kisses them through my clothes

I think I need to lie down

Tw: Discussions of death in the least serious of ways

I'm tired of Truck-kun tbh. We need spicier ways to Isekai protagonists. I think that it's a shame that no one ever dies in interesting ways in Isekai's.

How about a terminal illness, a career injury, suicide, cardiac arrest, overdose, gun violence?

How about we say fuck it and kill someone via a Rube Goldberg Machine!? Like fuck whatever your plot is, if you make a Rube Goldberg Machine- that makes sense in universe - to kill of your protag with, I will stick with your story to the end just to see what kind of crazy shit you can come up with to top that.

Because, I see the vision, I see the insanity and I fully encourage you to confuse me on purpose.

I get coming in to a role that was made by someone else is difficult, but the woman who came in and played Daisy in the movie is Not Great.

Once a piece ive submitted hits 7 or 8 weeks pending I start getting so antsy and it makes me not want to submit it anywhere else until *that one place* gets back to me

[dementedfilament]

Okay, chapter 3 has changed and there is a lot happening now

me hanging up after having a long, introspective and vulnerable conversation: well... time for the emotional hangover.
