will never forget how percy was at camp halfblood and everyone in the room was dyslexic and knew he was dyslexic and they still made this boy read out the great prophecy in front of the whole class, a prophecy that at least two people in the room knew by heart, and they let him stand there and say "a half-blood of the eldest dogs." they set him up so bad.
i am once again asking you to watch the 2019 shakespeare in the park production of much ado about nothing
oh shit that is glorious
Oh fabulous. I was unaware of it and now I need to find out if there’s a recording I can watch.
YES! The camera work in the clip above made me wonder if it was from a professionally filmed performance and in fact there’s a Great Performances version up on archive.org:

BENEDICK If Signior Leonato be her father, she would
not have his head on her shoulders for all Messina,
as like him as she is.
BEATRICE I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior
BeneDICK, nobody marks you.
BENEDICK What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet
living?
BEATRICE Is it possible disdain should die while she
hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
Courtesy itself must convert to disdain if you come
in her presence.
BENEDICK Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain
I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted; and
I would I could find in my heart that I had not a
hard heart, for truly I love none.
BEATRICE A dear happiness to women. They would
else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I
thank God and my cold blood I am of your humor
for that. I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow
than a man swear he loves me.
BENEDICK God keep your Ladyship still in that mind,
so some gentleman or other shall ’scape a predestinate
scratched face.
BEATRICE Scratching could not make it worse an
’twere such a face as yours were.
Act 1, Scene 1
Always reblog. :)
Can you imagine if you were a smuggler on the black market, unloading your evil wares on Mandalore, and then the freaking Duchess of Mandalore herself shows up to arrest you personally??????
Also, right behind her is..... the former Queen of Naboo?????????
Big "you want something done right, do it yourself" energy
in 7 years its going to be the 20s again so we can bring back swing music and the aesthetics of that era but keep modern values who’s with me
you can’t repeat the past
can’t repeat the past? why, of course you can! of course you can.
date of origin: 19th of may, 2013.
this is my post. do you know how it feels to have this be your post? do you understand the guilt i have to live with knowing this is my post? the weight on my soul as the decade popped into prominence with spanish flu … 2 !
do you know how it feels, heritageposts? are any of these heritage posts your own or are you just a curator of human misery? do you know how it feels to live knowing that of anything i’ve ever made, anything i’ve ever said, this has been seen by most people, and this will probably remain the case until i die? for this to be my legacy? can you relate? can you empathize?
but do you want to know the worst part? the absolute worst part of all of this?
we haven’t even brought back art deco into mainstream prominence. sickening
Happy ten years to this post
in 7 years its going to be the 30s again so we can bring back (the great) depression and unemployment and poverty and … never mind.
I think we all might be sleeping on the absolutely unhinged and bitter dynamic that would have resulted between Padme and Qui-Gon had Qui survived. Like picture Qui-Gon “We didn’t come to free slaves” Jinn and Padme “Slavery and exploitation can and will die in a hole if I have anything to say about it” Amidala having interaction during the Clone Wars. I feel like they would alternately get along like a house on fire and be at each other’s throats. Not to mention the whole Anakin dynamic! Qui be like oh hey I can free this child to save the galaxy and Padme is like I can free this child because it’s the Right Thing, and you CANNOT tell me they wouldn’t clash over Anakin constantly, especially after Padme and Anakin get married.
All I’m saying is that Padme and Qui are two characters that are absolutely certain at any given moment that they are Right and everyone else is just Wrong, and I really, really, really want to watch them snipe at each other. Sprinkle in some conflicted “this is the nice old guy who saved my life when I was fourteen” into Padme’s feelings toward him and some “weirdly enough I still feel responsible for this bratty queen/senator” into Qui AND YOU REALLY HAVE SOMETHING.
(This all brought to you by I Wrote a Fic, it’s the Accidental Sith AU pinned on my dash).
it does seem like a funny dynamic, but also this ^
Use the sword and shield maneuver!
What does that mean?
We block, he fires!
I love how in “sword and shield maneuver” the people with the swords are the shield and the person who is the sword just has a gun
Can we take a moment to notice this little gem from one of those gifs.
Rex advocated for calling it the “sword and more sword” maneuver but Cody overruled him
man call me crazy or whatever but i'm not very thrilled with the fact that the takeaway that all of y'all are getting from the titanic submarine crisis happening right now is
"People able to spend exorbitantly for some tourist trip thing deserve to die a horrific and torturous death via suffocation after spending 96 hours in mounting dread and awareness of that oncoming reality, all inside a 20 foot long windowless iron casket lost at sea"
and how it isn't
"There is no way in fucking hell that it should be legal to take people into such high-risk environments with zero regulations and shoddy work which almost certainly factored if not is the cause of this crisis to begin with, and the problem isn't that people will spend lots of money on dumb shit, it's that there are companies allowed to prey on that with no oversight"
"you can't pick and choose what you like from canon" common misconception! yes you can
but please do not get this very true concept confused with “you cannot pick and choose what is canon”
they are two very different things.
thank you for this addition seriously
it’s horrific. awful way to die. either you’re trapped with no chance of being found, air running out, everyone around you suffocating, or the hull is broken and you get turned to jelly by the crushing ocean depths. ik they’re billionaires so it’s very contentious for me. generally i prefer no one dies horrifically. like just as a fellow human being on earth. but i dont think the ultra rich ever extend that mindset to others. climate refugees. and just everything. it feels like something a greek god would do to punish them.
it has a certain swagful je ne sais quoi if removed from the human suffering which billionaires have to do philosophically to maintain their positions. very haunting. the hubris of it all. old jalopy metal tube steered by a mad catz controller. to go look at the titanic. which is nothing but a rusted out metal wreck full of fish and silt. btw. the grandiosity of it is completely unrecognizable. one has to wonder what compels ppl to even look at it in the first place. like the prestige of seeing some filthy grown over shell? crazy thing to die for. very textually rich… bad way to die as a human being. great way to die as a narrative about human greed and folly i guess. good job. mission accomplished?
and here i was, thinking tumblr became the new twitter
i know there is this common mindset, that all rich people are assholes, but for gods sake, they are still human. so thank you person who reblogged this with the tags. you restored my faith in humanity at least a little bit on this hell site.
It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
On my campus there tends to be a problem where even I you have the doctors note professors will still take points off of your final grade regardless of how sick you are. I’ve seen people show up to class with the stomach flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections and all sorts of other contagious ailments.
Here’s a fun story:
The school system I grew up in put an absolutely ungodly amount of pressure on kids to Show Up Every Day No Matter What. Many schools are like this, but looking back, my town’s was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didn’t just “postpone” a surgery at one point— when I was fifteen— to give you an idea of how monumentally obtuse these people were.
So, in elementary school, I started having chicken pox symptoms, right? They were mild because I was vaccinated (yay!) but my mom recognized them quickly and took me to the doctor, because my mom is a reasonable human being with standards. The doctor said “yup, you’ve got those pox, it may seem mild but please for the love of god DO NOT take her to school, she is very contagious even though she may FEEL okay.”
So I had to stay home from school until I got clearance from my doctor to go back. I was an angry little gremlin the whole time, because I wanted to go to the school library and read books about the human skull, but my mother said, “no, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.” So I sat at home and tried not to scratch the bumps, like a good little gremlin.
A few days into my Chicken Pox Related House Arrest, we got a letter from the school. I was far from the only person with chicken pox, as it so happened. Like… a tenth of my second grade class had Confirmed Pox. We all fell ill within DAYS of each other.
So how did this happen, you ask? Well, a kid had chicken pox, and he came to school anyway. “Ah, well perhaps they didn’t know,” you may very well say. “Maybe his parents didn’t notice!” No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.
The kid’s parents…….. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didn’t want to risk hurting his precious “perfect attendance” record. They figured that since he wasn’t, like, Literally Dying, it was better for him not to miss school. Never mind the fact that they were actively endangering hundreds of little kids.
Fast forward to my freshman year of college. A kid came to class with mumps because he ‘couldn’t afford to miss’. Guess what happened? Mumps outbreak! Diseases are, as it turns out, good at being diseases! Vaccinations are phenomenal, but they can only do so much, and some people rely on herd immunity to not be killed by preventable illness.
This entire attitude needs to die. It’s dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because they’re afraid of flunking out.
And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! It’s 2019 and we’re flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like “actually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless america”
Many kids at my school will show up really sick because we only get like three days of excused absences without a doctor’s note.
this is what those in literary academia call “foreshadowing”
