people debate about whether wojaks carry fascism within them inherently or not, and yknow, maybe there's something to be said about how symbols work etc, and then you see a communist make a meme that features the one that's drooling with a dent in his head to represent someone who is incorrect, and you just kind of take a pause and ask yourself what the fuck is wrong with everybody

And so it shall be that we march beyond the end of the world

i guess this is why she doesn't want to sit next to pantalone and dottore

[lightdrizzel]

it's fucking me up how tv shows, movies, and even video games can't be "niche" content anymore

[lightdrizzel]

like nothing can be underrated anymore. it HAS to be a success. cartoons have to either be spongebob level successes with immediate marketing or they're shelved a season or two in.

Movies have such inflated budgets that they NEED to break a billion in the box office just to make back what they cost. Anything less than a blockbuster smash is turned into a tax write-off.

a single triple A video game can destroy an entire studio if it doesn't meet expectations, which are already lofty enough as it is.

and everything has to appeal to the widest demographic possible, which can mean sterilizing anything creative about the work so it becomes as palatable as possible.

idk im just sad about this

The Clarifier would like to make just one more comment

[lustcannibalism]

you guys can’t fucking do anything

[carosbee]

No creativity no innovation no nothing. Just dead minds where a living organ once sat, torn out in pieces by an unfeeling machine in the name of shares.

here's my piece for @yatagarasuzine :) had a wonderful time working on this one, i even got to sit through a few movies while painting it.

Remember the zine is free to download, so please go check out everyone's lovely contributions! <3

narumitsu day?

[persephoneme]

you can't say "hey has anyone noticed that M/M fic outnumbers F/F like 100:1” or “it feels racist that only 3/202 characters on the ao3 top 100 ships list are Black and two of them are Alastor HazbinHotel” bc some ppl will start going like “oh so you think we should FORCE people to write about things they DON’T CARE ABOUT for WOKE????” and you’ll be like “no, i’m pointing out that the conditions that created this disparity are informed by racism & misogyny” and ppl will say “it’s not BIGOTED to only care about WHITE MEN” and then the gargoyle king appears

reblog if the first musical you listened to was not Hamilton

[joecrow]

CAROUSEL, if I’m not mistaken. Dang, that was a while ago.

[earhartsease]

all we remember from Carousel is "I ain't skeered!" but we remember loving it

[mundane-theron-sca-etienne]

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the first I really remember, but my dad was a high school choir teacher, and I know I was present when he put on productions of Little Abner, Bye Bye Birdie, and South Pacific when I was wee.

[victusinveritas]

Jesus Christ Superstar when I was like 6. Saw it on video and then live with Ted Neely and Carl Anderson (RIP, you'll always be Judas), front row seats because my folks knew someone at the theater. South Pacific was probably next, but maybe Les Mis.

[littlethingwithfeathers]

Jekyll and Hyde. The original tour, not the Hasselhoff version. The first I ever saw on Broadway proper was Ragtime.

[notatzimisce]

I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.

[freakoutgirl]

one of my fears is that i'll be 7 hours down my dash reblogging things not knowing that, like, the end of the world is happening. everyone is posting shit like FUCK THE MARTIANS HAVE TOUCHED DOWN IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA meanwhile i'm like here's a picture of snoopy :-)

[nateconnolly]

Majoring in creative writing was a colossal mistake that ruined my life financially artistically socially and spiritually BUT i got to read aloud from My Immortal to a crowd of twenty horrified bystanders for academic credit. So I broke even

[nateconnolly]

The assignment was to bring a story written by someone else and share the first paragraph with the class. Nowhere in the assignment description or the syllabus did it specify that the story had to be good
