dante's inferno is literally self-insert fanfiction where he stole a bunch of shit from other mythologies to fill in his descriptions of hell. and it fucking sucks! i don't read fanfic (that's why i'm so mad i got tricked into reading that dogshit) but there's probably some fanfic out there that's better written just because homeboy set the bar so fucking LOW that some 19-year-old tripped over it writing about dr who fucking a homestuck or w/e. get better taste please.

cringe culture or whatever lowered the bar for pretentiousness to the ground someone will say i dont watch children's cartoons and get called pretentious and that's why there's those posts about like bringing being pretentious back because now "pretentious" just means thinking dante's inferno is better than fanfiction. this isn't a critique btw i think my mutuals who are like "im pretentious now" rock

But it was from the difference between us, not from the affinities and likeness, but from the difference, that love came: and it was itself the bridge, the only bridge, across what divided us. For us to meet sexually would be for us to meet once more as aliens. We had touched, in the only way we could touch. We left it at that. I do not know if we were right.

Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

I will say I’m considerably less of a cynic & hater about poetry as a whole than op of that post like I love a lot of poetry & find their attitude on their blog a bit obnoxious however. it’s time you learned the butter cannot be unchurned is one of the funniest sentences I’ve read in a long time

[importantandunavoidable]

at this point ive been on tumblr so long surrounded by so many people with such bad taste that frankly im not sure good poetry can even exist in theory

my working manifesto for theatre practice (made in conjunction with my partner who is a director):

no director or artistic director pre-show speeches

no bows

no bios (unless satirical). if crediting artists, names next to their positions/roles suffice

programs as in-universe textual objects. 1-2 pages max

sponsors and donors can be listed on a separate textual document from the program. “the advertisement booklet” since we have to eat

summaries of plays are 1-2 sentences max

promotional photos are never taken inside the theatre/playing space
