flying into somthing so sublime @hazeleyes-hazelgrace - Tumblr Blog

tumblr isn’t a social media it’s a farmers market and the people you follow are the vendors and your mutuals are regulars and sometimes a person I buy pumpkins from will start selling realistic models of sailboats and damn i’m not gonna buy any but I will come by and compliment you on your sailboats

I’m not speaking to you through mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; as if we’d pass through the grave and stood at God’s feet equal – as we are.

Jane Eyre (2011) dir. Cary Joji Fukunaga

obviously this is an extremely bizarre tweet that got ratioed to hell and back, but it’s also hilarious that of all the authors in the entire English literary canon, she somehow landed on Shakespeare as the epitome of cisnormative writing.

like ma’am shakespeare’s characters go on stage and announce their gender to the audience within the first few lines in nearly every play. Including…you know….the very play you reference???

Some fun additions to this thread

everybody who has ever read Shakespeare is currently in that thread like:

AS YOU LIKE IT

everyone always cites Twelfth Night as peak Shakespearean Gender Fuckery but I dare anyone to look Rosalind from As You Like It in the eye and not acknowledge her as the most gender-fucking lead in Shakespeare’s entire bibliography.

Celia: “we must flee in disguise, so I shall be a demure country maid!”

Rosalind: “that sounds super rad, imma be a twink and name myself after the twinkiest twink that ever twinked!”

Celia: “that tracks”

Rosalind: “And then I’m gonna meet up with the guy I think is cute and help him practice flirting by pretending to be a twink pretending to be a girl (Aka me) and I’m going to be so incredibly normal about this.”

William Shakespeare, visibly vibrating: Imagine a hot boy who is also a hot girl. Just imagine that. Are you imagining it yet? OK now imagine another one

also given all the actors in 16th century england had to be guys as a matter of law, i think stating in the dialogue what gender you were trying to portray was kind of very relevant in shakespeare's context specifically

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it
