Male creators like Jack Thorne and JJ Abrams really out here expecting me to take their Voldemort’s Daughter OCs seriously like this is fanfiction.net in 2003 and they dont know why the prepz are flaming them

i think part of the reason why i love disney’s hercules so much is that the idea of a sassy hades resounds so deeply with me as a person who has siblings. like imagine if you were rich as fuck and had to live in what’s basically the flooded basement of the entire world while your brothers fart around banging everything in sight. if i had to live in a literal swamp and listen to stories about poseidon turning into a horse to get sexy with demeter i’d probably have no fucking patience too

[thoodleoo]

zeus: hey assfuck have you seen demeter’s kid

Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1160 – c. 1220) explaining the importance of understanding that all creative work is inherently derivative once you study the oral tradition of storytelling and history and that’s okay because generations have always reformatted tropes and themes to make them relatable to their current audiences

fanfiction is so wild cause im like…..ugh im not in the mood to read a book…..i’ll just read an 82k word fic instead……

[brawltogethernow]

Look…. To start a book… You have to make room in yourself for new characters and worlds. Do I look like I have the emotional energy for that? Do I look like I can trust like that right now? Just show me the things I already know pay good returns on my investment, except I also want to read something new so I guess they can be in a coffee shop this time.

[justgot1]

This - this is it, you’ve put it into words

[thoodleoo]

when you’re reading a piece of scholarship so terrible that you can’t even be bothered to pull up the sources to refute it

[residentgayfriend]

so my english teacher put up new posters in her class and

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

this is the exact energy that i strive for 

[nyctosaurid]

the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised 

[fromthemindofatwentyorotherlycan]

Except given the connotations of coke when it was written, the most accurate addaptation would be COmmunity College english professor who wears tweed that double-barrels 5-hour energy when he needs to think.

I was watching Hercules and that movie basically Superman so I drew some doodles because I also love Clois

Let the world we dream about be the one we live in now!

CONGRATULATIONS to HADESTOWN: THE MYTH. THE MUSICAL for winning EIGHT TONY AWARDS in the TONY AWARDS 2019!

[bootstight-gunclose-maskon]

Do you ever think about what it would have been like to be one of Jonathan Crane’s students. Halfway through the semester this teacher who’s racked up a million student complaints for being such an ass just becomes a supervillain without grading your fucking midterms.

[bellamynochillblake]

So I found the letter that the Animorphs author and trans ally K. A. Applegate wrote after the series ended and I’m FLOORED

I mean

[frenchroasted]

You want something even crazier? Animorphs ended in May 2001.  She didn’t know what was coming, but damn if she didn’t give her readers a much needed dose of reality about the horrors of war right before we were really going to need it.

[dungeonsdonuts-deactivated20200]

Of all the YA fiction I read as a kid, Animorphs left the biggest impact. It’s ending was a big part of it.
