Where has this been when I needed it???
You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it
I feel attacked
It happens this year folks…
I am 100% convinced that “exit, pursued by a bear” is a reference to some popular 1590s meme that we’ll never be able to understand because that one play is the only surviving example of it.
Seriously, we’ll never figure it out. I’ll wager trying to understand “exit, pursued by a bear” with the text of The Winter’s Tale as our primary source is like trying to understand loss.jpg when all you have access to is a single overcompressed JPEG of a third-generation memetic mutation that mashes it up with YMCA and “gun” - there’s this whole twitching Frankensteinian mass of cultural context we just don’t have any way of getting at.
no, but this is why people do the boring archival work! because we think we do know why “exit, pursued by a bear” exists, now, and we figured it out by looking at ships manifests of the era -
it’s also why there was a revival of the unattributed and at the time probably rather out of fashion mucedorus at the globe in 1610 (the same year as the winter’s tale), and why ben jonson wrote a chariot pulled by bears into his court masque oberon, performed on new year’s day of 1611.
we think the answer is polar bears.
no, seriously! in late 1609 the explorer jonas poole captured two polar bear cubs in greenland and brought them home to england, where they were purchased by the beargarden, the go-to place in elizabethan london for bear-baiting and other ‘animal sports.’ it was at the time run by edward alleyn (yes, the actor) and his father-in-law philip henslowe (him of the admiral’s men and that diary we are all so very grateful for), and would have been very close, if not next to, the globe theatre.
of course, polar bear cubs are too little and adorable for baiting, even to the bloodthirsty tudor audience, aren’t they? so, what to do with the little bundles of fur until they’re too big to be harmless? well, if there’s anything we know about the playwrights and theatre professionals of the time, it’s that they knew how to make money and draw in audiences. and the spectacle of a too-small-to-be-dangerous-yet-but-still-real-live-and-totally-WHITE-bear? what good entertainment businessman is going to turn down that opportunity?
and, voila, we have a death-by-bear for the unfortunate antigonus, thereby freeing up paulina to be coupled off with camillo in the final scene, just as the comedic conventions of the time would expect.
you’re telling me it was an ACTUAL BEAR
every time I think to myself “history can’t possibly get any more bananas” I realize or am made to realize that I am badly mistaken
Not just an actual bear. A polar bear cub.
Imagine a fully grown man running offstage to be “killed” by a baby polar bear.
exit, pursued by bear. i.e. THE BEST STAGE DIRECTION OF ALL FUCKING TIME
if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.
Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again
And if “don’t be rude to teenagers over a stupid jawbreaker” isn’t enough for you, consider
You can’t tell how old a kid is just by looking. I’ve known multiple 5th graders who were taller than I am, and I’m 25 years old. With their faces hidden by masks, you won’t be able to tell they’re elementary schoolers, but they still are.
Lots of older siblings are expected to take their younger siblings trick-or-treating, and they only get paid in candy.
You don’t know if that teenager is developmentally disabled.
You don’t know if that teenager spent most of their childhood in a hospital or sick and has never had the traditional trick-or-treat experience before.
You don’t know if this is that teenager’s first Halloween in America, and they just want to experience a piece of American culture.
You don’t know if that teenager ever gets candy any other day of the year.
You don’t know if that teenager has eaten anything at all today.
And those are just things I can think of off the top of my head.
and even if it is just a bored 16/17 year old out trying to see what free shit they can get. is it really gonna kill you to give them a fun sized milky way from the multipack you bought at poundland? That thing didn’t even cost you 5p, just give the kid the sugar, say “nice costume”, and let it go.
There are worse things a teenager could be doing on Halloween instead of trick-or-treating.
It’s been kind if an unspoken rule in my college town that if college students show up at your door in costume you give them candy because they’re also out to have fun and it’s way nicer for the students to trick or treat instead of going out and getting drunk. It’s also a way for the people who don’t want to party and don’t want to drink to have fun so like, we need to stop getting angry at people older than 6 wanting to dress up and get candy.
Heck, we even offer the parents a bit of candy too! It’s all good fun~!
If ya’ll are someone who is all “IT’S HALLOWEEN” since August and then complain about teenagers Trick or Treating then you don’t deserve Halloween at all.
Just for reference, I had my heart fucking broke when I was told I couldn’t go trick or treating anymore. I love dressing up and I didnt feel like I could anymore because I couldn’t go out and show it off while getting candy.
Let people have fun okay? Halloween is a holiday for all. No age limits
Everyone who’s been talking to me knows i’ve been working on this comic about wlws and cats for a while and i’m so so happy it’s finally here!!! :D
idea stolen from this post :’3
the year is 1347. my husband just died from “the plague” and i’m moving in with my female “companion” in a secluded mansion in the european country. we have no kids and two dogs and we seem unusually close. i call her my wife but historians call her my best friend. little does everyone know, she’s both.
Scalding hot take apparently: if a demographic says “I don’t feel safe in the cisgendered heterosexual society, I need space in the LGBT community” and you say “I’m sorry, you’re not oppressed enough, get out” you’re a fucking asshole.
What this post is about;
Ace/aro people getting called “cishet”
Bisexuals getting called “straight passing”
Straight trans people getting told they’re not oppressed
What this post is not about;
Pedophiles
Does it ever give you a nice warm glow, knowing that while Tumblr is struggling to monetize their crappy, semi-functioning website and meeting nothing but resistance, AO3 has built such a beautiful and stable website for us that when they ask us for money, we throw it at them willingly?
Warms me right down to my demonic toesie-woesies.
Bucky: Okay Morgan, there are 206 bones in the body, but! I’m gonna teach you how to dislocate someone’s body in 230 ways—
Sam: Dude. She’s a kid.
Morgan:…
Bucky: Oh yeah! You’re right.
*turns around for a few seconds before turning back with puppets over his hands*
Bucky, in somewhat a Kermit the frog’s voice: Hi kids! We’re going to show you how to dislocate someone’s body! Let’s start with the Clavicle region. Do you know where that is?
Sam: oh my god.
nebula, unfamiliar with terran anatomy: *sits down crisscross applesauce next to morgan*
I’m so glad that with Natasha, er, temporarily indisposed, Bucky is covering Morgan’s important education.
(Actually, the Winter Soldier having been forced to assist in brutally training young women to kill, while Bucky chooses to gently teach a young girl to defend herself, is beautiful character development, and I think a great way to reclaim both his agency and his humanity.)
WHEN nat gets back, she’s gonna be like
nat: okay so what did you teach her?
bucky: breaking bones, and the quickest way to a man’s heart.
nebula: through the ribs.
nat: excellent >:]
TONY, TWENTY MINUTES LATER: Why is my baby sparring with the Black Widow? Why did you give my baby a knife?
NATASHA, DRAMATICALLY CLUTCHING HER SIDE WHERE MORGAN GRAZED HER: You got me.
BUCKY: She didn’t even react like that when I shot her, Morg. You’re good at this. Great job with the stabbing!
TONY: I’m sorry what the fuck is happening.
MORGAN, taking the chef’s knife from Pepper and mining stabbing: no, mom, you hold it like this
PEPPER: I don’t think that’s effective against cucumber but I’ll keep it in mind.
MORGAN: AUNTIE NEBULA! How do I stab a cucumber?
NEBULA, APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE, KNIVES IN HAND AND READY FOR STABBING: What’s a cucumber?
which is the moment when pepper decides to teach nebula how to cook.
Bold of you to assume Pepper knows how to prepare literally anything but salads and sandwiches.
Nebula, on the other hand, has had to survive alone in space.
Please consider: Nebula efficiently dicing the cucumber, and then teaching Morgan and Pepper both how to prepare a simple meal, which would apparently taste better with a specific type of meat that they can’t acquire on Terran, but this is the best she can do given the circumstances.
Nat: Wait what did you teach her?
Bucky: There are 206 bones in the human body…
Nat: James! She is a CHILD!
Nat: If you are fighting an opponent your age Morgan, there may be up to 270 bones in the human body. Children’s bones ares still fusing together. Here is how you can use that….
I’m sorry I’m going to need someone to draw Bucky with his assassin in training murder puppets. On his hands. While Morgan and Nebula watch.
so.. i’ve gotta write this,, right?????? i have to write a fic about this??????
more artwork! || buy me a coffee! || commission me!
@allofthefeelings SOME ONE DID THE THING
Okay but clearly @faytuous is a menace because now I want to write fic about Kermit the Frog as an assassin who crossed paths with Bucky in the past more than once.
