(angriest I’ve ever been in my life) and Brutus is an honourable man

So I saw this posted online a couple days ago:

Which is pretty universally getting dunked on, much to my amusement and delight as a literature major. And, hot take, but not every fictional villain warrants a prequel exploring their origin story. But it also led me to post this as a comment on someone's facebook:

[Post-credit scene: A grim Victorian cemetery on a bleak winter's day. After a few seconds lingering on the headstone of JACOB MARLEY'S fresh grave, the camera pans over to reveal MARLEY'S GHOST (Hugh Laurie) wandering among the headstones. Suddenly, a voice speaks:]

VOICE: Welcome, Mr. Marley.

[MARLEY'S GHOST, taken aback, looks around.]

MARLEY'S GHOST: Who speaks?

[The camera pans behind him to reveal THE GHOST OF LITTLE NELL (Zendaya).]

LITTLE NELL: We've been expecting you.

[The theme music comes in on the soundtrack, quietly at first, then slowly but steadily building in volume and intensity.]

MARLEY'S GHOST: "Expecting me?" Is... is this some welcoming committee for the Hereafter?

LITTLE NELL: Not quite. You're among friends, Mr. Marley.

[She extends here hands, but we can't yet clearly see what she's holding.]

LITTLE NELL: And we would like to speak to you about...

[As the music builds to a climax, the camera reveals that what she's holding is a small wooden crutch. After a second or two, the music suddenly stops.]

LITTLE NELL: ...The Cratchit Initiative.

[Cut to black.]

I'm sure many people are posting this, and now I will too. RIP Sam Neill, 1957-2026.

this is all so goddamn unprecedented when you think of what conservatives have held against democratic presidents and politicians like wearing a tan suit or not wearing a suit but a military uniform and yet the east wing of the White House has been completely destroyed and we have the front of the White House holding a UFC fight sponsored by the PRESIDENTS CRYPTO COMPANY and nary a word the mainstream media does not see the corruption

He’s gonna die and I need to be alive when it happens

[maximdorky]

CAITHNESS: Some say he's mad; others that lesser hate him Do call it valiant fury: but, for certain, He cannot buckle his distemper'd cause Within the belt of rule.

ANGUS: Now does he feel His secret murders sticking on his hands; Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach; Those he commands move only in command, Nothing in love: now does he feel his title Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe Upon a dwarfish thief.

--William Shakespeare, MACBETH Act 5, scene ii

While Sam Vimes would be the first to agree that all coppers are bastards, he'd also be the first to say that sometimes, a bastard is exactly what the situation calls for.

Miles Vorkosigan you would have got so much mileage out of the 'oof ouch my bones' meme

Nobody becomes an English major on purpose, you just have a crush on Robert Sean Leonard in Dead Poets Society or the Kenneth Branagh Much Ado About Nothing.

Is a man not entitled to the dumb of his ass?

[maximdorky]

Whoo, first time I've been tagged in a meme on here

I have no OCs because I'm not a very good writer, so! Three fun facts about myself [for certain definitions of "fun"]! 1. Throughout the course of my life, I've been employed as a dishwasher, a park ranger, a cashier, a file clerk, a data analyst, an accounting & inventory specialist, and a college-level English instructor (both at community college and 4-year university). 2. I've lived in Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Delaware. 3. I have a genuine Soviet-era pin commemorating the "Road of Life" ("Doroga Zhizni," the ice road/railway built over Lake Ladoga during the Siege of Leningrad during World War Two) that was given to me by an actual resident of Leningrad.

For tags, I tag @aishatonu

So I've been in the hospital since Thursday morning due to a nasty case of cellulitis. 0/10, would not recommend. Fortunately, I seem to be getting better.
