this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

kabesattic

This is - legitimately - my favourite delivery of Shakespeare I have EVER seen (and I have seen some good-ass productions yo, in the Globe Theatre itself even). Like seriously, even though the words are unchanged, he’s stripped away ALL of the archaic pretense and assumed grandeur of ~presenting the bard~ that makes even the most wildly talented of actors and innovative of productions inherently inaccessible to a modern audience. Like, they’re still great, they can still communicate the message and (some) of the nuance, but they’re still always a step removed from being identifiable to any viewer’s lived experience. They’re still always reciting 15th century poetry. But this guy? This guy is like, screw iambic pentameter, to hell with being precious about the material, HOW WOULD AN ACTUAL PERSON SAY THIS SHIT?

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.

So yeah, this shit post? I love it. Deeply and sincerely.

The writer's barely plausible alibi.

#i think this is that thing where 19th century authors had to contrive a series of events for the manuscript to “appear” in their possession #complete with justifiable narrator and with total disregard for the rest of ways the rest of the text break reality #“yes it is entirely possible that a guy was briefly in another world and made it back here to give me his journal before leaving entirely” #“don't think too hard about it” (via @flameintheblacknight)

Say what you will about 19th Century literary critics' inexplicable hate-boner for the third-person omniscient perspective, but the lengths that 19th Century authors often went to in order to avoid getting CinemaSins dinged for failing to adequately contextualise how the narrator could possibly know all this are frequently the funniest stuff I've ever read.

#there's one point in Frankenstein where we're like four layers of meta-narrative deep #safie telling a story to the delaceys being recounted by the creature to Frankenstein who is telling this to Walton #who is recounting everything to his sister #wonderful stuff (via @bones-edition)

I'm trying to recall whether Shelley's Frankenstein is actually the most deeply narratively-nested 19th C. novel I've ever read, and I think it might actually be – I can think of a couple of others that get three layers deep, but none that exceed four.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.

Thimble

So I wanted to write a post about Thimble because I've looked into the Thimble tag and found a lot of posts about Occtis, and Julien, and Bolaire.

I'm a big fan of Laura-Fuck-the-Healing-I'm-Doing-Damage-Bailey. I've talked before about how much I loved Jester as someone who, when they were younger, felt like they had to distance themselves from all the girly bits of fantasy because it was a genre of big important heroes and girly stuff marked you as firmly a side character, and often an obnoxious love interest who, the second she walked away, all the REAL characters would shrug their shoulders and shake their head and be like "who can understand women?" Because Jester WAS girly and silly and naive and all of that, but she was a whole character and one of the most interesting ones in the show, and everyone around her just wanted to be around her more.

There's still a part of me that feels absurdly bouyed by the cast saying "well, Vox Machina doesn't have a leader, but also the leader is Vex".

This season Thimble has been the absolute best for stand up and cheer hero moments. She's an absolutely filthy build that maybe shouldn't have been allowed when she only had 3 strength, nevermind now at 19. She is a rogue who is able to disengage and move vertically. She has a spell like ability that grants her automatic advantage against everyone of her choice in 60 feet, and as a swashbuckler she also gets sneak attack as long as she's fighting someone on her own. She's got a misty step according to the wiki.

I love that she's been consistently willing to, well, swashbuckle. To be this daring front line person with the understanding that others are behind her to support. That she makes decisions like "I'm staying behind for Teor." I love that she's been right up there in taking desperate measures.

I have definitely enjoyed the situations her small size has put her in. Grates, bags, some dude's pants. Might get accidentally stepped on while stoned. No one will be able to find her if she hides.

I love that she is as connected as she is to this part of Araman that's inaccessible to a lot of the other characters. I love that, while she's not making a huge deal about it, her body has become uncomfortably mortal, and it's possible that's the fault of her best friend in the whole world. I enjoy that, while she fits comfortably into adventure-genre expectations about heroic violence, she's also a commentary on how hollow revenge can sometimes be. I think there's a good chance her tininess and air of whimsy are mitigating some of horror of the murder lust- though also it helps that she's mainly been going after absolute ghouls (sometimes literally). I mean, that's the genre too, isn't it? There are things that are actual evil and they have to be stopped.

I enjoy that any time she's among fairies, she's sort of misrepresenting how in charge of the situation she is and they're perfectly happy to let her do it. I like the too big for her tiny britches aspect that sometimes comes up- but then again, the rewarded audacity is why those big moments pay off, isn't it?

Did you know that AO3 allows fics with homicide in them? There’s a whole tag for Major Character Death and even more tags so you can find exactly what kind of character death you want to read.

Don’t they know that murder is illegal? You just know there are a bunch of homicidal maniacs out there who love to read those stories. They write them, too, in between killing people.

Anyone can read the stories on AO3! Kids can read them! They’re getting exposed to stabbing, poisoning, even guns! And they’re writing the heroes doing the killing, too! That’s basically telling kids it’s okay to go out and murder their families. It’s promoting violence and encouraging homicide and if we don’t do something about it soon, you’ll be murdered next!

The devil came to my house and tried to burn it down, which is why this post exists in the first place.

funniest thing to ever happen was when my boyfriend put on the first episode of columbo (which i'd never seen) but he wouldn't tell me what show it was he would only say "you'll get it when he shows up." but a fun fact about the first episode of columbo is that he doesn't show up for 32 minutes and when he does, he silently walks into the room with a cigar and does a little pose and goes "hi i'm columbo."
