[roycohn]

inspired by a rant i was going on elsewhere bc someone tweeted something very stupid and uninformed about hamlet and it got my back up as someone who took two single-text-focus english literature courses in college and they were on wuthering heights and hamlet, i now put it to all of you on here:

what's "your" shakespeare play?

hamlet

macbeth

the tempest

merchant of venice

midsummer night's dream

twelfth night

richard iii

othello

julius caesar

king lear

another not listed (specify in tags) (i really just put my own top 10 here nbd)

i have no particular feelings about any shakespeare play/results tag

Remaining time: 6 days 13 hours

some days are really hard and it can be difficult to understand why. but usually its probably because my blood is haunted

Black Sails | XVI.

[vampkermits]

ID: a gifset of miranda barlow and captain flint from black sails speaking to each other. miranda looks disturbed and says, "How unrecognizable the woman I am now would be to the woman I was then." flint reaches a hand out to hold hers and says, "I recognize you. You recognize me?" she looks amused at first, and then her expression becomes serious and she says, "Yes." he replies, "So that's in our favor." they both smile and he breaks into a laugh. end ID

BLACK SAILS

4x10 ● “XXXVIII.”

[dubiousdisco]

tbh i'm just writing down the books i see mutuals and irl friends gushing about as a reading list because the last time i read a bad book that had nothing interesting going on i almost died. i can't risk it anymore

[dubiousdisco]

are there bad books on that list though? absolutely. but they have something going on, which is very important

[phantomsofyourformerself]

girl who finally is going back to reading by finishing one book: now i'm going to read all the books in the world.

my princess <3 [bs 5/?]

[john-silvers]

I said no to Marion Guthrie’s plan despite having no alternative and at the risk of losing the entire endeavor because I refuse to situate a man in a position where he might interfere one day with my ability to repair things with you.

What’s popping, you ask? Why, it’s my joints.

[assorted-aesthetics]

like to understand eleanor guthrie you HAVE to understand that personal affection and usefulness are completely equivalent in her mind for the entirety of her life. her father did not love her because she wasn't a boy and was therefore not useful to him. so she shaped her entire self until she could do all the things a son could do and be useful to him. she can't say up front that she cares about flint so she has to kind of bluff about how valuable he is as a captain. she's shown to pretty exclusively be attracted to vane when he's doing her favors, and he thoroughly understands this dynamic. she pays extra to make sure max doesn't have to do a particular sex act with other clients, with the implication that it's bc max dislikes doing that act. it's part of why she's so hurt when max declines her protection. mutual usefulness is the entire basis for her eventual relationship with rogers.

which is why it's awesome that madi, her foil, is the one to say "when a man first needs you and then calls you friend, a little suspicion is a healthy thing" likeeeeee has anybody seen this show before

BLACK SAILS | Season 4, Episode 9 INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | Season 2, Episode 8 HOUSE OF THE DRAGON | Season 3, Episode 6

[tiktaalic]

Rhaenyra drinking whiskey in the kitchen during Westerosi Christmas, completely unprompted: [wistfully] you want to know what drew me to your father? He called me a boy. If I hadn’t been otherwise occupied with daemon you would have been conceived that night on the streets of kings landing. Still. Harwin and I made the most of our time together before he passed.

Normal jakey: ok mom

[tiktaalic]

Normal jakey hits high school and has his first crush on a boy and doesn’t tell rhaenyra because Why Would He but she finds out anyway and its like.

Rhaenyra: You know. Jake. There’s nothing wrong with that. This family-[remembering that daemon is bisexual but homophobic] I will always support you. I’ve always had a deep commitment to supporting the community. You know, your father Laenor had similar proclivities. And I loved him till his dying day. I would never judge someone for who they loved. I think it’s beautiful that you’ve found someone. For you, it’s men. For me, it’s also men.

Normal jakey, who has not seen daemon in months because he left for their second home after a three hour screaming match about how rhaenyra cheated on him with his ex wife, prior to this month has seen alicent 2 times in his life, once at a birthday dinner where she got in a screaming match with rhaenyra and slapped her, once at a birthday dinner where she fell into rhaenyra’s arms sobbing for 20 minutes, now sees her weekly when she walks in gives him the stiffest smile in the world then disappears into rhaenyra’s room until she leaves: ok mom

Derry Girls – 1.05

[bodyintheriver]

Wip. I think the resurrection beasts are cool.

[chipthekeeper]

“I was really surprised to be speaking about this big fantasy series and about a character who on both a personal and political level is somewhat at odds with the gender they were born in. That was something, as a nonbinary person, that resonates strongly....I think she’s always living in counterpoint to what her life might look like were she male.”
