all my barbies ended up with their hair cut off and wearing the wrong clothes with marker smeared all over them LIKE THE GOOD LORD INTENDED. (of course, they were hand-me-downs from my babysitter, but still.)

right?? evening gown barbie’s meticulously crafted chignon was brutally straightened out and combed into a giant cloud of blonde hair

"I'm erasing myself from the narrative" "this man will not make an orphan of my daughter" "I know my sister better than I know my own heart"

OTHER LINES FROM HAMILTON DO NOT COUNT but sure go and kick my heart’s ass

(also yeah let’s talk about the “I know my sister” parts and when Eliza announces Angelica is on her way)

 ohhh and in today’s sequel to “shit professors...

no, we don’t say “lady physicians.” we just call women “nurses” even if they’re a Scully-certified medical doctor.

and you know, it’s really the poor, poor men in the nursing field who truly exemplify sexism. and not, say, how demeaned the whole field is because it’s mostly female. (and let’s not get into how ~male nurses~ are mocked only because they’re considered to be “degrading themselves” by doing “women’s work”)

I’ve watched almost no movies in theatres this year, and this is a big part of why. “ant-man … meh. age of ultron … whatever.” I’m struggling to even remember what’s been released recently.

i know what you mean. there hasn’t been anything eye-catching in theaters at all, and i’m done w superhero movies until they make a wonder woman/black widow/female lead movie. i saw a trailer for batman vs superman before tmfu and it looks like garbage

BECAUSE IT IS MY NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

I SAY GOD IS DEAAAAAAD

I swear to you, I must have falsely imagined like half the cast of any given teen movie being in this, it’s so confusing. Like some weird movie pareidolia.

I would like to know more about how Banquo had it coming!

OKAY SO

Banquo’s got that short soliloquy at the start of 3.1 where he’s like “It sure is awfully convenient that Duncan ended up murdered right after those witches said you’d be king, buddy.” The most significant part of the speech is “I fear thou play’dst most foully for it,” since that shows that Banquo is totally onto Macbeth’s shenanigans. In that case, murdering Banquo is just good business. You know, on the murder curve.

But THEN, the last thing he says in the speech before Macbeth and his court enter is:

“Why, by the verities on thee made good, May they not be my oracles as well, And set me up in hope?”

So Banquo’s already thinking about what the Weird Sisters promised him! His initial disbelief in the prophecy has been turned to cautious hope now that parts of it have come true--which is the same trajectory Macbeth himself follows re: the prophecy earlier in the play. PRETTY AMBITIOUS THERE, BANQUO.

Plus, given that Banqup knows the fulfillment of Macbeth’s prophecy was not through an act of Providence, but through Macbeth murdering his way into kingship... the fact that he’s wondering if his descendants might rule as promised suggests to me that he’s not averse to overthrowing Macbeth (or in assisting Fleance in overthrowing him, or in Fleance waiting till Macbeth’s death and ousting other claimants). Macbeth has no children, after all, so his DNA isn’t going to marry his way into the kingship. Usurpation’s the only option.

And even if Banquo just means “hey, maybe my descendants will be kings centuries from now!” it’s still kinda sketch, because then it’s like “well, I mean, my friend committed regicide, but I guess that’s cool if my half of this thing comes true too!”

Banquo was totally going to start some shit, IMO. Banquo had to go.
