PEOPLE NEED TO STOP CALLING MY FICS ABANDONED OR ELSE IM GONNA CRY AT THEM
in the vein of thinking about “shakespeare movies I had to watch for school” I should also add that I will never be getting over how the 1996 Hamlet movie makes Hamlet and Horatio have their final conversation like five feet apart from each other
This is the only wide shot we get of them but neither of them ever move any closer to each other as Hamlet keels over. He’s doing his “If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart” yadda yadda and Horatio is like an entire couch over going “mhm mhm” looking like this
but no he can’t get any closer that would be gay obviously. we let the clashing pattern jacket and cravat slide but we can’t have Horatio cradling his body that would just be too gay for him to do while his….(checks notes) best friend is dying
also the result of having them stay so far away is that their exchange about Horatio letting go of the poisoned cup- which iirc, is usually staged with Horatio right next to Hamlet, where Hamlet has juuuuust enough strength to wrench the cup out of Horatio’s hands, and usually spills it, hence the “give me the cup LET GO by heaven I’ll have it” line-
in this it’s just Kenneth Branagh Yelling Very Intensely From The Floor.
like he’s got absolutely zero power here Horatio could absolutely down that thing
also they carry Hamlet’s body out like this which I distinctly remember not being able to take seriously even a little
fever dream of a movie tbh
I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable
oh shit i almost missed it!
please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever
"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like
it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919
#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out
it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919
writer culture is feeling mildly called out by every "go write instead of scrolling tumblr!!" post out there while you continue scroll tumblr instead of writing
"I have killed you.", said the Goddess calmly, "Do not bring yourself back to life because I will kill you again."
they should. give me one thousand dollars every month so i can commission artists who are very clearly unwell
to the surprise of approximately no one, i am thinking about video game mechanics and mcrp and c!owen and violence again. i am thinking about interesting accidental resonances and i am thinking about what someone's medium of choice makes it easy to tell stories about. the thing is, owen's pov of outsiders is a story that, despite being told almost exclusively in minecraft, really does not want to be a story set in minecraft.
what do you mean you havent used mindfulness techniques to accept the state of the torture labyrinth as is yet. its like youre not even trying
