Hi I Am Crying. I Love You Trans Women ❤

love reading about pets from ancient rome because sometimes you find a sweet little poem an ancient roman had commissioned for their dog, and sometimes you find out that emperor caracalla had a pet lion that he snuggled with in bed

The bury your gays trope has always disproportionately effected sapphic media and now the trope has evolved into entire TV series with sapphic leads getting canceled after 1 or 2 seasons for increasingly shady reasons but are still being pointed to as "representation"

Point blank being told sapphics are good for show but otherwise disposable

Hot people find 1996 Tybalt attractive

say what you will about cicero but you have to admit that it's funny as hell that he wrote a formula for making callout posts

alive can i have new podcast recs please i want new podcast recs please please can i have new podcast recs please horror and also gay

so tma ended, now what? horror podcast recommendation list part 3 oh my god they made more of these things

malevolent - i think people are already turned on to this one because its slowly becoming the new big thing imo. malevolent is about a guy named arthur who fucked up and got his eyes stolen by an eldritch abomination that is also now physically tethered to him and they dont like each other enough to just live like that so they go on an adventure to try and unstick themselves from each other. its a lovecraftian mythos story, so thats the type of horror you're getting. it's not a comedy and its not a romance but it both is a comedy and is a romance you know what i mean? 10/10 can you believe its just one guy doing all of these voices

red valley - red valley is about a guy named warden who works in a weird government agency tasked with trying to find a seed vault that very quickly becomes not a regular seed vault. the characters in this one are all so well written and the gut punches kill me. this is a bit more near future(ish) scifi than regular horror, but while you're listening to it turn into a road trip you're going to be like "alive this isn't scary" and right around that time is when they're going to introduce truly what is one of the most fucked up concepts i've ever heard. 10/10 the british people made me cry again

out of place - okay so stop me if you've heard this one before. there's a british guy working in an archive where he gets weird kind of scary things and his archive institution is shady and there are tapes and its not mag again i swear. out of place starts much the same but instead of getting scary bullshit, andrew starts receiving historical artifacts from different alternate history realities. its fantastic world building, good story telling, and just like. existential dread nightmare after existential dread nightmare. 10/10 i can't listen to this in the grocery story because i will just stare of into space and sigh for twenty minutes at a time.

they're all ongoing and at around 20ish episodes right now and i love them. i only do these rec posts when i can find at least three shows so sorry for how long this ask took to get to <3

i love shakespeare academics. i fucking love them. there’s this one guy who wrote an essay about how claudius is actually possibly innocent, or at least didn’t kill the king by putting poison in his ear, and the ghost was in part a hallucination (it’s a really interesting essay with many good points and i’m using it in my final synthesis for this class) but. BUT. some guy read it on a train. and he lost it.

this guy literally said this essay drove him to “insanity”. he went off the fucking rails about it so much so that he wrote a book over the course of EIGHTEEN YEARS about what ACTUALLY happened in hamlet and dedicated it to the guy who wrote the essay as a big “fuck you”. and that exchange between them is literally inescapable when reading about the play today. here’s an excerpt from the beginning:

this is like. the equivalent of someone making a well-thought out discourse post and then out of nowehere someone reblogging it with thousands of words of pure furious rambling about why op is wrong YEARS LATER. this bullshit started a hundred years ago, literally in the middle of the first world fucking war, and i STILL cannot escape it while reading a book on hamlet published in fucking 2000 because it’s so iconic. and i love it.

I was talking to my friend about Malevolent (because it now lives rent-free in my head) and I mentioned how John is called John, and she was like "haha how weird name for an eldritch god, I would call him... ummm Přibyl", and I was like " I don't think he would pronounce ř correctly" so it merged into Pribyl, which for some reason reminded me of Pribináček (joghurt brand), anyways, here is thing that I'm weirdly proud of:

every six months a new show comes out that looks like this

ableds think they can just explain away all your problems to you it's so annoying. you complain about something and they immediately go "it's because you..." SHUT UP

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
