trying this new thing where I make my decisions based on “common sense” and not my prophetic visions & omens

I want to learn how to play the piano and the violin and the accordion and also I want to learn latin and greek and italian and russian and japanese and I also wanna take acting and singing and dancing classes and I wanna draw and I wanna paint and I wanna sculpt and I wanna write stories and compose songs and bake bread and I will never forgive my country's school system for taking up ALL of the space in my life and letting me do none of those things

Banksy sees Trump serving McDonald’s in the White House and throws his hat on the floor and jumps on it repeatedly, cursing like an old timey gold prospector.

miscommunication as a plot device makes me angry

if you just talked to each other but no

big fan of the “I can’t fix him but I can follow him to his tragic and untimely end and love him even as he becomes corrupted and decays into a shadow of his former self” trope

literally i just can’t comprehend any interpretation of hamlet that doesn’t put grief at the center like. hamlet’s father died and he is actively grieving throughout the play that is the driver of all of his behavior. “is hamlet actually crazy or is he putting on a performance” is a boring question to me because grief is a type of insanity. grief makes you feel like you are performing even when you are all alone. it makes you feel like you’re seeing things it makes you feel completely alone it makes you cling to the people around you it makes you push them away it makes you angry and sad and hamlet wants to kill claudius for replacing his father and taking his mother from him as much as he wants to kill him for revenge.

For heaven’s sake let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings

Everything from “how do I describe my character’s skin tone without being offensive?” and “what’s the problem with comparing my character to chocolate and coffee?”

I’m hoping to address all these and likewise questions in this guide on describing POCs’ skin color, from light, dark and all that’s in between.

The Food Thing: So what’s the big deal?

So exactly what is the problem with comparing a POC’s skin tone to cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar and other sweets and goods? Well, there’s several potential problems you come across when you pull out the old Hershey’s bar comparison for your dark-skinned character, even if offense is not your intention.
