Eldest Daughter Support Line

so many ways to do the ages in hamlet also. like especially if hamlet is in his 30s or something having claudius be Not That Much Older Than Him is a crazy and feasible choice that makes the dynamics so much more bloodthirsty imo. because why the hell does that guy have any authority in MY court why the hell is he telling ME what to do why is my mother with THAT man. the footing is a lot more equal and it’s so much more of a blow when claudius tells him how to behave

spitting the words “uncle-father” about a man barely older than you >>>>>>

also adds a dimension to the disgust hamlet has toward gertrude if it’s like “you betrayed my father” + “maybe you never loved him anyway” + “maybe you never loved me either” + “that guy is young enough to be your son”

Things should be pretty because it raises morale

they should normalize saying "I'm thinking of you fondly but don't have much to say and frankly I don't even really want to talk rn but you have appeared in my thoughts and it's nice"

how did we get a 90s high school adaptation of emma before northanger abbey. the high school drama is RIGHT there

In Star Wars, the word "attachment" does not mean "relationship".

#the jedi order did not ban relationships#how could they?#that would be ridiculous#relationships are a necessary part of life#and the jedi order itself is a family a community of people of various relationships#what they did counsel against was becoming too attached to any one person in a way that is selfish and greedy and possessive#at its root attachment is the fear of loss#fear leads to anger leads to hate#attachment leads to the Dark Side#it is destructive#and it can happen in ANY relationship#friends. colleagues. master. padawan.#not just romantic relationships#the only reason romantic relationships were maybe discouraged or not pursued was because a jedi of the order could not marry#so a romantic relationship seems a little bit useless in that case when you know at the beginning that someday it will end#without a real commitment#but a jedi COULD leave the order to pursue marriage and remain on good terms with the order!#they just can't have both. they can't give 100% to both the order and a spouse. it's a life vow. a vocation. a question of priorities.#a religious order OR a spouse should be a person's number one commitment and no one can have two number ones.#anakin was afraid to lose both padme and the order so he set about trying to have both#the entire point of the prequels is that the jedi were right about attachment being a poison to relationships#seeing as how anakin's attachment destroyed him and everyone else

It’s really amazing that these people don’t notice the half naked women everywhere it’s just part of the natural environment to them and they genuinely think we live in a prudish society
