sweatpants and tanktop is the lingerie of the proletariat

I know why you drew him. Because he is beautiful.

whatever happens happens but sometimes it would be nice if it didn’t happen

going into a bougie supermarket makes me feel like that one painting of the bolshevik standing in the russian palace

There are multiple chapters that are set in hospitals where the characters are attempting to recover from injuries that never fully heal. I must once again stress that my experience in WWI was perfectly normal.

There is a giant horrible mudplain full of unrecoverable and perfectly preserved dead bodies that the characters have to walk through in a land where the air is poisoned gas, and on a compLETELY UNRELATED NOTE: WWI WAS TOTALLY FINE AND NORMAL!!

It's spring now which means the kids in my city have started drawing hopscotches on the sidewalk and as a rule I do every hopscotch I see because 1. Use it or lose it (ability to scotch) and 2. If a child got down on the hardscrabble streets of Boston Massachusetts to draw a scotch the least I can do is use it, but in doing the hopscotches, I've learned that about 50% of them are the typical 8-10 step scotch and the other 50% are. Somewhat avant-garde. And of course I'm not vetting the entire scotch before I start it so sometimes it's like haha 8 steps woo! Childlike whimsy! And sometimes they're 20 steps or 30 or they've got a section with three squares instead of two where you have to do a little Charleston to step on all three, or, memorably, FORTY one foot squares. A full BLOCK of jumping on one foot but I'm no quitter so once I've started Jigsaw Junior's fuckin hopscotch gauntlet I'm there til the end just a daily pot smoker in her thirties jumping kasa-obake style through an affluent suburb while some little proto-kennedy watches from his bedroom window rubbing his sadistic little third grade hands together and cackling. It's amazing. I love spring.

I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains.  Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does.  Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be.  Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does.  This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.

as someone who is partially a classicist, this is a better analysis of Greek mythology as a whole than 99.95% of the takes I’ve seen on here (and a substantial number of the takes I’ve seen in ~academia~)

This is what I’ve been tryna say! For example, of course Apollon can be terribly wrathful, he’s the harsh Mediterranean Sun

#the allegory to Black boyhood Lou brought to this character is simply unmatched by any other adaptation of pinocchio. it's That Good.

[ID: Three gifs of Lou Wilson in Dimension 20: Neverafter. He says, "I think Pinocchio wants to know why his life has been so hard. Why it needed to be this hard. Why everything has always been as hard as it is. Why nothing has ever worked out. "Why do other children get to lie and steal and still live good lives? And why does anytime I choose to do those things, I get hung, or my feet get burned, or my father gets eaten? "It's like every time I fail or have a misstep, I suffer the ultimate consequences, and that doesn't happen to other kids, and I want to know why. What was the goal? Why did I have to suffer?" /end ID]

everything will probably be fine but i have to get really anxious just in case

bbc merlin has a lot of faults but i do think the way they blithely ignored the existence of christianity was very funny of them
