Hamlet adaptation where Hamlet is a vlogger and all his soliloquies are breakdowns he uploads to YouTube
⌠I am unironically here for this
this is the funniest thing Iâve ever seen in my life
This is - legitimately - my favourite delivery of Shakespeare I have EVER seen (and I have seen some good-ass productions yo, in the Globe Theatre itself even). Like seriously, even though the words are unchanged, heâs stripped away ALL of the archaic pretense and assumed grandeur of ~presenting the bard~ that makes even the most wildly talented of actors and innovative of productions inherently inaccessible to a modern audience. Like, theyâre still great, they can still communicate the message and (some) of the nuance, but theyâre still always a step removed from being identifiable to any viewerâs lived experience. Theyâre still always reciting 15th century poetry. But this guy? This guy is like, screw iambic pentameter, to hell with being precious about the material, HOW WOULD AN ACTUAL PERSON SAY THIS SHIT?
Like this. And itâs beautiful. Itâs beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because heâs presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.
So yeah, this shit post? I love it. Deeply and sincerely.
A post about this went round recently, and Iâm delighted to announce sheâs since come out as trans and goes by Jasmine đłď¸ââ§ď¸
Actor and Writer
Thereâs a whole series of the Hamlet videos on her YouTube, as well as a bunch of other films sheâs made
I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM
oh. oh no.

So. Storytime for guerilla gardeners and solarpunk enthusiasts. This story comes to me 3rd hand but I believe the basic shape of it is true, even if details may be off.
So thereâs this guy who lives in my parentsâ town. Wanted to have a pocket farm but lives on an urban lot in a small city instead because yâknow jobs and stuff. He could definitely get a few raised beds in the backyard but nothing all that impressive and the front yard is on a very busy road with the expectation that itâll look reasonably traditional (plus planting food by busy roads isnât always a good idea).
However
After heâs lived there for a while, he realizes his neighbors are all older people who maybe have more challenges taking care of their yards than they used to. So he goes to his next door neighbor and offers a deal: Iâll mow and maintain your front yard for free if you let me knock down the fences between our backyards and plant them both with food. And youâll get a cut of the produce.
Presumably the neighbor already knew and trusted this guy because he said yes. So he starts mowing and maintaining his and his neighborâs front yards and planting food in their now-shared backyards. After a season or two this goes well enough that the next neighbor down the street asks if he can be in on this too.
So now thereâs 3 front yards to mow and three backyards full of produce. And it keeps going from there. Dude gets a rider lawnmower and does everyoneâs front yards, and meanwhile heâs maintaining an entire blockâs worth of produce in the back. His yields got so high that he was able to start offering boxes of produce outside of the blockâs residents too. This is how I heard of him: my parentsâ next door neighbors were picking up a regular box of produce from him.
I love a couple of things about this story:
Offering to maintain peopleâs front yards for them allows baby boomers to feed their thirst for keeping up appearances while still getting food production into the neighborhood
As homeowners age offering services like this is legitimately good community building
BLOCK-LONG POCKET FARM
These exact circumstances might not be replicable everywhere, but I love thinking about how these principles could be applied.
This is the way!
Note how building these community projects require meeting the community members where they're at, accepting that they're not going to be anti-lawn overnight and finding something that works for what you value and what they value.
Are you the same Jenna Moran that made Wisher Theurgist Fatalist? If you are I'd love to hear about your experience writing it. It's a fascinating work!
That's me!
I saw a post a couple of days ago that said one of the most important things about Steven Universe, thematically, is that everybody in the core cast has done at least one completely morally unjustifiable thing, regardless of how likeable or sympathetic they are otherwise, and that this is important to understanding the show thematically. This is true.Â
But it also reminded me of one other thing I really like about Steven Universe, which is that itâs the emotional-toxicity equivalent of all those posts about how cartoons have to come up with unimaginably worse forms of death and violence in the course of avoiding getting censored for depicting plausible forms of death and violence. All of the ways in which SU characters cross those emotional and interpersonal lines are wrapped up either in their fantastic abilities or their bizarre life circumstances in a way that makes it all esoterically awful and often much more existentially horrifying than any of the real-life dynamics itâs alluding to. Youâve said nasty things to people in the heat of the moment but youâve never shapeshifted into the guyâs dead wife to twist the knife a little more. No violation of bodily autonomy is ever gonna involve contriving a situation in which the other party will believe that itâs necessary to fuse with you, body and soul in order to do demolition work. The most toxic relationship in the world isnât gonna involve imprisoning someone at the bottom of the ocean for several months and only emerging to participate in humanoid-sacrifice rituals. Your codependency will never last 8,000 years, be frontloaded with a faked death youâre biomechanically incapable of confessing to, and end with your partnerâs suicide-by-childbirth. Your worst roommate situation will never end with one party stealing the apartment and taking it to the moon. Et al. Et al.
I donât remember where I was going with this, precisely, (and I may have drifted sideways from the original discussion topic of crossed lines per se, but whatever.) I mean part of itâs funny because it exists in a series with tons of mundane, non-metaphorical examinations of interpersonal issues, like everything to do with Lars and Sadie, or Sour Cream and Marty. And thereâs an extent to which Iâm just describing how cartoons are written. But thereâs something special about how Steven Universe does it. Something delightfully fucked up about it all. I think maybe part of it is that itâs a considered and embraced fucked-upedness, none of this is just an ill-considered fridge-logic by-product of something else they were trying to do. Like for every one of these, someone in the writers room probably went, âMan, this has some fucked up implications,â and then everyone would go, âYeah!â and hi five and put it in specifically because of that. Great Show. Great show
Iâm well and settled on the opinion that Steven Universe had to seriously stack the deck in its own favor to prevent the narrative from ending with anyone getting guillotined. I mean, Steven conveniently having a foot in the door with the diamonds because he turned out to be related, sure, but it goes into the characterization and worldbuilding, too.
Rather than cackling dictators, first off, The Diamonds had to be emotionally-arrested overgrown children; the dynamic between them and Pink was always, with context, less of a parent-child thing and more like three twelve-year-olds lecturing an eight-year-old on adult responsibility, theyâre fundamentally aping a notion of the right way to be and I think itâs a mistake to view them as fully-realized people at the point where Steven finds them. Gem society, too, is less of a society, with all its messy moving parts, and more of a sanitized dollhouse representation of a society thatâs only just starting to morph into the real deal via the rebellion. Thereâs no genuinely complicated politics to untangle; just gems meaninglessly play-acting at politics. And, crucially, nobody is getting anything out of any of it- gems are a needless society, they expand endlessly because theyâŚ. donât not do that, thereâs no material incentive to behave the way they do, no economic reality Steven has to counter in order to make the horror stop. All he has to do is convince three emotional runts to stop being awful.
Now, where I differ in my thinking, I think, is that in contorting the worldbuilding to make sure that the diamond redemption wasnât something patently insane, they really hit upon an incredibly compelling science-fiction set-up. Three Elder Gods playing âItâs A Good Lifeâ with a tea-party sham of a civilization full of individuals who nonetheless feel real pain, Three Elder Gods who cause harm, and lots of it, but mainly through their lack of moral context and lack of understanding of what even constitutes harm, Three Elder Gods whom you, a puny human, actually have some pretty potent emotional leverage over but no way to overpower if it comes to a fight? A set-up where part of the horror is how easy it would be to pinpoint the source of the horror and make it stop? Thatâs fucking dynamite! Iâd watch five whole seasons of just that! Hell, even in canon it doesnât even stop- two years later and Steven is still kinda trying to deal with the fact that the Diamondâs good behavior is kinda-sorta dependent on his willingness to keep dealing with them and he has no real way to be sure any of it is sticking! Thereâs no actual end in sight! Thereâs no clean resolution! Itâs messy and itâs harrowing and itâs specifically because culpability and morality and ethics and all of that is so goddamn sticky when youâre a consequentialist trying to play ball with super-advanced childlike Von Neuman Machines!
Steven Universe is interesting to me because itâs got the most extreme dichotomy between ideas that would be better fleshed out in a show for adults, and ideas that are interesting specifically because theyâre native to an unironic childrenâs show.
Can you elaborate on this? It seems interesting.
Sure. This is gonna be a long one.
Here are two things I believe about Steven Universe:
First, Steven Universe has a lot of high-concept science fiction worldbuilding concepts that it is not really interested in engaging with, because it is not what the show is about. These include:
The radical alternate history of the world, including the changed division of the states, the fact world war 2 possibly didnât happen, the absence of Russia, the cultural fallout of California (somehow!) being flyover the way the Midwest is often treated as in real life. All of these are, like, hugely interesting, and totally ancillary to what the show wants to do, so theyâre exclusively used for one of gags.Â
The presence of âRoadside picnicâ- style depots of abandoned alien technology all over the planet, including in places that teens are capable of casually accessing in some cases, as well as the presence of wandering inhuman monsters that have coexisted with humanity for as long as thereâs been agriculture. This is the kind of thing that should have a much larger impact on the shape of culture than it was shown to, and the main reason it doesnât is because the show is thematically about Steven acting as a bridge between the two mostly siloed worlds- but the world is implicitly big enough that stuff should be happening without him and around him! And yet you never get anyone remotely curious about any of it who donât use Steven as an entry point.
The occurrence of a massive extraterrestrial war in the showâs backstory, with thousands of superpowered aliens fighting an ideological rebellion against their totalitarian homeworld, culminating in a giant not-qute-but-arguably-worse-than-a-massacre, and including ideological infighting among the âheroicâ side about how far is too far. All issues famously better unpacked in a show for adults.
The biology and society of the gems themselves. Generally examined in broad strokes as needed to make the story work, but many of my favorite SU fan works are the ones that do deep headcanon dives into the how and why of the gems- what are gems, how did their culture come to be, what does the day-to-day look like, why do they all have weapons by default, what was their militarization for, what are the mechanics of fusion, why do fusions always have a coherent aesthetic concept if cross-gem fusions arenât supposed to happen, what are the implications of a society where âwall decorationâ is a job that a sentient being is custom-engineered to fill, often digging even further into the horrifying implications of their society than the show itself could get away with.
However.
Steven Universe has a number of emotional arcs, character arcs and trope examinations that work so well specifically because Steven Universe is unironically a show aimed at children. One one level, this is because you have to adapt really mature themes and arcs so that kids will get them and so the suits will let you; on another level you have to pull it off with the constraint of 11-minute episodes, you have to work with the strengths and weaknesses of animation, you have to throw in the flashy stuff that kids watch cartoons for. And that leads to some beats that, in terms of pure craft, are interesting in terms of how theyâre executed in the specific context of a kids show.
Roseâs arc, particularly the fact that her death is suicide-coded as all-get-out, and her behaviors are allowed to ripple forward, benefit and damage her survivors in a consistent way in a way that Iâve never seen- in a childrenâs show.
Pearlâs abandonment issues, rampant projection, complicated feelings regarding Steven and Greg, her treatment of Connie, her difficulty forming an independent identity and the ways in which that hurts the people around her- in a childrenâs show.
Amethystâs arc, her guilt simply for being born (and what thatâs a metaphor for), everything thatâs implied about her dynamic with Greg and Rose in Maximum Capacity, her identity problems and lack of cultural context, all unpacked over the course of dozens of episodes of a childrenâs show.
Lapisâs bumpy, non-linear recovery arc, including her toxic relationship with Jasper and an excellent approximation of an emotionally abusive relationship with Peridot, all- and I cannot beat this drum enough- in a childrenâs show. Similarly, Sadie and Larsâs whole thing and how that was given space to breathe and play out.
And of course, Steven himself. Stevenâs long term arc is normally something you would find in a show like The Venture Brothers, something thatâs willing to play off the tropes of the kid hero while being very much aimed at an older audience, with a level of detached parodic irony baked into the execution (since theyâre often unpacking specific characters via expies.) Steven Universe is literally the only childrenâs thing Iâve seen on TV that, even as it does all the unironically fun adventures and misadventures, also does the work to examine how much being an archetypical wholesome Saturday-morning cartoon kid hero would screw you up, and we watch it happen in real time, and thereâs a whole season fully highlighting the damage his status as a kid hero has done to his identity.  And I canât stress enough the degree to which the impact would be lost if this arc hadnât been done âin house;â if Steven Universe Future had been done twenty years from now as a deconstructive parody of a nostalgia property, it would suck. It wouldnât land.
Steven Universe is a show that taught me to meet a story where itâs at, and judge itâs success and failures in terms of what it chose to prioritize, and not what I would have wanted to prioritize had I been writing it. Because at the end of the day, itâs fine to let the high-concept nerdbait setting elements fall by the wayside in favor of prioritizing the character-driven thematic stuff and genre analysis stuff.Â
(Indeed, I feel like it was a very pointed choice to have this whole OC-friendly gem-with-weapons-and-powers character-design schema and then have huge chunks of the show where the fighting and custom weapons and monster hunting werenât relevant to what was going on, they lure you in with the promise of a RWBY-style  monster-fighting show and then do mostly slice of life. Very funny trick.)

having a process for people who have done morally horrific things to make amends, rejoin community, and do right going forward is actually fundamentally crucial for the left. having a clear and accessible pathway for people to be socially (if not interpersonally) forgiven is how you get people radicalized against capitalism and imperialism and white supremacy and patriarchy. its how you turn "these people think i am a bad person" into "these people think something and someone coerced or forced me into doing bad things, and these people want to help me do something about that."
if you want more revolutionaries, you must have a system to turn guilty, traumatized, angry bystanders and collaborators into revolutionaries. and I say a system and process because its not "oh the drone operator said they were sorry and felt bad so its all good now :)" there is no shortcut here. but it is absolutely necessary. no revolution is comprised of morally pure people. in many cases, the most devoted revolutionaries are the ones who know exactly what it is like on the other side.

robot girl with vampire girl friend: ok so I take the imitation blood compound and soak it in a sponge material, then cover that in adequately realistic skin and install it somewhere on my body. the smell should be realistic enough, and then, I just need a plausible explanation for what the real function of it is supposed to be so it's not too obvious that- i mean, so that she knows not to bite it to compromise the important purpose it serves.
vampire girl accidentally stumbling on the blueprints: there's got to be some practical reason for this, i'm probably just reading into it, i mean, sure, it looks like she's considering attaching an exposed piece of bloody synthetic flesh to her neck that has no actual functionality, but I don't know how she works. she definitely doesn't want me to bite her. that would be a really weird thing to assume.
their succubus friend absolutely loves hanging out with the two because the particular kind of repression going on here is like a really interesting flavor of sugar free energy drink to her, can't get it anywhere else. no actual nutritional value but like, the stimulant effect is pretty good anyway
just like her oddly placed âcoolant gel storage compartmentsâ
i just donât feel like we as a society ever fully processed deedee megadoodoo
