i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

you kind of do have to let multiple layers of meaning and metaphor coexist rather than claiming one is the true reading if you want to get fucking anything out of art

unfortunately i have free will so im about to make art that is going to appeal to basically 4 people. let us hope those 4 people follow me.

i have [gestures vaguely] my tendencies

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)

we all need to take better care of our selfs or we might Pass away

hansry is sometimes misrepresented by fans as a lord x knight romance when in actuality henry is of much lesser status and i think that dynamic is equally intriguing if not more. while henry could in theory be MADE a knight for his service over the course of the games, his bio father may be a knight, and he is kind of in something like military service to his lord, he is a commoner. so the power imbalance that (coupled with the sense of devotion) makes the lord x knight dynamic so intriguing is even more pronounced, especially in intensely hierarchical medieval society. hans isn't treating another member titled, landed elite like an equal behind closed doors, not letting another lord into his bed. he's letting the village blacksmith's son - who, as of a few months ago, was illiterate, had no formal education, had (to his knowledge) nothing beyond a passing secondhand business relationship with the nobility, and no expectations of ever leading a life more complicated than marrying a girl from skalitz and spending his days making horseshoes- into his bed, and his confidence. That Hans sees Henry as something like his equal, in some way, as shown when telling Henry about Galehaut and Lancelot, is soooo. first of all, improper. second of all 😏

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny

"christian characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are atheist" "atheist characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are christian" stop fighting. all human experience is poorly written in movies because the writers are californian

sad feeling to try to mutualbait when the mutual you wanted to bait already finished their tumblr shift for the day
