the craziest staging in hadestown will forever be eurydice running after orpheus in chant and him NOT turning around and that being the issue. he doesn’t see her!!! the reason she goes to hadestown is BECAUSE he doesn’t turn around!!! it’s an old song it’s a tragedy!!!!!!

i love jordeclan because declan’s pov is like ‘jordan is mysterious and elusive, like a painter’s muse. she should be immortalised in art.’ and then the next day he’s posing by the window for jordan to paint his portrait who’s going to tell him HES the muse in this situation

tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary

Alright which one of you forgot to bring the table

Sober as fuck at the back of the club going onto Wikipedia and typing "List of birds"

Immortal Leon carefully erasing all mention of himself from history so no one ever suspects him of being anything other than a regular guy™ vs. immortal Merlin telling every historian through time to write that he’s the most powerful wizard ever and Arthur couldn’t have done shit without him

"grackle" really is a perfect name for a bird. knocked it out of the park w/ that one

was looking at medieval whale images earlier (got distracted in my medieval manuscript boat perusals) and let me tell you I found the funniest fucking “whale” you can imagine. brb

no but the “”ai”” boom is crazy bc they made the entire internet so shitty that the only reason to use it is because it’s where all the people are and now they’re getting rid of the people. like i’m straight up logging off and going to the library there’s nothing on here anymore

‘here’s how to tell if an image is ai’ ‘signs the person you’re talking to is a bot’ ‘how to tell if a song is ai generated’ ah but consider this: i am shutting my laptop and walking outside

I saw a bsky post last year where someone said their grandma couldn't tell what was real on the internet anymore so she stopped using it and I really, genuinely think the techbros currently ruining everything have never even considered that possibility. their projections and pie charts and market share research and whatever simply do not take into account a scenario where people lose interest in being online. like yeah we're pretty much all gonna keep using the internet to book travel and look up words and order pizza, but in terms of how we spend our leisure time? I'm still extremely online, but in the last few years I've been learning candlemaking and carpentry and sewing, and I was already spending a lot of time cooking and reading books and skating at the rink and hiking, and an afternoon spent on any of those things always leaves me feeling better about myself than an afternoon spent doomscrolling. I think my daily life is going to keep reflecting that more and more as the slop encroaches, and it sounds like I'm far from the only one feeling that way. silver lining to everything, I suppose.

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat
