allegory, allegorier, allegoriest

All "takes" on this blog reflect real policy that will come to pass in the dark era of my rule

there's an anime everyone's into right now and it must be really confusing because everyone in the tags keeps going "wha?" it's okay gang you'll figure it out.

love island should introduce a "scheming eunuch" islander who is like a smart and completely asexual islander exempt from being kicked off or being made to participate in any challenges and they're just there to provide advice and be a sort of sounding board for the other islanders when they need a disinterested party to talk things through with. but the scheming eunuch has secret goals unbeknownst to anyone e.g. a cash prize for talking a certain couple into breaking up etc.

the first time that we see an actual pirate battle in black sails being from the point of view of a first timer who was there as an accountant.... people complain that black sails is a lot of talk and little action but like that's what organized armed forces are like! it's 90% logistics and 10% violence !! having the bloodless accountant of all people be our pov character who goes fucking apeshit in the adrenaline of survival is just sooo good !!!! it's so much better and more intense and grounded in the senses than if we had followed flint or billy, who we as an audience would not be able to relate to, and would have allowed us to distance ourselves from the reality of carnage. sorry this isn't particularly insightful i just LOVE black sails that's good writing babey! remember good writing ! rare good writing sighting ! good writing: not a myth. good writing: it's possible if you simply write good. it's that easy

Those are clearly complimentary and thus this isn’t theft. A social faux pas perhaps but that’s all.
