The Curious Props

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

"a little touch of harry in the night" remains one of the top 3 shakespeare lines that's so fantastically stupid it instantly obliterates any chance of seriousness and loops around to being almost good. the other two being "of hotspur, coldspur?" and "o were mine eyeballs into bullets turned / that in rage i might shoot them at your faces"

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

THERE IS A BOAT BY IVAN AIVAZOVSKY!!

thinking about how Mantel writes Cromwell and Anne. How Cromwell wants to see innocence in Anne because he wants to believe it of himself. How he can't. There's only one person who's ever understood me and I hate that guy (Anne Boleyn. Thomas Cromwell.)
