Everything is Happening All the Time

i think happiness might be a set of conditions and discipline is finding ways to tie yourself to them like a bobsled dog

and the meaning of life is making decisions

nice things will happen but first you have to lose all hope and die 45 times

the thing that you HAVE to understand about much ado about nothing is that beatrice and benedick are NOT COOL. they are HUGE DORKS and also major softies. they make everything loud and obnoxious and about themselves because they are SO hurt about what happened in the past between them and SO sensitive about it. Beatrice says this more explicitly but it’s also true about benedick. he gets legitimately so upset and angry when he thinks beatrice doesn’t know who he is at the party and she calls him a dumbass. he storms off stage when he sees her next. because he’s hurt!!! because it really really matters to him what she thinks!!!! and right after that Beatrice literally talks about how Benedick “lent [her his heart] awhile, and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one. Marry, once before he won it of me with false dice” HE BETRAYED HER and she’s STILL UPSET. “thus goes everyone to the world but I, and I am sunburnt” she is not railing against marriage because she’s principled against it or because she’s Strong Female Character (tm). she’s sunburnt!!! she loved benedick more than he loved her and she’s still torn up about it!!!! she would rather never deal with that again!!! which is what you have to understand here. they are putting up fronts that they don’t care all the time. they are putting of fronts of Cool Mean Witty Remark Girl and Living It Up As A Bachelor Dude but this is not who they are in ANY way and they are both so sensitive and get hurt so easily!!!!!! and this is why they almost don’t get together this is why they almost take it all back in the last scene!!! they can’t be vulnerable! they can’t risk it! it’s easier to be Cool Mean Witty Remark Girl than just Beatrice who got her heart broken and now can’t trust anymore. it’s easier to be Living It Up As A Bachelor Dude when you blew it with the girl you’re obsessed with and you survived war just to go back to her after you broke her heart and she calls you a dumbass to your face. the vulnerability necessary to their relationship only happens through their friends but otherwise they are actually hopeless. it is so so important to me that these two are both incredibly sappy losers

Fffuuuuck

Thinking about how much I love Havelock Vetinari. The lawful neutral character ever. Benevolent dictator. Loves his city almost as much as it annoys the everloving shit out of him. Uses his reputation as a villainous despot to make sure the papers get filed. Attracted to competence. Is fully aware of his own capacity for evil bullshit and tries his very best to only use it for good reasons. Gets sadistic enjoyment out of giving Vimes promotions. Unionized the thieves and seamstresses. Canonically fucked a becardiganed vampire milf. His name is a pun. Havelock Vetinari I love you

i wonder how many they'll need

i hesitate even to speculate

not now mom I have to see what my mutuals with masters degrees are blogging about on tumblr

Everyone says that the eagles should have just carried the ring to Mordor but people who really know their lore know that they were actually stuck in some sort of hotel

In the wake of J.K. Rowling's *ahem* activities, a just society is one in which Discworld got even half the mainstream attention Harry Potter did in our world. There would be Ankh-Morpork and other Discworld-themed places at Universal, a multi-billion dollar movie franchise about Sam Vimes, several movies based on individual novels like Equal Rites, Soul Music, Small Gods or Going Postal, throngs of fans gathering for an annual Hogswatch celebration on New Year's or wearing lilacs and donating to charity on the Glorious 25th of May, and meanwhile people would only really talk about Harry Potter like it's a fun novelty they picked up, like "Oh yeah, that's a great series. Wait, who's J.K. Rowling?" It would definitely be way more inclusive to trans people, for sure (real ones know).

Evolution line

bro it sounds like maybe you need a reminder of the glorious interconnectedness of all things?

Any Rothko that is like a Bart? Would be nice

Just like Bart!
